@jessticlesx ok, got to admit you got it covered; count me in.

I just want to notice @jessticlesx‌ that hanging out at the beach 24 hours is a lot. You gotta come up with a better plan. Always in for the gym and partially for the party.

24hs is a lot to spend with a man -at least if you're straight- but I guess we can see a movie (action, off course), then hit the gim, then buy alcohol and play cards the remaining 18 hs while we get wasted.

Hi! First, facts: + Fasting with low calorie eating is not going to do the trick. Your body needs to be fasted of nutrients to start the processes associated with fasting. + There's no need to go one day on fasting. I don't remember the minimum, but it's between 14 to 16 hs that you'll already see results. + Fasting has a…

Hi! If not already, I hardly recommend you to focus on the healthy fat and calorie density (amount of nutrients per calorie) of the almonds when searching for a substitute. To maintain that -and fit your macros- you could have several kind of nuts on your home, and keep alternating them the way you most like (day to day,…

15% is the lowest recommended for women to maintain a healthy life, and it's what we know as a (really) fit body. Below that (about 12%) are female bodybuilders. In the range 16 to 20% is what we know as healthy body. What do I recommend? Try and have your BF measured again (but not by yourself). If you're really 15%,…

Hate to be simple, but I'd say COOKIES. I just love 'em.

Better than tell you what to do or do not, I might tell you: 1. What is going to reduce your weight and BF is a calorie deficit (consume less calories than you waste). 2. What is going to keep you healthy and reaching long therm goals is having a "healthy" calorie deficit (looking forward to macro-nutrients and keeping it…

When I do not have the time to MFP I take a (silent) photo of the nutritional facts of the food. Once home I can look for a suitable match on the db.

I'm going to tell you my experience: I used to be like you, till I found out that what caused me most hungry was the fact that "I couldn't eat anymore". So for a time I started to make me real food (meaning: no treats) if I felt like at night. Sometimes I still was hungry once finished, and sit down and eat taking my time,…

As long as we are talking of weight loss, if you keep the consistency, it'll be "accurate". Meaning, if you weight at morning, try and do it always morning. If you drink water, try to do always the same. I chose not to change my routine because it's easier to keep consistency through the weigh ins (I just have to do what I…

Lol, it is, is just that I wrote it wrong, sorry for that. I don't think that is mythical though. I do think that the relation between causes and effects might not be -still- well determined, but at the level of MFP is not that much relevant. It's the same with the "after-burning effect": the EPOC alone cannot justify the…

It's, at least, risky to give a psychological profile based on a MFP post. I know that we want to help, but I think that is worth to change the "you are" for "I think that", "it happened to me that", and so on. So first, it's great that you are changing your habits and you found yourself full without hitting the goal. The…

Hi! First off, don't panic! There's a good explanation for everything, it's just that sometimes we're so into the problem that we cannot see the limits nor the exit. Second, do not waste your thinking into "how the other is doing it so well". Either you know for a fact (you asked them) or you don't, but at this moment, try…

First of all, congratulations for starting this journey and feeling already better. Regarding the preservation of the muscle, the idea behind it is to say to your body "don't throw it 'cause I'm using it". So at first yes, you're doing a good job. There's still room for improvement though: *Keep the repetition range at, at…

It depends on how did you set up your goals (on MFP and on your diet). If you want to have a consistent deficit (between the energy you consume and the energy you "waste") then you should have the exercise into consideration, either by setting it up in the MFP goals, or eating the calories back on your diet. If you don't…

Thank you both guys, with the info you gave me I've started to search a little, and I think I might be able to really improve my nutrition :)

I'm/was in a quite similar situation you are: I had to cut my protein powder 'cause I had to prioritize the money into other things, and started to specialize in protein per food per cost. I even made an excel that you fill some data about the food and give you an insight about the protein/cost (lol, but true). As far as…

That's up to you, the recommendation is both to drink 8 (Mayo clinic suggest 9 coups for women) glasses of liquid AND this liquid to be water. Truth is that, whereas water is the best you may have regarding liquids, coffee, tea, etc. does count. About coffee being a diuretic, there's been few studies showing that that is…

First, I wouldn't recommend to start looking at the amount of calories you should eat right now. I'd better just track what you're already eating (by a week or two) without taking care of the numbers. That being said: not gonna lie, 1200 sounds kinda low. Anyway, I don't really use the calculator on MFP, I'm more used to…

After any kind of training, your body takes a time to recover. Depending on the type -and the intensity- of the training session, that time can go from a few hours up to two days*. Gladly for all of us here at MFP, you still burn calories in that time. One of the main indicators of that recovering time is your heart still…

Unless you are talking about real strength training (deadlift, squat, chess press), both schedules are ok. I've done both, I've done weight training + HIIT, I've done one on the morning and the other at the noon/night, and what I always keep in mind is: 1. *current 2. Do whatever fits your levels of energy.

YES. They eventually go away. Think on this as quitting to smoke: at first you might not notice, then you'll have some hard days, and finally you'll stop "wanting to". Just embrace the process and do not give up.

Sure, 3 simple steps: 1st: Do not change for a while (about two weeks) what you're eating, just track it into MFP (My Fitness Pal). 2nd: In the meanwhile, familiarize yourself with the basis of nutrition (not diets, but nutrition). 3rd: Once that you know where you start (1st step) and you know where you want to go (lose…

8 (:

Best: Weather was a (so) nice today when I wake up that I decided to make the gym session AM today. Worst: When I got out, it was raining, and I had to come back home walking. On leg day.

Look, the only way that you can make nutrition a part of your life, is getting to know yourself. If you need to take a break -as stated above- do not hesitate. As long as the break does not involve un-healthy actions, you can make it part of your diet and/or life. There is a technique out of this for people dieting that is…

I've become an addict to the biggest loser show. In less than two months I've seen all the USA and UK seasons and now I'm going for the AUS. I SO enjoy the process. Off course, nobody knows about this. It's a secret between my YouTube history and me.

I should be working right now.
