Healthy fats are the best thing for satiation.. Fat contains a hormone which regulates your appetite called cholecystokinin. Dont eat fat free everything or your hunger will always be out of control. Try adding some natural almonds, Natural PB, Avocado, Extra virgin olive oil or omega 3 fatty acids from fish like salmon to…

It looks pretty good you consistently staying in your goal.. I would try switching up your macro nutrients a little.I would try to eat a more complex carb in the morning like rolled or steel cut oats. and get more complex carb at night like sweet potato or brown rice whole grain pasta. I would limit the servings of nuts to…

It does not matter as long as you are under your calorie goal at the end of the day.. I eat a meal high in protein right before bed so my body can has fuel to repair itself while I fast during sleep.

The endorphin's released suppress your appetite, Try having a protein shake directly after you exercise to calm your stomach. Or try eating a meal before your workout.. If your only doing cardio you might want to start doing some wt training as well. Building muscle will increase your metabolic rate and will stimulate your…

Ha ha haa.. Err incorrect!! The word metabolism only describes the two metabolic processes catabolic & anabolic. catabolic is the breaking down and anabolic is the building up.. Lol please stop your making me laugh . You must be ripped.. please post some pics.

Is fat created by the tooth fairy? Since none of the macronutrients "turn" into fat.. Excess calories regardless their source will be stored as adipose tissue

During protein metabolism, some protein is converted to glucose in a process called gluconeogenesis, the formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. The basic difference between protein and carbohydrate is that while carbohydrates are made out of simple sugars (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), protein is made from…

What are you talking about?? Excess protein over your daily caloric needs is converted to glycogen and stored as fat! Where is your science coming from? Fat is stored energy!! It will be used. Protein is not used for energy unless your starving. Anytime you do any working out the first source of energy is muscle glycogen…

Excuse me?? Excess protein will be converted to glucose and stored as fat. I am a personal trainer and have been doing this for 13 yrs. If you dont believe me look at ACE( american counsel on Excercise) website http://www.acefitness.org/fitnessqanda/fitnessqanda_display.aspx?itemid=272 A: The human body is unable to store…

Wt loss and wt gain is all about the law of thermodynamics. energy can neither be created nor destroyed only transformed from one source to another. Food= Energy or calories. wt loss and wt gain boils down to this: Your Energy in VS Your Energy out If E in > E out = gain wt If E in = E out = stay the same if E in < E out =…

one gram per kilo of body wt, not 1gram per lb. Excess protein will be converted to fat.

Protein is the building blocks of your cells.. Everything from your hair, nails, skin, and muscle is built from the amino acids in the protein. You need to consume a sufficient amount of protein to maintain and build your cells. Different proteins have different amounts of bio-availability. Meaning your body can utilize…

If your working out and building muscle you should be consuming about 1 gram per kilo of body wt. Take your wt and divide it by 2.2 to find out how many kilos you are. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to that question, and research on the topic is still emerging. The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults get a…

You want to follow the RICE formula to heal faster and speed recovery. Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Rest.. stop joggin for awhile, Ice your knee 20 mins 3 times a day, wrap it with an ace bandage and lay on the couch with your leg elevated above your heart. Remember jogging is not the only cardio exercise. In fact…

Great it sounds like your doing good with your exercise. Just make sure you switch it up to avoid becoming to efficient at one exercise. When mixing up your cardio use the FITT principle = Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type. First variable you want to change is the intensity. ie: doing 10 mins on the bike at Level12 will…

Like I said no she wont. I just lost 21 lbs in 30 days none of it muscle and all of it fat. I do this for a living. 7/10 to 8/8 174 to 153. look at my picture and tell me if i look like I lost any muscle.. feel free to look at my diary and see what I have eaten for the last thirty days.

No she wont.. Her body will not catabolize her muscle unless she enters starvation mode. below 1200 cal. Muscle has a high maintenance level 50- 70 cal per lb. fat has a low maintenance level 4-7 cal to maintain. If you start starving your body will catabolize your muscle to maintain itself on lower calories. If she is…

You should strive to have about a 500 deficit a day. At your ht and wt it probably takes about 1700 cal to maintain. eating 1200 a day you will withdraw 500 from your stored energy/calories(aka fat) 500x7 = 1lb of fat withdrawn from your stores. Wt gain and wt loss is an accumulative process if you need 1700 and eat 2200…

You should probably start eating less calories if you want to continue to lose weight. 1920 a day is plenty to maintain you at your present wt. Unless you are logging them perfectly most people underestimate their real cal intake by 20% I Would consider moving your cal to 1500 a day. Hopefully you are doing wt training as…

Whey protein shakes! Easy way to add calories and protein.. go to your local store and buy some! drink two shakes a day in between your regular meals. Each scoop of protein will have about 100 cal and 20 grams of protein. It will make all the difference in your diet.

You should also only be doing wt training 3 times a week. 1 exercise per muscle 3 sets of 15 reps. hit the major muscle groups chest, back, shoulders, bicep, tricep, quads, hamstrings and calves. one exercise each.. the weight should be heavy enough that you can get to 15 repetitions but not much more. if you cant get 15…

You need to eat way more protein! Protein is the building blocks of muscle, skin, hair, nails and almost everything else in your body. You can work out all you want but with out enough protein you will never build any muscle.. Its like trying to build a sidewalk without cement. your diet is bordering on anorexic diet.. If…

Take a look at my diary.. you can see I will go over in the protein dept every day as well as the sugar.. You should be able to eat 1200 calories of healthy food very easily. Just have three meals of about 400 calories!

Fruit! Peaches, plums, nectarines, strawberries are all very sweet and have natural sugars in them.. They are low calorie and will take away your cravings!

Are you wt training? If so you could be gaining muscle.. If you lose 5lbs of fat and gain 5lbs of muscle your body will weigh the same but look different..

Most people underestimate the amount of calories they eat by 30-40% The average meal is about 1000 calories for most americans. You do not want to create to large a deficit.. if you need 1500 calories to maintain your wt and eat 1600 you store 100 calories for later. Remember 3500 calories equals 1lb of fat. to lose wt you…

You need to increase your metabolism! For every lb of muscle you gain you will burn 40-70calories at rest.. Gain ten lbs your now burning 400-700 more calories a day.. Most ppl think their metabolism slow down with age, it does not. Your muscles atrophy with disuse. Thus you can eat the same thing and gain wt. gaining or…

No you do not need to eat more.. As long as you are eating three good meals a day and getting your calories above 1200 you will not enter starvation mode.. When you workout it will create a larger deficit and your body will have to turn to fat (stored calories) to get the rest of the nutrients you need. feel free to look…

Its a good way to supplement your protein intake when reducing your calories so you dont lose muscle.. General rule of thumb is 1-1.5 grams of protein per kilo of bodyweight
