Thank you for your post. As you probably know, people are very passionate about their "diets" moderation and exercise just isn't for everyone:)

Awesome advice! I am gonna check out Isagenix. I currently use Pure protein, but I think I could do better. Not really as a meal replacement, more of a way to include more protein in my diet. I am a vegetarian and I am trying a 50% carb, 20% fat and 30% protein diet. I lift heavy, working out 6 days a week and I need a…

My husband is a professional brewer and home brewed before that. I only indulge once a week and allow for the extra calories. This seems to help because nothing will make you gain faster then beer. Just remember that moderation is key........Good luck with the brewing! Cheers.

I quit 4 years ago and It took me about a year to get to normal.......that being said it was the best decision I ever made. Keep it up and remember the long term reward is worth a few lbs now.

NO CAFFEINE!! That is very sad.........I am highly addicted to coffee:noway:

yep, actually i am on a vodka soda cleanse! I am so skinny!

Holy cow! Don't talk crap about diet soda! People are dead serious...........proof that it is highly addictive and clearly makes you more aggressive.:laugh:

Here is a quote from a study "During the first six to twenty-four hours of avoiding food, your body will use stored sugar called glycogen (gl-eye-co-gin). This fuel does not last forever, and once it is gone the body will spend the next two to ten days using amino acids from your muscle tissue as well as fat to make more…

[/quote] Ugh, please stop with the myths, you're losing all your credibility. Eating 6 times a day makes no difference. Fasting makes no difference, as long as you get your total calories in for the day. It takes almost 4 days of complete fasting to have any negative metabolic effects. Fasting for 18-24 hours does not have…

Not to mention the fact that I was only trying to help someone, maybe if you would eat something you wouldn't be so cranky:happy:

Your right,starving yourself and not taking into account energy level, or food cravings or the fact that people might want to be healthy and not so skinny they almost die. You should really rewrite the nasm, and issa certification texts. If I am not credible then neither are they.

Ha,ha! Stay motivated, and you will do great. Eat healthy and exercise,it always works, it will work for you:smile: You got this!

I don't think that anyone is suggesting that someone eat over their calorie goals to lose weight. All I am saying is that our needs today are very different from cavemen that had to hunt and gather, no TV, no McDonalds............If someones goal is to become as thin as possible despite health or longevity of weight loss…

Preach it! :laugh: Not to mention not eating for days sounds horrible!

preach it!:laugh: not to mention not eating for days sounds horrible!

No, cavemen did not eat every three hours, that is why our bodies know just what to to do when we are starving. That is slow down! People would get to the ripe old age of 30 and die. You can not compare our life style to a caveman. People did not live long enough to go through menopause or live in a world full of crappy…

A lot of times when people say eat more, what they are really saying is eat more often. If I eat every 2 hours, I can still keep my cals low and fire up my metabolism eating high protein,healthy carbs and low healthy fat. When you are young, you gain a few lbs and you eat less and lose the weight. Over time your metabolism…

Start eating more often. Every two hours you should eat something. Also up your protein for the day. Make sure your sugar and sodium are low. If you are lifting weights you should be consuming at least 100grams of protein a day..........that being said your calories look good, but eating more protein and eating often will…

It is basic math. You want a 3,500 cal def each week. There are 3,500 cals in a lb of fat. You will lose a lb a week. That includes excercise cals. If you want to build muscle then you should zig-zag calories eating more on hard workout days and less on easy days. So if you burn 1900 cals a day with exercise then you…
