Eat the food available. Unless you are eating out every meal of the day and just living a terrible diet, what the big deal about eating a meal out with your friends/family? You will not gain weight from eating one meal out. Yeah there may be extra sodium so added water retention but that is temporary. Who cares? Your…

Dont beat yourself up over enjoying a day with friends celebrating the best time of your friends life. Even a couple of really bad days of high caloric intake cannot destroy what you are doing in the long haul. Don't make yourself pay unless its something you either challenged yourself to or are involved in some kind of…

Its really easy to do. Go into the recipe section and measure/weigh all your stuff and put it in the ingredients list and let the MFP magicians tell you exactly what you are eating.

This link will take you to a workout that will clear the air and keep you away from confusion! This is for people like you and I that are brand new in the gym and need simple guidance to get through the work out. http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/jason-blaha-ice-cream-fitness-5x5-novice-workout This guy, Jason…

Also, FORGET that BS clean stuff!!!!! Fit your intake into your macro account and make it as wholesome as you can. I hate salad and most veggies, so guess what. I take several different types of complex vitamins daily along with added fiber to make my goals. I eat asparagus and broccoli but otherwise I really don't like…

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, nope not even a little bit. Yes each person has a metabolic rate that is different than the next persons but the simple fact remains the same! You want to lose weight/inches. Work hard in the gym, HIIT cardio, lift heavy stuff and put it back down and do that over and over and over…

If you are not making the gains/losses you want to you need to check into your routine! If your bmr is 2000kcal/day and with activity your actual caloric burn daily is say 3200kcal, then 1500 cals is starvation mode to your body! You will not be happy with results because you are not eating enough to tell your body it is…

I am sorry for the loss of your father. It is horrible to lose a parent! However, I have to ask you where your evidence of we are the "sickest" generation ever comes from? We as a culture are living longer than at any other time in human history with the exception of pre-flood (if you are a bible believer) humans. I am all…

The obvious answer would be a pinched nerve. Was this numbness/tingling bilateral or in one arm/hand only? Regardless of the answer, you are going to have to try again and see if it happens again. If it does, it is time to readjust what you are doing and make an appt with your doctor for some kind of radio-logical exam.…

Anyone from the Syracuse area will know what a Coney is, so I am having a Coney, Bush's grilln beans burbon flavor, and Nathan's french fries. This is not one of my better meal choices but I have been killing it in the gym and I am in the mood for some tasty food plus my wife isn't home and so I am eating for one. My…

So since the fact that Whey is fast acting and Casein is slow acting has been addressed already I will address the taste difference. For the sake of keeping the comparison equal I will use milk as my liquid of choice in mixture and chocolate as my flavor of choice Second caveat: I use Optimum Nutrition products exclusively…

If you are looking for excellent taste and not too awfully worried about carbs. Syntha 6 protein is unreal! Its like 22g protein and 8 or 10 grams of carbs. Yes it is a primary protein source but OMG OMG OMG it literally tastes like a chocolate milk or a milkshake. Personally I stay away from all flavors but chocolate and…

Nope, I want her to be happy and healthy. I don't push my desire on her but I sure have an opinion and she does as well. We both enjoy the other very much. My wife is not a person that has ever been a size 3 and personally, I would be more turned off than on by that. I do not go much for the teeny tiny little momma. Yup,…

Being completely honest with you, I am happy that my wife is getting healthy and losing weight but I sure would not want her to get below what she has set as her goal weight. She will still be considered "obese" by the letter of the law for lack of a better term but she will be smoking hot and curvy at the same time.…

BINGO, your body cannot hold up against that kind of punishment. In the short term, VLCD will slow down your metabolism and actually go really wrong for what is being desired. When the mind is stronger than the metabolism and VLCD is maintained, the body loses and you get super skinny. That has been the point each time.…

Did you read the entire section you quoted? I actually address the 3rd world people on ultra low caloric intake. Its like the anorexic physique. The body cannot win that battle but here in the NOT 3rd world, where food is readily available and people have choice, the body wins over and over. Look at the streets where you…

The sad truth about doctors and nutrition is that they are taught only the very basic minimum amount needed to say they were taught nutrition. As an RN the nutrition coursework I have had is actually identical to what they are required. Basically one class. If you have the means, hiring a personal coach/nutritionist will…

Metabolic damage is really a misnomer. Yes you do slow down your metabolism and make it do bad things but Layne has been proven wrong on many levels. He has used biased study methods, has had his studies get poor reviews in peer review process. I am not saying that Layne is a bad person or anything like that, he has helped…

Pain is growth. If you wait until you are out of pain to before you train again, you wont be training but maybe 3 or 4 times a month. You need to do the pilates class or whatever other training you plan on doing. Personally I train 6 days a week, I am in the midst of cutting weight/fat and so I do cardio 6 days a week and…

We make tin foil packets with fresh asparagus,fresh green beans, onions, peppers, garlic and then a carb of some kind, tonight will be sweet potato and white potato and then a meat of some kind, tonight its italian chicken sausage. Bake in the oven on 350 for about an hour and enjoy. One of my favorite meals.

I like curves!!!!! I am infatuated with my wife's curves. She has taken off 44lbs in the past 3.5 months and OMG she is looking so sexy its crazy!! She is 5' 3" and was >240#. She was beginning to look a little bit bad but still attracted me. I know her chest size is 38DD and man oh yeah that is perfection. Pant size is…

The biggest problem I see with this whole thing is the "alkalizing" foods. If you have even a basic understanding of the human anatomy and physiology you know that no matter how much acidic or caustic food you put in your body, (unless you are a diabetic or have another serious medical condition) you cannot ever change…

Make sure you weigh everything. Drink water, drink water, drink water, drink water, drink water!!!!!!! And if I didn't mention it, drink water!! I know it sounds crazy but if you want to eat more, you have to exercise more. As an example, I wear the bodymedia fit calorie/activity burn calculator thing on my arm all day…

I don't and I have been gaining muscle and losing fat each week for the past few weeks. When I first started the diet I was eating way too little, like 1300 to 1700 each day and burning an estimated 3400 each day and actually maintained or got fatter. Now I am eating about 2200 to 2500 each day and burning about 3800 -…

Not even a little bit, in fact I kinda find myself attracted to women in glasses. I may be biased because I wear glasses myself but I really don't care. As long as the girl has a nice, modern pair of specs on and they look good on her. I like them. My wife is super sexy and wears glasses and now that we are both in mid…

Yes yes yes! I have tried several times to eat the stuff, I just don't like it! Maybe if I used it in a stir fry or something but not with salt, pepper, and butter. Its just horrible (IMO) The best thing you can do is go spend a couple bucks on a bag of it and cook it. Just remember it doesn't cook like white rice, it…

I've tasted the chocolate flavor and it was pretty good! Thick and super chocolaty! I don't use it but one of the phlebotimists where I work uses it exclusively. I have heard that most of the flavors except for the chocolate taste like *kitten*. I don't know, I have no experience with any other flavor than the chocolate.…

I don't think I could be any more serious about it. I drink 2 to 2.5 gallons of water per day. When I first started in the gym, I was cramping from the first press. It was horrible, I was trying to take potassium and mag and thinking man, I got all kinds of problems, yeah I did. I didn't drink enough water. Since I started…

Squats (weighted and even body weight squats) Ab exercises will also help to tighten them inner thighs up. Raising your legs and doing like scissors kicks, and then of course the end all be all....... Running When I started going to the gym 2 months ago, my inner thighs were a wreck! In 2 months of running, and having a…

245lbs @ 5; 10"
