  • It's the same stuff you find in diet sodas and other low-cal, non-fat products. Many protein powders contain small amounts of it as well.

  • Same here. I take 1-2 tbsp of a low fat, low cal dressing and add a tbsp of white balsamic, a little dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and a little agave, black pepper, basil, and/or whatever else is around.

  • Most people who are serious lifters (concerned with significant mass and strength gains) work out 5-6 times a week, concentrating on one area. For me, because of my schedule, I lift 3 times a week and work out 2-3 areas per session. What's key is doing as many compound exercises as possible: exercises that use more than…

  • For what it's worth, all my trainer friends say as long as you stay disciplined at least 95% of the time you're fine. I know for me I'm on a 2lb/week weight loss rate and I usually end each day under my daily target caloric intake so if I ever have a "bad" day and even double my calorie target, I'll probably just maintain…

  • Tofu Lean turkey or chicken Protein shake. There are some which are low in calories, fats and carbs. However, I would opt for some pre-workout carbs. You need that energy for a workout.

  • After. Protein is key for muscle repair and recovery. Your metabolic rate is increased after a workout as well.

  • If you were losing .8/week while still eating sweets and desserts then 1.5/week is very doable. The healthiest max weight loss rate is 2lbs/week so you're good to go.

  • A few things you could try: Assisted pull-ups. Put your feet on a stool or chair underneath and slightly in front of your body as you do the pull-ups. That way you're not lifting your total body weight. Probably the best, most common overall upper body exercises are pull-ups/chin-ups, push-ups, bench presses and any…
