I got my *kitten* to the gym after not going yesterday. I finally have energy today and my mood is fantastic. As a narcoleptic, every day that I don't go to the gym and push myself, I end up having poor energy and a sour mood. :neutral: Feeling great today though! :smile: That's what it's all about, making those small…

I've been paleo/primal for a little over 2 years now and I couldn't be happier! My diary is open. I actually cured my seborrheic dermatitis (think dandruff), allergies (I used to be on prescription meds and was contemplating surgery for my turbinates because I couldn't breath when lying down), my Narcolepsy has…

I've always left my diary open as well to help anyone struggling with questions as to what to eat. Feel free to send me a friend request ask questions! :)

Don't Eat: Processed foods (think food in cans, boxes; anything that had to be created in a factory), drinks with sugar that are insatiable and screw with your hormone, insulin. Watch your carbs. Most people way too much because of how easily accessible it is. For instance, crackers, soda, a bowl of rice with the tiniest…

Exactly what she said, but don't touch a protein bar, unless it's a Quest bar, if you want to lose weight. They're complete junk food. You'll be filled up as long as you eat right, but again, listen to what she said.

I just would like to chime in and say, please don't buy Body Fortress protein, or any other protein with Creatine or any other aminos listed in the ingredients. They are spiked and falsely report their protein content. I'd explain further, but I don't have much time right now, so instead, here's a video explaining:…

You know what mindset really got me truly committed and has allowed me never to stray? The fact that my health is the only thing in my life that I have complete control over. For me, it started when my life was a wreck (just starting to get back on my feet now) and I had no control over anything at that point. Everything…

Friend me if you'd like as well! Always remember when you need motivation why you're trying to be healthy, lean, and/or fit; to feel good, look good, and be proud of yourself without any regrets :)

What AJ said. Truth.

I adhered to it strictly for about a month and didn't like it. I was always absolutely starving by the time I was allowed to eat (I would workout like a fiend beforehand), and that would cause me to over-eat and have serious stomach pain because of it. I ended up gaining quite a bit of fat in that month and I didn't…

I weigh just a bit more than you and have consumed around 2g/bodyweight (sometimes more) everyday. I also keep carbs around 150 (less or more depending on how hard I worked out) including fiber. Keep fats around 30%. You can go higher than this in exchange for carbs (if you eat more fats or protein, eat less carbs).

Do you think you the workouts stressed you out at all?

I remember I would over-eat when I was frustrated, which in-turn, made me even more frustrated because I would over-eat to the point where I was literally in pain. Granted, I eat a lot of protein and vegetables so it never hurt me too much, but it was honestly frustrating and, like I said, painful. So, I started to do some…

Feel free to add me as well! That goes for everyone here. Take a look at my diary and if anyone has any questions about anything, or would like tips, feel free to ask :) Everyone can do it! I made the big lifestyle change a year ago, permanently, and will not look back. In all honesty, I don't want to. In all of our lives,…

I wouldn't attempt to do that. I would just eat the way you're eating now. Like you said, it may take some time for your body to get used to it. No need to go backwards. If you don't mind me asking, are you eating Keto, Paleo, or another low carb diet?

This happened to me when I really started to hit the gym hard. I thought it was odd at first, but figured out that it was the raise in testosterone due to simply lifting heavier. If you've started to hit the gym hard lately, that's what it is. It just takes a couple of weeks for your body to get used to it and it all evens…

I didn't see anyone else post about this, so I'll go ahead and do so. Yes, you will suffer hormonal issues if your diet is not in place. If you're not eating enough fats (try to keep it roughly around 30% or around .5 lbs your bodyweight), then try to up your fats to this amount (this is necessary and you shouldn't cut…

@dintentions3 yes please :)

I'd say so :)
