Gin or vodka and tonic, drop in a slice of lime and it's pretty refreshing and low cal.

The trainer and nutritionist I worked with for a bit, suggested to me taking a teaspoon in 8 oz of water before eating a meal to allow for better absorption of nutrients - and he was right! After taking it I became ridiculously hungry, I wouldn't eat more than I usually would, but my god did I want food, and I wanted it…

Should only be consumed during or after exercise.

The ATP the body requires to perform glycolysis is produced during glycolysis. Creatine is functional only in the ATP-CP system, which will at very most, in highly trained athletes, reached up to 15 seconds before functionality dramatically decreases as glycolysis takes over.

Creatine is effective and safe according to nearly every study ever published on it. A loading phase isn't really required. 5-10 g/day is plenty sufficient. I use creatine pills myself (same *kitten*, different pile), and they work quite well. Creatine is involved in energy production, and it causes a small amount of water…

Not a sugar addict, but I get my cravings. Strategies: 1) Cheat day or meal, don't go nuts though! I use a cheat meal every 3-4 days allowing something small and 2 weeks allow something bigger (i,e, maybe have a small bag of chips every 3-4 days and have chicken wings as a larger cheat) 2) Allow a small amount of something…

Not currently, but in HS we used to do tire workouts all the time (throw them different ways, lift them). Replacing a bench with an exercise ball and doing everything with dumbbells unilaterally is one hell of a workout for the muscle group and the core. Used to lay back on an exercise ball and have someone toss a medicine…

Drop the long bouts of cardio, opt for high intensity intervals. Add in 2-3 resistance training sessions a week and the weight should melt.

Meal replacement shakes are quick and easy (albeit expensive, Muscle Milk cookies 'n creme is delicious though), as a replacement for them you could use a regular whey protein with some fibre (which you can buy pretty cheap, slows digestions and increases satiety). A salad with some chicken breast and a low-fat dressing is…

Not sure if it was mentioned already but meat is a source of creatine, very important for resistance training and sprinting. If you stop eating meat I'd suggest that you look into taking a low dose of a creatine supplement.

I'm a huge believer in the usage of cheat meals/days. I have attempted to cut everything out before and it failed miserably. Now every 3 days I get one cheat (be it the majority of the time is like a small bag of chips, also usually Lay's Baked) and I find outside of that I don't get any real cravings now. And let's face…

How many meals a day do you eat on average though?
