  • every now and then eat a a little more. Two work outs a day can freak your body out! Over training can have some negative effects. Weights are the best thing, but need good repair time, and good repair foods. Remember its 80% nutrition and only 20% exercise.
  • some times it just doesn't matter what you do... because its only 20% exercise, and 80% diet. lol. I would do it all just so your body won't adapt. You can also do crossfit style things anywhere. I take clients to a local school play ground and use their rings and stairs for a boot camp/ crossfit experience. The bonus is…
  • Definitely skip on juices (fiber and nutrients are in the pulp, not the juice), and any sort of drink that replaces actual food. Regardless if its packed full of the good stuff. So is a bag of Brussels sprouts. The key thing about drinking your calories is that you are missing on chewing! Its a physiological thing about us…
  • eating 1200 calories is dangerous. MFP calculations are quite off. Many people can't live below their BMR. You're starving your organs, your brain! Here’s how it goes: your body needs a certain amount of calories to work. This is known as your Basal Metabolic Rate. This differs from person to person based on how active you…

  • I always keep in mind, that I round food calories up, and take off 25% of my HRM calories just to cover ... it's science, but not an exact science. I just keep an eye on macros keep them with in range. I come out on top with an extra on my deficit. :-)
  • And a reminder to all who weight too much: - The human body can fluctuate 3-7 pounds on a daily basis. -Muscle weighs more than fat. -Women, we got lady things that affect us. - Measurements are best to track. - If you weigh do in the morning, naked after your loo break (we are the lightest and tallest when we wake in the…
  • Also just tracking calories won't work. Your macros could be It will off. It will take an average of 4 weeks to see results.
  • Yes this! This where i was going to go. 1200 isn't enough to keep you body functioning in a coma! I wish MFP didn't do that crap. Its like the school that sent a note home with a 9 year old with a note saying she was over weight at 66 pounds. Because they used BMI!!! I only use MFP to track macros now. And still they wont…
  • Carb cycling is good. AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT GOING UNDER CALORIE GOAL.. A lot of plans out there have people way below their BMR. (Ignore BMI that standard tells body builders they're fat because of muscle weighs more than fat). ALWAYS be cautious of your BMR and know your TDEE! People think you have to go by that 1200 cal…
  • THIS!!! I lift big and heavy and box, but I don't look bulked. But I am very strong, and I do like to carry one kid in one arm and really heavy things in the other arm through the super market... Awwww ripped! Hee hee... its a great feeling being checked out. Like some one else said it doesnt over night, stop when you feel…
  • This is how to do the math. This is not a one stop plug in your stats. Its true science. Have paper and a calculator. Doing it this way really makes you put thought and effort into it. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=121703981
  • HA HA HA HA HA!!!! OMG I lift, and love it! It burns calories long after you've left the gym. It's Cardio that makes you FAT!!!! (Mainly for women after 20 minutes of steady paced cardio) http://athlete.io/5343/why-women-should-not-run/
  • To calculate the amount of calories you burn while doing squats without additional weights, multiply your weight by .096. Take the answer and multiply it by the amount of minutes you perform the exercise. For instance, if you weigh 160 lbs. and you take 15 minutes to complete your squats, you will burn approximately 230…
  • First look up healthy weight calculators. With proper BMI's to give you a better idea of goals. For you I would suggest weight training, and HIIT intervals. Weight training will give you a great after burn and also you will receive benefits of definition and better strength. HIIT training is hard, but its over fast! It…
  • Moderate cardio at the same intensity (for women) is bad. Steady-state activities like this devastate the female metabolism. This happens with men, too, but in different ways.The best thing to do is High Intensity Intervals. At a moderate pace you will not loose fat. If anything just stay soft. The science: Studies—both…
  • She get is! And of course pounds are coming off slower, you're adding awesome lean body mass!
  • It's sad that this isn't already common knowledge. Hitting cardio like a hamster in a treadmill for over 20 minutes is useless. Humans weren't designed to do endurance. But benefit from HIIT training. I hit up all the big lifts, and then do some HIIT on the mill. Women just can't get bulky due to low testosterone. Thats…
  • Man those kiddo left overs, or testing when cooking. I have learned to give it straight to the dogs! Poor dogs, I am going to have some fat chihuahuas! THE MOST POWERFUL WORDS YOU CAN USE IN ARE : "I DON'T EAT THAT." Say it out loud. I have so turned myself off certain foods my doing that. And also going Paleo! Better than…
