mmmm..... are you pregnant? Hormonal changes are often the cause of constipation especially in women. I don't recall the exact hormone now but there is one that tells your bowels to do their thing... Learn all kinds of fun facts when your wife is pregnant... and a doctor... EDIT: Being glib about the pregnant thing there…

My personal favorite way to eat eggs is fried over medium with salt and pepper. Then I put that on some kind of carb... toast, polenta, potatoes pasta rice... super easy super delicious. On a side note, it turns out one of my new neighbors is an urban farmer and has like 10 chickens. He told me to stop buying eggs and just…

I wouldn't worry too much about changing your goals... I started lifting, and hit a point where I couldn't eat any less and still have the energy to lift so even though I'm 10 lbs short of my goal of 190 I'm ok with it... I've also lowered my body fat % (not by much) even though I haven't lost any weight... it's slow I…

Having had mild tennis elbow from years of playing tennis the causes always seem to be bad technique, or weak muscles or both. What caused the injury? You may need bigger grips on your raquet or you may need to consider grip exercises if it's from something like gardening. I would look at your lifestyle to see what's…

They taste fine for a supplement. They are a filling high protein snack to help me fit in enough protein. I'd rather have cheesecake. That being said, you definitely can't take others word for which ones will taste good to you. I personally find the double chocolate chunk kind of disgusting, but I like the chocolate…

My clothes are small enough that an entire weeks worth of clothes can fit in one load of laundry... weird.. Also I'm better at my job, my brain is I dunno... not weighted down with all the food? I feel like I'm able to think quicker and have better recall.

We were in malawi, my wife was doing some HIV research, and I was being a bum... it was pretty fun. Lost about 20 lbs while I was there... only to put back 30 when I came home...

I spent a year in africa so I took some of the tube type bands with me... They were great for about 6 months when they started breaking. Sooo... if you need them for 2 you should be fine... wear safety goggles tho. (the safey goggles thing is a joke)

I completely feel you on this one. I hate it. I do it because I have to, and because I like what I see in the mirror these days alot more than when I didn't go. But I still hate it. This is the first time in my life I have exercised at least 3 times a week every week for such an extended period (16 months). I still hate…

I have the same issue. On the site he talks about adequate rest between sets. If you can manage it, time your rest period. I know that for me I tend to rush the OHP cause it sucks. I'm trying to give myself a full 2 minutes between sets.

I love mixing and matching foods... half the time I find that what I'm doing is pretty common in other parts of the world. Anybody who thinks eggs are just for breakfast is missing out!!! For dinner tonight it's grilled eggplant on polenta with grilled halumi and 2 eggs over medium.

Right now gnc is selling boxes for buy one get one half off... I just bought 4 boxes including tax and all for $92.70...

I drink a cup a day and have lost 50lbs... so I think it's safe... It's not the coffee that keeps people from losing weight, it's all stuff people put in it... Cream and sugar can make a huge difference100 extra cal's 2x a day? That would be 10% of my 2000 cal's a day. I use splenda, and don't like cream in my coffee…

I love eggplant!!! A couple of my favorites are roasted eggplant pizza with caramelized onions. Roasted eggplant sammiches with goat cheese onions basil.

Indian food! Try Dhokla, it's made out of graham flour (chick peas). Kind of perishable, but there are premixed packets available that you just have to steam, these are available at most indian grocery stores... Also we make snacks out of several kinds of pulses just check out yer local indian snack food store... you do…

Biggest waste I've had recently was some crap delivery chinese food. I wasn't in my usual area so kind of chose one at random... crap load of cals and not very tasty, and only fleetingly filling. I was especially pissed the next night when I ordered pizza which was amazing... wish I would have gotten it both nights....

Avoid the "free" chips and salsa.... they cost like 4 hours on a treadmill...

Mine are kind of flip sides to the same coin. DO: Develop some staple menus that are easy to deal with that can be eaten often. This helps you get into a nice groove of eating the right amount and hopefully of foods that you like. Takes alot of the thinking out of your meal planning. DON'T: Forget to add some variety to…

I love runza's! Basic eastern european meat pie cabbage ground beef onions garlic and paprika stuffed in an ever so slightly sweet dough and baked.... To make it easy buy a pre-made dough of your liking....

I agree with your kids, I hate baked fish... it's texture just makes me want to vomit... That being said I love fish. My two simplest suggestions are 1. check out the dirty dozen list. 2. pan fry your fish dusted in whatever seasonings you like and flour and cook in butter AND oil. The oil keeps the butter from burning at…

I would suggest fewer liquid calories and more solid calories. For me I could drink 4k cal in a smoothie and I will be starving 15min later. Add all the peanut butter, or protein powder or anything else. There is just something psychological about drinking the cal's, it just doesn't satisfy me.

There is a slaw recipe I found which is cabbage, apple, optional carrots, mayo, vinegar, salt pepper sugar and caraway seeds. I start with that, then I toss a firm white fish like grouper in seasoned flour, and pan fry it. Fish and slaw go on your favorite bread type thingy and you've got a delicious fish slaw wich... Also…

Rather than deprive yourself of the calories what I would do is something like: (amt of fat cals in one wing)X(number of wings in the pot) = Total amount of added fat And then do the proper calculations to determine the amount you've consumed.... It's almost like stoichiometry, glad I learned something in high school...

Ok... so maybe not strictly on topic, but apparently you can make jams and jell-o like dishes using chia... anybody tried it? My wife puts chia in her smoothies, she forgot to take it with her to work and when I came home I had to spoon it out of the travel mug to toss it... Probably should have given it shot but I didn't…

Soooo... I too am becoming active a bit later in life (started starting strength at 38). There is a concept called anchoring. Basically before you do whatever it is you are going to do you anchor yourself mentally, get yourself ready to do it whatever it takes. Alot of guys give a short yell. Me personally I try to do the…

I would get a concept rowing machine... I lift in the gym, it would be awesome to have one of these to add some cardio at home!

one of my favorite ways to do mild fishes is lightly pan fried in butter/oo with salt and pepper and then served in the holy trinity of japanese sauses soy mirin dashi... I usually add some pepper flakes...

For pure comedy value my favorite is their childrens alfredo pasta which clocks in at 2000 calories. Personally my favorite dish is their plain cheesecake, in my opinion one of the best pieces of cheesecake ever. With some strawberry topping... Believe it or not it is one of the healthiest things on their menu...

+1 Also please do not hold your breath on the ascending portion of a heavy DL. You will become a youtube sensation if you do.... Ok fine maybe not *will* but you definitely increase your chances....

Generally a lot of "you look great" "keep it up" which is nice of course, but my company had their anniversary party last wkend and people that I see every day commented on how great I looked dressed up (pretty casual office usually just jeans and a t-shirt for me). That really made me feel great because I feel like for…
