Trying a new approach and need tips
So I've been here a while and have tried lots of things. I've had success in the past working out like crazy but don't have the time/schedule to workout that much. I don't have access to a gym so my workouts consist of running outside or on a treadmill doing C25k and a mix of 30-45 minute workout videos (Jillian micheals,…

Fitness Routine based on DNA?

Crossfit & Pregnancy
So found this article today and think it is interesting.... http://www.ivillage.com/pregnant-weightlifter-causes-controversy/6-a-547610?obref=obnetwork I personally don't have a strong opinion one way or another as I can see the pros and cons. I myself have done a bootcamp at a crossfit gym and will be starting an actual…

Sodium Levels
Basic Info: I have been working on tracking better and have been working out more. As part of my change to get more protein in my diet I have started eating a lot of turkey sandwhiches (usually 1 1/2 a day during the work week). I had heard but never really listened to the warnings that prepackaged lunch meat has a ton of…

Irrational Fears
Does any one have any ridiculous irrational fears? I thought of this on my way to work this morning... I tend to take a deep breath and brace myself when I drive under an over pass because I am afraid an 18-wheeler or large truck will drive off the side of the road and land on top of my vehicle. This fear only started a…

Kyani vitamins
Just learned of this and am curious if any one has used it. It is liquid vitamins "all-natural." I have a hard time taking vitamins in pill form though I manage to choke down iron & vitamin D supplements. I tried a sample of Kyani and it tasted a bit like cranberry juice. Of course they have a whole system they try to sell…

"Starvation mode".... am I in it?
I feel like my body is starting to plateau and based on several other posts believe I may not be eating enough. My BMR is about 1500 and MFP has me eating at 1200. I am also exercising regularly but have been bad about not eatting my exercise calories back all the time. I just adjusted my goals to lose 1lb a week instead…

Am I thinking of this correctly?
So I have been using MFP for a little while and have read a lot of posts about exercising, starvation mode, eatting exercise calories back, etc, etc..... I am currently trying to lose fat and want to focus on building muscle later. The reason I say later is... and I know it sounds stupid but I'm competitive and have to at…

FDA Guidelines for acceptable contamination
After hearing about the crap in our food a lot lately, my friends and I decided to see for ourselves exactly what the FDA is willing to allow food producers to pass off as "food". Below is the site.... nearly everything has insects which I understand the veggies will have, but do they have to have "mammalian excreta" and…

"Green" Shakes
To get more veggies in I have been trying shakes with spinach for my breakfasts.... I have modified one that is popular on Pinterest to get more protein in. I put everything listed below together and blend till smooth then add ice until I get it to the consistency I like. This usually makes nearly 32 oz! 1 med-large banana…
