About eating back your calories when you're not hungry(guide
Okay, to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you put in your mouth. So if you put food in your mouth, you are consuming more calories. That is ABSOLUTELY fine if YOU'RE HUNGRY. You're not supposed to stress your body too much. If you're NOT hungry, you shouldn't do it. Because by putting things in your mouth…

If you feel deprived, read this(benefits of a cheat day)
I have seen a lot of comments on my wall, and some on the forum about this, so I am going to write about it, maybe it will help some people out.

Nutrition guide and tips for beginners.
Nutrition is critical in weight loss. I honestly believe it's about good stuff in, good stuff out. Most people recommend to shop on the outside of the super market, meaning don't go down the isles. If you do go down the isles try to avoid saturated fats, high levels of sodium, any ingredient that ends in "rose such as…

creating recipes, might be consuming more calories than you
Keep in mind if you're modifying a recipe, raw food and cooked food has a different caloric content. My theory on this is that calories are heat energy. The more you cook it, the less heat energy it has. I think a good analogy for this is "how much can you burn of a burnt log?" If it's already burnt, it won't burn, all the…

a little idea for zigzagging
I was thinking of something while I was exercising. You know how we zigzag our calories. That's just a caloric deficit. That's obvious. What would be a good idea, keep your caloric intake constant, and zigzag your exercises. This will keep your metabolism a lot higher up. Your metabolism will increase due to the higher…

the myth, starvation mode, and dont eat before bed.
This is something that bothers me big time, when people make decisions without really thinking about them. Just because "someone says so" including myself. I am not here trying to tell anyone what to do, I am just providing information from what makes sense to me. If you look at a theory from different angles, all theories…

Interesting things about AMR, and caloric relation.
AMR, TDEE, they're both synonymssynonyms for how many calories you burn a day. I'll use the AMR instead of TDEE. AMR = Active Metabolic Rate TDEE = Total Daily Energy Expenditure. My philosophy is pretty much simple for weight loss. Eat below your AMR, and you will lose weight and of course exercise to prevent your…

To the people who have read my posts in the past.
My intentions is to not misinform people. I want everyone to be successful at their fitness goal. I know the frustrations that can come with weight loss as all of us know. I want to limit those frustrations, I think a big part of it, is due to misinformation of how the body and how macro nutrients really work. I want all…

800 calories a day(BMR unchanged), eating 6x a day
I keep on saying, there is a lot of BS in the fitness community. The deal with eating 6 times a day or more. The starvation mode theory and many others which i explained how it really works. It's based on your macro nutrient ratios, not so much on the calories consumed. You can do a search for it on the forums I believe…

You may be burning less calories than you think (calculator
WHen you enter your exercise, it uses a baseline weight to determine your caloric expeneture. We all weigh different, some weigh more, some weigh less. I ran a test, I put walking at 2.0 for 15mins, the result was 75 calories. I then changed my weight 180lbs less... It still said 75 calories for the same exercise.…

To eat your exercise calories or not? + starvation mode theo
In another thread I talked about starvation mode theory. Some people said "it exist, because when i don't eat i don't lose weight" some say "starvation mode doesn't exist because I continue to lose weight fine." So who's right who's wrong? They're both right and both wrong. So what gives. Macro nutrients such as…

I know 2 women, in real life. They both have sons, who are addicts. I have told them, "it's your fault for letting them do it." They both have the same excuse, "they are going to do it anyways, if i do something or not." I think this is a petty excuse. But it's understandable. Is this excuse justifiable? I haven't been in…
