I quit a little over a year ago with an ecig. If you go that route, buy a REAL set up.

*kitten* happens. If you're expecting the math to be exact and for you to weight X by Y, you're going to have a bad time. With that said, the hunger may be related to higher carbohydrate intake. So being a bit more aware of when you consume them may help. http://www.spinalhealth.net/insulin.html

I guess I'll hop on the friend train.

Creatine, if you're a responder. Caffeine preworkout. Bcaa's IF you lift fasted. Only things I'd recommend, none of which are exactly what you're asking for.

It really depends on how many times you bring kale up in a day. If it's a lot, you should be safe.

If it's not 100% berries/nuts/kale your insides will rot out. /s

Step away, give it a week and check again. If its still an issue, evaluate what you've been doing. Are you measuring your foods properly? Snacking and not tracking? Ask yourself a lot of questions. From there, make adjustments and experiment. Figure any goal you have is long term and don't allow small things negate your…

Muscle is metabolically expensive to make, so the body wont just discard it unless necessary. Honestly, since you gained weight and it hasn't been that long, I'd say you probably didn't lose much if any.

Apple cinnamon oatmeal and a banana sounds pretty good for breakfast. Snacks, air popped popcorn (you can do it in the microwave with a brown paper bag, just chuck some kernels in there) and maybe something like carrots if that's your thing.

Power lifting is the way to go. As far as cardio goes, it's not necessary for losing weight but it is good for you long term. I would suggest just finding something you can live with in terms of cardio. Whether it's hiking, biking or mma. It doesn't need to be you up on a hamster wheel.

Overhead press, incredibly underrated

First thing Monday. I don't do cheat days at all, but if I did I'd do it prior to my cheat days.

From my perspective, do what is maintainable in the short term with long term goals in mind. Realize those long term goals aren't going to be achieved any time soon. If all you can do is 7 minutes at a a time, do it 2-3 times a week. Just be consistent. Consider other activities such as lifting. With calories, honestly my…

Doms, they'll last 3-4 days. Not really muscle soreness, it's the connective tissue. If you're consistent with your workout routine, ie doing it every 3-4 days you'll grow out of it.

SW: 270 CW: 215 GW: Don't know Started mid december 2013 Reason : Bad break up, needed something to fill the void and do something selfish for myself.

Just throwing this out there, I read one line and try to remember where I had heard of AAEM from

They've been pretty well studied, the only opposing studies I've seen were basically conducted by scientific fraudsters for publicity. Labeling implies there's something wrong with it. We don't force organic products to be labeled as such. As far as being banned in some countries, it's because of false information spread…

In the 7 months I've been losing weight, I've maybe done cardio for a total of maybe 4 hours.

Congrats on quitting with ecigs, I did the same thing and haven't smoked a cigarette since September myself. With that out of the way, don't be that douche who blows clouds where it isn't appropriate to smoke.

Eliquids contain Propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavorings and sometimes nicotine. Oil is no bueno unless you're looking for lipid pneumonia

24 checking in. Active daily (though not posting all the time).

I've been doing it around 6 months. It's food timing and not really a diet. The benefit for me is the ability to eat two larger meals instead of trying to break my calories into 3+ meals. Also, I already tended to skip breakfast anyway. The only discomfort I've had is waking up in the morning and not being able to eat…

I have one with meals, the carbonation helps with fullness imo. Rest of the time its water or water + bcaa.

Personal preference plays a big part in this. For me, I experimented a bit. I didn't like splitting the calories up, having 3 tiny meals just made me hungrier the whole day. I ended up just going the intermittent fasting route and split the majority of my calories into 2 meals. On an average day, I eat one at noon and…

I've lost ~50 lbs since mid December by just reducing my calories. As much as I hear about the magic of keto, I'm in the 'eat whatever you want, just less' camp. The only real major changes I've made otherwise, is just reducing fast food to once or twice a week.

This pretty much right here. I've been lifting heavy and losing weight. My strength has gone up significantly, but along with losing fat I am also losing muscle.

Being Frank, you sound like a zealot who would want the government to come in and regulate it because you think people are too stupid to make choices for themselves.

Weight loss for the most part is just calories in/out, there are a few exceptions. You could essentially eat fruit rollups and twinkies every day and lose weight if you wanted to, it's not advisable though. Your diet sounds fine though, only suggestion I would make is don't drink soda if they are adding to your calories,…
