I carb cycle and I do not replace my low carb days with fat. I replace it with lean protein...egg whites, tuna, chicken, turkey, etc.

NONE!!!! full of salt. Roast your own and cut it up. Cheaper and you control the sodium!

I would have to disagree that 1200 calories is 1200 calories. All calories is NOT created equal. How your body metabolizes and breaks down all those calories is very important. too. However, I do agree with eating schedule that works for each person. My trainer and dietitian have guided me to 6 meals a day to keep my…

I eat 6x a day. It works for me because I don't like feeling hungry with the big gaps of time with only 3 meals a day.

That's an unrealistic and unhealthy expectation. I looked at your diary and you may want to work on reducing the amount of processed foods you eat. Watch your sodium intake too.

Your body is very smart at adapting to things you do to it..including diet and exercise. So if you're doing the same thing over and over, you will see results at first then after your body gets used to it, your body will not let go of the extra weight as easily. So what to do? Change it up. I change up my diet and exercise…

I also take a women's complete multi-vitamin but also take fish oil and glucosamine chondroitin for my joints since I do alot of high impact workouts. Talk to your doctor and ask what he suggest for you. Each person is different and supplements should be treated likewise.

Go see a doctor

LMAO!!!!! awesome. :laugh:

I really like it. And yes, the zero carb days are hard. I was grumpy and no energy for my usual hard workouts but the results speak for itself. :) It really does help you lean out.

Tried it and loved it...well loved the results anyway. I do a 2-1-0 cycle. Day 1: 2 servings complex carbs, day 2: 1 serving complex carbs, and day 3: ZERO complex carbs. Also, I already don;' eat complex carbs after 3 pm. Also, I do the zero day on my non cardio or rest day. This is the carb cycle that my trainer uses for…

Depends on her body composition.

Doubling up on workouts or decreasing your calorie intake to average out the bad days does not make up for the bad previous days. It doesn't work like that. Once the day is done, it is done. So you start fresh. It's a constant battle but it is a win-able war. Keep at it. In no time, your not so good days will be outweighed…

Hi- I am also 5'1" and started at 168. I am currently at 135. You are welcome to friend me if you like.

Liquid Stevia.

I travel frequently for work and all over the US so planning is the key to staying on track. for the flights in and out, I prepack foods in my trusty lunch box. For the days I am at the new city, most hotels (if not all by now) serve at least a continental breakfast which usually includes boiled eggs. I get 10-12 and take…

All my meals are prepared and prepacked 1-2 days ahead of time. This gives me no excuse not to eat right and takes away any opportunities of eating badly.

I had the same problem for awhile and I was thinking maybe I wasn't pushing hard enough during the workout. Well...low and behold...it was my battery. The sensor on the chest strap wasn't transmitting the whole time because the battery was low. Check that first and see if it works. Cheap fix instead of getting a new one.

I've had great success with it. No carbs after 4pm and only eat clean carbs.

Sounds delish

Change up whatever you are doing. Change the cardio, increase intensity and change up your diet too. Your body gets used to whatever it was doing.

Good work girl!!! Keep it up.

Lots and lots and lots of lotion...find a lotion with cocoa butter or collagen. My aunt is a dermatologist and she said you just have to increase the elastin in your skin. Hydrate lots too!!!

no--it does not burn the most calories....depends on your speed and exertion. I can get a higher burn doing more intense interval workouts.

chai tea bags are awesome. Add a non-fat milk and yo have a lower fat lower calorie chai drink. YUM

I crave chocolate, chili, burger, pizza, you name it...I want it. lol I stay on track more often than I slip up. When I first started this journey, I slipped alot but now, I remind myself that PMS is NOT a disease that causes your hand to shove food in your mouth.

HIIT cardio -6x week Weight train one muscle group (legs 2x) each week with reps from 15-25 for 3-5 sets.

when doing squats, lunges, leg lifts, you want to make sure you are working your butt and not allow your quads and hamstrings to take over the movement. Along with those exercises, I do leg curls, leg extensions, hyperextensions, jump squats, jump lunges. Feel free to look at my pics to see the results I got.

My trainer said NO!!!

Yes---works great!
