Use isolates if you are just taking protein post-workout. Most proteins nowadays are combination proteins (egg, milk, whey isolate/concentrate), and they rock. Whoever suggested Visalus is hilarious. Visalus is the most overpriced junk you could buy. Why do they not sell it in supplement stores? It wouldn't sell when it is…

You're fine stopping everything all at once, you will just feel like crap. It's not like you are stopping a prescription anxiolytic and are going to bust out into grand mal seizures. There's probably going to be some trouble as your neurotransmitters adjust. Eventually, you will feel like crap when you eat bad food.

I'm not arguing semantics. I answered his question, and your assumption/argument that cheat days help your long term goals is a logical fallacy. You are drawing conclusions from relationships that are meaningless. The whole "do whatever works for you" sentiment is cute, but it doesn't help the OP, nor answer his question.…

Saying that it helps you sustain a long term caloric deficit is something that you cannot substantiate. Hinder - to cause delay, interruption, or difficulty in; hamper; impede: The storm hindered our progress. A cheat day does indeed delay, interrupt, and cause immediate difficulty in weight loss progress, simply by a…

If you said cheat meal, I would think you might still be able to stay within your goal of caloric intake, but a cheat day implies you are not going to reach your goal. So, to answer your last, and most important question...yes, they do hinder weight loss progress.

....you can't. Just do the best you can? Lots of chicken/fish, and a lot of protein powder. Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) might be good for keeping some muscle on too. And if they aren't, they taste like kool-aid, are calorie-free (Xtend), cost around 50 cents for a serving, and have other benefits. I eat quest bars…

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=337536 A good link about g/protein a day. 1-2g/lb a day. Probably closer to 1.5-2g. Creatine will probably help keep some muscle on. You will gain some water weight, but there is no reason to be alarmed by that.

I had 7 a couple days ago....yesterday I had 4.

Haha, okay, I think I get it now.

That is like saying ice cream is good for your health because it increases HDL, and ignoring that it increases LDL as well. You aren't using every health parameter, you are using the ones that fit your argument.

That is a logical fallacy. This explains it pretty well. The fallacy has two specific types: ‘after this, therefore because of this’ and ‘with this, therefore because of this.’ With the former, because an event precedes another, it is said to have caused it. With the latter, because an event happens at the same time as…

Whoa whoa, it does not disprove anything. To disprove that Mcdonalds makes your health worse, you would have to give Mcdonalds to a group of healthy people, with a caloric amount equivalent to their current diets, without any other change to their lifestyles, and then you could go on the prove or disprove claims from…

The post is worded to draw a correlation between McDonalds and improvement in health. It is a correlation, and not a causation. Simply.... He says the way he improved his health was by eating McDonalds 5 times a week. The way he probably improved his health was by weight loss and exercise. This is, exactly, the definition…

Figured out how to quote! The good point it makes is that it shows you can lose weight with a calorie deficit. The bad point it makes is that McDonalds will improve your health. I realize you weren't being serious, which is why I say it is misleading instead of bogus.

That before/after health graph and pictures are misleading.
