Anytime. Keep the drive alive. Focus on the path and stick to it.

Any protein powder you look for should be low in sugar, carbs, and fats. Depending upon your goals; of course. A good whey or casein powder should have around 120 calories per scoop with 24-25 grams of protein, and low fat and carbs(like 2-5 grams)

The mind is your best friend and your worst enemy. You must first train the mind to be positive on a consistent basis, even when a day like this occurs. Know where your going; where this program is going to take you. Do everything you can today to be a better stronger person tomorrow.

Depends if your caloric goal is set to maintenance or to lose weight. If its set to lose weight then eat them back but stay slightly under your goal. I personally dont add any exercise calories in because someone cannot determine how many calories a single individual burns. Everyones amount is different based upon weight,…

Your right; cardio doesnt burn muscle directly. But doing cardio for an extended period of time will burn an extreme amount of calories; leaving you in a severe caloric deficit for the day; AKA "starving the body" and preventing the body from rebuilding any muscle tissue at all. My process was to scare people away from the…

My advice is this: do your cardio; but you shouldnt spend ALL your time doing it. The only benefit cardio has is improving your heart and blood flow. And heres the thing; you only burn calories during the workout; and if you do cardio too long your body will use MUSCLE as an energy source. Whats muscle do? Burns fat ALL…

Your dietitian is crazy for tellign you to eat that much. Your body at rest; if you were to WAKE UP and BE IN BED ALL DAY would burn at least 1000 calories. It NEEDS that to pump blood throughout all your organs, to reproduce hormone, skin follicles, hair, nails, etc. Start eating more clean food, still exercise and do…

I really am a trainer tho who has 300 clients under me ALL losing weight.....Island Gym in EHT, NJ.

If you were my client id rather you have too much protein than not enough.

You do way too much cardio. Trim it down. And you need to lift more weights; not machines. Try kettlebells or some freeweights and cables. Research it, and apply it. The problem with machines is that its not intense enough; you sit down to do an exercise.... The key is to engage as much muscles as possible, for someone…

It all comes down to personal preference. In the end; protein is protein. The body doesnt recognize whether its Myofusion, Dymatize, MuscleMilk, etc. It recognizes the nutritional value of proteins, carbs , and fats.

Go back to dieting. You took the week off of dieting; which is needed because dieting for a prolonged amount of time can slow your metabolism. Taking a week to bring calories back up to maintenance can save your metabolism.

You do both. Seriously. There isnt one program to see results. The body is alwys trying to reach homeostasis, it doesnt like change or adaptation. But, if we want to see the best results possible; we HAVE to make it adapt. The metabolic benefits are great, the results are great. Its muscle confusion; why such programs like…

Thanks bro; will do. Easiest way to know if your in a deficit with MFP is to set your caloric goal at maintenance level(lose 0 lbs per week) and make sure theyre under it for that day.

Are you kidding me? First thing you need to do is fire your trainer; serious. Anyone who says to limit exercise is an absolute joke. Do athletes limit their practice? Or do they do as much as they possibly can to be the greatest at their craft? Theres so much bull**** going around on "how to lose this" "do this" "dont do…

Whats your program look like? Water weight can be a huge factor here. The key to losing weight is to always be consistent with your efforts; day in and day out. And the scale will eventually go down whether its a week for few weeks.

Id have to know what your currently doing in order to lose the weight you want to lose; than I can offer additional tactics for weight to come off. Thanks.

You cannot spot reduce fat. Fat is dispersed everywhere throughout your body; so your body will decide where it comes from. Simple formula to remember is calories in vs. calories out. Find your maintenance calories; subtract 500 from that number, and hit that every single day.

If your goal is to lose weight/fat; then do not eat the calories back. If it were me; id set my calories on pace to lose a pound a week, than add in the cardio you do now. Or; dont do any cardio. Serious; if your already in a caloric deficit you do not need to be in any more of a deficit from cardio; if you do your body…

What ZyLahe said; the plank. Im a certified personal trainer. Crunches arent very effective at building a nice abdominal core. Things that involve the deep inner core"Transverses abdominal) muscle are. These things include planks and stomach vacuums. Also things like ab wheels, and putting your hands on a upside down boso…
