I absolutely and fundamentally disagree with almost everything this person said. If you are struggling with not eating enough (1 mega meal a day) your metabolism is shot. So you need to eat healthy, clean, natural foods. Once you are eating healthily and regularly then you can focus on calorie counting. I swear to you no…

My favorite sources for meal planning are The Eat Clean books, Clean Eating Magazine and Oxygen Magazine. I would start with getting a Eat Clean book from the library and reading it, any of them are good and they all have a couple of weeks meal plans in it. Then I suggest getting a subscription to either Clean Eating or…

Ok so I was in the same boat as you. Aiming for 12 to 1200 calories a day and then 3 days a week working out burning what MFP called an 850 cal work out. I lost nothing and felt terrible. Turns out I have a really low RMR so the TDEE calculators don't work for me. I jumped to 1500 calories on non work out days and 17 to…

I prefer whey myself. I use a whey shake (with water) and fruit for breakfast all the time as I am not a morning eater and get really nauseous when I try to eat eat. I also use Quest Protein Bars as my mid day snack on days that kick box.

I put 2 lbs of skinless boneless chicken breasts, 1 package of frozen peppers and onions stirfry (no additives just frozen peppers & onions) and clean taco/ fajita seasoning (I found it on the Eat Clean website) in the crock pot - you don't need to add any liquid at all! Cook it on high for 2 hours then turn it to low for…

This! There is a huge difference between thin and healthy. Tosca Reno calls it skinny fat. My sister falls into that category, she eats nothing but crap and weighs 120 lbs. But if you look at her labs and my labs... it tells a very different story. Eat clean!

When I did body bugg after I had my son (my hubby did it too) we only lost if we had 1000 to 1500 cal deceits each day to what Body Bugg said we burned. Sounds like healthy progression to me. I needed a month before my body agreed to let anything go. Give it more time.

If you are aiming for Gwenth Paltrow arms keep with the "Barbie" weights (long ballet arms is what come to mind). I am with you, looking for the toned and softer look, not the rock hard ripped look. I use the Barbie weights with The Method (Pilates, Ballet, Yoga, Tai Chi mix) 2 x a week and kick boxing (bag, gloves not Tae…

I agree that eating clean is not a diet, it is a lifestyle. But I disagree about the weight loss technique, if you are over weight, you will lose weight, but weight loss shouldn't be your main motivation. My hubby and I ate clean from June through Halloween, he lost 35ish pounds, I lost 18. But we felt great!!! Less sick…

Started Aug 2011 - this includes 3 broken bones (@6 wks each out of the gym) and 3 major illnesses that had me out of the gym for 3 to 4 weeks each (per doctors orders). 1. SW - 210 lbs 2. SBF - 43% 3. CW - 190 lbs 4. CBF - 39% 5. Do you eat back exercise calories? (Y/N) No, I don't think so. I do the eat clean diet so I…

I measure myself every month and also do body fat percentage then too. I weight twice a week but only record it once a week (just to see if it's a fluke).

I eat every 3 to 4 hours. 85% clean (as in not processed, no chemicals, sugar or refined flour). Always pair protein with complex carbs. 4 liters of water minimum (more w/ excercise or if you have anything with sodium, alcohol or caffeine.) breakfast, lunch and dinner = complex carb + protein + fruit + veg mid am, mid…

Appreciate any tips *********************** I stopped measuring (as in cups, spoons, grams, ounces) my…

This would be why I only did 1 cycling class, even though I love riding bikes. They do make gel seat pads at the bike stores and there are biker shorts that have pads too. Supposedly you will also build up--- callouses aren't exactly right but apparently your body will get used to it over time.
