P.S. I totally forgot to add that water is a huge part.of my defense as well. I get a minimum of a gallon in a day. It helps to flush the purines out as well!

Hi, I am only 30 but have had gout for a few years. It took some trial and error to figure it out for me, as there really isn't any kind of specific diet that works universally. I don't know what all you know regarding it, but I'll say one of the most important things will be what's in your food that's almost just as…

I'm in the same boat. Back after a long absence. Had a son, it ultimately uprooted my whole fitness lifestyle and I let myself lose all my progress in the process. So here I am back at square one. Looking to liven up my mfp friend list a bit. I can't seem to figure out how to add people on the new layout as it's changed…

You've had a solid approach to your loss. I've been down the same path with junk food, fast food, etc. It's not easy at first but when you continue to phase that stuff out, it gets much easier and it even gets to the point where if you try it, it won't even taste good. Mostly when it comes to the drinks. A big thing that…

Feel free to add me. I've been in and off with mfp as well, but I've been back a bit and back to my old ways. So I'm looking to have a little more friend activty on mfp.

Been a long time mfp user, but looking to ramp up my activity on here. Having had a lot of success...and failure, ive finally got a long term plan and hoping to be of help and possible inspiration to anyone trying to get *kitten* done. Anyone can add me!

Ive dropped about 100 pounds. Haven't done it perfectly, but im getting it done. It know all the excuses (been there, done that) and I know what it takes to make it happen and get results. I'd be happy to add and help anyone out who needs a advice or a push. Just remember nobody can do it besides YOU. All the support on…

I'd be glad to try and help. Feel free to add me and ask any questions you may have. I know how hard it is, but finally managed to make consistent success and it isn't hard if you have the right plan. You can do this!

I just finished the Lean Body program. It was fun and I made some good progress on it. Also feel free to add me if you're looking for some extra encouragement and friends

I aim for my lean body mass, which comes to around 190 g's. I dont always hit it daily because im on a strict food budget at the moment, but I always try to come close.

Never mind having a few new friends around. Always looking to help and support those who need it. Feel free to add me. That goes for any and all.

Ive just about eclipsed the 100 pound lost mark. Here to offer my friendship to those who need support or guidance. Feel free to add me

25 here and got a little over 50 to drop. 80+ down so far. Although im bodybuilding, so my focus is on body fat more so than weight itself. Anyways, always looking to make friends. Looking to support and inspire any and all that I can.

Feel free to give me an add (goes for anybody). Although I have great friends, my activity feed on mfp isn't entirely too active at times, so Im always looking to add extra friends and expand the support circle. The more the merrier!

Im always looking for more friends. It gives me more of a reason to be active on mfp.

Feel free to add me. Goes for the original poster or anyone for that matter. Always up to make friends and lend out advice and support.

Sounds like something that could be fun. Never did it before. I take a very slow approach to weight loss. I weigh in monthly and 99% of my exercise is weight lifting. I came out to about 6lbs lost over the last month. So not sure my very slow and steady method would go over well for the basis of the challenge, but if it…

This is just a general statement and nothing specific, but the most effective way would be to not try to rush it. I get there is only a short time left and you want to look great for that day. My advice would be not to focus on the actual weight. In my opinion, tracking your weight is one of the least productive ways of…

Definitely looking for some active friends. I get too many folks who add me and then just vanish. If you're serious about your exercise and aren't going to give up at the first tough obstacle and also looking to get support, feel free to add me. Any and all are welcome.

Sounds to me like maybe the article is sort of having a play on words for the sake of sounding controversial and getting attention. Maybe going off the ploy that all cardio burns muscle and will only leave fat.

What is the reason for not doing them every work out? Will they become ineffective? That's because you'll be hitting that same area and not allowing proper time for recovery. If you need to practice the form itself, go with an empty barbell bar or a broom stick. When you do your deadlifts as part of your actual routine,…

a little too tough for you to click the link? Irony star awarded to you, breh

Gold star for your effort.

I know this feeling oh so well. That is NOT enough pasta, but it's certainly enough carbs for that little lol. That's why I usually just throw everything I can in it lol. Like chicken, turkey, broccoli, peas, pepperings, whatever I have sitting around lol.

I've been to lowest lows and gave up on life at one point. Having a supportive group of good people on here helped get me out of a lot of holes, and now im off doing better than I ever have. If you or anyone else are in it for the long haul and are taking your approach to fitness seriously, feel free to add me!

Cravings were only much of an issue when i first started (again). That's usually when they are their worst I think. As someone who used junk food for comfort on a daily basis for years, i've now gone over 3 months and have not had any craving issues nor have I given in and let cravings ruin any more of my hard work in the…

Although im not a woman, I think there are a few general things that goes for both genders. You won't put on much muscle mass unless you're eating the right macros and also at calorie surplus. Also heavy is kind of a subjective term because it's different with everyone. To me, Heavy lifting classifies as the most weight…

This is why I buy a good bit of meat (Chicken Breast, Turkey, etc.) and eggs. I am on high protein/high fat/low carb centered eating . These foods are staples for those looking to limit their carbs or maintain/gain muscle as well. Don't discount all carbs though. There are good and bad carbs. The kind you get from veggies…

I do. High Protein/High Fat/Low Carb. I get around 225-250g of Protein, 50-100g of Carbs and 100+g of fat. It's best to make sure most of your fat is coming from lean meat sources, veggies, nuts. Things like that. Healthy fat sources. If this is where most of the source of your fat is coming from I don't see it being…

EAS, Six Star and Body Fortress are cheaper and better tasting brands. If you're just mixing the stuff with water, that could be why you hate it. When mixing just water with it, the stuff tastes and looks like dirt. If you got a blender put a couple scoops of powder in, a cup or milk (I usually use almond milk) and a…
