No / low fat dairy and eggs / egg whites. These are about your only options what has high protein and low calories, apart from meat. That or protein powders. Personally I ate 900 - 1500 cals worth of beans sometimes. Also a lot of nuts and other high calorie vegan foods. But my total calorie goal is more that half as high…

For my abs I do, three days a week, side planks, leg rises, sit ups, ab twists and elbow to knee crunches. I do each exercise for around 30 reps without any rest between, and three sets in total. Takes like 10 min. On days I don't do those I do two to three sets of hanging leg rises, not going as hard as in other workout…

Bumpty bum for more friednds! :D

No. Egg cravings does not mean you are not getting enough protein and not having sugar craving does not mean you ate too much sugar. Some times food cravings can happen cos you do not get enough vitamins. But usually you will crave something completely different than you actually need. Because your system does not know…

Bump!

There is no such thing as "starvation mode". That being said, if you ate very little for long periods of time you will slow your metabolism. But to do it by any significant amount that would be noticeable you would need to ate very little for long periods of time. A few days or even a week of starving completely, at zero…

So you have "oil teeth", huh? Is it just for olive oil or all oils? I Imagine it's not for all oils since all oils don't taste the same. So even if there would be one that is low in calories you might still not like it cos it would not be olive oil. How about trying to add less oil and mixing up some olives in instead to…

5 tablespoons of oil in one bowl of pasta? Must be a big bowl then. It's unnecessary to use so much to get desired taste. Maybe try to add less? No fat mayo might work with pasta. Tomato souse as well. Low fat cheese goes good with pasta too. If you are looking for ways how to cook food without adding fat the only options…

Treadmill is just as good as ground. Where you run is your preference. Don't overthink things. Just go and move, do something, that's how you start. If you are really out of shape don't just jump in running straight from the start. Start with fast walking. Then if you feel it's too easy go and switch, or mix, it with…

Oh! An auto correct! If I would not have it I would loose myself in a confusion of English! God bless auto correct!

I still have some lose skin hanging and while I cut it off bit by bit I like to read forums at MFP. But this text is too long. I am loosing all the interest to read this. OP, your very very long writer.

30% of fat, meaning 30% of your total calories should come from fat. 30% of 1500 is 450. So 450 of your calories should come from fat. 1 gram of fat contains 9 calories. So you should ate 50 grams of fat a day. How much fat you ate has nothing to do with how much body fat you carry, you ate too much calories if you are…

Jumping jacks, running in place, twerking, jump rope, burpees, etc. Anything what makes you move a lot and makes your heart beat fast really.

Try to increase cals by some more for couple weeks and then see will you still maintain or gain. Our maintenance isn't really an exact specific number. Maybe you will be able to maintain on more calories as well. Increase your cals slowly, by 100 - 200 every week. If you gain a couple pounds after those few weeks you can…

It has no benefits. It's a food in a bottle. Good if you are hungry and don't have time to ate normal meal, then take a meal replacement, sure. Better that than staying hungry, frustrated or weak for rest of a day cos you did not ate anything. Other than that it is completely useless and a waste of money. You will also get…

I'm kinda a vegan. I do ate eggs tho... add me, if I'm good enough for you. :(

I just count calories. And I ate clean foods. I used to just count calories and ate crap but I decided that I care also about my health, not just weight loss, so I switched to clean foods only 95% of time now. I have tried low carb. And I like it. Low carb high fat diet keeps me full better. But I lose all the energy on…

Feeling better. Looking better. And yea, I suppose I got a superhero thing going too haha. I don't have anybody to be hero for tho. But it feels good to know that you are physically capable of doing things that average guy who works out just for looks not performance can't. And I wonder how far I can go and I am actually…

Calories. I counted them and that's how I lost weight. You ate more than you can burn you gain weight, you ate less than you burn you lose weight and if you ate just as much as you burn you stay the same weight. So figure out your maintenance cals and ate below them. Whatever diets are out there for fat loss in the end of…

2500 a day plus exercises calories, so it's above 3000 usually. 2800 is my maintenance so I am in 300 cal deficit so far. At first when I started this thing I did use different calculators and stuff, and I ate around 1700. Then I went back to maintenance which was about 2200, when I felt good with weight I had lost. And…

Current goal is to run 10k under 45 min. Maybe around 32 min eventually. I have no interest in half or full marathons tho. Too boring. Maybe I will sign up for 10k mud run this year, will see.

Not a New Year's resolutions, but to learn a French is on this year's to do list.

If you don't want to lose weight count calories you ate and how much calories you burn and ate at maintenance. You can do as much Zumba as you want and if you do not go in calorie deficit you will never lose weight. Zumba is not the best way to build muscle, and by "not the best way" I mean it's awful for building muscle.…

I train legs three times a week, not only one day, so I have three leg days. I'm on 5x5 program. I also do not train to failure. Like that I can recover faster and not have DOMS like if I would work harder but only one week a day. Have you considered doing legs more often with less work in your workouts rather than hitting…

I don't know about sugar addiction, cos that's a serious thing, but I definitely had a major sweet tooth. The thing about addictions is that you can not just stop. The best how to stop is slowly. Decrease your sugar intake every week by less and less until eventually none. This is what I did for me. Detox my body and mind…

3. Run without a watch. Overtraining... 5. Run with a dog. That won't work, gotta run AFTER it. Otherwise I will lose that *****. 12. Run your favorite route in reverse In reverse? You mean run backwards? No ty, I don't wanna brake a leg again. 1. Stay injury free. Sounds easy! Lalala... oh crap, I broke a leg. Oh, it…

True. But there are standards in military. And right now some guys who pass the tests are training only just as much as necessary to pass the standards. Some are training 10 times as hard and above the requirements because they wanna be as good as they can. So there will always be weakest links. Just like in every chain,…

In sports it's about competition. And man has all the advantage over women, genetically, when it comes to strength, speed, endurance, etc and that's a fact. There is huge difference. Go and look up world records in different sports and you will clearly see that performance for women are lower. That's why it is divided in…

Nope. I don't have anybody close to have a midnight kiss from. And I didn't felt like going to some stupid night club or anything to celebrate with bunch of random people, I don't like those places. This is exactly what my "friends" did, or made a party on their won. So I just went to sleep at 11pm without celebrating. […
