www.allrecipes.com then type chicken leftovers in the search box. This is my goto site. you can Google leftover chicken as well :happy:

It can...sort of...be shredded. Just put it in a food processor and pulse a couple of times. I make single servings of chicken salad for sandwiches this way.

IMHO......the best you could hope for with this is to clean your bowels and run your blood sugar up. Any more than a few days of this and your body is not going to be happy....at all. I very seriously doubt you will have the strength to do "maintenance and toning" if you do last as long as you plan to. Just my thoughts.…

Op. Are you talking about a temporary juice fast? Like maybe...juicing veggies and fruits for a few weeks? Or are you talking about shoving all of your foods (pizza, steak, veggies, etc) into a vitamix and drinking it....for the rest of your days on earth. You haven't made that clear.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I feel like I'm chasing my tail doing those cardio classes! lol (although as an ex-smoker I do enjoy running.....because I was never able to before)

Thanks Hon.... I appreciate the feedback.......:wink:

While you were writing this I already amended what I said to admit my mistake and agree with you. (see above) :flowerforyou:

It does if you do it right lol but I think the main point is..."and doesn't make you look better."

Yes you do. I have no idea what you are interpreting what I am saying as otherwise. Oh NM....just reread the original......gotcha. Whoops! :happy:

^^^ Yes. Thank you.....I forgot that :) (I didn't actually mention a deficit though) But you do maintain much more with adequate protein and lifting than if you were doing cardio alone. (which if I'm not mistaken burns lean muscle whether in a deficit or not)

^^^

^^^^^:happy:

The way I understand it.... Lifting burns fat and BUILDS lean muscle. Cardio burns fat and BURNS lean muscle. So....it ultimately depends on what you want to do. I'm still new at it....but that is basically what I've picked up. I want to be strong AND slim down.....make my body better overall....and I have found that…

rofl......they did.....it's called Planet Fitness :laugh:

Exactly

If you go to the gym after work I don't think perfume/cologne would be an issue because it seems it would wear off a bit after a few hours. What bothers me is when people will put it on just before they go to the gym (those male body sprays are the worst :sick: ) The wellness center I go to has a lot of senior citizens and…

Nothing is sexier THAN confidence :flowerforyou:

Yes Ma'am. I agree.:smile:

Awesome thread! Bump!

Bump!!!

That's classy.

Builder bars are what I have used (not exactly wonderful ing wise...I try to stay away from soy most of the time) They have been the best ing wise when the $ is short. We know your opinion of them, but, what would be your choice when strapped for cash?

I use those too. Some are better than others.

I'm saving this quote for later. Not everyone can afford $2-$5 coffee or personal trainers lol. I'm stretching it with making my own coffee and paying $40 a month for gym dues.

....

Oh yeah. I should add that strengthening my legs and bringing balance to stabilizing muscles has helped TREMENDOUSLY. Now I'm left with slight tendonitis symptoms (from the damaged tendon that didn't heal correctly)

I have similar issues. Patellar tracking disorder (my kneecap scrapes against the walls of the groove it's meant to ride in) caused by an injured tendon, caused by over doing plyo while being overweight sighs...and not strengthening the supporting muscles first. Only choice for now.....build strength in knee supporting…

^^^^^^Yes. Awesome info and support in that group.

In for what is sure to be an interesting discussion :-)
