Soy + Boobs?
I have a friend that is swearing that once she started drinking soy milk a few years ago that her boobs grew a cup size. Does anyone have any personal experience with similar results? The idea that the phytoestrogens in soy makes your boobs bigger but the internet generally says "no, you idiot, it doesn't work like that"…

Best bread for sandwiches?
I love turkey and chicken sandwiches. I usually eat them "dry" with just veggies, even when I wasn't on a diet. But now that I'm looking to eat healthier, I'm at as loss as to which bread would be the best to buy. I'm looking for whole grain, low calories. Nutritious and filling. I've heard that Country Kitchen's Light…

Innocent curiosity. Kind of.
Okay, my friends and I are goofing off and we were making jokes about hardcore workouts and snorting protein powder. But now that the thought is out there, what would happen if you snorted protein powder? Hold on, hold on, hold on. This isn't a troll post and I'd like to think that you'd assume that I'm not seriously about…

Why did my protein powder do this in the microwave?
I was trying to experiment with making different diy protein bars with supplies I had on hand. The particular one I was working on is a peanut butter cup. (fyi: I normally melt chocolate over the stove in a glass container surrounded by the water.) I already had my base chocolate and peanut butter in place, all I had to do…

Micros?
How are your micros determined? They seem pretty irrelevant to most people, but it seems like it might pretty beneficial in the long run and I'm a fan of learning, so out of curiosity... how would I find out appropriate micro goals? Anyone have any interesting or helpful links to articles? Thanks so much.

Ripped in 30?
I started the 30 Day Shred in January without weights, I started the 30DS over again this month with weights and I'm really liking the results. I just love the circuit training, I really want to check out the Ripped in 30 but I've heard a lot of mixed reviews. A lot of women seem to be disappointed with the lack of…

Calories burned for beginning runner?
I'm trying to log my running into my workouts, but I honestly have no idea how fast I'm going. I'm brand new to this, I'm asthmatic (triggered by exercise, but I try to control it by walking) and my shoes are awful. I can jog for about five minutes, take a minute break to walk, five minute jog, one minute walk, and one…

Educate me on Smoothie King?
When I'm busy at work and I can't find time to make myself anything, I just swing by Smoothie King and grab myself whatever smoothie meets my needs for the day. But earlier at GNC I overheard some men talking about the low quality ingredients they use, something about not having enough nutrients to absorb the protein they…

Protein Powder Suggestions?
I just bought a carton of powdered Muscle Milk and upon closer inspection at home, I realized that I get my 32g from /two/ scoops (350cal) rather than just one, which at a glance I assumed I was buying. Bummer, I was really hoping that for that high of a calorie count I'd be getting more protein... not to mention I did a…

Eating foods in a certain order?
I've heard that if you eat foods in the "wrong" order that it can ferment and disrupt proper digestion and make you bloat? Anyone have any personal experience/information about this?

Cheat Day? You clever little lesson, you!
My birthday was on March 4th and I told myself that I was going to not log my entire food day until the night was completely over. I was going to eat whatever the want, however I wanted it, and whenever I wanted it! And so I did! When I logged in my results the next day, I was actually pretty surprised. Pleasantly so! Not…

Upstairs apartment. Quiet night-time workout?
I normally do a 30 minute workout in the morning and I'd love to be able to exercise for around 30 minutes when I get home from work, but it's pretty late in the evening and I live in an upstairs apartment. I like the 30DS/RI30 workouts a lot, but there's quite a bit of bouncing around that I'm sure would disturb the…

Ladies! No HRM, how many 30DS/RI30 calories burned?
I'm 5'4'' and I float around 110lbs. Could anyone around that size post their readings or their estimated calories burned for Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred or Ripped In 30? I'm doing both and I don't have the money for a good HRM and I'm trying to be accurate on my exercise log. I've just been putting in "Circuit training,…

Broke Like A Joke
I'm a tattoo apprentice and I don't get paid regularly since I'm still learning the trade, I get paid in tips for doing chores around the shop. The dedication will pay off, but for now, I'm hungry. So help a girl out, what are some of your favorite inexpensive, but healthy foods? Any low-cal struggle food recipes out there?

Birthday 100calorie Cupcakes?
So... my 25th birthday is coming up in March. (Ah, the "almost 30" marker!) I'm trying to do a little preparation. Although it's going to be my "ultimate cheat day that I totally deserve", I'm going to try to be a bit responsible with my naughtiness. Moderation is the key, right? Anyway, my best friend and I are trying to…

Your favorite 100c-150c recipes?
I have a hard time reaching my calorie goal, it usually ends up about 100 calories under, so I'm trying to put together a little booklet for myself of recipes ranging from 100 calories to 150 calories per serving... 200 calories tops, but it has to be /reeeeaaally/ freakin' good, guys. Quick and easy or savory and worth…

Hurt ankle?
Before I even begin... no, I haven't gone to the doctor yet. Yes, I know I should. Now that we've got that out of the way, I did *something* to my ankle and it feels like a strong pinch on my achilles tendon. It was easily ignorable a couple of days ago, I thought it would just go away so I kept on doing my 30 Day Shred…

Wanting to start practicing yoga...?
...but I have no idea where to start. I love workout dvd's. I'm a Jillian Michaels fan, but I heard that her yoga dvd was more of a yoga-inspired workout than actual yoga. Are there any good easy-to-grab dvd's from Target or Walmart or such that would help me start out? Or if there are any good videos/channels on youtube…

Help with a healthy pizza?
I've never made my own pizza before and I've been craving pizza like crazy since I've started my diet. I'd really like to custome make a healthy pizza for myself, but I don't really know where to start. I'm looking for a "yum" factor for as few calories as possible. I know I like chicken and spinach. I've heard that goat…

Rock Climbing Gym?
A rock climbing gym is opening up not too far away from where I live. I've never really frequented a gym before, much less a rock climbing one, but it sounds like a lot of fun. Does anyone have any personal experience with these kinds of places? How are they for working out, are they particularly beneficial? How about…

Favorite Dance Game?
I used to play a lot of DDR when I was younger and someday I'd love to get my old Playstation stuff back to start playing again, it's been years. (I still have those badass inch foam mats, haha!) But for now I only have the 360 Kinect and I just recently bought Dance Central 3. It's pretty fun, better than I thought. But…

30 Day Shred, Halfway Through w/No Results?
I'm a 24 year old female, 120lbs, 5'4''. I don't care how much I weigh, but I definitely want to get in shape and look good without my clothes on. I've always been pretty slender my whole life, I've just kind of struggled with a flabby belly that's painfully embarrassing when I pull my shirt off. It's not like a pot belly…
