I eat 8oz of greek yogurt 1/2cup of all bran and a touch of honey for breakfast, and it keeps me filled up for a while for only 243 C and 28g of protein, plus the all bran swells if you drink anything. The other thing I would get rid of the tortillas, they are ridiculously calorie dense. So more fiber and more fat/protein…

Can I ask why you cannot eat a sandwich while you walk?

They look considerably different. If you weight more it is probably more muscle and less fat. They have different densities. Also every female I have see lifts way too light. It is not like you are going to get bulky put some iron in your diet.

Time and water, you can make your abs stronger but the skinny fat look goes away when the extra skin goes away, and that can take two years.

I have what has been described as a pancake butt and it can hurt without some meat between the ground and the bones. They make pad for football players that include a tail bone pad that may keep you from wearing a hole in your back side.

Our hospital is now enjoying "The Good Life" also fries cost $8. I don't think we have a choice anymore.

Sounds like tendonitis or a repetitive strain injury which means doctor time. See a qualified doctor, it will be cheaper in the long run, and your arms wont hurt as much. There is a reason why your elbows hurt, whether it is a tear or swelling, joint pain is one of those thing you don't want to be wrong on.

Not to be construed with medical advice see a qualified doctor. Do you get the clickys in the knees too. There are a billion reasons why from tendon problems to meniscus tears. I find that the elliptical hurts more than the treadmill because it keeps the knee in one plane. See a doctor, try the rowing machine, and RICE the…

The last time I need to talk to that specific person.

There is no such thing as spot reduction. However squatting works the bum for tone. So it is a good thing to squat but it probably wont do much good or bad for the old back side for a while. Though as body fat% goes down tone you have works so hard on will be on display.

Runners Diarrhea is not uncommon. Let us all remember Paula Radcliffe.

You mean testosterone precursors like cholesterol, or what? What does 10-15lbs of muscle mass mean, just larger or do you want to shift more weight? I was always told you get larger by lifting larger but that may be nonsense.

So 100lbs looking to go to 92 at 5'1". Scary thoughts there. But as for changing body composition, you can cut the fat, which you don't have, or make more muscle. So perhaps it is time to put some Iron in your diet, and lift. Women cannot get bulky so have at it. The treadmill is not your friend the squat rack is. Be…

I cannot recommend starting strength enough. Also google Rippetoe for the youtubes, very good stuff there. Just get after it, lifting is much more fun than the treadmill I assure you. Just make sure you follow all the steps, it is not enough to just pick it up and put it down there are techniques and warm ups that will…

If you are peeing at least 2 liters it all sort of become moot. Real the problems mount when get chronic dehydration plus Atkins and then you get major stones, and remember that was only a 6 week study. I am not saying that not to eat large amounts of protein, just to make sure you are drinking more water. As they suggest…

When you metabolize proteins you throw off uric acid, which is excreted by your kidneys, when your urine PH drops the uric acid can make stones as it falls out of suspension or it pushes the calcium oxalate out of suspension. These collect and make kidney stones, and give you an unhappy face. Forgot the reference…

I have a sweet tooth as well, but artificial sweeteners all come with problems. Aspartame, gives your brain cancer, and the sugar alcohols (xylitol etc) gives you diarrhea. Something like splenda isn't that bad but it all comes back to why does everything need to be so sweet. If you've got the 'Betes or are pre diabetic,…

I have crap knees as well. May I suggest the rowing machine. Swimming is great but it can be a faff. Keep your movements controlled lots of calories and full body work out. Two birds no keen pain. Best thing I have ever done.

DRINK WATER. Healthy or not kidneys dealing with more than 30% of your daily calories in protein get unhappy, and when they get unhappy you get stones, and when you get stones you regress to being 2 complete with the crying. Do not get stones it is not a good look.

It is not where you start but where you end up. Make sure to warm up though, I have rough knees and it definitely takes a few body weight squats to get into the grove before even stepping to the bar. Also if you tense your abs on the way up you can shift more weight. I tend to say "up" and tense the mid section; it seems…

Make sure you are well hydrated, sleeping well enough, and see a doc if it lasts too long. There are a billion reasons why you would have that run over by a truck feeling, from garden variety depression, Thyroid problems, a whole host of things. It could even be mono. If you gave up caffeine for the new year the withdrawal…

Every day, you can always throw out the rubbish ones.

The ihealth scale is $79. It is nice to have a graph and it is something to be accountable to.

I guess the No's have it. But let us go through all of the maths. I assumed you were 5'6" you may be 7' but thats what I assumed So your BMR is 1950 calories, that is if you were comatose you would burn 1950 calories. So if you wanted to loose 2 lbs a week that would be 1000 calorie deficit so 950 calories, assuming you…

Just start with the suggested ones. Some people do 50% carbs and 25% for protein and fats, but it all depends on what your goals are. And you can always ask your GP if you have a particular health concern. I wouldn't exceed 30% on your protein or you will have to drink a tonne of water to keep the kidneys healthy. (kidney…

The My Fitness Pal is like AA, it works if you give into it. Just be religious about putting it all in and get a proper kitchen scale, and it is a no brainer. Good luck though, and you are allowed to laugh at the people who say things like "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" they are just rubbish cooks.

The only thing I can offer, is you must give in to the computer. It is a bit tron but if you do everything the computer says it will work. That means putting the app on your phone and being religious about it. For the psychology part there are some who would recommend a half day fast when you start just to remind yourself…

"John" nice, short, sweet, does not confer any political preference etc. and the obligatory "ron paul 2012"
