Dr. Shintani's "Eat More, Weigh Less" book.......
Has anyone read this book? And if so what are your thoughts? It was written 1993 with my book as a 10th printing in 1998. When I started this EM2WL group I was also browsing www.thriftbooks.com for books to read and I saw this book so bought it thinking it was the same thing. It pretty much is (I'm only half way through)…

If lifting (IM doing NROL4W) when do you start cutting?
I know there is a bulking and cutting phase but when do you know when to do the cutting and for how long? I was surfing bodybuilding .com and after eating almost 2000 cals I cant fathom cutting back to the 1200-1300 they suggested although their plan did look like a lot of food. They never say for how long to be in the…

TDEE factors this in so…

Just started stage 1 today...help....:(
I dont think I did this right. I tried rereading the stage 1 over and over to make sure I understood it. I have been doing some form of weightlifting for the last 20 years. I just finished 60 days of the Supreme90 program which was tough. I stopped at 60 days as the next 30 days didnt seem like it increased in challenge…

How do you clean your HRM strap?
My Polar ft4's manual says to wash the strap in 104 degree F in the washing machine yet the next sentence it says NOT to submerge. Ugh. So how do you clean it and allow it to still work properly?
