1. Was maintaining for months. Started to lose again yesterday cos I wanna get shredded like Bruce Lee, new goal. 2. I log daily, since like year and a half now. Cheating, binging or doing good, still logging. 3. I weight myself every month. I think weighting yourself daily is pedantic and is too often to show objective…

Because normally people bodies use carbs for energy. If you go very low carbs it uses fat for energy instead. If you you ate no carbs and no fat you will feel extremely weak and feel sick cos there are no carbs and fat for energy. Your body can take some energy from protein alone but it is not that easy for body to do and…

It's not bad. It's not bad for your weight loss, it's all about calories. And it is not bad for your health either. Only case when you should worry about how much carbs you ate is if you have any health problems what may get worse if you ate a lot of carbs, like diabetes for example. Otherwise carbs will do you no harm.…

This is a pure nonsense sucked out from thin air. You change your workout when the workout you do now not gives you any results anymore. You don't have to change it just for the sake of changing it so you would not get used to it. This is BS. To progress you need to increase weights, or speed, or volume, etc. Because if…

I personally find that when I do steady cardio I lose fat faster than if I would burn same amount of cals doing intervals. I did make sure that both burns same amount of cals according to my heart rate. But there is difference on my body. And even if HIIT is supposed to have that after burn metabolism effect I just find…

There are no exercises that can help tighten your skin. Only things that you can do to minimize loose skin and help it tighten is to lose weight slowly and keep your skin healthy. Keep it elastic and well hydrated. Massage it, drink a lot of water and use creams to keep it hydrated from outside too.

Well you lost 65 lbs which is great. You obviously doing something right. There are many ways how to lose weight. My suggestion would be to stop worry about all those different things you read and just stick to what works for you. The thing about doing it the most optimal way is subjective. I mean what's "the most…

She prolly blocked you mate. Maybe she does not want you to see her dairy cos she cheats too much. Or maybe she does not actually works out when she says so and just lies to you to make herself look better and does not want you to see that. Or maybe she has too much guy friends at her profile, flirting messages with other…

If you ate 1800 and burn 500 then you are in 500 calorie deficit, so you don't have to ate them back otherwise you would be on maintenance and would not lose weight. BUT, if 1800 calories are not your maintenance but already a deficit and your maintenance is lets say 2300 then you are already in 500 cal deficit by eating…

Either that or that is just their cheat day. But yea, it helps to keep metabolism high. Eating those extra cals from carbs does it the best. What I do when I lose fat I don't even go to calorie deficit anymore. I just add a high calorie day a week where I go over my maintenance and the erst of the days I stay on…

Foods high in fat. Avocados, nuts, cheese, etc. When you cook add a lot of oil and fat to anything. For example instead of grilling meat make sure you fry it in good amount of oil. Make sure those carbs you ate are also in a lot of fat, like french fries boiled in oil for example. Make fatty souses to your foods. You don't…

Running will tone your legs. Very slightly tho, you prolly won't notice much difference, if any. It does nothing for upper body muscles. Running also makes you lose fat, by burning calories. So as weight training. Only difference is that weight training also makes you look toned by building muscle. Sof if your goal is to…

Marathon rookie program is designed to increase endurance. There are no HIIT workouts because it does not focuses on speed whatsoever, just distance. Which you said is also your goal, that time does not matter to you just distance. So adding HIIT does not matters either. You can if you want to, it might help you finish a…

Is that some kind of running program or are just running on your own. Cos if you are running on your own then you might add some HIIT. In decent marathon programs all the training you need will be included already. If you are not sure if your training is sufficient go and buy a half marathon program or download one online…

Drugs! Drugs can work too...

There are many methods how to breath "properly" while running. If we are talking about conscious breathing then personally I find that inhaling though mouth and nose, both at the same time, and exhaling both at the same time works the best for me. You might wanna try to exhale only though mouth alone, that's an option too.…

It would not hurt you most likely. You need to learn your body and see. If you are getting tired more easy, losing strength or endurance when working out, having sleep problems, etc then you might be over-training and need to slow down. But if you keep building muscles, getting stronger, being able to do exercises easier,…

You are good woman. Only problem is you think too much. Woman are not supposed to have opinions. Please leave decision whether you should lift or not to your husband. It's his butt after all and he should choose if he wants it shaggy or toned. Now go back and focus on your dishes, woman.

Start small and build up. You try to accomplish too much at once. Eating healthy, tracking calories, waking up early, working out every day, anything more? Maybe not fitness related? Like, I don't know, working on that new project I've been planning to or spending more time with my kids, etc. That all counts in too cos it…

That's some random nonsense. If anything doing it more could speed your metabolism and increase your fat loss. If you are in calorie deficit you lose fat. Only case where more cardio would slow down fat loss would be if it puts you in tremendous, unhealthy big calorie deficit in which case you will slow down your…

You suck it up and get used to it... I remember for first month or so I did wanted to have that tasty food what others eat and was sad that I couldn't. But after that you just don't care anymore. Your brain does not have it so it forgets about it and you don't crave it anymore. It's like that with anything if you don't…

Longest I've been without lifting so far was two weeks and I did not noticed any difference whatsoever in a mirror. I guess you lose tiny amount every day if you don't work out but it is pretty slow.

Elbows on floor, toes on floor and keep your core in straight line. You don't have to suck anything, just keep your spine in straight line and breath as you prefer to.

I noticed pretty big improvements in strength like next week after starting to lift. As about muscle gains it took about two or three months.

These threads are all about spam. I don't even think it's about pictures, it's about getting your post count up and spamming. That's what I think anyways.

1. Try going low carb. Sometimes sugar cravings can be cause by carbs. More you ate more you want, kinda like drugs. This is biological. Also it can be mental cos sometimes if you start it's harder to stop. You might think one tiny candy will make no difference I've been good for many weeks. Then it might snowball in…

So you're basically bulking at winter and cutting at summer? So what? Welcome to the group of 90% of people who lift...

You can use only as much as you can use - there is maximum amount body can use. If you go higher and still see no difference in energy levels, which you are saying that you don't, then I would say your body can't utilize them all for energy, otherwise you would feel it, and there is no point doing this. And that's the…

You don't "need" carbs for energy. It's just that if you ate them then that is exactly where body will take energy first. So on training days it's not "necessary" to have more carbs or even carbs at all, it just depends on what kind of diet you're on. If you consistently ate a lot of carbs then your body will use carbs for…

Was the studies made on people who do exercise or not? Cos some studies has shown that all the sugar caused risks are eliminated or dramatically reduced if you exercise. Also what was eating habits of those people in first place? More likely that person who drinks one sweetened drink in a week will be generally eating more…
