I just started with Pro Nutra Fit 15 (protein powder) It contains 1 gram of sugar, also Milk and Soy, as well as some artificial flavors. Does that mean there is "Added" sugar? or is this a natural Sugar?

I have hypothyroid hashimotos and I MAY be insulin resistant ( I crave sugar throughout the day and i feel very tired and terrible when I don't get it but instantly better when I do) Well, I cut back on my sugar almost completely, besides having fruit like once a week and my protein shake contains one gram of sugar, which…

I feel like previously I did eat a good big of carbs and not the good ones ( Bread, etc). A big bread eating right here. and now that I cut that out, I find that ia'm eating wayyyy less, because i depended on bread so much. But I will try and fill up all those calories with the items you all have mentioned, because i'am…

Well Im going gluten free and right now im eating either a yogurt or egg white for breakfast, salad for lunch, and some type of meat with a veggie at dinner or another salad

what about Soy?

I have hypothyroid hashimotos. I'am 25 yrs old, no kids and im taking 75 mg of levy. (the big long word ill spell incorrectly) for my thyroid. I have a small to medium frame but my stomach is huge. I feel like its literally bigger than my entire body, as if im pregnant. Not sure if its a bread issue, dairy issue, or sugar…

since I have hypothyroid/hashimotos, which also could be the whole reason i have excessive belly fat, I should be eating all Gluten free foods...

Yes im working on this. What is your take on breads and dairy?

why bread and diary? I eat light yogurt every morning and have for the past couple months.. and i eat whole wheat bread maybe one or twice a week.

What are good examples of strength training that i can follow at the gym?

lol obviously by the photo, not doing great at all... for cardio, I do a mixture of walking/ running and using the eliptical machine at the gym. I don't know much about strength training or weight lifting though.. havent used free weights yet, so far using the weight lifting machines and after doing a quick warm up, i try…

this looks way too hard to get rid of image hosting adult

I always thought ANY kind of lifting was for arms and legs

How excatly does strength training/heavy lifting burn fat? when doing excerises like Crunches are useless if fat is already there...

this is pretty bad http://tinypic.com/r/28bwmf5/8

also forgot to mention i have a thyroid problem and currently taking 75mg of levothyroxine . Curious if this will effect my weight loss. I mean so far the weight is coming off good, except in my stomach. wont move an inch.

what i described above is just how im starting off, since im new at lifting in general, i plan to increase reps, sets and weight being lifted sooner than later. Not even looking for abs, my goal was to get some fat and lose some inches off my belly in a month. I was doing the heavy lifting to lose fat..not get abs.

Well, been at a calorie deficent for a few months now, i continue to lose weight and but not belly fat. and even at my lowest weight I still have a belly

Looking for advice from any female that has effectively lost body fat & stomach fat and tactics they used or recommend to others to star this process (what calorie deficent and carb/protein/fat daily intake)

I'm 4'11 and currently weight 135lbs.....

I'am having diffculty with the carb/protein/fat ratio as well

decided to up my calories from 1200 to 1500. but still have no idea what my carb, protein and fat intake should be/...

My BMR is around 1,400 ish. I do have a desk job where im sitting all day and than work out in the evening atleast 4 times a week. So Do I really need to up my calories?

how much per day? I know eating carbs all day long is not a good thing...

what about Carbs?
