Congrats for resetting things to make them work. Good luck! Feel free to connect.

Congratulations for taking the first step towards health and wellness!! You are welcome to connect. Best.

Firstly, SOY is plant product, carrying numerous health benefits including those for your heart. It does have estrogen component to it, which is ok for women and in most cases OK for grown men. Not so OK for male kids that are going through their developmental cycle. For grown adults, it has net benefits and net risks.…

Wow! Absolutely amazing! Congratulations! All the best for your next goal.

You are welcome to connect. I am a dad of two as well. Thanks.

egg beaters, whey isolate at wal-mart & zero carb Isopure.

I incorporated planks into my workout tonight. I reviewed a short video online on how its done. At first, I couldn't see the logic of it affecting the abdomen all that much. But, when I was doing it, I did feel the pressure. I couldn't just keep doing it. There was a limit after which, I felt the burn and had to rest on my…

Thanks.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected. I am making significant progress with my plan losing fat and gaining muscle, just wondered if I could do more to further shrink the belly. But, there is only so much that is possible and I think I am on track with my calorie deficit. Thanks for sharing some of the additional…

...meant pull, push and kick muscles..thanks.

These are excellent exercises. The only follow up I have is whether its too much to do each day, considering my weekly weight training routines that rotate between pull muscles, pull muscles and kick muscles. Any issues with over training by doing as many reps each day. Just wondered. Thank you.

Thanks for confirming..on track with doing so currently. I must give it some more time. Thanks again.

Once you have reached your ideal weight, if that was even your goal, I think to maintain status quo 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weight training 5 days a week is good enough. If your goals change to gain more muscle or lose more fat etc.,you have to adjust accordingly. Most studies essentially elude to this…

The best and most individually accurate number is through wearing a heart rate monitor. Its a great investment as it not only tells you what you burn, but also the heart rate zones in which you are working, indicating if you are working too hard to burn fat, if that's your goal. General answers are too vague and usually…

Lack of stretching and/or over working out muscles are likely to be cause of what you experienced. Its best to fully recover first. When re-starting, make sure you stretch the muscle you will be working on a given day before and after working out. Also, take your time, about 5 minutes on an elliptical to warm up before…

For workouts not performed on machines that measure your calorie burn, the best way is to wear a heart rate monitor, such as those from Polar, that will provide you with an accurate fat and total calorie burn, in addition to highlighting the heart rate zones working in which would burn fat vs. carbs. Otherwise, its a wild…

I think you hit on something I suspected. The chicken lettuce wrap I had is usually loaded with soy sauce which is very heavy with sodium. Given Sodium's tendency to retain water, I had them bring the chicken without this soy sauce, but may be there was still some in the rice crispies that come with it. I think this is…

No alcohol at all. I use a weigh scale showing body fat and muscle percentage. I noticed a reduced reduction the next morning after extensive workouts and balanced food after I eat out. So, I wondered. Thanks.

I am 41 and am in relentless pursuit of my goals. You can do it as well!! If interested, feel feel to connect. There a many very nice, encouraging and helpful people around. Thanks...good luck!

You just need a plan and the will to stick to it. Simply put, you can eat what ever you like, if you follow a few simple rules, victory shall be yours in improved health and fitness: 1) limit carbs to 45 gms for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Include about 20 gms of protien and ensure that you eat 15-20 carbs in a snack 2-3…

Feel free to connect. Indian food is part of my daily meals.

Suggesting to minimize fat and maximize muscle within medically acceptable ranges only limited to our ability and preferences. No doubt, having more muscle than fat is extremely beneficial including improvements in metabolic rate, more energy and strength and an improved overall body performance. Regarding scales, the body…

Is there anything that you can't Google in this day and age? This was restarted as it was being incorrectly referenced in recent conversations amongst a few. That's where this platform helps as it help clarify things for those that might need clarification. Thanks for your post.

Hi...if you are not weight training and exercising moderately, around 0.5 gram of protein per pound of body weight should be sufficient in women. If you take too much of it, you do risk damaging your kidneys. It is recommended to make protein part of every meal of yours. Spreading out its consumption will allow it to be…

Hi! congratulations on your success so far!! Keep up with it and you will be there before you know it. I especially commend your attitude. I share the same sentiment, refusing to not be fit, thus, in pursuit of reclaiming the point in time I was rather fit. You have the right attitude....you will do great!! Enjoy!

Thank you! Yes, I work out 7 days a week with a disciplined approach around my food plan. Your food intake is the greatest source of losing pounds. If you gradually reduce the food intake to 40-45 carbs a meal, minimal fats, and take small snacks 2-3 hours between your major meals, you would start seeing a difference.…

Congratulations for your success so far!! I am just about where you are in the process trying to get rid of the last few stubborn few pounds. I think the key at this stage of the process for continued success is to constantly challenge your body with some variations in your cardio routine. I use the arc trainer (in case…

Thanks! Its been 2 months of solid disciplined eating, exercising and learning to say NO to food temptations. You feeling fit is part of the accomplishment. Keep up the routine...weight loss will follow. Thanks

Hi..Welcome aboard! I am 41 and also had gained the most pounds ever when we had our second child and life got busy. Now that they are a bit older, I have been passionately in pursuit of reclaiming my health. I am aiming to lose 52 pounds, of which I have already lost 30, so 22 more to go and I am hoping to do so by end of…
