I love dry red wine. I used to drink a bottle 2-3 times a week and sometimes more on friday and Saturday nights out. I also used to partake in a beer and bbq roasted pork tradition on Sunday evenings. However, I have not been losing weight even though I eat clean and workout atleast an hour everyday, so I am trying to cut…

This is just making hungry and there's some yummy looking things in here which I know I can't have but some of u lucky people are having

very proud of you. u're absolute inspiration!!

I love beans but avoid them coz of the extremely uncomfortable gas they cause me. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, I need ideas for low-card breakfasts. Unfortunately blackberries, rhubarb or raspberries don't grow in the part of Africa. What we have is bananas, mangoes, pineapples- the sugary stuff.

I was having mango and banana smoothies for breakfast but the sugar content scared me. I think it contributed to my failure to lose weight. So now I limit the mangoes and bananas and opt for less sugary fruits like watermelon. Here is a link to a post I put up about that and the responses I got.…

I start in the morning, anxious, hoping I succeed

eh, thanks. am 29.5

Oh, and thanks for the links to the studies, am checking them out.

Thanks. I think this is my problem - "However, it should be noted that fructose and sucrose can only be stored as liver glycogen and not muscle glycogen. The liver can hold 100-120g glycogen so anything more than that will be converted to triglycerides." In what foods can I find glucose? I am eating at a deficit, pretty…

Thanks. It helps. I don't mind snacking on protein 4-5 times a day. I love chicken, I love liver, absolutely love fish, like vegetables, like eggs. I don't like to eat fruits actually, but in an effort to find a healthy breakfast, I've been having fruit smoothies. Since am staying away from bread, what am I going to eat…

Glad we're friends, thanks for sharing and inspiring. Unfortunately we have the same kind of arms :( PS. I was wondering abt your username, that's cleared now :)

Thank you all. I'll limit the fruits and keep with the protein. I make my breakfast smoothies with mangoes, apples, bananas and sometimes pineapples and one mango takes up all the sugar am supposed to have in a day.

Good for you. I lift heavier than many guys in my gym too. Yesterday one told me I was working out way too much.

I feel your pain and frustration. I was confused about the carbs thing, and am still a little confused. But I did some research yesterday and read that people trying to build muscle should eat carbs, but then towards the end of the article it mentioned that people lifting weights to lose weight should focus on having a…

Thanks. Am going to first try further reducing my calories, cutting out things I know are not good for a month, and see how that works. Thanks much.

Jennisin1, thank you for the link.

100g is very little hoppers actually, they're too tasty to eat that little. But you're right, I those numbers seem to be per 100g and not per insect- can't be per insect.

interesting. thank you.

One little minute before I crashed

My goodness!! that's an amazing three month transformation. Way to go!!

Yes!! You've done an incredibly awesome job and now that you know the limits are only in our minds, go for your next goal without any doubt in yourself. Job well done!!

I've been doing the program without the app, just the program printout. I got to W5D2 but I have slacked off now, a little sared about the 20 min run. I need music in order to run. What's the app like? Does it play music? I don't have a smart phone to put the app.

Thank you so much.

Thank you all. I have to say, this weight loss thing is challenging, some people think am not eating enough and some think I am eating more than I should. How many calories should I be eating/netting? I admire people who can live healthy lives without having to count calories and everything they eat. I bought a tape…
