The thing that makes me "laugh" the most is that for example in the USA students (as an example) don't have full insurance but killers and rapists do.

Wow, just read the article. 3,7000 calories is a lot. From what I've seen in documentaries it just looks like they're starving, I've seen some milk, some noodles and some jelly as far as I remember

Thank you, that's what I'm actually doing right now, but I assume my low weight is also due to the fact of my small bones (for example my dad has no muscles at all and he's the same height as me but weight 172 but his wrist for example is 20 centimeters (about 8 inches) so I guess bone density also adds some more pounds…

I apologize for the ignorance but what does recomp consist of ?By the way, I didn't say I wanna cut (I'm actually maintaining right now while doing resistance training + some cardio) but I was just curious if anyone else had this problem with their stomach and if it's bloating or fat or not enough muscle around the body.…

I'm an 18 years old guy, 5'8, 150 lbs. I don't know my bodyfat % but these are my measurements: Neck: 39 cm (15 inches) Wrist: 17 cm (6.7 inches) Arm: 38 cm (15 inches) flexed Leg: 62 cm (24.5 inches) flexed Waist (put the tape on my belly button, even though someone said the waist is a little bit higher than belly…

I finished it about a couple of weeks ago and I lost about 20 lbs (from 170 to 150) but I wouldn't do it again. It's 6 days of high intensity cardio and the second month the workouts are about 1+ hour long. Right now I just workout 3 times a week, resistance training + HIIT at the end of the workout (some jump rope,…

Thanks for the answers everyone ! Right now I drink about half gallon a day because it's cold outside and I don't really feel like drinking more and my urine is as clear as number 2 in the picture, I assumed bodybuilders do it for some mysterious ways to make gains haha

Nope, all I have is my height, weight and measurements (unfortunately I don't have my bodyfat percentage either because I can't find any skin clippers or whatever they're called here in Italy)

I was thinking of doing P90X instead of Insanity Asylum because I feel flat after losing 20 pounds haha and the good thing about P90X is that you lift weights and build some more strength and muscle than Insanity while still doing some cardio like Plyo so it would be a great thing for me since I'm 150 lbs right now and I…

Alright, so I was 156 two days ago and I started to worry, then I was 153 yesterday and today I'm 151 so I guess it was just water weight. (I didn't actually do anything, I kept my diet and my water intake the same). Bodies are a weird thing huh ? :smiley:

Thank you vorgas, but what's up with the 1 inch gain in my waist and arms ?I'm absolutely sure you can't gain an inch in your arms in a week

Thanks, but I'm kinda scared of Nair, some people said it burned their skin haha. Anyway I first want to buy some clippers/body groomer to at least shorten it and then shave it completely (I guess it's a good thing to do right ? haha I've never shaved my body before)

Thanks for your answer. Insanity is basically HIIT cardio, with jumps and push-ups and things like that. I'm sure my form is not the greatest because when you're tired your form gets a little sloppy but shouldn't this pain start 7 weeks ago when I started Insanity ?Also, the same thing happens if I jump rope, I stop…

Thanks everyone for the help, I guess I won't try this cycle haha. Also, yes, my body is proportioned but I was just curious if there was like a "chart" for big waist and small waist. I'm 30 inches and I'm a guy (I know usually females have a smaller waist)

I did it because at first I started Insanity at 2200 calories and lost like half a pound in two weeks so I had to go lower and when I went to 1500 I was losing 1-1.5 lbs per week

Thank you everyone. Well, right now I'm eating about 1500 calories a day and as I said before I'm usually eating chicken breast, tuna, pasta, bread, eggs, vegetables, and rarely fruit. I've been eating about 1500 calories since I started Insanity and at first the weight loss was faster, but obviously right now is slower…

Thanks for the answers everyone. Yes I know these questions are being asked on a daily basis but it's because everyone has a different opinion so I'm somehow confused. Also really true, science is changing day by day. Oh, I might have just a little question: why when someone is stuck on a weight and can't lose more they…

I read all your comments and I want to say thank you to everyone, and also to the ones that congratulated me on my recent weight loss. I think I'll either join a GYM class or find a workout buddy. I used to play football in high school and I never skipped training because there was a lot of competition, who's faster, who…

Thank you so much for the answers ! May I ask you one more thing ? So I know most of the weight it was water weight because of course you can't lose that much fat in so little time, but will I gain this water weight back ? I basically started drinking from half a gallon of water per day to 1+ gallon right now.

Thanks so much for the answers everyone ! :) Ana, what do you mean by "Energy needs for kids and teens are also different than for adults. " ?Also, no, I wasn't counting my calories and I also think it was more than 2,500 but they just gave me a meal plan and by searching on the internet it was about 2,500 calories, but I…

How fast is your metabolism lol ?I gained those 20 pounds by eating about 2,500 calories a day while playing football and bulking because I needed to gain weight (which I eventually did, but most of those 20 pounds were fat haha)

Thanks for the replies !Well, I might need some help. When I set my goals on MFP it says 1200 calories and I'll burn about 2,400 calories a week. So how much am I supposed to eat ?

That's so true, for people that are never hungry it might be alright but I'm always hungry, I could EASILY eat 10,000 calories a day like some bodybuilders do on YouTube on their cheat days, and I could do it everyday, I swear lol I keep my stomach full by drinking lots of water and eating like half an apple then an hour…

Thanks for the replies everyone ! :) By the way, no I'm not going to do any photoshoot or anything similar, but for example first thing in the morning I look leaner than night before sleep. Probably because I eat a lot of carbs (we eat white pasta and white bread everyday here in Italy, even though people here aren't…

Thanks for the replies! By the way I'm quite fit because I was playing football CB/WR and I got fat because they asked me to gain weight so the fastest way was to eat a lot of junk food, so I'm still fast and strong, just a little chubbier haha

I added my goals and the fact that I'll be exercising about 40 minutes of HIIT everyday and it says I should only eat 1,200 calories. Damn that's little calories lol

Personally I was surprised too because, well, the diet is healthy, I mean no sugar and junk food which is great since I've been eating sugar and burgers everyday for months lol on the other hand I was expecting less fruit and more protein like eggs, or something like that ..

Lose 15 lbs, that's all.
