Nope. Unless you have a medically proven deficiency. Otherwise you’ve just got expensive pee.

Eat more fat less carbs after Ovulation around day 14 and reverse more carbs less fat when you period starts. I have found this helps but the week running up to period is when I kick in the diet change. I cannot remember the doc itself but just googled and got this one which is on the same line but involves training and…

C40% P30% F30% approx I’ve followed low carb before but this feels right for me now, however if I go up on carbs I generally try and keep fats low and visa versa.

5’11 (180cm) and I would be considered athletic build, broad shoulders & strong legs/calves. 19% bodyfat and I’m at 165 at the moment. I’ve being down to 150 looked good as I lost the fat from the legs which is the last to go for me, but was quite hard to maintain and I think I cut calories/macros to harshly to get to it -…

Baking cookies for school bake sale tomorrow.

Disney have salad options now at most counter service restaurants. They don't give a calorie breakdown but dressings you add yourself so I find it easy enough to estimate. Also some set meals you can omit the sides which they will deduct off bill. Magic kingdom- taco bills - help yourself salad bar HS- abc commissary…

I do believe that deficit is the only way to lose weight however I think myself macros can play a role in how you feel in changing the way you eat. I've done low carb and lost body fat quickly while keeping muscle, thought it really was the answer but after about 18 mths just wasn't sustainable for me, I was fairly…

I confess that secretly I am delighted by dehydration weight loss after a big night out drinking.

My DS suffers from intestine spasms on a daily basis and we think artificial sugar in diet drinks make it worse, just saying on a gut bacteria level we, for the foreseeable future, are not drinking diet sodas. Therefore it mightn't be calorie dense but it could be affecting digestion.

Congrats new you

Thats a great attitude to have, well done to you!

You look fab

Wow you look fab, well done.

great responses here for you. I do no. 2 and 4 glute activation exercises. See link for ref. http://redefiningstrength.com/10-mini-band-butt-exercises/ I'm sure your physio will help you out :)

Bump! I have the same issue with my right hip, trying to build up my glutes as I think like you my quads kick in to compensate not activating my glutes. Also I have lower back soreness again think this is because muscle imbalance. The only thing I know is that Static Stretching should be done only when warm do Dynamic…

try to do once a day first thing in the morning. Really no use to do late at night as you know already. I used to weigh every morning then went to every week but then started to forget altogether and clothes started to be snug...I'm back to once a day as I think personally I need a daily monitor.

Bump 5'11 here. Fantastic work u all look great!

I have fitbit one and it very accurate for me step wise. My friend just got the wrist HR one and she said she's easily clocking up her 10,000! I was quiet jealous of her getting in her daily quota until last Saturday out for a nice meal and drinks she turns around to me and goes 'woohoo just got my 10,000 steps' and there…

I always get a hot coffee in the cinema keeps me busy sipping and after not too bothered about eating salty popcorn.

:D well done you look great

Weigh in today and used the gyms Inbody230 electronic bf machine that u step on and hold electrodes in both hands. It said I was 15.9% bf at the same weight as last week..... I would b impressed but as it's TOM today unfortunately my body is screwing with the machine so next week it will give a bit more actuate reading. It…

late with weigh in....but now 19.5% bodyfat, thats a 1.2% drop since start and built some muscle so very pleased.

Out last night and the damage wasn't too bad. Drinking lots of water today. Healthy dinner tonight no treats and bed early.

still same weight as day 7 which is good cos had a bit of a food wobble on that night, I just added it all into MFP and it worked out that it was just over my TDEE so probably needed that night of extras. Going out on Saturday with friends, already looked up menu in restaurant and plan to share a bottle of white.

Hi all, I've lost 1.3 kg = .4kg muscle loss and .6kg fat loss, the remainder being water loss I guess (must look again at printout!) Think I'm going to increase my protein more as I don't want to lose any more of my hard earned muscle :grumble: looking to lose my .6kg of fat next week but no muscle!!

great tip. bump.

me too. though put them on a single layer on a baking tray in the freezer first, to keep them separated, then when they are frozen pop into a bag/storage box.

I can just add that I wouldn't do a long slow cardio session after weight training. A quick HIIT (high intensity interval training) program at the end of your gym session should see a bit of fat burn there. There are lots of different HIIT programs you can look up. On your diet, low carb, low fat, high carb, it can all…

hi weight raining x 3 times a week elliptical twice a week (only just added this) walking whenever i can.

Ah thank you! :smile:
