It should be noted that acidic food should also not be cooked in a well seasoned cast iron pan.
-
The coating/ seasoning of a cast iron pan is simply carbon from burning oil/ fat. I will put the pan on high heat for 10 minutes then drop a dollop of butter and wipe it with a paper towel until the butter has burnt in... then take it off the burner to cool. There is zero reason to use soap given the high temp will kill…

Improper calorie counting... is the likely culprit... and going below 1200 cals is a no no...

Res Firma Mitiscere Nescit... a strong resolve does not know how to weaken... from the movie American flyer... they translate it to Once you get it up keep it up... You are on the road now OP ... you can decide to start the journey and put one foot in front of the other each and every day... or start over and over ... it…

I am pushing 105 lbs on the shoulder press... to get over that hump I have begun working supplementary exercises like bicep curls and tricep extensions and a few deltoid exercises... I have also decreased weight and increased reps to overcome these plateaus... progress will be non linear...at 52 my deads are hitting 230…

If it were essy there wouldn't be an obesity issue in North America... don't fool yourself into thinking that diet is a temporary solution... regaining a healthy body weight may take years... and developing a healthy lifestyle will take just as long...hard work now and being patient and forgiving with yourself will be the…

Motivation comes from within... the carrot at the end of the stick is different for everyone... if you don't have one you won't find it out here

Continue with your current sets and reps... but add 5 lbs each session until it gets really tough... consider adding other machines... muscle imbalances will cause injury and pain
-
Consider, that with each step you take on a set of stairs is a "mini one legged squat" of your current body weight... your legs are considerably stronger than you imagine. As for goals... use your body weight as a gauge... 1/4; 1/2; 3/4... lifting will only improve your joint health (along with a balanced diet). Consider…

If your goal is to complete a marathon... stick with running... if you want to maintain your current muscle... consider lower weight with higher reps and more sets... distance running promotes development of the slow twitch muscle fibres while strength and bulk promotes fast twitch muscle fibres... each of which will give…
-
Aside from the cardio work... consider some body weight work for strength training... push ups sit ups crunches, bicycles, squats and walking lunges... 4 sets 10-12 reps you will be amazed at how much that will boost your physical confidence... think of any work out plan in 12 week increments... okay so maybe push ups are…

First decide how much weight you want to put on in order to achieve the body you are after... decide what you want to do with more strength, stamina, flexibility... rock climbing? Cycling ?trekking? Power lifter? Team sports? Recreational things... or is going to the gym on a regular basis just for the sake of maintaining…

Two bery fit ladies walked into the gym once...one a regular... totally smokin' good looking... matching tanks that said quite simply "*kitten* off I am here to workout... I laughed my *kitten* off

Well, one time this woman came up to me and asked how long I would be... I have caught her looking my way quite a few times... and well I get that vibe from her... anyway I told her straight... 12 more sets or so... she went on her way... thank god... I might have fallen in love then what? ... true story *sigh*

There's a question of emotional maturity... I have a stepson with adhd... he's 30... emotionally he's around 15... seems like you lack trust in your parenting abilities... otherwise at 22 you would trust your daughter's decisions... a good friend in high school had a sister who at 17 became involved with a 40 year old...…

Spend a day on a running path... watch the joggers and the runners... make mental notes on what appears to be good form... and what appears to be a lot of wasted effort... and have a hard look at people who in your mind probably shouldn't be running at all. Next... take some time to evaluate your stride... maybe if you are…

Push ups, squats, crunches, lunges, planks... hip thrusts... free workout vids on line...do all of the above... 12-15 reps 4x each... take 1-1/2 minutes to 3 minutes between each set. Also burpees, mountain climbers, jumping jacks. Every other day for 12 weeks... make it that far and you will be ready for a new set of…

Progress will be non linear... i have deloaded and increased reps at lower weights... its important to fuel your workout... protein and carbs at least 1/2 hour in advance of your workout... Be consistent and add more protein to your diet... you will get there... a foer co-worker... used ladder sets to break through her…

There is no "done" begin to seek out new activities to engage you physically, mentally and emotionally. And continue to track your calories... you have worked this hard...fought the good fight... lived through self- deprivation... and achieved success... NOW don't begin to believe that it's over... because it never ends...…

Awesome responses...my understanding of correct HIIT is to blow up the aerobic into anaerobic in order to push the cardio and respiratory and circulatory systems into an overall higher level of performance... ie run longer and faster. It's most common for endurance athletes, marathon training, triathlon, rugby, road…

If you prelog and do meal prep... and use your macros to guide your food choices that is all the plan you need... I eat 3 main meals... and add 2 snacks in between... avoid booze... and potatoes and white rice... I try to get my carbs in early... and protein in later in the day to feel full longer and avoid binging in the…

Is it my imagination or is kitty meow losing weight? I confess I still burn a candle in the window of my soul for her *sigh*

There's even a group... type 2 on gliclazide and metformin... cardio amd strength training no potato no rice, only whole grain bread... lots of leafy greens and high protein... work hard

That being said... that is an individual choice... my rugby warm up started with wind sprints for the first 20 minutes by the end... 3/4 of the team were in dire straits.. the other 1/4 didn't push hard enough or were standing on the sidelines. To truly engage in HIIT you have to want to push yourself to the edge of your…
