Try protein shakes. Combat powder makes a high protein low calorie shake. Have one every two or three hours. Kills hunger.

Hola. If you eat simple carbs they are stored in water. 1 gram of carbs is stored in 3 times as much water. Try to limit simple carbs to immediately after a tough workout only. This is why when you fast you lose a lot of water, the energy is spent and the water it is stored in is let go. Once you realize this they become…

Yes after poopsies. Its important to know where you stand. I give myself 5 lbs leeway for cycle. If I go over its time to change something.

Here is what I think. Women unless you are super tall or super huge (no offence) are lucky to lose 1lb of fat a week. Lucky! It's more like .5. You retain water during ovulation for a week and your period for a week. Give or take. Water aint a changing the measurements or scale in a good way! In your first year of weight…

I wish I could get everyone to understand that there are three laws to thermodynamics. And that calories deficit does not work for everyone. If you are 50 lbs overweight, and that is just a loose gauge, there is a good change a calorie deficit will not work. Period. Nerd Fitness (coined for people who program or sit a lot…

weight and everything are the same on app and site. No reason for the difference.

I use a heart rate monitor and my phone app will tell me 286 calories burned and when it posts to MFP with the MFP app, the calories it logs are different, No reason for it. Same HR monitor. same app and site. complete BS

Hey I had the same problem. You are young but it will make you start packing on LBS annually. I tried everything. The only thing that worked for me was a formula I had to piece together after 7 diets. I went to the doc and got all my bloodwork done and am supervised, ish. You wake up full of hormones, (insulin is a…

WOW keep up the great work! Congrats!

None of that stuff worked for me. I had been eating a deficit for months and working out and my body held onto the fat. I was insulin resistant. I moved to PSMF and then tailored it to my own body. I fasted as long as I could each day min 16 hours, and then ate in a 6 hour window only. It stands for protein sparing…

You are less insulin sensitive at night. Try working out at night with weights and then chowing down on your sweets then. Technically your muscles should absorb all the sugar. Obviously don't do this everyday but its a trick body builders use.

PSMF google it.

Ha! Awesome. It works for me down here in the Florida Keys where every hour is a happy hour.

Uh Ya same problem. Nowdays I get super hung over... Man I hate it. Plus then I eat crap I never would put in my mouth if sober... bah I am not going to suggest you are an alchy. I think by definition we all probably are. If you are avoiding it or drinking it... That aside- A couple of tricks. 1) Load up on protein first.…

Bingeing which is what happened when you don't change your lifestyle and only restrict yourself. most people do not know what a balanced meal is or how often you should feed.

Some people change and some people do not.

You can do it! I am happy to be pals with anyone who is needing support. I struggled for over a year until I found out what works for me. There are four things that work when you have a LOT of weight to lose. You will be hard pressed to lose without them. Good luck you can do it! Add me as a friend. XOXOXO Its going to be…

I eat every 2 to 3 hours. I aint easy... But... Milk makes it kind of easy. Carbs protein fat and calories. Protein shakes with some honey in em Brown rice in a rice cooker is pretty easy. You can eat on a tub of brown rice all day and that really adds up. There I fixed it. Old school builders just did a gallon of milk a…

My back was killing me until I bought a gawd what was it called. sleep innovations mattress on Amazon. Freaking amazing. Also stretching for at least 10 count in the am really made a difference. I am sure you already know how important good shoes are.

I have frozen veggies on my knees and shins every time I do HIT which is everyday now since I am discovering how fast it melts the fat off my butt.

I am between 6' and 5'10 around 100 to lose if you believe the thingy. Holy hell how did that happen? I have tried everything and it just kept packing on. Then-I got the old heartrate monitor for Xmas in early December. I have been exercising at least once a day for 20 minutes since December and I hadn't lost a thing. I…

Your guts will reach a point where they dump it. Literally. Everything you have eaten out the eye of a needle. I started taking hemp protein. Love it. But I did what I always do. I think even more is better. So instead of two servings a day I did 3 servings before noon one day. Today actually... I spent the rest of the day…
