  • It will be a very difficult task to retrain yourself and unfortunatley there arent really any goods tricks, you just need to catch yourself and really focus when you run, and walk, when you walk you will feel like your bouncing if you focus on walking on the bals of your feet so that will help you retrain your body , and…
  • its not an allowance, think of it as a minimum, mfp sets very low protein goals, depending on your goals you should aim around 1g per lb , im personally at 1.6g per lb at this phase of my training
  • Why not just up your workouts instead of cutting out stuff? if your working out twice a week make it 3 or 4 .., no need to sacrifice proper nutrition
  • Well your diary isnt open so can't see what your eating.. but its been 10 days... give it time, it took you a long time to put on the weight it is going to be slower to get it to come off, workout programs take weeks and months to work and actually show progress not days.. our bodies are amazing machines but they can only…
  • like you said making food yourself is the absolute key, you know exactly what is in it, it can taste better then premade frozen stuff and you will be healthier, there are so many simple recipies out there that dont need to be intimidating, personally i never make anything that takes longer than 40min to cook and i make…
  • check the link about DOMS.. 2 days later is always a sign of a great workout!
  • You asked earlier about any protein that we bought and hated.. unflavored is terrible.. my opinion yes but i dont see how anyone can actually drink that stuff. trust me the 80mg of sodium and 1g of sugar is well worth being able to enjoy what your drinking, i dont recomend the mint chocolate, or vanilla unless you plan on…
  • bodybuilding.com is where i get mine, cheap and fast shipping tons of flavors too fast acting is good for post workout when your muscles need the extra protein to start recovering, also right when you wake up since your body has been deprived for a long period of time during the night, slow acting is good for right before…
  • There are several variations you can do with regards to carb cycling, the main idea behind it is to get your body to use fat stores for energy since the carbs wont be readily available to use. you will definitley notice a decrease in energy with this depending on how many low carb days you have per week, personally it…
  • 'Ive never enjoyed running totally barefoot on pavement for theis exact reason, you do need to build up the bottom of your foot by working on softer surfaces first then moving up , i usually just hit the track if im going totally barefoot but just got the new balance minimus' and had no problems on the roads even with the…
  • bodybuilding.com has articles that can answer all your questions and way more in great depth and by people that have degrees in sports science, id recomend starting there. a quick advice though, read the label and understand whats is in it, a lot of brands carry unecesary stuff in it, the categories to compare are the…
  • burning calories is difficult.. it is supposed to be.. its converting energy. which is why i have to laugh at some of these exercises on here that tell you you burn way more calories than you actually do, 30 min of intense sprinting will leave me at and avg HR of around 150 which will burn about 300 cal for me, thats for…
  • up your protein too, go for at least 1g per lb if your workoing out with the intent of building muscle
  • Put your head down and work, if people have time to sit there and stare they arent working as hard as you, your at the gym to pick things uo and put them down, move heavy wieght, and walk out feeling dead.. enjoy it and don't even worry about anyone but you
  • seriously ? life without peanut butter just doesnt seem fun, that would be grounds for me moving alone.. hah i love it. use it for everything! its a spread, like PB&J sandwhiches, on toast, with bannanas , also i do NOT accept nuttella as a PB substitute haha not the same at all
  • well a thermogenic is going to raise your body temp, so the sweating just how your body cools off, oxyelite does have an intense amount of caffiene in it so if your sensitive to stimulants it could account for the increased heart rate etc.. personally i have taken it before and never had an issue.. i do drink a ton of…
  • casein shake and 1 tbsp of peanut butter
  • I use it in pancakes, other baked good like muffins and other recipies by jamie eason (they are amazing) , also add to cereal occasionally just to make the cereal worth it calorie wise for me. people add chocolate flavored protein to coffee as well, its not too bad , as for flavor for baking i usually stick to vanilla ,…
  • optimum nutritions gold stand or hydro whey is excellent , best tasting too. cal 120 fat 1g carb 3g sugar 1g protein 24g cant beat it , the hydro whey may have slightly dif stats but you can get all the info on bodybuilding.com
  • When your not thirsty.. IT's just water.. i drink close to a gallon a day. People on here will warn you about over hydration even though that is such an extreme that you should notice any signs if you ever got remotley close to that....

  • I do cardio on 2 of my 3 rest days for the week, and the third i do nothing just rest
  • Cortisone is a temporary fix, it will work for a while and if you give the injury enough time to heal afterwords you have a beeter shot of letting it heal perminantly . I had a shot in my lower back while i was competing in track in college and it worked well for a few months then i took the summer off to let it fully heal…
  • Taking your BMR of 2830 Giving yourself a 600 cal addition for excersize = 3330 cal minus 500 to create a deficit and your around 2800 by my math.. just a quick version. as far as adding healthy calories look to calorie dense foods, nuts, peanut butter, healthy fats tend to be higher in calories and can hep you get to your…
  • It depends on your activity level and other factors theres no hard and fast rule like above mentions... I have to drink at lease 4 L + a day thats 128oz roughly and its usually over that , have been for years never an issue. because i run and workout everyday
  • The key is to add calories efficiently , so if you have ahard time increasing your intake try peanut butter, nuts, and other calorie dense foods, up your potein and healthy fats and you will easily add calories. If your starting to lift and build muscle then upping your protein will be beneficial regardless. you can calso…
  • yea your fine, it just won;t get absorbed in the body and come out in your urine, my multi vitamins put me way over 100% daily values like several hundred over some vitamins. no worries drink water
  • If you feel the pop go to a spots med doctor, trust me im the LAST person to reccomend the doctor but having had terrible knees from Track for so many years, it will only get worse with activity , and you can't effectively tape the knee joint. it just won;t work, ive tried it, had trianers try it etc.. if you are really…
  • [/quote] The best foods to flatten your stomach are less foods. [/quote] i disagree, just gotta eat the right ones, if you are properlly fueld you can get in better workouts and therefore burn more fat = flatter stomach, but in general like love4 said above, proteins and healthy fats, less fibrous food is good for when you…
  • Chicken, eggs, turkey, beef? i get around 215g a day with 2 shakes ( about 60g from shakes) the rest is whole foods
  • thats an avg of 2.25lb a week , taking into account that the earlier lbs are easier to loose i think that seems high for a maintanable goal, maybe closer to 1.5 for an avg? not saying you can't loose 2 a week you just need to put in some serious work and stay strict on your eating. Good luck! nothing worth it is ever easy…
