  • It depends on your activity level and the proportions of calories you're eating. There's too many factors (IMO) to give a single solid answer. However, generally speaking, if you're sedentary (no excercise) too few calories (generally speaking) will slow your metabolism, and put your body into "storage mode". You will lose…

  • For my slow carb sources I enjoy.... steel cut oats brown rice cereal (bobs red mill) Long grain brown rice Quinoa (more nutritionally dense than brown rice) Pair these with a lean source of protein and you should be full for a good amount of time (dependent upon your activity level) The other members suggestions of apples…

  • Did you mean to write 15g of creatine? Anyways, some current research has shown that not only is Creatine absorbed as a 'net' effect during the day but 5g/day (keep in mind i'm referring to natural athletes) is sufficient especially when combined with proper nutrition. As a personal preference, I take my creatine…

  • I agree w/ 'mynameisuntz' post with exception to his first comment ("that woman is wrong"). The woman who looks amazing is in all probability suggesting you reduce your sugar intake to as low a level as possible. Obviously, humans do need sugar. For example, although I eat a weekly average of 3K calories/day, my sugar…

  • I second Schweedogs comments. You have to schedule 'cheat meals'. This not only curbs your craving, but motivates you to work harder at losing weight. Post workout is in my opinion is the best time for a cheat meal.

  • I agree with the statement of 'daily weighing = depressing'. I would suggest weekly or bi-monthly as you stated. In my opinion, bodyweight changes far too much in a 24hour period to be an accurate measure of net loss or gain. Remember, from focus comes growth (or loss in your case ;); weight loss is a marathon, not a…
    in How often do YOU weigh yourself? Comment by Q9S7 May 2011
  • Your best bet is to ask yourself what your goal is. Trying to gain weight? Lose weight? If you're trying to gain weight my suggestion would be don't worry too much about it (just don't fill up completely before bed). Toning up and losing fat is easier than gaining muscle (in my opinion) especially if youre tracking…

  • I guess it would depend on what your goals are? Conditioning or Cutting? I am a sprint swimmer and find that it is a good way to efficiently work many muscle groups at once. If you're short on time (like myself) I would suggest performing high intensity interval training (HIIT) This is an efficient way to burn fat. An…
