What do you think about low fat?
Just curious - do you guys opt for low fat cheese, non fat greek yogurt, etc? Or go for the real thing? Obviously full fat has more calories, but high fat has more flavour and some studies say keeps you fuller. I'm not talking about chemical laden stuff, like margarine and low fat processed products, I'm just interested…

Balancing diet and exercise - fueling properly
Hi everyone, I've been working on getting rid of some bad habits and replacing them with healthy ones, such as cutting out junk food, and not snacking after dinner apart from 1-2 squares of dark chocolate. Now I feel like I'm ready to start tracking my calories. I really just wanted to hear from people about how you've…

BCAAs and Whey Protein
Hi everyone, Just wanted to get opinions on taking BCAAs and Whey Protein. As my main focus is on losing fat, it goes without saying that I'm doing this by lowering my calorie intake (TDEE-25%) and making sure I get a good amount of protein (through real foods). I'm not normally into supplements, although I've been…

Why can you not get it when you want it so bad?
I have a vision. It's of me, in a dance class, with a toned body and flat stomach. Abs, even. Feeling strong and having a ton of energy and not turning red after the 15 minute warm up. But I just turned 30, and I have never even come close to this vision. In fact, the more I try and the harder I fight, it seems that the…

Carry on like this or track calories?
Hey guys, I've just reached the 3 week mark of my new lifestyle, where I have been making healthy choices and strengthening my willpower muscle by just saying 'NO' to the junk and the sugar. It has gotten a lot easier. I feel like I'm moving away from the old me who would eat so much crap it's unreal. The healthy meals I…

Can I get some input on my workout schedule?
Hi guys, I try and get in the gym 3 times a week to do a full body strength workout: deadlifts, hip thrust, walking lunges, military press, bench press and a couple of others. I lift heavy and on a good day I can go in and out in 30 mins. However, my dance schedule is below, and seems to be making it tricky for me to get…

Wrote down what I ate for a week....
I recorded as precisely as possible what I ate this week. I didn't add up the calories going along because I wanted my focus to be on making healthier choices in the moment and begin instilling new, healthier habits that will last forever. It was definitely eye opening! I lost 2lbs, and when going back through and adding…

Going out of my mind!
Hi guys, I need some help :( I feel like this is never going to happen for me. Today I've hit my peak weight of 228lbs (5'8, F). I just can't understand how I've let this happen. I've always been overweight my whole life (I'm nearly 30) and have lost weight every now and again, but then I always gain it back. I know it's…
