Tim Ferris/4-Hour Body?
Hey all! I'm just curious whether any of you have tried the "4-hour body" plan and, if so, what your experiences were with it. I'm not looking for an extreme diet change, but a lot of what he describes seems relatively reasonable for as far as diet plans go.

Short people: how much do you actually eat?
Hey guys! So my recommended caloric intake is 1200 per day -- I think pretty standard around here -- but when I eat that much, it feels like a LOT. Like, a LOT a LOT. (Unless it's unhealthy food) A few clarifications: I'm 5' 0.5"-ish, a vegetarian, and try to avoid excess dairy, so those calories come with a lot of bulk. I…

Jillian Michaels vs. P90x vs. Insanity vs. ...
Hey all! I know this comes up all the time, but since there are always new versions of this thing coming out, I figured I'd bring it up again! I'm not necessarily looking to start any of these right away, but I'm just curious what everyone's experience with the various '30 (25, 60, 90, whatever) minutes a day to...!"…

Moderating cheat days
Hi all, I know this is a somewhat controversial topic, and I'd love to get everyone's thoughts on it. I'm trying to follow a 'moderation is key to all' diet, but my boyfriend -- whose goals are sleep-health-related, rather than purely fitness/thinness-related -- follows a much stricter plan, which includes an…

Balancing fitness and life
Hi all! This is my first post on the boards, so ... *deep breath* :smile: I just started trying to get healthy again about three weeks ago. I'd reached an all-time high weight, and I was more easily fatigued than I'd ever been. I started going to the gym 5-6 days a week, keeping track of calories, etc. But here's the…
