Muscle milk is one of the better ones

whatever u do dont get those meal replacements/ protein shakes you can find in grocery stores that come in those cans. Like slim fast and all, in my opinion they arent healthy at all haha and the nutrition facts prove it. As a life long athlete and shake drinker I'd say just stay away from the more sugary kinds that have…

I agree with this person on everything, especially on changing up your exercise routine. Instead of running, try elliptical or fast pace stair stepper, aerobics, super sets etc

My hands start to go numb sometimes. So i let go of the handles and shake em out a lil bit and it goes away. I can imagine that would be more difficult to do with your feet tho :- / i dunno

I've been a waiter for awhile, and it seems like an urban legend because you are a manager lol...it happens, at least in vegas it does!

I also used to be a competitive weight lifter, and was encouraged by my coach to eat as much protein and healthy calories as I could a day. This was back when I was 240lbs and had 6% body fat but EVERY SINGLE DAY of my senior year in high school i would buy a gallon of milk in the morning before school and I always…

I've killed 2 liters of soda in one sitting, boxes of wheat thins, entire cans of honey roasted cashews. Boxes of Froot loops w/ the lil marshmellows. Boxes of chips ahoy cookies, 4 slabs of steak in one night...I can BE...A...PIG at times

I would have definitely sent it back. I get a lot of positive attention and respect for how well I take care of myself and how closely I watch what I do to my body. And if I have to receive some negative attention for it sometimes, then so be it. I see things differently because I'm a diabetic, and if I order something low…

Thats just the beginning of dieting girl, frustrated because your always hungry, along with not (yet) seeing major improvement makes it seem like its just not worth it AT ALL. This feeling does get easier AND will eventually go away, trust me. Just be strong and keep working on making those small improvements/healthier…

Welcome to the beginning of things getting easier! BUT dont get me wrong, there will be hard times and easier times, but you will see as time goes by, it becomes second nature, and slowly but surely it will become more and more easy to stay consistent. You will fall in love with the rewards and everything else that comes…

I've been a serious competitive athlete for 9 years, there are ways to calculate how much protein someone should have a day depending on their body weight like these people have been saying. Personally, no matter what I weigh I try to get 100g over my bodyweight. Ex- if im 200lbs I'll aim for 300g of protein a day. Your…

I've been dealing with chronic depression and anxiety all my life, im actually a bit of a nut lol. I have experienced an urge to eat when I'm having one of those really bad days. What has helped me a lot is finding something you absolutely love to do and strive to be the best at whatever it may be. In my case, i like mixed…

As far as raising glucose, anyway.

I've been diabetic for 14 years now. I was taught very early that sugar and carbs have the same exact effect. Being insulin dependant, all i need to do is counter act the carbs I eat with insulin. I don't wanna say this and have you think I'm trying to convince you to "accept" it, but it might bring some peace of mind.…

Might wanna find out for sure :- )

I've lost 14lbs and I eat back my calories in fact, raising the intensity of training and calorie intake led to more weight loss. I definitely think theres a sweet spot for everyone.

cutting 15lbs of water weight every fight is difficult and quite stressful, mentally and physically. So recently, 2-3 weeks ago. I found this app on my phone and I figured I should learn better eating habits and lose unneeded fat, and at the same time make my weight cuts easier.

try to get vitamin C if u can! OJ or something ya know? If it will stay down. When im starting to feel under the weather I always take an extra vitamin C pill a day at least.

I got this stuff called 'WOWbutter' in the organic/whole foods isle at the store, and its really DAMN good lol. I'd say after getting this first jar of it I prefer it over regular peanut butter judging just by the taste, the serving size is 2 tbsp 200 calories which obviously is kinda high, it has 15g of fat, 2.5…

Probably not the best source but I take a calcium supplement everyday : )

5-6 days a week from 1 to 3 hours a day!! :) Sure does earn you the extra meals to make up for burned cals.

Thanks girls, I now feel muuuuch better about what I ate. Stakes are high tho because I literally HAVE TO weigh 185lbs by march 5th and im hovering around 195-200, its got me paranoid.

lol thank you

This is true, a radio station here in las vegas did a contest for some tickets to a concert or a show or something, and the person that drank the most water in an hour won, whoever it was that won drank (I believe) close to 2 gallons in one hour and DIED...Happened awhile back. Anyway I was wondering the same thing about…

Just a good big meal, while not paying attention to the nutrients/or if i go over my limit =) As long as things are going well and I've lost a few pounds, I think hey what the hell, I'll have a couple slices of pizza. I understand it may not be a good idea for others because it may snow ball and end up a weekly thing! But…

This guy is legit! =)

I have always felt that some form of a reward system helps, with everything in life actually. I weighed myself today and lost 6lbs since my last weigh in, I worked my @$$ off for it but hey I've lost 13 lbs in the 1 or 2 weeks I have started here. After training tonight I weighed myself and with no shame at all I've…

Ah ok I see, this may be a dumb question lol but which way do I lean? lol

Really? how does the standing on your head thing work? I can walk around on my hands for days so that will be easy for me to attempt which I will do tomorrow. Just to make sure, is it being upside down in general that does it or does my head actually need to support me as well as my hands?

LOL Thank u very much, i needed that humor and enthusiasm. You also answered a question about water retention that i've been wondering about for awhile. I always wondered if I consistently drink a lot of water am I just going to have to drop that much more water weight before weighing in? So thank you for that lil bit of…
