But if you would rather do the 5 day a week strength training workouts, Lauren Gleisberg has some really good workout/training plans on her website https://www.laurengleisberg.com/

So everything I have read lately has been pushing that you get more gains by doing a full-body workout 3x a week. So full-body Monday, rest Tuesday (or LISS or a recovery workout), full-body Wednesday, rest or recover Thursday, full-body Friday, active rest Saturday & Sunday. I found this sample plan too: Day1: Chest: Flat…

You keep saying that I don't know what CICO is.... So then why don't you tell me? Is it not Calories In vs Calories Out? Then how do you know how many calories you are getting in? And how do you know how many calories you are burning? Let's think that logic through... Because I have tried to not log before, and I knew I…

Attacking much? Geesh! All I said was that this book was life-changing for me, because it gave me actual science behind hunger, hormones, blood sugar, and how to live a healthy lifestyle for life. And I have found other scientists and doctors who have studied the exact same things and preach the same things she did in the…

Because CICO means "calories in vs calories out". How to be successful at mastering this? and how do you know how many calories you get in? Counting and logging. So how you do you break free of constantly logging and counting? Realizing that a calorie of real whole foods found in nature are going to offer more nutritional…

The article is actually backed by research, hence the "evidence based fact checked". I just would rather have a website sum up the research done on PubMed for me, so I don't have to read through tons of scientific studies. Good on you that it worked for you, but there is proof that 80% of us fail after weight loss. And I…

Or you could also just look up scientific research and find that it's not always as simple as "calories in vs calories out". Just because it may have worked for you, doesn't mean it will for someone else. You can also listen to free podcasts on people talking about this very research, and that's free advice. Being…

YES! According to science, bringing down your processed food and sugar intake will help keep you in blood sugar balance, which will aid in your efforts so you are not crashing and craving so much. While, yes, calories in vs calories out is the way it goes for weight loss, fat loss is more from carb depletion. But you still…

I guess I'm not going "true" keto, because I'm more tracking Carbs as "Net Carbs" so fiber, to me, doesn't count. I still know I need vegetables, so for me, I'm making sure I get fiber, but that my carbs are under 25 grams net of fiber (since obviously 1 gram of fiber is 1 gram of carb; and science proves carbs become…
-
Apparently only got 2,432 mg yesterday, and that's a rough estimate since I don't weigh/measure my foods. I just bought keto strips and just tested, and apparently am producing ketones! I just didn't realize it could even happen that fast. I literally just played around with it, didn't give it that much thought, since I…

So yesterday, was the first day that I just played around with my food to model after keto. I woke-up, did a fasted workout, and made an emphasis on getting fat, protein, and fiber. I ended my day with 61% fat, 32% Prtien, and 15% Carbs. I didn't test my ketones, but was wondering, for those who do keto, did your first…

The absolute best advice I was given, that helped me jump start my weight loss, was reading Kelly Leveque's "Body Love" book and then listening to her on podcasts and reading her articles. For once, the science behind losing weight makes sooo much more sense (it goes beyond calories in vs calories out; plus, who wants to…

I've been trying to incorporate protein, fat, fiber, and greens at each meal (Be Well By Kelly philosophy for turning off hunger hormones). My favorite, right now, is 1/4 cup black beans, mixed greens, seasoned chicken, tomatoes, 1/4 avocado, salsa & a dollop of full fat greek yogurt! My own makeshift Chipotle bowl This…

I know the feeling. I'm always sooo inspired by the women who post their heaving lifting results. I even started training with a trainer back in July to help me. But I still think I'm doing more resistance training and cardio work than anything else. I haven't seen much progress in the weight department (maybe about a 5 lb…

I love stories like these. It gives me hope! I would just like to hear about people's stories of how they changed their lifestyle to get to where they are now, along with the challenges and how they overcame those obstacles.

look up dukan diet recipes. A lot of them use oat bran. I had one that I did in a mug in the microwave that had egg white, cinnamon, vanilla yogurt, and oat bran. I also saw people do a crepe with oat bran.

I love posts like this! I am tired of the focus centering around scale results, when there is so much more to be proud of!

It's about making this a lifestyle. One day/night of drinking won't ruin everything. Just be conscious about how much your drink of choice is calorie wise, alternate a drink with a glass of water. Usually the things you have to watch for is what alcohol will do to you mentally, meaning late night binging on food or next…

I've definitely heard good things about meal-planning... Wish I could be one who was better at that. I try to maintain about 1400-1500 diet (diary is open), and not much for cooking and this is what I go by: Breakfast: depends on my motivation. I have done whole wheat English muffin with a egg beater lowfat cheese omlette.…

^^ This completely. You just need to be more honest with yourself. Make sure to log EVERYTHING, even the indulgents. This way you can realistically see where your calorie intake is at. I agree too, that maybe you should look up the TDEE method, if you haven't already. Try and eat every 2 hours a small meal/snack so you are…

You look PHENOM! What did you do to get so little?

I have been with one for a little over two months. I pay $200/month for 2 sessions a week. I like my 30 minute sessions with her since she does circuits that push me harder than I would push myself. So in terms of quality of workouts, its been awesome. However, I do wish she would be more personable and give me plans to do…

Wow lady!!!! You look fantastic!!! I'd love to hear your story!

5'0" here at hovering around 154-152 lbs. I've been struggling big time. I have been keeping up with being more active by working-out but the food/nutrition part is what kills me. I like to be social on the weekends with friends/boyfriend which means lots of drinking/eating out/etc. I try to be as good as possible during…

I would not think about it as being a "high protein" style. It's about getting the necessary macronutrients your body needs while maintaining a certain amount of calories a day. You need a certain amount of protein a day to preserve your muscle mass. When your calorie intake is less than your calories burned a day; you not…
