I eat a Clif Builders bar for my afternoon snack every day. They're nearly 100% organic, and helps with the sweet tooth. Not the best source of protein. I can get the same amount in 4 ounces of chicken without any of the fat and carbs.

Losing weight and simultaneously bulking up is kind of an oxymoron. To lose weight you need to be at a caloric defecit. To Bulk up means to do the exact opposite. That aside, I used creatine for 4 months of lifting heavy and saw no evidence that it did anything for me. If you are going to sue creatine, generally 5gs after…

Sucrose, or table sugar, is one of the sugars found in fruit. Regardless if it comes from a package or from a banana it is still the same chemical compound and processed by your body in exactly the same way. Not saying fruit is bad in any way, just that the sugar is the same.

Depends what your goals are. Turbo Fire and Insnaity are cardio workouts. P90X is a more comprehensive program combining cardio, resistrance training and stretching/Yoga.

Do at least the first 45 minutes, that's the toughest part. Then I'd say you could skip towards the end for the AB work, Yoga Belly 7 and final stretch.

Without a HRM you're only going to get a ball park figure. No two people burn the same. As an example, a friend an I both are approximately the same age height and weight. We both do the exact same workout, P90X plyometics. On my best day when I was absolutley trying to bust my butt I burned 704 he burned 946. That's a…

P90X - Legs and Back, plus Ab Ripper X!!

Fruit is very high in sugar. Some more than others. Try to swap out some fruit for vegetables Don't be too "fooled" by the natural sugar in fruit. It contains the same sucrose that's in regular table sugar, along with other sugars such as glucose and frustose. Tim

Regardless of how much body fat you have, if you properly engage any muscle it will be worked. Most ab routines tend to be high rep so maybe focus on that. Also I occasionally press my abs with my fingers to feel them being engaged so try that to make shure you're working them.

Which Insanity workout? I"m male and 180 pounds and I burn well over 600 calories doing something like Pure Cardio, so I'd go with the higher number

Do the Classic version not the Lean. The program was designed as the Classic version and that is where you'll get your best results. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO LIFT WEIGHTS!

I"m kind of in the same boat but at about 180 just trying to get to 175. I lift 3X and cardio 2X and I just bumped my calories to 2,400 from 2,100. the weight loss had stalled and I was starving all the time so I figured i needed more food. If there are days where you're working our 2X, 1,900 won't cut it.

I've seen some of the workouts online and they look decent enough. It is more affordable than P90X, that being said the money I spent on P90X is the best fitness related investment I have ever made!

I've had a couple people I know use it prior to weight ifting workouts and they prefer it over some of the others on the market like Jack3d or N.O. Explode.

Going to be tough to bulk up with a caloric defecit. Look at more calorie dense foods. Nuts or avacado have healthy fats. Also drink some calories, but healthy one such as protein shakes. You can easily add a few hundred calories with two scoops a protein powder and some milk.

There's a number of different types of sugar in fruit. GLucose, Fructose and Sucrose (good ole table sugar) among them. A Mango, for example, is predominatley Sucrose. Your body processes each one differently, but it can't tell the difference between Sucrose from a piece of fruit or out of one of those packets you put into…

Totally agree, you have to WANT IT! At 214 I couldn't even do one pushup. I'm now finishing my 5 round and am 180. Just commit and do it.

I love it mixed in with either chocolate protein powder or Shakeology but as a straight up substitute for the real stuff , like in a PB and J sandwhich, not so much.

Dude, we're probably neighbors

Chicago!

Unfortunately most fo the sodium in an egg is in the white.

I'd simply give customer service a call, they should be able to help you out!

For me it was finally coming to the realization that those tempting items, like cheesecake for example, are really not going to help me reach my goals. As time goes one and you see success it becomes easier. When something is tempting, I just tell myself I know what it tastes like so why bother. For me, one bite can lead…

I'm going ot have to disagree. I defy you to show me 1 female that has gotten bulky by doing Insanity. By bulky I mean adding muscle mass, not losing fat so that her toned muscle are more noticeable. Women have an extremely difficult time gaining muscle even when they try. They just lack the chemistry to do it. To suggest…

I couldn't imagine trying to eat as little protein as suggested by MFP, 15%. As a guy eating 2100 calories a day that would be only 79 grams. I just had 61g at lunch! tim

Take a good look at your diary and you can see a few easy things to cut out. Add some vegetables to your daily diet will help with feeling full and aare low in sugar. The can of regular soda. The can of Monster energy drink The frosted Animal crackers

The only issue with sugar from Fruit, Fructose, is that it goes directly to your liver which can opnly store 100Grams or so. Excess fructose is then converted to Fat, Triglycerides in your blood, not a good thing.

Afraid to read it as I sit here having downed nearly a 2 liter of diet Pepsi and it's not even 10 AM. To say I drink too much diet soda, is an UNDERSTATEMENT! I've quit before but am just weak i guess.

6 pack abs at 42 years old and I'm almost there!!

You should research the difference between Fructose,the primary sugar in fruit. It's also the primary sugar in honey as well. The basic issue with it is this. Fructose goes directly to your liver to be processed. It can only store so much about 100g, the excess is converted to fat, triglycerides i nthe blood not a good…
