OP that diet is crap. I say it's crap because it's too restrictive and you won't survive on it. But you know that already. Also there's damn near no fats in it. Fats are essential to regulating hormones and body functions. Don't be surprised when your sex drive tanks to the bottom of the ocean. If you're not a competitor…

My family and close friends are fat and struggle with their weight. They think they can lose it and keep it off by going on dumb diets; such as completely cutting out carbs, not eating meat, "cleansing", crash dieting, etc. You know.. the usual crap. Whenever I hear them talking about weight loss, they always advise others…

Lift and diet.

You're pretty much going to have to force yourself to eat. A lot. Like the brah above me said.. lifting + food.

Yes using a measuring cup is very inaccurate. Weigh your food. And weigh it raw.

You can eat anything if you can fit it into your calories and macros for the day. So if you can make it work then go ahead and eat it. But I do advise that you try to eat satiating foods when you're cutting.. otherwise if you eat too much "junk" then you are going to feel hungry and miserable. If you don't know what I'm…

I strength train weekly - doing a full body routine 3x a week. Takes me about 1.5-2hours. I usually have some peanut butter and carbs before working out. After working out I am hungry so I'll have a protein shake. Before bed I will eat a meal because I hate sleeping on an empty stomach.

I'd have no problems with a fat personal trainer if their history shows they know what to do. For example if they were bodybuilders or were/are powerlifters. Some of the best powerlifters are lardasses and, as someone who wants to get into powerlifting, I sure as hell would take their advice.

If you've already developed healthy eating habits then you can go ahead and eat at a bigger calorie deficit to lose faster. The only problem with that is you're going to feel miserable eating so little every day. If I drop under 1700 I start to feel like crap.

Yea it's a great way to meet your calorie goals. You don't get hungry while you're drinking the shake because you down it so fast. Then it hits you.. 15-20 minutes after you finished it you're really full and realize you just had a 1000 calorie meal. And it can be so flexible. If you want more calories, use whole milk…

Just add more oats and a frozen banana to it. I do: 2 scoops protein powder 1.5 cups 1% milk 1 cup oats 1 frozen banana It comes out to 880 calories / 110g carbs / 10g fat / 88g protein If that's still not enough for you just add a little bit more milk, another half cup of oats and another banana to get you up to ~1200. Oh…

Peanut butter.

Nope everyone I know is lazy as hell

6-8 weeks

Once you've been lifting for a decent amount of time, you don't get sore anymore. Your muscles feel a little fatigued, sure, but not sore. If you're sure that you've got the correct form then start to focus on your mind-muscle connection. That means if you want to work your *kitten*, then focus on feeling your *kitten*…

Drink a lot of water to help flush things out. Try not to have cheat days too often because the surplus in one day can pretty much negate an entire week of dieting. So if you're dieting M-F but pig out every weekend then don't be surprised when you make no progress. If I am feeling down and lethargic, but haven't lost…

Weigh everything raw/dry.

I know that feeling. I used to be addicted to coke. I'd drink over half a 2 liter bottle a day. That's one of the big reasons I got so damn fat. Just try drinking less and less each day. Eventually it'll become more manageable. These days I usually only have it once a week, and only about 8-12oz.

Strong transformation. Gj. But please fix your deadlift and squat form. Oh god your back looks like its going to SNAP on those deadlifts

Telling people to completely cut out the foods they most enjoy is a sure way to set them up for failure. Overly restrictive diets is the #1 reason why most people fail at losing weight, or lose the weight then end up rebounding. Go hang around the getting started or introduction section for a few days. You will find no…

Damn lol. All this food is making me hungry again.

If you only have the time to work out twice a week then you might as well do a full body routine. With the bro split you're on you're only working out each muscle group once every two weeks, when you could instead be hitting it 4x every two weeks.

I had one. Liked it while it lasted. But it's a piece of junk. The bearings in the extractor blade start to rust in a few months, leading to an unbearably loud noise when blending. And the rust starts to leak into your smoothie. Yes even the new and improved design is still the same.

^ Moose is right. Don't overthink it. I eat whenever I want, work out whenever I want, and I've lost plenty of weight. Seriously. Some days I'll work out at 7am; other days at 10pm. Some days I'll eat all throughout the day; other days I only eat at night. As long as you're consistently eating in a deficit and working out…

Listen. You are going to drive yourself crazy with this line of thinking. You know you've gone too far when you're sitting in chipotle taking apart your burrito to weigh the chicken, rice, and cheese in it. Seriously. My advice to you is don't eat out often if it bothers you so much. When you do eat out, just log whatever…

You can get it online. They're somewhat expensive though. If you want to go with something more known, this is the best selling RO filter on Amazon and it's a 5-stage filter: http://www.amazon.com/iSpring-5-Stage-Reverse-Osmosis-Filter/dp/B003XELTTG/ref=zg_bs_13397611_2 Personally I am going to be buying this one:…

You need a reverse osmosis filter. It tastes the same, if not better, than bottled water.

If you're having a hard time fitting in 5 workouts a week, just keep in mind that it's not necessary to work out 5x a week to lose weight. Diet is the most important thing.

Prioritize your goals. You can't expect to perform optimally when you're eating in a calorie deficit. If you want to do your best at the tough mudder then eat for it. Once you're done with it then you can start eating at a deficit to lose weight again.

OP slow down. You're doing 5x5s with only 30 seconds rest in-between, and you say you're even thinking of removing the rest all together. That means you're doing it wrong. You're not using enough weight to challenge yourself. If you do a set of 5 with a weight that is actually challenging, you will see that it will take…
