Guess I scared everyone away with my blue-ness

Stalk mine! I dont eat clean either though. Lol.

Lick :P

If you don't exercise (such as strength training) you will most likely lose muscle tone along with the fat you are losing. When you exercise at a deficit it helps your body say "Hey, I'm using this muscle so i should keep it" and you will burn more fat and less of your muscle mass. If you don't, you could enter into the…

um....what?

If I was a guy sure!

I workout hard in the morning before I know I'm going out drinking. I can drink like a fish so I always leave about 500 cals from my diet and try to burn 500 cals either that day or the day after. And yes...I have drank 1000 cals in a night easy lol. Sometimes I've even fasted the next day because it helps with my…

Le google research mixed with a lil bro science eh? He he. Ghrelin is why people get hungry :D

I was a binge eater for a long time and honestly, the only thing that helped was to "stop" trying to diet. After I went for a few weeks allowing myself to eat what I wanted throughout the day without worrying about it I A) only gained like 2 lbs and B) when I went back to eating on a "diet" (not really a diet) I just made…

Yeah when I see people at 1200 its really shocking. I don't know but when I workout IM JUST SO HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. I have to eat all the foodz. lol

Wow I didn't think the OP's comment was rude at all and I completely agree. It downright pisses me off when people give my kid garbage all day. Yeah I do let my kid eat some junk now and then, as do i but some kids parents are nuts. NUTS. I don't drink soda, why the hell am I going to let my kid drink it?

heres a really crappy pic of my chest piece but I don't feel like getting out the "good camera" lol. ^^^ Not sure how to resize this but its just part of the right side, elvis is on the left..

Omg triforce! i have one too! Here's my newest up my leg, but I have a lot.. lol

someone edgy

hug!

sodium really isnt a big deal unless you have heart issues or the "bloat" really bothers you that much. If I feel bloated from salt I just drink a lot of water and sit in a sauna and feel much better. I always go over on sugar. Almost always. I'd say the most important part of a new diet is calories and adequate protein.…

I prefer to randomly eat these foods in moderation. I've done the cheat day thing and it doesn't work for me. I tend to binge on it and go out of control. If I eat one thing or a couple things i want a day I don't feel as restricted and it works better for me. If you don't have a problem with compulsion though then go for…

Liar Liar! Lol

He stills should be explaining his reasoning rather than talking about "feeding the fat". That seems rather unprofessional to me.

uh....What?! Lol. I'd say get a new trainer that isn't a cocky d bag and I'd insist on knowing his reasoning...:P

You lost the amount of weight you could lift? How big was your deficit? Even while losing weight I increased my strength dramatically...but I also wasn't eating only 1200 calories like a lot of people do

May start with a dumbbell in the 10-15 lb range if you're new to it. If you aren't tired at all after one set then switch to a heavier one

heavy lifting is just that...Lift what feels heavy to you! You should start at something that is farely challenging at about 8-10 reps x3 sets and the last few of the last set should be rather difficult. There isn't a set # to start at for every person, just pick something that feels fairy heavy and pump it. lol. I use a…

I think your deficit may be bigger than you think it is. Some days eating at maintenance is fine. Your body doesn't have an exact hunger schedule. It will be hungrier some days and not as hungry other days. You will be less miserable if you allow yourself to eat "within a reasonable amount" of your goal than try to nail it…

Carve pumpkins!

Think of it this way, your stomach begins to break down protein when it reaches the stomach and then begins to be absorbed in the small intestine. The flow of your bile through the small intestine doesn't slow down just because there is an increased level of protein in it so it can all be absorbed. There is only so much…

You are trying to lose 5-10 lbs at 12% body fat? Something here isn't right. at 12% you would have most likely stopped having a period and you would be very very lean....I think the calorie restriction is what is making you bloated honestly, but it could be something else. If you aren't drinking enough water you can get…

Just remember your body can only absorb about 30+ or - g of protein average at one time, the rest is just passed through your body...If you are trying for that much protein make sure you are spreading it out!

LOL... They trollin, they hatin

Ghrelin, the hunger stimulating hormone is a big reason for people gaining back weight they have lost. Your body doesn't realize it has lost the weight and therefore needs less calories for quite some time after you've been at this smaller weight. Hence why people tend to gain back weight. It happens when you are feeling…
