Whey protein for breakfast?
So I bought whey protein by Body Fortress, and decided to have a protein shake for breakfast in place of the sugary cereal I have in the morning. For my other two meals I get protein from eggs and beans. My question is, most people recommend it as a post-workout shake. I don't workout in the morning though, so I don't…

Oats recipes anyone?
So I have stopped eating rice (my roommates and I don't share it, each buy their own, so I haven't bought any) and I eat whole-wheat tortillas and oats for carbs. I've run out of savory oats recipes though, and it would help if anyone could share some! Recipes please! :) :)

Zumba... how many calories do you burn?
I take fitness classes at the local gym and Zumba is kind of my "lazy" class, when I've not been exercising for awhile I attend it. I plugged in my numbers in a zumbacaloriesburned.hq website and it says I burned 498 calories... which seems too much. Although I do go hard and we have a lot of jumps, squat and lunge moves,…

I quit therapy......
because it did not help. I realize, that I have let demons take over me so much that I m not longer capable of being happy for long, and I let "distorted reality" take the place of any scrap of positivity very easily. Today, I was called ugly, fat and a lot of other things. Why am I reacting to them? I am an adult in an…

losing dress sizes?
Hi ! I'm really keen on losing two dress sizes by June. What do you think is the best way? Eating more protein? I can't afford stuff like quinoa because I'm on a graduate student, and since we share there are days we eat rice at home. What do you suggest?

Help! I've done the worst thing
I have done the worst possible thing. I had roommate issues (they were over hygienic, judgemental people and I did not meet their standards) who sprang it on me that they all wanted to move out, but since I could not afford it, I had to move out instead. A friend and their roommates were kind enough to let me stay with…

Binged badly... what next?
I was doing so well until yesterday, with exercise and eating at a deficit, I started eating cereal and egg in the morning for protein, an apple for a snack, rice for lunch and made my dinner light. My daily total has been around 1300 calories a day. But I binged crazy last night! After 1 am, I ate wildly and I'm sure my…

Serving sizes.... help!
So I have oat blenders for breakfast most days. A serving size equals 30 g, or 3/4th cup, which is around 120 calories. I have been using a standard cup to measure my cereal, but I found out today that the 3/4 mark equals 6 oz on the cup! Which means I have been eating 660 calories of cereal everyday!! How true is this?…

Advice for a burn out?
I am in grad school and I feel burned a lot of the time. At times I work enthusiastically into the night and complete all my work and at other times I'm listless with major headaches like now. During these times I don't feel like working/studying at all which scares me. I'm also really worried about my weight, and I…

I am losing control.....!
God losing weight has never been this difficult! Back at home I would have time for workouts, work and other stuff... but since I started grad school the stress is getting to me!

Zumba vs. Brazil Butt Lift?
I have both these programs at home. Though dragging myself out of the bed everyday is quite a chore, I want to do an efficient program, since I want to be able to lose atleast a couple inches in the last few weeks I'm home. Which is better? I do the Zumba Tone and Sculpt, does it match the BBL?

How do you keep yourself from missing someone?
It's weird, because I totally have a hard time liking....well, anyone. I like keeping just a few friends (and by few I mean 1-2) close and I rarely ever miss anyone, I'm just the detached kind and I've never felt deeply emotional about anybody. I joined work last year (right out of college) with the intention to stick…

People laud this drink a lot, and say they couldn't have gotten their results without it. But is it so important? I mean, can't we get our nutrients from normal fruits/veggies/lean protein? And is it so necessary to get results?
