I suggest you spend time understanding the calculation. Do some research by experts, particularly about BMR vs daily caloric expenditure. This site does the work for you, if you're not comfortable blindly trusting in it (which I personally consider dangerous and counter-productive), you should really put the effort into…

Many people have a misconception that a healthy style starts with diet or exercise. That's false. Before you can do anything, you need to get your mind focused. If your thoughts aren't organized and you're not completely sold on doing it, you won't do it. Take some time to do some self-reflection: -Write down goal for…

Can't?? That's not even a real word.

Don't "stick with" a weight. You need to ADD weight to ADD muscle. After 5 months you should be at least halfway to your body weight if you have good form! I started from scratch (no weight) last year and was squatting my bodyweight (135lbs) in 2 months. If you want to improve, you can't just keep doing the same thing. You…

Just remember, ladies, most of the men at most gyms have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what they are doing. Don't be intimidated by people who are just as lost as you ;) ... and check out Awkward Gym Moments on Facebook... don't do anything on those compilation videos :p

Sounds like you already know what to do :)

My advice? Don't ask the general public about such a detailed medical history. Work closely with a professional. Nutritionist maybe, but someone who works with those who are active and want to gain muscle. Do you research when choosing a practitioner, and don't be afraid to get 2nd, 3rd, or 4th opinions. It only expands…

It's about prioritization and time management. Life is FULL of stresses and problems and barriers and sick Auntie Gertrudes. Work around it, if you're serious. The bigger message here is DON'T BLAME OTHERS FOR YOUR HEALTH CHOICES. If you get injured from lifting then lift something else, do cardio, focus on your eating but…

It sounds like your concern is fat loss, not weight loss. If that's the case, you need to focus on getting rid of fat. It's not natural to have a visual 6 pack for most adults. We are made to have fat on our bellies. If you want to cut it to expose the muscle underneath, cut carbs. If you are skinny and want muscular…

Do you hurt? Feel sick? Starve yourself? If your body is not giving you adverse affects, you are fine. The more fat people have to lose, the faster it falls off... at the beginning. It slows over time. Another factor is that we carry a LOT of water weight around. People can drop 10 pounds or more on the scale in a week…

This is absolutely untrue. I hope no one acts in accordance with this misinformation. Your organs and nervous system would cease to function without fat. The deadly effects of anorexia are heavily tied to the lack of fat in the diet particularly regarding visceral fat and myelination of the neurons. What the body can do…

Lots of fat in chicken thighs... that's what makes them delicious! :D Nutrition is dynamic. Calories in DO NOT equal calories out. Pay attention to your macros, and do research or consult a professional to help you design a nutritional plan that fits your needs and supports your exercise. I lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks on a…

I teach conditioning and fighting classes and am always looking for exercises that don't require equipment. I like to keep it fresh so that I teach something for everyone. I with the article had pictures or links. There are many different names and explanations for different exercises and it'd be helpful to see exactly…

Stop looking at the scale. Throw it away. Lift weights. Cut sugar, carbs, trans fats, and eating out. Eat protein, make that your priority food. Watch your body, not the scale. If you want something more objective, take your measurements and check in with them ONLY after a month. This is going to take time, a long time.…
