I have recently dicovered that I am allergic to some veggies and fruits on top of the sensitivities to Wheat and gluten. I was great maintaining my potassium intake before all of this. My main source was from bananas and unfortunately they are on the list, I know I can take supplements but I was wondering if there is…

Just curious about the eat every 3 hrs.
Ok so Chris says to eat every 3 hours. Which for the most part is easy but I'm just curious as to what you do in terms of time. Do you count the 3 hours the minute you start eating your meal? Or Do you count 3 hours when you finish eating your meal? and do you think it really makes a difference? For me I find that If I…

Struggling =(
Ok so I thought slingshot would be easy, that I would be able eat high carbs but healthy high carb days. I don't know what the heck happened, my body went from the mind set of eating healthy to pigging out on crap food. I will admit normally I would be binging and eating a ton of food and I haven't gone to that extreme. I…

Slingshot
Has anyone finished a slingshot week? I am just entering my first slingshot week and I am kinda worried about having a week of high carb days. It is kinda funny before I started this program I was a bit stressed trying to figure out the low carb days but now I find them easier to plan than a high carb day. Just curious how…

Snowball fight = ?
OK no heart rate monitor with you, and you all of a sudden have a spontaneous snowball fight and jumping from the garage ceiling into a mountain of snow. ( we have had over 50cm in the last week and a half) So how would you mark this in myfitness? I entered it as 4.0 brisk walk for 30min but not sure if that's over or…

Conflicting advice and now confused as ever.
According to Jillian Michaels you should do 40% carbs 30% protein and 30% for fat, and be around 1200-1500 cal/day. MFP says 1240 net cals for me. I want to be 135lbs but my trainer says both Jillian and MFP aren't correct. My trainer feels that I should be at 50%carbs 40% protein and 10% fat because I am wanting to burn…

Free weights or Machine?
I am curious to know which is better (Free weights or machine). With my trainer we did both, but mainly stuck with machines, now that I don't have my trainer I am a bit insecure doing the machines so I am wondering if I can just stick with free weights. Or just stick to cardio and do a dvd for weight training, if it were…

I worked out with a trainer for a year and the weight loss was slow (25 lbs in a year), I joined MFP about a month ago and I have been between the 1270-1500 calories a day sometimes I'm a little under. I am back at the gym 4x a week minimum but the scale is saying that I am…
