If your aim is to gain muscle in most cases you're going to gain weight. If you can disassociate weight on the scale to equal weight then you will be ok, weight doesn't mean someone is healthy or unhealthy. To lose weight be in a caloric deficit To gain weight be in a small surplus. if you do either slowly it minimises fat…

Unless you can't access food and the protein shakes are purely for convenience and not laziness (sorry to sound rude). Then try switching it out and replace with wholesome foods like chicken or other lean meats it'll offer similar macros but keep you fuller for longer

For me I use the treadmill for sprint intervals and elliptical for LISS. If i want to run i will try and run outdoors Works well :) keeps me from getting bored of one or the other. Oh and I had an ACL knee reconstruction a few years back so have to manage my knee too.

Going through your last few days your sodium intake is through the roof is it normally like that? How much water do you tend to drink a day? it maybe a form of dehydration or because you're reintroducing a form of food/fuel to the body your stomach doesn't have the enzymes to digest it properly. i'd give it a little longer…

A little bit of dark chocolate is good for you and has a number of health benefits. But agreed the ****ty chocolate with HFCS and other such artificial chemicals should be avoided. But as others have said there are a number of variations that could have affected it you mention that your veg intake was slightly lower you…

Just as an alternative Chocolate. If you crave chocolate, it doesn’t mean your body has a chocolate deficiency, although I think most people would prefer that. Chocolate is high in magnesium. Cravings for it often indicate that your body is deficient in magnesium, which is a common deficiency. If you’re going to eat…

I am on a similar journey fighting the intake battle currently on 2700 moving up to 3000 a day scary process Seeing as i started on 1850 calories a day but i'm now 2 stone lighter and it really is crazy that you can eat more enjoy your training and feel happy while losing weight

When I got back into training I was with someone who not only didn't exercise but didn't like me to either. After ending that relationship and sorting myself out for a few months unintentionally I met someone in my gym we do some fitness related things together and stuff on our own/ others. She likes long distance running…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh dear, go read and understand about physiology and what the body does with food and it's thermic effect. If this helps you learn to undersand and begin to repair your relationship with food fine but it's not a magic solution it's not sustainable alas why it only lasts 17days, a manageable calorie…

Low calorie/ restrictive diets cause more people to binge or fall off the wagon if you are getting the appropriate fuel for you life and workouts you wont feel the need to binge. Rather than restricting yourself from things you like why not have a healthy relationship with food, work out why you over eat and binge and then…

Exactly no need to be restrictive just enjoy your training and life
-
Keep your cardio at the level it is and start to lift heavy weights lifting for women, strong lifts etc you look great as you are but if you want to kick it up a gear and get fit starting doing resistance training that will give you those inches lost and body recomposition :) It sounds like your food intake and knowledge…

Cool I will do thanks, After 3 years out from an ACL tear I'm doing this all on my own without the support of football coach or team mates so learning as i go along. Love to read and challenge others and my own opinions on things :)

I really don't get the use of pre-workout surly making your body produce the right chemicals to workout should be priority? Forgive my ignorance/ inexperience in them what exactly is the point except the fact you go on a sugar like rush?
-
if you are new to lifting you can and will gain muscle strength while eating at a deficit, some people can continue to build (I'm an example) during a fat loss program

Stop stealing routines from everyone else and pretending they're yours while promoting those godly unhealthy products and diets. You are putting a nation in a dangerous mindset! Oh and lay off the coke and male growth hormones!
-
why not shake it up and if you know your friends are going for a meal on day x make that your big intake day. routine and repetition in diet ie food eaten and intake along with the same training routine causes plateau enjoy life be considerate of your health and weight loss goal just dont let it dictate your life :)
-
I find the opposite, for me ending in big compound moves is my preference so i give everything left and am done. Best starting with dumbell work first as the smaller muscles tend to fatigue quicker than the main ones. Try something for a few weeks and change it up see what works for you

Watch this and tell me it does't have an effect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpoAtwVyzZI End of the day everything in moderation 2-3 cans a day isn't moderation

I work in a very heavy feeder/ snacking office as im surrounded by developers and people who spend the whole day at a desk. I started off being a food snob saying no to everything then realised it wasn't having the best effect on my self esteem with negative comments from people nor my working relationships so i took a…
