Yes and No. there was a study done by researchers regarding carb vs protein intake with two groups of women. Same # of calorie restriction, same duration, same conditions. Both groups lost the SAME amount of weight; however.... carb group women ended up with noticeably more body fat % than the protein group %. Also, blood…

Depends how much you weigh now. If you weigh 250 + pounds/female and you just started doing bootcamp/weight lifting, you will put on weight at first. Your muscles being sore is because you're overworked and it's repairing itself. Your muscles will hoard a lot of water. Most of that 13 lbs is water weight. You will see…

You want to look good in your wedding dress(measurements) or just lose weight ? Two completely diff things. You can lose just 10-20 lbs in 6 months and look great in a wedding dress if you eat/ cardio/strength train properly vs lose 50-60 lbs in 6 months by being hungry, no proper training regimen, and look small but all…

You don't have to do pullups to get better at pullups. You can just do bent over rows(diff grips/variations) with 0 vertical muscle training and still improve signifiantly at deadhang pullups. Proof? I'm 6 feet 245 lbs. I could do 0 strict pullup 4 months ago. Now I can do 6 strict chest to bar pullups and 8-10 strict…

Same logic as using machines vs free weights. Lat pull down machine doesn't work the small stabilizer muscles. For eg. No core stability required on the machine. You sit down and pull down. For bar pullups, you need to have your core tight and engaged. Just one example of many

Iron deficiency from diet. Pound back some vitamins

Workout for 15 minutes a day. Have you tried doing air squats for 15 minutes non stop? It's almost impossible and your legs will burn. You don't have to go to the gym for 1 hour or walk on the treadmill for 1 hour. You just need to 'elevate' your heart rate for 15 minutes with almost 0 break. These are called AMRAP(As many…

You should first try to learn from your mistakes, or else it will happen again. Why did you gain 60 lbs back? Did you lose weight too fast at first? Did you reach your goal weight, relax, and let it go? Unexpected stress/circumstance? Be as open and honest about it.

Whenever you mention 'low' calories or extremely low ones, people freak out. I, myself, don't eat as low as you because I do a lot of olympic/power lifting and plymetrics. I only eat, however, around 1900 - 2200kcal, which is quite low for the 2 + hours I put in daily of mobility/plyo/circuit/HIIT at 6 foot 245 lbs. I am…

Even with oatmeals, if you care, there are not all the same... Healthiness level from 1 -> 3. 1. Steel-cut oats are whole groats chopped up. These take longer to cook, contain more of their original nutrients, and taste nuttier than regular oats. 2. Rolled oats are steamed groats that have been rolled out and flattened. 3.…

Obviously #1 is diet. You can just diet properly and never exercise and look 'fit'. If you're trying to tone and look good, you don't need the treadmill. Go on a clean diet with lower carbs(since you're not doing cardio, you won't need much) and do power yoga/pilates. Given your goal, that looks like a better fit for you.…

A good boyfriend would tell his g/f that 'detox' and 'cleansing' are bad and that she's perfect... Then order pizza and wings + beer

I was doing heavy squats and I farted super loud. I put the weight back on the rack and pretended like nothing happened. but everybody knew.... :(

As for snacks/food try Korean foods... my favourite diet food is BI BIM BAP 150g brown rice(cooked), tons of spinach, tons of sprouts, tons of mushrooms, 50g 90% lean ground beef, Chinese spicy sauce. Mix it in a big bowl. You have a filling 400kcal , healthy meal. Also look up HWE DUP BAP. Same concept except you do it…

Depends on what kind of carb it is.... Best choices are complex carbs like white rice, brown rice, steel oat meal, etc. or those from fruits + veggies. ---- If you just cut out the bread(whole grain or multigrain, doesn't matter), and replace it with brown rice, you'll see a big diff.

Yes, you're fine. Don't worry about muscle mass/lean body mass for now since it seems like you are not exercising and using diet as a main means to lose weight. Everybody's different. You don't need to eat 1800 or 2kcal / day even if someone at your 'goalweight' needs that amount to maintain their weight. You might need…

You MUST work out and lift weights if you like beer and bar food like me. If you choose to cut down calories and just diet without exercise, then you MUST give up beer and bar food while you diet and stick to it. Simple as that. You seem to enjoy going out with friends/drinking beer/eating bar food while watching a good…

Don't worry about losing muscle mass, unhealthy, etc. if you feel fine. You can lose all the muscle you have and gain it back later. Your metabolism won't be 'ruined' permanently. Human bodies are extremely resisiliant and adapts to changes. It's designed to 'survive'. Just listen to your body and if you can do it, do it.…

You don't have to eat food for months and just live off water and salt tablets. People get trapped under rocks and live for weeks/months just off water. You won't die. continue

Ok fine, real one was when I blacked out from a night of drinking and woke up beside a troll. zing

Perhaps I should edit what I meant: 'eating back ALL of the calories mentioned by MFP is not productive' 1. MFP calories burnt are not accurate and often overexaggerated 2. thus, if you eat back your 'exercise' calories, you will tend to eat more than what you actually burnt. ---- That's what I meant

Just like OP said I wish somebody can do my laundry, clean the bathroom, cook me food.... wait, is that a maid? lol

If you are doing this for some short-term goal like fitting in a wedding dress, etc, you will eventually fail.... seen it many times

If you grossly underestimate how many calories you burn and jot it down, yes. Even HRM doesn't reflect the calories burnt accurately and there's no way you can accurately measure the 'afterburn' throughout the day. For example, I am a 245 lbs 6 foot male. I do crossfit for 1 hour, I jot it down as '15 min/circuit…

you burn 12 - 16 kcal/min moderate - intense exercise at crossfit. 1 hour crossfit, you spend about 40 min warming/stretching and only the last 10-20 min doing WoD I put it in as CIRCUIT TRAINING (15 - 20 min) - about 250 kcal for me. That's about 15 - 20 min of WoD(general). fits the bill.
