cutting fat - BODY BUILDERS
I'm fine with my size & my weight at this point, I just really would like to start cutting fat but retaining as much muscle as possible. I need some advice... maybe from body builders? about what kinds of food to eat/ proportions. Am I doomed to only eat chicken breast and salad? HELP?

saving calories for the PM?
So, I'm back on 1200 instead of 1500. And I KNOW this is bad, but I've been enjoying saving my calories for dinner. Eating a 150-200 calorie breakfast and a 200-300 calorie lunch, then being able to eat a 600-700 calorie dinner can be far more satisfying! Especially when eating dinner with people who don't necessarily…

the more carbs I eat the hungier I am
I ate a lot of carbs early today and I kept getting ravenously more hungry. Ended up eating more high carb food and not feeling sated at all whatsoever, exceeding my calorie goal quite heavily. Seemed the more I ate the more I craved carb heavy foods. Exceeding my calorie limit isn't normal for me, I'm usually pretty good,…

96 oz water challenge!
I'm going to try to drink 96 oz of water a day before 7pm, I'm gonna try this 4 days straight (through Saturday) and see how I feel. My mother, who has lost over 100 pounds in the last year does this every day. She says it helps with her energy levels and appetite not to mention makes her skin look amazing! It will be very…

First sober weekend in 6 years
Hi. I'm 25. I love to drink. Its a chapter in my life I want to end as I have fitness goals, hobbies, and a savings account that have been put secondary to partying a little too much on the weekends in my early 20s. This is my first sober weekend in six years (no alcohol or cigarettes!!) and it was a little more difficult…

finding that happy medium?
Ive had a new job since October that is incredibly labor intensive. I do vigorous physical labor for 7 or 8 hours 4 days per week, and since starting the job I have been ravenously hungry, and eating a ton more. I HATE THIS. I feel like I have gained weight, and not rock-hard muscle, though I have not weighed. I am afraid…

When the weight creeps back!
For the past few months I haven't really been watching calories and I didn't realize how slowly it crept up on me without me feeling like I had even gained anything. My highest weight at 5'2" was 158, two or three years ago. Last summer I got down to 118, the happiest summer of my life. Since then up to only 2 or 3 months…

5'2" ladies!! BEFORE & AFTER
The first I'm on the left at my heaviest (158). The second I'm at 122 and the third I'm at 118. Sorry for the crazy faces. haha

high protien diets causing bloat
I've been feeling bloated and I looked it up and it turns out upping protien intake can do that. Anyone else had this issue?
-
high protien/low carb..calories?
I know no matter what you eat your caloric intake should be monitored but I've been eating very low carb, low fat, high protein (lean chicken & fish, eggs) and still eating around 1600. Is this too much? I'm very active (work out pretty hard for an hour every to every other day) and my usual caloric goal is 1500. I guess…
-
just discovered something awesome! (protien shakes)
If you want to double the volume of your pre-packaged protein shake, shake it up with ice in a jar or in a drink mixer. It doubles in volume not to mention becomes icey cold and frothy like a milkshake. TRY IT!

poor nutrition = hungrier than normal?
Anyone read the Gabriel Method? Well, not that I think anyone needs to be that extreme, but I feel like I'm greatly lacking in "live foods" aka fruits, veggies, nuts. I have been ravenously hungry lately, but my usual 1200 goal USED TO be just fine for me. Could it be that my body is getting the calories it needs and not…

Afraid to weigh!
Soo at my lowest in the summertime I was 118.... I've definitely slacked a bit, you know, not going to the gym as regularly and drinking far too much beer on the weekends. I feel like I'm probably hovering around 124-125 at this point, but I'm afraid to weigh myself for fear of overwhelming dissapointment. I've been eating…

fellow Vegans! holla!
Hello fellow Vegans! (Expect a friend request from me, just sayin!) SO I was vegan for four years about 3 years ago, now getting back into it. I need things to read and meals to experiment with! What are some of your favorite cookbooks/literature???? <3

appetite suppressants
Any foods or supplements that naturally suppress appetite? I'm so hungry all the time. I quit smoking and so I think this has to do with my appetite increase. I've been drinking alot of coffee, which helps, but I dunno what else to do. I also drink alot of water. Have been eating mostly carbs, protiens and fats (though…

morning exercise = increase in appetite?
I'm a night person and have always worked out late at night after dinner. This week I've started doing my hour of cardio in the mornings after a small (150 cal) breakfast, and I've been so ravenously hungry all day, even though I try to eat every 2-3 hours. This is very annoying. I feel insatiable! Its become hard to stay…

Do any of you have cheat days? If so, how often do you treat yourself to "cheat days"? (By cheat I don't mean binge but indulge... you know.. pizza, beer, burgers, chocolate)...

water!
Water consumption. How much difference does it make in terms of weight loss. I'm so bad about getting water in. I drink 2-5 glasses today and I guess I'm just worried that its hindered my progress. (I'm trying!) Personal experiences, anyone?
-
Juice Fast!
Has anyone done one? If so how did you like it? Just saw Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead and was inspired. I kind of don't think I could do it without blending protien powder with my juices to prevent my muscles from atrophying. I guess you could say that's cheating but I'm still going to try to keep my calories between…

what stores can I buy cheap free weights?
I am going to add the shred to my routine and I think I need 5 pounders to start off. I'm thinking I might go to target or wallmart or somewhere, I don't know which place has the cheapest weights, all I know is they can get expensive and poor me wants a good deal! Help!
