  • Try taking Melatonin, worked for me. http://well.ca/products/jamieson-melatonin-5-mg_32077.html?gclid=CKS9gYnH6L8CFUKCMgodlA8AFA
  • Get a Power Rack. http://www.treadmillfactory.ca/xtreme-monkey-350-power-rack
  • Over priced and over rated. Make your own shakes. What are your current goals? Tailor the ingredients to suit them.
  • Don't worry, there are other introductory programs that are a bit easier than P90X3. You'll still see results but the workouts will be geared towards your current fitness level.
  • How much time do you have between your last meal and your workout? I workout after work at about 4:30 - 5:00 pm. I drink a shaker cup of protein (30g) and eat a banana about 1 - 1.5 hours before a cardio or HIIT workout. For weight training, I move it up to about 30 mins before the workout. I then eat dinner 1.5 - 2 hours…
  • Cutting Weigh in Saturday morning. This keeps me honest Friday night. (off the booze)
  • Don't get discouraged if you can't keep pace or complete the exercise exactly like it shows in the video. As long as you're moving, you're burning calories. The endurance and stamina will come with time. Just stick with it and you'll succeed.
  • I used this calculator to determine my TDEE and had success losing weight. (205 lbs. down to 189 lbs) http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ Select no exercise (deskjob/couch potato) for your exercise level and eat 400 calories less than your TDEE. If you exercise, eat most of your exercise calories back. As for meal…
  • Without even knowing the calorie content of the bars I would say that you're drastically under eating. Eating sub BMR (Base Metabolic Rate) will cause you to have less energy. Your body needs a certain amount of calories per day to maintain the function of things like your heart, brain etc. Figure out what your TDEE (Total…
  • 7. Buy a digital food scale
  • 1% Cottage Cheese Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Whey Protein Currently doing P90X, my macros at 2400kcal are: 50% P - 300g 30% C - 180g 20% F - 53g Check out my diary, I usually hit the 300g protein mark every day.
  • A can of tonic water has 166 calories (49 g of carbs). There is, however, a diet tonic water with 0 cal.
  • It would help if you open up your diary so that we can see what you're eating.
  • Tell your friend to try T25 (Shaun T at BeachBody). Its 25 minutes of intense cardio 6 days per week. Really easy to fit into a busy schedule. T25 + calorie deficit = guaranteed weight loss
  • Just finished Alpha on Sunday. Noticed improvements in my cardio and conditioning. Lost 8 lbs and can see the difference in the mirror. Starting P90X today.
    in T25??? Comment by ericzanetti April 2014
  • Great work!
  • I had valve replacement surgery when I was 19 (10 years ago). They swapped my Aortic for my Pulmonary, transplanted a cadaver Pulmonary and put a metal ring around my Mitral valve. Recovery was slow but I wasn't motivated back then. I only started my fitness journey a few years ago. I'm currently 6'1, 195 lbs. My heaviest…
  • I quit a few years ago using the gum all while improving my diet and exercising. I actually lost 15 lbs. I got my wife on the e cigs recently, they seem to do the trick. I bought her the "E-Puffer" start kit. You can get varying doses of nicotine and flavours from the website. Shipping was super fast.…
  • Let the learning begin! Difference between simple and complex carbohydrates. http://diabetes.about.com/od/carbohydratefaq/f/typesofcarbs.htm List of lean proteins, complex carbs and healthy fats. http://bodyforlife.com/library/food-list Google is your friend.
  • You need to understand what you're eating first. Baking, broiling or grilling wont change the composition of the chicken unless you add ingredients. i.e. olive oil, butter etc. Try getting up 20 mins earlier and cooking some eggs. A routine will help you with your goals. All of the snacks you mention on their own are fine…
  • Ummmm...you're eating fatty foods. Substitute the chicken fried chicken with oven roasted boneless skinless chicken breasts. Anything fried is going to have an inordinate amount of unhealthy fats. Nix the french fries and pizza. If you want to have an omelette, try a western instead of ham and cheese. Eggs already have fat…
  • Nutrition is a big part of recovery. Are you consuming protein and carbs 30 - 45 mins before and after exercising? When I first started exercising, my body ached for days after. Now that I drink my pre and recovery shakes, I feel great the next day. Google pre/post workout nutrition. There's lots of info out there.
  • New Politics - Harlem
  • Asking for low cal protein powder kind of a funny question. Generally, protein powders are made up almost entirely protein. e.g. 1 scoop equals: 29 g protein 3 g carbs 1 g fat This means that 1 scoop is 140 calories. If you want less calories, use half of a scoop. I use Biox - All Natural Power Whey Isolate - Strawberry.…
  • Under $15 with tax at Walmart. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sunbeam-Black-Dial-Scale/10264545
  • Good idea. I had forgotten about those things. Thanks.
  • She works with allot of smokers with designated 15 minute breaks during her shift (a smoke break is almost a given). I'm worried "ready" might be never. I was lucky, there was only one other person at my company that smoked when I quit which made it a whole lot easier. Now, my entire company is smoke free.
