Anywhere from 18-22% is a normal healthy range. When you get below 12% you could see some health issues. Some people are just naturally lower in body fat but if you are around 18% that is a lean body in my opinion.

watch your sodium, exercise.. walk, stari master (anything that helps pump blood back to your heart), lay on your back with legs straight up against wall for 30 min at night (helps a lot), increase water consumption.

that is awesome!!! congratulation on your life change... you look amazing and I'm sure you feel it!

I do when I have not had enough water... WATER, WATER, WATER!! he needs to get the sugar out of his system as that can cause headaches as well.

don't let yourself be defeated! you are in control of your emotions and ONLY YOU. With anything in life you have to tell yourself you can and you will succeed. Once you clear your head of negative energy and replace it with positive thought and people you will be able to overpower any negative peoson that crosses your…

I do the same and see no weight change. I have read that it is good to alter your diet just like changing your workout. Your body need to be "tricked" as it makes your metabolism burn more.

what an inspiration!!! you have to be so proud of the life transformation you have made!

I do a lot of lifting and focus more on inches. I eat 40/20/40 being 40% carbs, 20%fat, 40% protein. It works for me. As long as I see a difference in muscle tone (sounds like that is what you are going for) ou are doing a good job. Muscle weighs more than fat so you can stay the same weight while losing fat and yo will…

Olive oil to cook your foods will help, I had the same problem. Protein shake will add calories and Whey protein is lean. I get 40% of calories from protein... if you are trying to add muscle and lifting weight you need 1 gram per pound of body weight. Do't feel bad goin over in protein as long as it is lean. Add flax to…

ALWAYS go for the natural food! I watch sugar over everything else BUT sugar in fruit is better than processed foods and you need sugar after your workout so if you eat an apple with a protein shake 30 min after you workout it's really good for muscle repair. I use fruit (mostly berries - they are lower in sugar than other…

try Greek yogart... I add a pack of splenda, cinnamon, and berries.

that is actuall good. You need protein for building muscle and depending on your workout program you might even need more. If you spend 3 days a week or more lifting yo should get about 1 gram per lb. of body weight. I set my goals 40% carbs, 20% fat, 40% protein. As long as it's lean protein I don't worry about getting to…

If yo start tracking your sugar intake you will see a difference. Your body burns sugars before fat so by lowering it you will naturally put your body into fat burning mode. You could also lower the carbs and increase the protein that will help too. Stick to complex carbs and try to get rid of the processed foods. Nautral…

Oils and lotions will help prevent them but not make them go away... they are scars :( There are laser treatments that might improve the texture of your skin but they are really expensive and you will still have some visible markings left.
-
Start tracking your sugar. That in my opinion is more inportant that watching fat. Your body uses sugar for energy so if you eat a lot of high sugar foods then you burn those prior to burning your fat storage. Give it 2 weeks and I am sure you will see positive results. You should be gaining muscle with your workouts so…

EAS protein has 23 grams and (I think) only 1 gram of sugar. You can get that at Costco too. Think Thin protein bars have 20 grams protein and NO SUGAR!!! yay, they are good :) Good protein shake EAS Vanilla (1 scoop), 1tbs pure cocoa, 1/2 banana, 1 tbs all natural peanut butter. You need more calories to burn fat or you…

Start eating clean... cut the processed foods and you won't have to worry about sodium or sugar. Whole wheat bread or english muffin with natural peanut butter is a good breakfast or oatmeal (not the package... old fashion) and egg whites for breakfast. You can add veggies to the egg whites, that makes thenm really good.…

Vanilla whey protein, 1 tbs cocoa (pure), 1 tbs natural peanut butter, 1/2 banana, 8 oz water and a little ice. Great after workout shake and lots of protein to keep you full. Very low sugar and REALLY GOOD!!
-
lots of water, 12 oz with every meal. Try to eat 5 to 6 times a day... about ever 3 hours. If yo eat before you feel hungeryou will eat less and with the water you will stay full. Cottage cheese is a good late night snack it you're feeling hungry.
-
lean protein (turkey breast, chicken breast, white fish), veggies, no added sugar, 5 to 6 smaall meals a day, and cardio with some resistance training!!! Make sure you are eating enough calories to burn fat, if not you are only going to lose water weight or muscle.
