Am I the only one that thought this was some idiot who got 10-4 wrong? Let's be cops...

Aww thanks :) I'm still craving that morning when I can look in the mirror and definitively count an ab or two, (or maybe 6!), but I'm finding my body is really happy eating about equal amounts (calorie-wise) of all macros. I'm pretty sure I spent all of my college years protein deficient (a combo of budget/lifestyle)...…

The short story is, do what makes you feel good. My experience with strict paleo: (about 3 months)... I felt pretty good, but my cholesterol went toward the high end (mostly HDL, but some LDL as well...) and I started getting some weird cravings, which lead to eating way too many nuts/fruit to compensate. I had never had a…

Turns out unripe pineapple can have this effect on most people. I accidentally made a smoothie out of unripe pineapple one day... my body was in a chaotic state for many hours :-/.

Don't wear shorts. Capris or leggings will work just fine... a stretchy fabric, not cotton would be best.

^^This. Also, you should smile more in your pics :). I think there is more loose skin than belly fat, which just takes a while to shrink, and may never do so completely. Either way, a regular exercise program would be the next echelon of aesthetics for you :)

I meant more their official stuff rather than the forums...

Try signing up for bodybuilding.com and picking a program for beginners. Using their bodyspace app, you'll be a pro in no time... that totally sounded like a commercial... haha but it's true. The community there is really good also, has helped me a lot to stay motivated! Add me when you do @petrusilly They have complete…

cinnamon + BSN vanilla tastes like a horchata. sooo good. I recently bought Muscle Pharm from Costco. Not bad, and the macros are better... but it does taste a lot more "fake" than the BSN.

$100 for a pair. of. tights. *dies* I guess my boyfriend is lucky, the only store I like to spend that kind of money in sells stretchy lace, not stretchy pants ;)

Hi Alli, Having T1D changes a lot of factors in the weightloss equation, and I can only imagine how frustrating that might be :(. One thing that you brought up but wasn't really talked about was changing you macro ratios. It definitely wouldn't hurt and it might help to do this. You say that you want to lose weight (from…

Yup. But he doesn't.

My last name is Petruccelli, and no one knows how to pronounce it. So, I made it easy on you guys :D I like Pandamonium (haha) although the panda part might have just been a misspelling, I love pandas.

Dude... how you came up with the exact same concept as here: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/1760-san-francisco#bAnF82p-vGK6s_ySHZaosA Is pretty amazing ;)

I meant the recipe.

Nicely said.

Am I the only one here that thinks $50 for anything you wear to the gym is far too much? I hate Lulu for that reason... Most of my stuff is from the UnderArmour.com outlet section of the website... I still think $20 for a pair of shorts is a bit high, but after wearing them for a few workouts, the fit and durability is…

This looks exactly like a dessert at 1760... an SF restaurant... where did you find it?

Hi Annie-- Growing up around animals and horseback riding I know how much effort that takes! It's definitely a workout. Have you tried using any of the calorie base-rate calculators like the one here? http://iifym.com/bmr-calculator/ Based on the stats you provided, you'd need about 1300 calories a day to stay alive and…

Hey your blog is just what the doctor ordered today! I needed the inspiration :)

It was 10 exercises... partner workout... 5 isometric and 5 metcon... the "timer" for the isometric was the # of reps that the other partner had to do, then switch. I don't remember all the pairs of exercises... but it went something like this: Partner 1-- Plank hold, Partner 2--20 Cleans (switch) Partner 1--handstand…

It just keeps getting better and better with the edits... I'm kind of in love with Kimchi now too...

And it makes the house smell like thanksgiving! mmmm!

This is a great list! nice job :)

Awesome :)-- Although I don't eat Paleo, that blog has a ton of tasty and healthy recipes!

LOL! You are so funny :)... I actually should have added precooked bacon to my Costco items... it is a good source of protein and fat to have with my egg whites or to spice up any other dish too!

SWEET POTATOES!!!! <<< So good. They don't really fit in with my lowish carb diet right now, but when I hit my goal weight... and costco starts carrying them again... I'mma get back on that STAT. Have you tried cooking them in the crock pot? I thought it was weird at first, but they taste delicious!!!…

Someone must have told you all my favorite veggies!!! I like to blend and freeze cilantro cubes so I always have it on hand!!!

Not when eating at a caloric deficit, as OP mentioned he has been doing, and most of us on this website are doing. Excess is excess, no matter what, it will be stored as fat.

"Perfect Bar" has mostly honey and peanut butter, and protein from nonfat milk power... they run about $2.70 a bar and can be found at some Costcos and all Sprouts (I even saw them on campus when I went to ASU). I personally know the family that owns the company and they are very committed to organic ingredients! Their dad…
