Huge Lunch and skipping dinner?
So I was just wondering if this would hinder any weight loss or if it's better to eat 5-6 small meals a day instead like I've usually read. My goal is to eat about 1400 calories a day but find that I lack a lot of energy and I'm the most hungry in the afternoon so I make myself a HUGE lunch (a healthy one though). Usually,…

Has anyone taken up running recently?
So since EVERYONE and their mother has been telling me to do weights when i started my clean eating lifestyle and weight loss program I focused on mainly weights for the first 3 months. Now I'm on my fourth month and while weights did do me a solid I've found a slight lack of motivation to do heavy lifting at the gym BUT a…

How quickly do you lose strength gains?
So I've been strength training pretty consistently for about 3 1/2 months now. Lost a good amount of weight, gained some newbie gains, etc, etc. The only problem is that at one point, when I wouldn't always strength train according to schedule (such as missing a day of training or doing it for less than my 40 mins) I…

Do you guys have problems with slow weight loss?
Slow and steady wins the race!! I've always been one to yo yo diet, usually trying fad or extreme diets but I FINALLY gave in and just decided to change my lifestyle. I eat a clean diet, only processed food VERY RARELY, but I still give myself some room to eat out because let's face it....everything I've tried eating out…

Confused? I was losing inches now I look bigger?
So I've been on a healthy lifestyle for about 3 months now. At first I wasn't losing weight, but when I went to go help my family move out in California, I found that I lost a few inches! I was pretty excited as my legs looked thinner and so did my waist. And that's considering that since we were going in and out of…

No change in scale/inches or anything!!!
So I've been on a clean eating lifestyle change for almost 2 months now. I RARELY eat processed foods, the only food I eat that has more than 5 ingredients is the 100% whole wheat bread I eat in the mornings. I eat about 1200-1300 calories a day.

Will eating out once/wine tasting push me back a lot?
So today I went wine tasting at a vineyard and I went to a Thai restaurant to eat. Unfortunately, I ordered the stir-fry egg-plant and chicken which ended up having this sauce all over it that did not look like it would be too healthy. I still ate it, which ended up KILLING me afterwards, since my body has gotten used to…

Do I HAVE to do cardio to lose weight?
I'm reading everywhere that either I do or I don't so It's kind of confusing. I just want to know if it's possible for me to depend solely on strength training and calorie deficit, because in all honestly, cardio makes me lose motivation to lose weight! It's just so tedious and takes so long that I lose motivation and I…

Not seeing much of a difference in body/weight!
Hey there everyone! So over a month ago, I decided to do a clean eating lifestyle....no fad diets, just healthy, good old clean eating. Before that, I was doing the Atkins diet and I went from 153 to 148. Of course, when I went from counting carbs to calories, I went back up to 153, which I had already expected would…

New to Strenth/weight training
Hey guys! So I've been doing some strength training for the past two and half weeks but I kind of just went with it and I'm not too sure if I'm doing it right, even with some research and googling that I've done. I also took out cardio from my routine just because it kind of bores me. I basically just do a full-body…

Using whey protein with Sucralose?
So I bought this HUGE tub of whey protein (BodyTech) about a month ago and I have been using it almost every single day when I wake up in the morning as a pre-workout meal or just an early breakfast if I don't workout that day. However, I JUST realized the stuff has sucralose in it and I know I've heard and seen a lot of…
