better to slowly increase to give your body time to adjust, dont be shocked to gain 5lbs or more quickly, this will be water weight and will fade

you seem to lack lean muscle mass, you best option is to find a program to have you add some strength and lean mass.

Protein is also harder for your body to store as fat and takes longer and more effort to break down so it can help you feel full longer and not spike your insulin levels

you should be eating way more if your training as hard as you say. also using ration 60/20/20 is not the best idea. aim from .8-1g of protein per lb of body weight .5g per lb for fat and make up the rest in carbs fat or protein.

weight training is a better option to loose wight then cardio as you continue to burn calories as the muscle repairs long after the workout. but you will actually have to lift weights to fatigue to make it work. That and you cant out work a bad diet so what you eat is the most important thing

i guess Im the only one who likes to have them cold, i freeze or put them in the fridge. keeps me from eating it in 30 sec

enjoying BPI wheyHD Banana pie also goes on sale lots at BB.com

bp2, hydrowhey iso 100 banana cream, frozen almond milk, half a low fat geek yogurt and added almond milk as needed. 240 calories all tasty

if what your doing is still working keep with it. no point in changing it all around until you notice you stalled. in saying that keep calories the same along with protein. then just start off your week with your max carbs then slowly taper down maybe by 40-50g set your lowest days for 2 then work your way back up to day…

you do need to train then and treat them like other body parts. add weight, change reps and routine. GO to failure.

been tempted to give it a try myslef and then up just making a huge bison burger at home with sweet potato fired and its less then half the cals for much more food. maybe when im out with friends i will go and take a bite

short answer, yes. In saying that protein is less likely to be stored as fat as your body tens to have to work harder to break it down and if you have training it will be first used to build and repair muscle fibers that have been broken down

If you lifting right after a 25min hit cardio I would rethink that. 25min of HIT should leave you almost unable to have the energy to walk to your car let alone life correctly for a full workout. Lift first and focus on the quality of your lifts and putting all your effort into it. A light 10 min warm up of cardio before…

take a look at walden farms products, all are zero cals and some are great some well not.

its good to have a good amount of protein in every meal. keeps muscles from being used as fuel and can help you feel full longer. I try to get 30 or more grams a meal

I find them a good for energy but you then need to use that and work hard. They are not going to melt fat away as you sit on the couch eating. 200mg of caffeine and some ground hot pepper also will get you fired up

did 3 weeks of it at the end of a 6 week cut and noticed a big change in the last week. Not sure if it was the carb cycling or the 6 days a week with the 150 less calories in the end I got to under 10% BF

whey protein and slow oats. fast and easy

lots of sugar still in watermelon and grapes, the good kind but still can slow weight loss.

you best bet is go on to bodybuilding.com and take a look at reviews and thats in them. there are soo many in stores and most people in the shops know very little other then what one makes them more money.

I find if you are using dairy it does not work out the best but its still better then paying $8 at a smoothy place

there is no real way to do it, also your are going to be over your daily limit after a plate of food. so you have two options, est just steamed veg and white rice or have what you want and deal with the grease.

picked up a ninja 1600 with single serve cups, its great. Had the magic bullet (3 over the years) and this is a whole other beast of power. It comes with lager pitcher sz and 2 single serve.

Always find myself looking at something I should not eat and sometimes I just enjoy it and move on. I find it better to slip up early in the day to then track it and use it as motivation in my workout. Ate 3 huge peanut butter cup cookies, doing extra drop sets after each exercise.

you should be eating almost or more .8- 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight if you are lifting heavy. You need it to rebuild and repair. I try and aim for the 1.5 myself but you should be much closer to 130g a day.

I personally fluctuate in weight all the time but I know if I look like I have put on 10lbs overnight but most of its gone in a day or two and my binge last night was 3 doughnuts 6 cookies and a sub all within 2 hours. Its now 24hours later and looking lean again
