  • Almond milk is great, I enjoy it in oatmeal and cereal and appreciate that it lasts longer than animal milk. I haven't gotten to liking it enough to drink it plain though. If you are considering completely changing over then there's some things about cow milk you might be interested in that I researched a while back. The…

  • With machine exercises for knee extension, make sure it's not one that places a bar over your quads as that will prevent your thighs from assisting the extension and place too much stress on the joint. As for the 'crunching', that could be some hardened fascia (connective tissue) that can result from lack of…

  • Hi, good luck with your goals! This is a site with a lot of recipes I found a while back: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/recipes.html Please be aware that extreme low carb diets for extended periods of time may cause health issues (raises in the cortisol steroid and ketosis) so if you plan on doing any lifting or high…

  • I hear a lot about people getting it for fat burning and speeding up metabolisms, but the product is labeled as an appetite suppressor. If you take it and have the willpower to stop eating when you're not hungry instead of finishing off everything on your plate, then it works. If you premeasure the content of your meals,…

  • In the morning, before you eat anything, is the best time of day to check. As for how often, it's not too important, but give a few days in between checks because you can fluctuate roughly 3-5 pounds depending on water weight, hormones, bowel movements, etc. Giving some time can also help prevent getting obsessed or…

  • Bodybuilding.org has multiple exercise plans that include nutrition guides and meal plans. If you're just getting started into exercise, those workouts might seem too advanced. A good place to start is the youtube.com/befit channel. You can find videos by type of exercise, or go to a sub channel of a series you like. Some…

  • Lifting and HIIT draw energy from the glucose in your muscles. The aerobic cardio does the fat burning. Instead of 1 long cardio session a week, try 30-45 minutes 3x a week. It doesn't have to be intense, only 55-85% maximum heart rate. For the most effective fat burning, do the HIIT workout first, or do a 5 minute warm up…

  • For me, my flow is much more consistent on days I exercise. I go at it with a mentality of 'working out the blood'. Sounds nasty...but I typically have a long week of irregular bleeding if I don't do any exercise, where days I do cardio really flushes me out. If you get upset at making a mistake, you can try to choose…

  • I have a 'loose' neck, so it comes down from my chin instead of along my jaw. There was a time in high school where I had started playing soccer and lost some weight. I was feeling good about being down to a size 10, but a guy in my class came up to me one day and told me I had a chicken neck, and actually reached for me…
