You folks that think Pruvit is a scam, have you tried it? Probably not, just haters pushing an opinion because you think you know everything. Pruvit has changed my life, and not because of weightloss. I had severe depression and PTSD, TBI, brain fog - couldn't even wake up in the mornings to be able to hold a proper job.…

Oddly enough I believe I have found Gluten to be a trigger as well.

7 pounds in 11 days is not all that crazy...it all depends on how much you have to lose to begin with...your activity level and your food intake. Some people lose weight faster than others...2.5 pounds per week is basically the recommended number and I dont think your that far from it.

Army deployments are now only 9 months long, Afghanistan is just about done and will be closed out within a year...so I dont forsee any new deployments in the near future.

No, you are right...but the number you multiply by can vary greatly based on an individuals metabolism. I guess 1.2 is a good starting point...but if you multiply it by 1.2 and you are gaining then your body obviously doesnt fall into the "norm"

Yeah you need to net close to what your goal is...but if your goal is to lose weight then you cant exactly do that if your goal=the number of calories your body is using to maintain.

Juicing is a great way to supplement your diet...IF....you are juicing the right items. Juicing fruits is going to create a product high in sugar, low in fiber, and well if you drink it in any quantity it will ultimately not be great for you. Juicing the green veggies and the red veggies can provide you with many much…

Trained for years in the cold as preperation for my Nordic ski racing season...depending on how cold will determine the thickness of the tights....but definately tights, alot of people would wear a pair of shorts of the tights...your call. A thermal top, or at least a Under Armour top with a fleece vest and a fleece or…

how bout that Sassy smile...what guy could turn tht away...not to mention the sexy curves.

To the OP, Im going to be straight up with you...the Army is in an 18 billion dollar short fall, we are cutting training, we are cutting Soldiers, we are cutting EVERYTHING. Enlisting right now is going to be tough, you can do it, but it will be tough. The Army wont discriminate against your age but you should know you…

Yes because you made it abundantly clear that you were referring to her age (which by the way I have had many Soldiers that age..with children) and time when you made your comment. Please, you are just trying to sound less ridiculous then when you made the comment.

What exactly is wrong with joining the military? Why on earth would you want to join the military...I don't know...maybe a steady paycheck, family health insurance, a pension if you serve 20 years, training that would cost you $$$ in the civilian world, the ability to serve your country and give back a little of what your…

I changed my mind...9 ;)

That sexy long hair, delicious bod, and tantalizing smile

Ive read it, but I find it hard to believe anyone who is peddling their own product so much in their book. If you want to tell me to live healthy, do so without telling me how many of your shakes, powders, or pills I should consume a day.

I used to enjoy cheat days...but I have come to the determination that the reason my fitness has such a yo-yo pattern it is because I cheat. If I make the determination to eat a new way, to live a new way, I cant keep going back to what caused the problems in the first place and "cheat". A cheat day basically reaffirms the…

Well, Based on the information provided and using MFP BMR calculator it says your Calorie intake should be about 1400 a day to maintain...I believe you said you are consuming 1350 a day. I would definately say that when we add our cals in it is plus or minus at least 50 calories...possibly more depending on the methods you…

My experience has shown me that basing your diet on a 2000 calorie generality is one of the biggest mistakes we continue to make, the FDA standard was developed back when Food labels were first being added to foods, the government needed a baseline and dismissed the 2,350 calorie average it had determined because it…

Interesting question, if the hypertension was stress related...industry standards state that an air traffic controller is generally the most stressing job over a sustained period of time...then gaining pounds could make it worse if it were the only variable...but if the person were put on a Caribbean island somewhere,…

Hypertension can be 100% hereditary and stress related and have absolutely nothing to do with fitness level. I know friends that have a body fat percentage that cant really go any lower and they have hypertension...stress has MUCH to do with it. Losing weight is not always the answer.

Ahh okay...so it is the sweets that get ya...I have a sweet tooth myself. First know that sugar is addicting...like a drug, and your body and mind are not happy when you start telling it no. I played around with a lot of artificial sweetners before I decided I was not putting that crap into my body any more...because all…

WOAH I cant believe nobody has mentioned this...COQ10 is a supplement that can really help with blood pressure. Here is a link: http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/coenzyme-q10-000295.htm COQ10 has actually been shown to lower blood pressure...amongst other things, in several clinical trials. Additionally, COQ10 is often…

I agree with the last poster, you may want to work on some self esteem before even starting your journey. For example, what do you like about yourself? If you find that question difficult to answer then perhaps there is a little more to work out besides weight loss and diet. I dont know how old the pics you posted are, but…

I wouldnt cut out cardio entirely, but you definitely can add in some heavier lifting 3x a week. Woman getting thick from lifting is pretty much a lift, most woman lack the testosterone to get thicker from lifting, I have included a website that you may find useful:…

AWSOME SUCCESS STORY!!!

Being a man, I cant claim to know a ton about woman sizing. But, I do know that of the celebs I have met it is always stunning how smaller they look in person then what they appear to look like on TV. One celeb once told me...you have to remember, you are watching a little box and depending on the camera angle and distance…

I would say substitute lard for shortening any day of the week...shortening is as gross as margarine. Kinda of like the difference between a good quality whipped cream (home made preferably) vs. Cool Whip...the thought of eating whipped vegetable oil just doesnt sound right.

Most supporters of Paleo/Primal eating would absolutely disagree with some of these comments about butter. Grass fed butter is extremely nutritious It’s high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats. Cooking with olive oil or any vegetable oil I would argue, is inferior to butter. The truth is margarine is a…

Actually...he is partially right on the Afro-Carribean comment. African Americans, in general, have a greater bone density than Caucasians. Therefore, they are more apt to sink than float...this means that they would have to work harder to swim than someone who is more buoyant. There are of course exceptions to the rule…
