congrats on the inches lost. That should really be what matters. Example: If you were a size 6 whether you weighed 125 or 150, why would the scale weight matter? wink wink; salad, veggies and fruits are indeed carbs.

sorry but professional physiologists will disagree with you all day long on this. This MIGHT be truer IF her protein levels were met, but they clearly are not. A calorie is not a calorie.

scary low protein intake. Unless you are a toddler. (weigh 30lbs) Cut the candy Cut the fried foods (which sound like they are also processed) UP your protein to adult levels

Olive oil = High in PUFA = Inflammation

I can't find the exact page with all her 160 lb pics but will keep looking.

The scale is a tool. I wish more people would rely on pictures and measurements instead of the number on the scale. It is JUST a number. People are so hung up on it. If weighing 20lbs more meant I would be smaller and leaner, I would take it all day long. If you are seeing your love handles and belly shrink, that should be…

awesome job!!!

and let me add that belittling people is so much more fun and makes you feel grander? effin GAG!

This. at the end of the day if this sort of thing causes you so much stress (or any second of stress at all) it is YOUR OWN life that needs to be re-evaluated, not the lives of your so called "offenders"

I see this as his own n=1 experiment and do not understand the freakin' negativity surrounding it. What about the IFer who decided to eat 2 lbs of potatoes every day. It was his own n=1 There is another dude on another forum who offers his body to science for his own little n=1 experiments as well. Frankly, I find it…

entirely possible. Lyle McDonald talks about this all the time, on his website and in all of his books. BodyRecomposition.com if you are interested in the nitty gritty. Too much cardio on a deficit can seem like a great thing but is often not. Again, all depends on the deficit. Lifting combined with adequate protein on a…

This +whey protein on the way to the gym. Because I can't dictate when my workouts are, I can't eat beforehand. While I try and work out between 10am and noon, something can come up and I have to go at 8:30, therefore if I just ate, it isn't good. But then I am eating all day it seems.

I just looked at the book on Amazon and don't find any compelling reason to purchase this, especially if you have been following NROL4W. "Drop Two Sizes includes effective, at-home strength and cardio routines that require little more than two dumbbells" That would be a major step backwards for most. Just my opinion of…

Please keep in mind that there are plenty of lifters still doing OLD programs from 20 or more years ago. Just because new books released doesn't mean the old workout program will not work anymore. Never forget that changing things up for a new book = continual payroll. Its business.

It can simply be muscle tears which happen often when people start lifting weights. This is one reason so many women stop lifting.....they think because of the +5lbs they are gaining bulk. Trying to convince them otherwise is futile. You create muscle tears which fill with water, temporarily. When the muscle fibers repair,…

I found that calculator way too low too. I used the scooby's workshop site. That one lets me eat more so I like it. I even am concerned that it is too low (I put moderately active) because I have lost 5lbs this week and I am no newbie to lifting. Am interested in seeing the responses to this.

1200 is a ton of fun. Not so much when your hair starts falling out and your thyroid and adrenals are fried. But still, I wish everyone the best of luck and health. :)

4 egg omelette 1/2 shredded cheese 4 tbs salsa (I eat this on almost everything) 1 medium banana 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Google the 5x5 workout - great beginner workout On compound lifts such as dead lifts or squats start with easy weights (but progress to heavier each workout) so that you learn the proper form. YouTube has a lot of great videos for form so just search there. If your form is bad, the last thing you want is that combined with…

I'm a cotton girl. No spandex here. Ever. Has to be at least 80% cotton for me to even consider wearing it. off to find camel toe thread.

what is your calorie level right now? I can tell you if you are eating less than what MFP states (typically 1200 for every female) that you are NOT eating enough. Period. If you are doing cardio 6x a week and not eating enough, PLEASE read this.…

This can be very individual. Here is a great read on the subject of insulin sensitivity and how macros may better benefit you according to whether you are insulin sensitive or resistant. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/insulin-sensitivity-and-fat-loss.html

Google for protein powder egg muffins too. There are so many variations out there and you can literally do any combination. I make them with chicken, broccoli and cheese and fruit ones (blueberry, banana etc) Most will give you about 16+ grams of protein in one. Some are higher depending on what you add in. Make in big…
