You set the FitBit into 'Activity Mode' for the duration of any excercise / activity and at the end you stop it. (like a stopwatch), you can then on the website view all your activity periods and overwrite that period with the proper data. (ie: 5k run, 450 Kcals). If you are synced to MyFitnessPal you can just add your…

FitBit is brilliant. Will really help you push on.

In my first post I gave you the link

What are the benefits ?

By building muscle you can GAIN weight while losing body fat. Muscle is denser than fat so 1lb of muscle fits in a smaller space than 1lb of fat. This is how you can drop clothes sizes and still get heavier. Stop worrying about weight. You need to start now using your body fat % as your measuring stick. :D

You need to link your MFP and FB accounts and then you just log your food on MFP and it uploads to Fitbit automatically. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/help/faq/295-how-do-i-link-my-fitbit-account-with-my-myfitnesspal-account

This does a TOTALLY different thing. Eating under your calories means your body will change your metabolism to suit your new calorie intake. Your weight loss will plateau. Carb Cycling you still eat your calorie limit you set for yourself but as you body has low and high carb days it doesn't level out your metabolism as it…

LOL .. whatever ! I want you to break down that 48Kcals please including product names for verification.

It's basically 'Carb Cycling'. You have low carb days, medium carb days and high carb days and you alternate them. Good carbs obviously. Keeps your body guessing. It does work.

This is supposed to be real good: http://www.myprotein.com/uk/products/true_whey Chocolate Mint flavour as well.

I have a bowl of fruit and fibre with a handful of blueberries in and 2 slices of warburtons wholegrain seeded batch. Total Kcals - 575

So are natural sugars ok ? Fruit and suchlike.

BAD advice

Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat. 1lb of muscle is the same weight is 1lb of fat. Muscle is DENSER than fat. This means 1lb of muscle fits in a smaller space than 1lb of fat. This is how you can look leaner but weigh more.

You need to be on 1900 - 2000 Kcals a day with that excercise regime. You will start to see weight loss if you do. Your body is in 'stavation mode' as it is not getting enough Kcals and is being hammered with excercise. I bet you are losing muscle mass as well (your body fat % will have increased) as you are not eating…

I have been using one for a month now. Wouldn't be without it !

Obviously this isn't an overnight thing. Every other session do HIIT and you should see results in a few weeks.

What you will find is that HIIT will allow you to run faster in your regular runs. So if for example you are running 4k in 30 mins, after some HIIT you will be able to up your speed a little and do it in 28 mins. (made up numbers obviously). It allows you to run on faster speeds for longer. I have gone from 5k in 45 mins…

Sorry man, I meant dense. Muscle is more dense than fat. So you can look smaller but still weigh the same. Thanks for picking me up. It could have been confusing.

This is good advice. If you want to burn fat and halve your treadmill time. HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is really simple. Basically you run as fast as you can for 1 minute and then walk for 2. Repeat 5 times. My fastest is 15kph on the treadmill and my walk is 5kph. So a full HIIT session for me on the…

I do a 5k treadmill run every day (mon - fri evenings) and I do weights on Mon, Wed, Friday lunchtimes. If I have the energy I go to the pool in the morning (mon - fri). Luckily the health club I go to is next door to my work. You will have no trouble whatsoever doing cardio and weights :D

There is a good chance you will gain weight. As you build muscle that muscle weighs something, and as is common knowledge muscle weighs more than fat. I have put weight on but still dropped clothes sizes by doing a weight program. Don't fixate on weight, all you need to worry about is body fat % , you will lose body fat…

comes with a strap. you wear it on your wrist.

What is the insanity workout ?

You need to switch to activity mode when doing an activity. (see my post above). Without you telling it you are in an activity it only moitors your BMR and Steps taken. You should have made the activity then in MFP inputted the calories burned for that time. It would then talk to Fitbit.com and tell it that for that…

I have one and it is brilliant. When you do excercise here is what you do. 1. As you start any excercise you hold in the button and it flips to 'activity mode'. When you finish hold it again and it says 'stop'. 2. When you go to the fitbit site you will see any activities you have logged with exact times. Make a note of…

Hi guys. What is 'insanity' training ? Do you mean Interval training ?
