Also, certain foods like avocados, are extremely good for you but are fatty. There's a difference in types of fats too. On top of that, you can lose weight eating foods that are extremely fatty as long as you've created a calorie deficiency. That's obviously a bad idea, but it can be done. Fat is also needed so your body…

Carbs tend to have a lot of calories, you can get wheat free breads. I'd also look toward higher fatty foods that have good fat in them such as avocados, peanut butter, and things like that. I'm not sure what your caloric intake vs what it should be, but these are some of the things i'd suggest. When you say no sugar, do…

I'm not a a big protein shake drinker right now, but I've heard arguments saying that anything you put in your body before a work out will still be under digestion after a work out as well (which technically is true) unless you're working out for 4 or 5 hours at a time. The basic logic behind was the same thing as, you…

From what I understand and have researched, everyones body is different to not only how and where they store fat, but also where they lose it first. You just have to keep plugging along with your fat loss, and sooner or later the fat in that area will start to go away. I also was in the same situation. I have lost a total…

Where was this purchased?

It's the same thing as people not completing going through the range of motion on a push-up, bench press, or any other exercise. They may honestly feel like they're doing "that much" of whatever exercise, but in reality they're not.

Holding on actually make the work out less effective. Most people that do that are holding their bodies up, and their legs are then not getting the work out they should. If it's inclined so far that someone is having to hold on, then it's too much incline for that person. Holding on every now and then to give yourself a…

This doesn't really apply to diet soda, but diet soda is still soda. Chugging soda is one of the easiest ways to pack on the pounds (the average can contains 10 teaspoons of sugar). But drinking as few as two soft drinks a week can nearly double a person’s risk of getting pancreatic cancer, too. That’s the finding of a…

I'm not sure a high fat diet is good for most people. You have to realize that in our time, food in available everywhere. In times that long ago it wasn't the easiest thing to just have food laying around. no refrigerators or freezers. Regardless of your belief in evolution or what not, fatty foods used to be considered to…

When I first started I lost 10 pounds in my first week by changing my diet to around 1700 calories a day, eating 3 small meals and snacks in between, and doing around 65 minutes of cardio a day. I also started taking a really high quality vitamin stacker that helped immensely with energy levels, and for some reason it…

I would say that eating before bed does matter to a degree though. It just depends on what you're eating, because you will be completely inactive and your metabolism is slowed down. at that point of the day, your body does care about external factors such as sleep.

I'm no doctor, but I don't think your body and digestive system really cares what time of day it is. At the end of the week you've burned x amount of calories. I tend to try and leave myself an extra 300-400 calories for the end of the day in case I do get hungry at the end of the day. If I use them, that's what they're…

You can have the most defined abs in the world, but if they're covered in body fat no one will see them. If you're asking if doing those things flattens your belly in respects to making you lose fat in that specific area, the answer is no. You cannot target where on your body you lose fat.

Doing cardio everyday is not bad for your body at all as long as you have the fuel to do it. Over doing cardio is a tough thing to do because of how quickly your body can adjust to it. Over doing strength training is not difficult to do and is entirely different. Most guidelines say that it's safe to do between 30 and 60…

Set specific goals that can be achieved in a realistic time frame. Most people do not like to exercise, especially overweight people. You will find that if you stick to it, it will get easier, and much more enjoyable. As for your diet, it's all about self discipline. Changing the food you eat as a lifestyle and not just to…

Just like anywhere else on the body, you cannot target fat. Just because you gain more muscle in certain places does not mean that fat is gone. Just like people doing ton's of ab and core workouts trying to target belly fat. It doesn't make the fat go away.
