Orowheat is delicious. They have all the types we have listed.

BOGUS. First thing I saw was 10 lbs. in one week; I didn't need to look further. It just seems like an extreme calorie limitation? Maybe you will lose some water weight.
-
Check out BuiltLean.com. They have a wealth of information on exercise and nutrition principles to cut fat while maintaining muscle mass.

I take a multivitamin, fish oil supplement, C4 Explode preworkout, and Elite gourmet Whey-Casein blend for my post workout shake.

Good call! Exactly what I am talking about. :)

MFP's sugar and sodium are pretty low by default. If you are eating natural sugars you are fine, and I wouldn't stress about it. The sugar that gets you is all the processed junk and sweets you get with unhealthy food you should be avoiding for weight loss anyway. I don't have an exact, "recommended" amount for natural…
-
You definitely should limit your sodium intake, but the MFP sodium allowance is crazy low. As long as you eat whole, unprocessed foods most the time and limit processed stuff you should be good.

I usually go for multi-grain since whole wheat only means that the bread needs to include every part of the wheat plant (there are three, but I can't remember the names). That is where they get you...as long is it contains all the essential parts of the wheat plant it can be whole wheat no matter the sugar or extras put…

The avocado is in a cooler and is probably stirred/used frequently. However, you ARE in Canada, so I would watch out. I live in Austin, TX so avocado is extremely prevalent and fresh all the time.

You should listen to this guy.. noob gains coupled with fat loss will show the muscle you already have while maintaining or IN SOME (NOOBY) CASES you will get gains in the beginning. However, you either have to cut fat at a deficit or build muscle at a surplus. Oftentimes, people can lose those last few bf% points and then…

It's just a number on the scale. Same thing with me. I have been hovering in the same 4-5 lb range, but my measurements are getting smaller, I look better, and I feel GREAT!
-
2:15 right meow. Hoping to hit 3:00 pretty soooooon.

In for later.

I don't think anyone can make the argument that strength training with weights is more feminine. When has that EVER been the case? If anything, it is hard to convince my gf that she NEEDS to strength train to achieve certain results. With the recent explosion of Cross Fit I see more women getting into it, but describing it…

Good call! Let me know how they compare. I am expecting my flex on Tuesday. :)
-
I just ordered my Flex for $50 from Brookstone. I am really excited to get it on Tuesday and try it out. I have read mixed reviews about all the top competitors and come to the conclusion that these are supplementary tools for people who already have a good idea of their activity level. You can't expect to pick one of…
-
Umm no. Please don't take that advice. If you have an HRM you should always wear it. Also, if you are strength training correctly you SHOULD have an increased heart rate. Otherwise you aren't working very hard..

Haha once I saw the updated Father's Day code I had to try. ^_^ I can't wait for mine to arrive!
-
I originally had a backorder until 6/20...just got my shipping confirmation today. Looks like I will be enjoying my Fitbit earlier than expected and for 50% off! whoop
-
CHOBANI!! Nuff said.
-
Yeah, I just did both the Father's day code and the Groupon.
-
Amazing deal! Just got it with the Father's day code and the Groupon!
-
Just took advantage of the Groupon. Thanks! EDIT: Whoop, called Donna over at Brookstone and added a fresh promo code. $50 shipped. :)))

That is referring to getting the proper proportion of macro nutrients i.e. protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Depending on your fitness goals and body, different percentages are appropriate. I personally use a 45% carb - 30% protein - 25% fat distribution.
-
^^^ This right here.
-
You are probably just losing arm and lower leg fat along with your tummy fat, allowing the muscle mass you already had to show. :)
-
Eat at a 20-25% calorie deficit of your TDEE. Do strength training 3 times a week and do some intervals as well. Check out BuiltLean.com amazing site that will really help you out. Lots of articles on all the stuff I am saying.
-
What is your goal? Lose fat? Gain muscle? Maintain current composition?
-
I highly recommend looking into High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for your situation. You can do it on a machine or out in the world (my favorite is the elliptical), it takes less time than traditional steady state cardio, and has great fat loss benefits that steady state doesn't offer. This includes increased Excess…

It is not possible to gain muscle mass and lose fat at the same time. In order to lose fat, your body needs to be in a catabolic state. In order to gain muscle mass, your body needs to be in an anabolic state. This is achieved through proper nutrition, creating the proper caloric surplus or deficit, and proper exercise. It…
