IF and Weight Training
So I'm currently Intermittent Fasting (IF) and I've decided to start weight training. It's been confusing listening to everyone saying different things about whether I can or can't eat after a workout. My current eating window is 12pm-8pm. I work Mon-Fri 8am-4pm. So, I'm trying to do my workouts in the morning around 6ish.…

Keto/IF Friends?
Hello everyone! I'm back at it again, but this time is for real! Anyone wanna be friends and motivate each other?

I can't change my eating habits!!
Every week never fails. I go through the week thinking I'm going to start on Monday... Monday comes and I get through 1/2 of the day going strong and then the next minute I'm in a bag of chips, candy, etc. I know it takes a long time to develop a healthy eating schedule, but why can't my "being overweight" trump my eating…

Scared to step on the scale...
So I started work almost a month ago and I have reverted back to my old routine. I'm not at all happy with myself. I find it very difficult to try to eat healthy at work. I don't have enough time to sit and eat a salad. We have a bar that is available to us (fried chicken, potato wedges, burger sliders), which makes it…

Running At Home??
I know it sounds unusual to run at home, but I don't have a place to run where I live. I'd be a workout just getting to the park plus I start work tomorrow so I really don't have the time to get there and get back. Would running in place have the same effect as running outside (minus the hills outside, etc)?

Can't Consume Daily Calorie Intake At Work
I just started my new job at a gas station today and not realizing I had actually moved so much, I come home to my FitBit stats and see that I have burned over 3000 calories. I don't get proper breaks (5 breaks 5 mins at a time). I worked out before I left and ate before it was time for me to leave for work. 3-4 into my…

Calorie Counting Addict??
I've recently started my journey to lose 100 pounds. So far down 10 pounds Yay! Anyways, I've been reading about calorie deficits and whatnot and so everything I eat I log into my FitBit account. I've been trying to just focus on portion control, but I end up counting calories again. It's really annoying trying to keep up…

Raw Food Diet??
Has anyone ever tried the raw food diet? Is it successful for weight loss? I know it's probably not recommended for a long term lifestyle, but maybe I can try it for a week or two.

Chills During Workout?
Does anyone else get goosebumps while doing a workout? I was doing an Insanity workout and nearing the end, I would get the chills.. My body is still hot and I'm sweating. I'm confused why this happens.. Am I the only one?

Weekly Workout Routine for Women
Since I have now become more knowledgeable about water loss and fat loss, I have been more accepting to losing 1-2 pounds per week. I'm pushing more towards 2 pounds, so I figured I'd start strength training (and more cardio, of course). This is where things get kinda confusing. I've been doing Insanity for 3 weeks now. I…

High Protein Snacks/Food on a Budget? Help!
I'm just not into whey protein or any protein shake. I can't get past the texture/taste. I really love the Oikos Triple Zero yogurt. It has 15g of protein, 6 grams of sugar, and only 120 calories. The thing is, I don't want to eat them all just to get my recommended amount of protein a day. That's tooooo expensive. I try…

Only lost 1 pound?!
I've been pushing myself to the limit doing INSANITY faithfully everyday. I managed to lose 10 pounds the first two weeks. I weighed myself today (every Saturday) and only lost 1 pound..

Binge Relapse!!
This past week I've been snacking a little extra and eating higher calorie foods and I'm afraid that I may relapse.. I've been doing so well with eating right, but I've just being aggressively craving all the junk food and fried this and fried that. UGH! I chew gum and drink water to stop the cravings but it only lasts…

Should You Exercise the Same Time Everyday?
Hey I was wondering if it matters if you exercise at different times of the day? I'm doing Insanity so it's 6 days on and rest day is Sunday. I normally do it at 11am everyday but today I didn't get it done so will do it tonight. Will this effect my results doing it different times of the day? Thanks for any advise you may…

What is your favorite protein shake recipe/mix?
I cannot seem to find the right blend of ingredients to make my protein shake taste good and less grainy. I bought the vegan protein power and got some almond milk. I mean, it was good but it was REALLY chalky.. what do you guys put in your shake?

Weight Training and Cardio?
I'm on my 3rd week of INSANITY which is an intense 60-day total-body training program. I've decided that now is the time I should probably start weight training now that I have lost 10 pounds(90 more to go!). How do you guys incorporate weight training with cardio in the same day? Which one first? How long? FYI: Each…

Lose Weight Without Losing Muscle?
I've recently started my journey to lose 100 pounds and so since then I've been doing A LOT of research on how I should start. One thing I read first was to create a calorie deficit. I learned that I burn 1800 calories a day and so creating a 500 deficit would mean I would eat 1300 calories a day to lose weight. I noticed…

Exercising while fasted??
I've been researching a lot lately about exercising while in the "fasted" state. There are plenty of people arguing that it is good or just not recommended. How do you guys feel about fasted exercising?
