Sluggish Thyroid and CLA'S?
I had my thyriod tested back in December and my TSH was at 3.0. It was tested again two weeks ago and is at 5.1. My doctor suggested we go about 6 weeks and then retest before putting me on Synthroid. I have been doing some research, and asked her about CLA's. She said it couldn't hurt to try. Has anyone taken CLA'S for a…

Chris Powell's Choose More, Lose More for Life

Just wondering....
if since starting JUDDD, anyone else has just fallen into a pattern of eating only when they are hungry? I was staying between 500-800 calories on my low days, and 1500-1800 or so on my high days. I have been following for about a month and have lost 8 pounds. Over the last two weeks or so, I find that sometimes I eat low…

Knee pain when running....
I started training with TNT for a half marathon 3 weeks ago. First week was 3 miles and sore the same day afterwards....couldn't walk down stairs....was sore for about 3 days. Week 2 was four miles...got to mile three and locked up. Iced...stretched and took Excedrin...couldn't do stairs....but was good the next day. This…

Intermittent Fasting...
I have spent the last hour researching this, but I am still confused. If you eat for 8 hours and fast for 16.... do you still have a day each week where you eat nothing for 24 hours? Also, one of the notes on the IF group page said that women who plan to get pregnant should not eat this way. If this is a better way of…

How come pasta has soooo many calories?
I made some pasta the other day...I forget the brand, but 2 oz, was about 210 calories....so if I wanted to make a cup of pasta (measured dry) I would be at 840 calories! Is that right? Why is it so high? And do you measure wet or dry? Obviously I may not have been able to eat a whole cup of say elbows...but if you make…

Is there a specific time....
I should stop eating? I know with IF, I didn't eat after 7:00 pm. Should I continue the same time frame for JUDDD? Or does the time not matter as much due to the calorie restrictions every other day?

Measuring Body Fat?
Hi there, What is the best way (most reliable) way to measure body fat at home? I don't have calipers or any fancy scales. I went to a training session at the gym months ago, and he gave me a hand held thing to squeeze, but I don't know how accurate that is. I honestly can't even remember the percentage he told me I was…

I understand it is alternating days...question is, do you start with an "up" or a "down" day? How many of each are you supposed to have for the week?

How many carbs a day when carb cycling?
I have started carb cycling again, and last time I did, I wasn't logging daily, and I cannot for the life of me remember what I did. Just that I had success. I now log daily, and I am keeping my protein around 100g, and fat about 60g. What level should I keep my carbs at on high days vs low? Does anyone know off hand?…

I can't figure out the magic number...
So here is my journey so far. I started logging...really logging in November. I had figured out my TDEE was 2045, and with the deficit I should have been at around1600. I had eaten 1200 calories forever. I started slowly upping my calories...to 1400...then to 1600...then to 1800 and eventually by February I was at 2000. I…

Anyone else need to get back on track?
I have been doing my best logging and exercising, but I have not really stuck to plan. I was just looking at my food diary, and although I was at a decent calorie count, I have not been getting enough protein. I really need to refocus and get back on track. Anyone else want to join me? Maybe we could do daily/weekly check…

Half Marathon in 3 months...
I was running last year with my neighbor...we were running about 11 minute miles...did about 3 miles a day. The leukemia society is having a half marathon at the end of September, and they start training in June. Is this even doable? I really want to take on the challenge...but I also don't want to set myself up to fail.…

Does EAS make a carb control...
Powder for their shakes? I buy them in a 4 pack, but it is getting expensive. I am thinking if they have a big container of powder, I could make my own and save some $$. If they don't, can someone suggest a good one that has a similar taste and texture? Thanks!

Yogurt?
This may sound like a stupid question, but I always eat yogurt on my "low carb day" because I consider it "protein"...but I have noticed that there are quite a lot of carbs in it as well. I eat FACE greek yogurt. Am I sabotaging myself? Should I save the yogurt for the "high carb days"? Or does that fact that there are…

Curious about carbs..
I try to stay around 60g for a low carb day, and 130g on a high carb day. Just got me wondering. What are you carb goals?

Looking for answers....
I did the Chris Powell carb cycling last year...was on it for about two months and lost 8 pounds. Then life got crazy...and I slacked. Back on it now. This is day 2 of week three, and I have only lost a pound. What I find odd is that when I did it last time, I didn't track anything. Just ate protein and carbs at every meal…

Metabolism Reset....
I need to do a metabolism reset, and have to start eating my TDEE for about 8 weeks. I have been carb cycling for about 3 weeks, and was wondering if anyone else upped their calories while carb cycling. If so, did you do it gradually over the course of weeks? Or did you up all at once? When you upped calories, did you up…

Isopure
I usually get a protein shake from my gym after working out, but last week I saw that they sell Isopure Drinks in bottles. There are no carbs and 40g of protein. I am hitting the gym after work tonight. Question is, do I drink this before or after the workout? Is it the same idea as the whey protein shakes I was drinking…

Sprinting...
I have tried running over the years, and plan to start the C25K in March. I really want to be a runner, but I have noticed that I am more of a sprinter than a long distance runner. I run really hard, really fast for short bursts. It feels really good, and I enjoy it, but I am not sure how I would track it, or how many…
