I start the tape measure at the stalk and wrap in around the fattest part at the top :laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile:

When you drink more than 2 alcoholic beverages in a day (Estimated) your body releases an enzyme called acetate which triggers your body to store fat. DO this for consecutive days and the pattern continues. I had a doctor tell me this although my words are not exact quotes. When I told him I was going on vacation he…

Every Label Says: Take along with diet and exercise. Fat Burners are used by bodybuilders to increase the intesity of their workout and the ones I know only use them when they are in the cutting phase. I have taken different types of these "Fat Burners" and all they really do is spike your enrgy level for a short period of…

Funny you are from Hollywood. I graduated from Miramar High. Probably why it is familiar to both of us

I have started a economy conversation and I am sorry but since it started let me vent. I was at Winn-Dixie last night and they were advertising Healthy chioce meals on sale for 3.99 down from 4.39. They are between 2 and 2.50 at Wal Mart. That place is almost like grocery shopping at a 7-11 You know if the 99 cent menu and…

My Grandfather used to sing Beans Beans good for your heart. The more you eat the more you fart. The more you fart the better you feel so eat your beans with everymeal. I am laughing out loud right now thinking of him signing that to us when we were kids

Good Idea then my sub with extra tomatoes will only cost 50 cents :laugh:

Ok I am a fan of Subway but they are killing me lately. The one by my house ran out of lettuce the other day and did not bother to tell me or the person behind me before we ordered. Then the guy had the nerve to mumble something sarcastic under his breath when I walked out and left him stnading there with half made subs.…

Was the prescription called Phentermine or Adipex? It works but you can only take it for 12 weeks before going one month without it. Many people struggle with maintenance once they stop taking it. Are you sure the 800-1000 calories doesnt exclude protein calories. There is a diet plan out there in which you eat 800…

Is there a sugar substitute that qualifies as clean living and is not going to make me grow an extra toe or something. I drink coffe in the morning the only non water/protein shake beverage of the day and i really dont want to use sugar. Also is coffe mate powdered creamer considered Clean?

Mix Real Crab Meat (Lump or Claw) and shredded Spinach. Season Flounder and crab mixture with cajun or any spice you like Lay the Flounder on cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. Spread the Crab Meat and Spinach Mixture ont top of the fillets Roll the Flounder and use tooth picks to hold the rolled fillet together and bake at…

That is in fact the case with all supplements. Weightlifters call it a cycle. Doctors do the same thing with Appetite Suppressants they prescribe like Phentermine and I think they are required too. You want to limit to 120 days and then stop taking it for 30-60 days so your body does not become tolerant to the supplement.…

If eating late at night made people gain weight they would feed starving people all over the world lat at night. Eating late often helps me with those late night cravings

I agree today is all about water. Yesterday was a hectic day and I only drank about 1/2 gallon of water instead of the usual gallon. I did not go to the gym last night (Rest Day) but I got a good nights sleep and I am ready to hit it hard tonight. I am going to the beach for the weekend and I need to get workouts in before…

My Dog Skip. I cry like a 4 year old who just fell off a swing set

Pretzels for a snack are good because they will swell in your stomach giving you a full feeling. Pickels are great too. Eat a spear or two and it will help control your appetite Drink lost of water. Water is an appetite suppressant and we often mistake thirst for hunger. For sweet cravings I have been told to use Tic Tacs.…

Does anyone eat Detour Bars. I often rant about them and how much I enjoy them. This week I have noticed that there are none on the shelves of grocery stores, drug stores, Wal Mart or Sam's. I guess the peanuts in them are part of the recall. I am in the Birmingham, AL area and wondering if anyone else knows about this

protein shake is ideal for an early morning workout. Not too heavy on your stomach and will give you energy

some Possum stew

Change something. Reduce your calorie intake or increase it. You have to keep your body guessing. I will go for 2 weeks at a calorie target and for one week I will increase it by 400 calories. I also change my workout every 6-8 weeks including the days I work certain muscle groups, I change the exercises I do for those…

For Exercise and Weightlifting alone I burn 700 calories per day on average. I do not count calories burned doing normal activity at work or at home. I do count when I wlk the golf course carrying my bag. According to MFP it says I burn 2400 calories in a round of golf. I wish I could play every day

Use Grated Parmesan Cheese (the stuff in the bottle) in place of bread crumbs or flour. Either bake or cook in a skillet. If you have ever had the Parmesan crusted Tilapia at Olive Garden you will appreciate this. My favorite is to stuff a breast with spinach and Riccota made from skim. I marinate chicken in lo-cal italian…

dipped it in

I read the other day that for muscular and large frame men that your Waist to height ratio is another way to make sure that you are in line whit your BMI. The example was given that if a man if 6ft tall then his waist should be 36" or less. Not sure if this is a valid point but it was on a total weight loss plan survey at…

Warming up will prevent injury while you lift. You don't have to do it with cardio. You can use dynamic stretching. This semester I'm doing some research on the negative effects of static stretching on strength, so I don't recommend static stretching, and especially not without some rhythmic movement beforehand. The…

I do do 10 minutes of warm up usually on the eliptical to get body temp up but then I do 30 minutes after lifting.

Click Click Boom by Saliva always pumps me up a little bit more

I see many people at the gym doing cardio first and weight training second. I often question this method because of what I have been taught or read. Many things I have read recently support the cardio last workout because it is believed that it increases fat burning. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions about this
