  • 2 thoughts after looking at your diary - 1) you seem to be having something carby at every meal - maybe try to eliminate that from at least one meal, and add your yolks back in - thats good fats! 2) don't stop the strength training, I think that is most important.

  • You can also use the broiler in the oven - I often time just move the rack up higher and throw a steak or whatever directly on the oven rack. Broiling and grilling are basically the same thing. Make sure to put a cookie sheet or piece of foil under whatever you are broiling if its gonna be leaking fat or juices out (any…

  • I've had 2 discectomies in the lumbar. For me the key is constant work on keeping my ab muscles tight - meaning without using my breath to do it I keep my belly sucked in at all times that I can think about it.
