So many peeps on on the high horse! IDK about Americans but on a big night out that amount of drinking is pretty damn normal in Australia! Science on the topic: http://www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html How I do it: make sure I exercise during the day. Eat lots of protein and fibrous veg…

Are you scared of glucose or carbs for some reason?

vomit = negative calorie food. No I don't log that.

Why not just post pics of your legs? Get some outside opinion? Re injuries: you can get injured walking across the street, kicking a football, knitting, whatever! :tongue: Machines and free weights have their own pros and cons. Anyone who limits themselves to only 1 is shortchanging their long term results IMO.

Slow and steady wins the race. (hopefully :p)

http://lowcarbcentral.com.au/low-carb-shop/low-carb-flours.html I just got some LC pizza and bagel flour, cake flour and some brownie mix. Macros on these are AWESOME! Unlike many low carb products that just increase the fat content (and then end up same or higher cals) these have close to equal carb and protein and very…

injectable creatine

bloody good page people! Tried the double stacker. I'd give it an 8/10 or so. Pretty tasty, quite filling but I think I still prefer the salsa grilled twister (and 200 cals less or so) 55P/55C/37F semi squished double stacker (doesn't look as good as the ad haha)

14/8/14 BW 80.5kg bro workout initially. Then tried a couple of RDL's in my class and they felt great. Was in the mood for some proper deadlifts. Recent PB for sure considering it was on a stiff bar with no chalk and no belt. Happy with that. And a few extra accessory exercises. Tried the double stacker. I'd give it an…

12/8/14 BW 81kg Bro spec upper workout minus left shoulder use again. All about da pump :p Energy was WELL down today. Second day of no caffeine and it hit me hard! I decided to eat some more during the day but didn't do much. I got 10hrs sleep on Monday night and still had a nap in the middle of the day! (as I ate more…

OP: you need to stop thinking about various foods as "good" or "bad". If you are well under you calorie goal, then ANY food is good as it provides energy. Some provide more micronutrients than others but if you have a variety of foods (sometimes difficult on very low cal diets) then micronutrient needs should be met. So…

99.99% if all supplements sales people have no clue what they are talking about.

You bw multiplier figures are WAY off. Typically BW x 14-16 is estimated maintenance. BW x10-12 is a good starting point for gross calories for weight loss. So anywhere from 1700 - 2050 would be more appropriate. Track ACCURATELY and CONSISTENTLY. Do that for 2 weeks at least, check weight and measurements and assess from…

Muscles are dumb pieces of meat. That don't need to be "confused" or mixed up or anything like that. This is correct. Progressive tension overload (more reps, sets, volume basically) is the most important factor. There are many ways to skin a cat :smile:

whatever non caloric sweetener the coffee place has on hand. Not fussed about natural or not.

Was going to post that. A variety is best IMO. I like lower reps for big compound movements and higher reps for isolation stuff.

4 weeks out from first comp here. Dinner tomorrow Flexible dieting 101

Did it for about 3 days a few years ago. Then I realized I wasn't allowed to have my oats. Deal breaker.

Poptart questie? mexican loaded potatoes more of my bacon/veg/egg scramble

11/8/14 BW 80.9kg Deload week. Girl on leg press doing what looked like GVT with 5mins rest at 40kg so I ditched that idea. All easy as expected. Showed physio my left shoulder xray yesterday and surprisingly there is actually plenty of space between clavicle and acromium (8mm left, 9mm right). This means that surgury for…

10/8/14 BW 80.0kg (new low) Burnt 600 cals on the recumbent bike while drinking scotch. Every 70 cals I burnt I earnt 1 more :p Had a nice high day. Cals 4486 314P/491C/96F Alright people. My first Vlog. Full day of eating flexible eating/IIFYM style. It's very amateur but that is just me. I didn't realize I sounded so…

Definitely going to try the creamed zucchini :smile: choc/peanut/cinnamon oats with choc pop tart, PB tim tams and banana choc/peanut/cinnamon oats with dark choc tim tams and banana chunky steak pie GF's on the left with whole eggs, cheese and toast. My poverty macros version on the right.

7/8/14 BW 81.9kg Bro day. Mad pump yo. Cals 2493 188P/279C/74F 8/8/14 BW 80.9kg (equal low) FULL rest day. No cardio. Left shoulder feeling like ****. Went to physio and got a loosen up. Cals 2489 220P/231C/59F Recent EATS choc/peanut/cinnamon oats with choc pop tart, PB tim tams and banana choc/peanut/cinnamon oats with…

^^^ very well said. I believe the .5-1% figure is aimed at people who are relatively lean getting very lean so basically guys about 15% or less. I'd say you can probably get away with a slightly higher loss from 20% but I'd only do that short term. FWIW I've done Lyle's RFL in the past 3 times and have maintained strength.…

I have my daily average that I aim to hit over the week. So yes, going over one day means under on another. I'm intrigued, you used kgs and y'all in the one paragraph. I thought y'all was American only saying?

whenever you want. For weight loss, the type of rice is going to make SFA difference compared to the amount of rice you are consuming. You should NEVER eat lentils... because they taste like *kitten* :tongue:

you are actually at a healthy weigh. If anything that is low IMO. If you want to base your meals off some sort of food, I would say: at least palm sized piece of lean meat some fibrous veggies some starch (rice, pasta, potato etc) and some fat (typically the flavouring for the above e.g. satay sauce) Track cals, lift some…

Are you saying that these other liquids won't help with hydration? I don't know how big families do it personally. At my place it is just me and my fiancé and our fridge is always chock full and we have a chest freezer too. Fridge normally has: meat defrosting various dairy (cottage cheese, yoghurt, ricotta, cream cheese,…

Japan Thailand USA (although really just like big brother of Australia :laugh:)

oats are probably my favourite food :smile: choc/peanut/cinnamon oats with banana and dark choc tim tams. Highly recommended
