Peanut butter, dark chocolate, cinnamon and flaxseed. Yum

I had 3, repeat, 3 chocolate chip muffins yesterday. So what? As long as it's not everyday, it's fine. Get back on track and do an extra workout, sorted.

I shower twice a day, wash my hair in the morning before work (after workout) and condition only after gym, before bed. It works for me. I'm using Aussie Miracle moist shampoo and conditioner, and after washing in the morning a also use maroccan oil. :flowerforyou: Edited to add: Dont use hair dryer after conditioning in…

crusty bread. Thats how I eat them :happy:

Counting calories sucks :explode:

Watch this lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqDqrG7DyjU&feature=youtube_gdata_player I cant get it. Maybe you like looking at your naked body but dont force it on anyone else. It makes me very uncomfortable. What is wrong with a towel?

Just embarassed myself loughing out loud in my office! hillarious!

Berry - thanks for the links! Nice plan. Do I have to stick to it rigidly? Could I swap rest days for Sundays and do crosstraining on Fridays? or is there a specific reason to rest after 3 days of running? Thanks everyone for the advice. I've got my motivation back! I will try my hardest to do it! Related question, how do…

First, running doesnt build muscle, it actually burns muscle. You are losing inches because you are losing fat, and you arent losing lbs because of water retention. Exercise does that.

Ugh gross, especially the magot... My experiences: Funnily enough, Dominos pizza too. There was a thik, black & curly hair in it. It was not from a head, that much was obvious. Haven't been there since. Also, Morissons cafe (UK). I found a 2 inch catepillar in my peas. That was the end to my bangers and mash there. I find…

I'll be trying this for sure!

Thank you :flowerforyou:

Sure, I like to debate. But not when it starts with :I'm calling it BS. Unless you prove me wrong, I'm right. :laugh: Of course it could be high intensity exercise. But I assumed, and it may be my mistake, that walking to work would not be high intensity. It's not like it''s done for the sole purpose of exercising. Unless…

The OP walks 3.4 mph. And she lives in Surrey. Thats what told me. You are obviously looking to pick a fight, I suggest you find someone else. And before you start questioning something "google" it. And besides, you stated "I'd log the exercise(30 DS and Jogging) but not the walking to work." Thats the same advice I gave.…

*sigh* Here you go: (http://www.thewalkingsite.com/thr.html) TRAINING ZONES Healthy Heart Zone (Warm up) --- 50 - 60% of maximum heart rate: The easiest zone and probably the best zone for people just starting a fitness program. It can also be used as a warm up for more serious walkers. This zone has been shown to help…

Dont log you walking. Walking is low intensity exercise, which meant 80% of calories burnt comes from fat. Why would you want to replace that? And take about 75% of mfp estimation for calories burnt, as they are way overestimated. 30DS burns about 150-200 cal, and a slow jog round the block about a 100. That would give you…

Actualy, not in this case. Google both and you see all images are pretty much the same. It's shocking... I think living a happy life makes us look better. And living on tofu and goji berries isnt going to makes us happy. Chocolate, on the other hand... lol, I think I need to re-think my lifestyle! :laugh:

" The Cheater’s Diet is based on eating healthy meals and snacks from Monday to Friday and then “cheating” from 9 a.m. on Saturday to 9 p.m. on Sunday night. In fact, the Cheater’s Diet not only includes normally forbidden foods for dieters, but actually requires them. “The Cheater’s Diet says you must cheat on weekends to…

I seem to have created an unnecessary argument here. The OP asks how to reduce BF%. Not build muscle. So no bulking/cutting stages. If you want to build muscle, reduce cardio, eat a lot and lift heavy. If you want to lose fat, increase cardio (not too crazy though, an hr a day seem to be ok), eat a lot (but still in a…

No, you cant do both. But you can burn fat, if thats your goal. There should only be one goal at the time, it's either burn fat, or build muscle. If you do them together, you will normally fail in both.

If I were to create a 500cal deficyt through diet only (to lose 1lb a week), I would be eating 1100 cals. Now, that would suck. One size doesnt fit all. If you dont eat, you arent getting nutritients your body needs. When you exercise, you burn calories, not vitamins & minerals you get from food.

Quoting Tom Venuto, one of the best natural bodybuilders, author of "Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle": "If I was overweight I would be doing cardio twice a day, maybe more" He suggests lifting heavy weights every other day, and cardio every day, or even twice a day. He doesnt look like he doesnt have any muscle, now does he?…

Eat more. Calculate your maintenance calories (including exercise) and then reduce it by 10-15%. Then stick with it. You can try calorie cycling or carb cycling too.

You seem to be very anti-cardio. Can I ask why is that?

Starting insanity on Monday. I have done it before and it's awesome :bigsmile:

Try cheat day followed by a fast day. I hear it's the best way. I could never do it - a day with no food? No thanks.

^ same here. The Burn the fat feed the muscle is the best bit of information I have read about fitness/nutrition, and I have read quite a lot.
