I would tell my mom to move our family back to Germany instead of to Texas.

So it's cruel to kill animals but not fish? #FishAreFriendsNotFood

I don't eat meat because personally the thought of putting dead flesh in my mouth if horrifying. I've been this way since I was a kid, and I didn't know about the treatment of the animals. It just feels unnatural and wrong. I don'r care if anyone else eats meat, but i never will.

Where can you find them?

I have never even heard of black bean noodles but I really want to try them now!

I'm already your friend but thanks for sharing a little about you! :)

Having a strong core will help a lot once you start lifting really heavy. Targeting the abs isn't going to make them more visible until you lower your bf%, but there are plenty of other benefits. :)

Maybe you could try adding some natural honey to your tea? Refined sugars and artificial sweeteners are laden with chemicals. If you are not worried about that and are looking at it from a strictly calorie point of view then sweeter is fine. If you want to avoid the more processed stuff, I would recommend looking for some…

Wouldn't this be a pretty significant sign that your diet is not ideal?

My 2 favorite bands on my running playlist are Halestorm and The Pretty Reckless. Look em up!

Um... Studies aside.... I am proof that this is wrong. I eat hundreds of grams of sugar every day from fruit and I am in pretty good shape and not dead. :)

You need to make sure you only breathe CLEAN air! Don't touch any air that has been processed or has ingredients you can't pronounce!

Cookie dough quest bars are addictive.

You can disagree with her lifestyle all you want but you can't deny that she looks amazing. :)

Almost makes me regret being a vegan. ALMOST.

Look up Freelee the Banana Girl then tell me if bananas are fattening or not.

Ask the head trainer at your gym if you can interview the different trainers and see which one you like best.

There are unique exceptions, but for the most part, I would personally prefer a personal trainer who has gone through the motions and put in the work they are asking of their clients. If I met a personal trainer who was out of shape due to unforeseen circumstances but was very knowledgeable, I would train with them in a…

The only thing you need to become a personal trainer is a passing grade on an exam. You don't have to meet any kind of physical requirements. I have watched in horror as overweight personal trainers take their clients around the gym and let them use horrible form and totally mislead them. From a selling perspective, in…

I wish I had some good answers to this, my bf has bad knees and would be interested to hear some of the stuff that people can come up with so he can no longer avoid lower body training.

What happens when you travel into a different time zone?! How will I know when to stop enjoying my delicious fruit?!

Long story short, you're fine.

Why are you weighing yourself at all? If you really want to recover you need to trash the scale, not count calories, and get some help from a psychologist.

I don't know anything about the science behind low carb diets... But I do know that I would be a cranky beast from hell if I ever had to be on one. I eat 300g+ of carbs every day and still enjoy fitness, vitality, and weight loss.

NEWSFLASH: No one cares what gets you stiff, honey.

Check out my before and after picture. I was a vegetarian in both of them. It is not synonymous with healthy. I had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and all sorts of junk and I have never eaten meat in my life.

Any diet that demonizes fruit, which is a plant that actually grows out of the earth, in favor of meat and dairy is crap. A balanced diet that includes a little of everything is the best way to get all the nutrition your body needs to function. Do you want to be skinny or healthy?

As a vegetarian I often had to order off the kids menu, like a grilled cheese or something. They really aren't that strict about it. I've gotten some weird looks but no one has ever rejected my order or told me I had to order off the regular menu.

Maybe more then 1 banana?

Who are you asking? lol
