yarly, u mad?

That is something I would like to see ;) Seriously though, I've dated athletic girls and saw the scales. Then again pictures only tell one side of the story.

Look let's be real here. All this talk on here about having the scale stay the same is complete bull****. This is called body recomposition (losing body fat and building muscle at the same time) and of course it is real, but it is painfully slow. If you are in a modest calorie deficit you should be losing weight, period,…

If those images are not edited then 183lb at 5"11? That is absolutely laughable because you are certainly mistaken. EDIT: You look fantastic though. Jus' sayin' there's no way you weigh that much

No one who knows what they're talking about calls it IIFYM; they refer to it by its original term "flexible dieting" It's not about how many pop tarts you can fit into your diet, it's about macros, fibre, micronutrients, phytonutrients, water intake -- all important. You find that anyone following these things will tend to…

It would be fantastic for gays. Homosexual marriage would be legalised immediately and there would be ALL KINDDZZZ of surrogate gay dudes bopping around the place. It would be terrible for women because a big part of their value would now be spread about. Similarly, if women could inseminate eachother it would be totally…

If you keep doing the right stuff then results will come. As others are alluding to, it may be "female" related -- this is a legitimate concern. Hormone fluctuations significantly affect the body. You just have to trust the process. I weigh myself most days and average the result to get a weekly result. Then I compare that…

Runners are either A) people who enjoy the almost meditative state induced by endurance exercise; or B) people who already hate their body enough to subject it to thousands of repetitions of high-impact activity, so clearly they hate everyone else too ;)

A bowl of frozen vegetables with some herbs, pepper and hot sauce (basically 0 calories) sorts me out and costs almost nothing.

Pounds and oz are silly but stones.. Come on that's just sad UK brahs

Humans are inherently prone to dogmatic thinking. If we weren't able to form strong belief systems we would never have survived as a species and the only reason why weak-willed people can survive currently is because of our modern society. No hate, it doesn't make anyone a bad person. "Everyone has their vice." There is no…

There are no legitimate health reasons for consuming diet sodas, except for the teeth issue which actually is a serious concern when you drink it like water as many dieters do -- this is a function of the carbonation however and any fizzy drink will have a negative effect on your teeth in the long run. That said I drink it…

You have a great physique and have clearly worked hard on it. Don't forget to thank your parents because those genetics are above average :)

Calories are most important to lose weight at all. Next comes protein to maintain muscle mass. Next is fat to maintain hormone production and other important bodily functions. Carbs come last. They are important for sustaining maximal performance in the gym (except for a few rare individuals allegedly). However you find…

I feel it for other reasons. It's uncomfortable to be finding yourself becoming the target of attention (people being attracted to you) when it hasn't been familiar for so long. I can never hate on celebrities who go crazy from the constant exposure.

You haven't lost weight in 7 months? That's not a plateau, that's just taking in maintenance calories. If you want to lose weight you need to A) take in less calories and B) increase your activity level. You don't need a biometric scan, you just need the basics. How about reducing your daily intake by 100 calories and…

If you're a guy I semi-jokingly suggest you have your T levels checked

Foam rolling (and other forms of self-myofascial release) is one of the best things you can do for your overall quality of life

I've tried both and at the moment since my schedule is fairly flexible I much prefer the "as you go" approach. But for days when I'm going to be out and about I definitely have to plan ahead though. Generally it's good to have an idea of what's going on though. Like you might have a certain target for breakfast, lunch,…

You know, I'm not American but a cursory glance of the USDA guidelines has led me to believe they're not that bad. There's some pretty good information there. The problem is that it's so moderate and balanced that it would never sell. Therefore, even though it's free, no one will accept it.…

I'm all for food extremism for the sake of knowing you can. But travel to Las Vegas, spend 24+ hours lying in bed too bloated to move... Or worse? Nah :D

In which school are you recognised as a Sifu? just wondering

Damn, now that is a good quality web bot. You guys got what you paid for.

Weight loss pills epitomise everything I hate about the "fitness" industry. It is nonsense. The real stuff that works is now illegal in most countries so anything you can legally buy is basically bull****. EDIT: I know people that have done Ephedrine recreationally... It's harder to get, more expensive and has less of an…

I saw it... I saw... :P

The olympic lifter who storms outside and smokes when he misses a couple lifts in a row. Comes back in and nails it.

The original Tabata protocol is difficult to apply to normal people because it calls for literally 100% effort during the "on" parts. Usually non-athletes simply cannot push themselves hard enough to reach the results that the original experiments showed. Your body has inbuilt mechanisms which prevent you from applying the…

I'm going to have to agree. I wish I could be a fly on the wall and watch some of you people because there is simply no way you are consuming this small amount of energy and not experiencing serious health concerns. This is what is referred to as a "very low-calorie diet" (VLCD) and is administered by physicians to…

Eat mostly (80%?) unprocessed, whole foods and enjoy your cake/chocolate/cheese/wine/sacrifice to the Gods as you please. It's only ever been about a sustainable caloric deficit ;) Key word there being sustainable.

I feel like this thread should just be renamed to cut out the middle man.. Cheese freaks anonymous
