That last few pounds...
I have about 10lbs I'd like to lose. I have been stuck at 145-150lbs for MONTHS. I do Body Beast and T25. I eat mostly clean and almost always gluten free. I eat around 2200 per day right now for my bulking phase and will drop to 1700 next week to cut (this is my second round of BB). I don't necessarily need to see the…

Ladies (or gents) who lift..what supps do you take?
Hey everyone I am halfway through my second round of body beast and am thinking of adding in supplements. I have gotten pretty good results with just taking whey powder, but can't help but wonder what my results would be like if I added in casein, creatine, and BCAA's. Any ladies taking supplements want to offer advice?…

Saturated fat
I have recently switched to whole milk due to a recommendation from a co-worker that it's "better than non fat, 1%, 2%). Upon comparing labels the carb/sugar content is the same which she warned me was different. What is different (obviously) is the fat which I am not worried about higher fat. However, my saturated fat is…
