People who are fat are not lazy. However they can get tired because their fat cells do not want to give up the goods due to the hyperinsulinemia caused by insulin resistance. Elevated insulin levels in your bloodstream make you store fat and not give it up. Carbohydrates drive insulin, insulin drives fat storage. Cut the…

Drink when you're thirsty and no more! Or go ketogenic... THAT will make you want to drink water.

I did TF for a while, but now I just do the 15-minute HIIT workout once or twice per week. I have turned away from "chronic cardio" and move more slowly and more often now but definitely enjoy a short intense burst of TF once in a while. I remember some of the moves in the longer workouts were pretty fun and more like…

Read The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson... Or go to www.marksdailyapple.com. Go Primal!! :bigsmile:

I am doing ketogenic, and this was my lunch today: avocado - so good 2 Atkins Endulge peanut butter cups - SO good 20 macadamia nuts - SO GOOD Mostly fat, satisfying, and extremely tasty. Came in at 610 calories. My goal is under 1200 per day, and I plan on eating a lighter dinner. I am taking a "day off" from protein…

Just get a $100 dollar one if you want to spend less. It will TRANSFORM YOUR WORKOUT!! Do it. I love my HRM.

I'm jealous of you people who say you are not hungry. I am hungry every minute of every day. I never eat my calories back, though. But I feel the same way... How the heck are you supposed to lose any weight when your BMR is 1200 and your calorie goal is 1200? I never count my exercise calories. It is cool to wear a HRM,…

Yes, I guess this is something to ponder... My weight, and 1200 calories, sound like BIG numbers to me now. A guy once told me he liked girls "eating disorder thin." Not saying I want to look like a skeleton. I just want to be able to get back into a size 0. Why is Angelina Jolie held up as a queen of Hollywood? SHE looks…

I feel ya, sister. Fighting that hunger battle myself and actually have my own thread going. I've been told to get in an eating routine so your body knows to expect food at specific times. Helps a little. Still hungry all the time but maybe less-so. Maybe you could rethink your hunger, too... If you are hungry it probably…

Rats, I was hoping that was not the case. But you're probably right! It is so hard for me to see things any other way. I guess I am a little close-minded and stubborn about this stuff. I have become obsessed! I want to accomplish in 3 weeks what should probably take me 3 months to accomplish! How do you have patience for…

I have the SAME EXACT issue! I play in a band, and we get tons of gigs in bars. There is no end in sight. As soon as I walk into the club, everyone around me is drinking. There are advertisements for alcohol everywhere, and some people even shower the band with free drinks! I always feel like I look "weird" when I am the…

Yes, I think that makes sense because Sunday I was probably the hungriest. For some strange reason my boyfriend got out of bed at like 5:30 a.m. and realized he had left a pack of frozen bacon out all night. So he cooked it. Therefore I awoke at about 6:00 to the smell of bacon. We went ahead and had breakfast at like…

Yes, I don't often eat breakfast any more... I think this is because morning is when I am the least hungry. My hunger increases throughout the day. It is probably the highest right before dinner. I am so afraid to eat and feel so guilty about eating that I only eat when I'm the MOST hungry. If there is any time during the…

Yeah I definitely do my best to avoid bad carbs and sugar. Sometimes I get this crazy craving for ice cream and try to trick myself by eating sugar-free Jell-O and sugar-free candy. Otherwise I eat vegetables, salads, meat... I don't do Atkins any more but try avoiding bad carbs. But the biggest influencer of my diet is…

Ok makes sense... But it seems like I have a tougher time when I eat breakfast because I feel like it actually makes me hungrier during the day. Maybe this is because I eat a smaller lunch or no lunch to make up for the calories consumed at breakfast. I think you're right about having my calorie goal set too low and my…

I take that back... It seems at my current weight I actually burn 400 - 500 calories in a workout. Not bad. It's easiest for me to fill up on coffee and Diet Mountain Dew in the morning to tide me over until lunch (no breakfast). Then I do whatever < 400 calorie lunch I can manage. This is so I can save my calories for…

Gross.
