Experience w/ Leangains ?
I figure this is a good place to ask this, seeing as the Leangains approach is really as much about training and results as it as a dietary approach to achieve those results. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has any personal experience or feedback of trying the Leangains approach, as its something I've been curious about…

Non-refrigerated protein bar recipe ?
Hi all, Looking for a good protein bar recipe for bars I can bung in a bag and tote with me for when I want them ?

What do you weigh 5'9/ 5'10 guys ?
Hi, just wondering what other guys in that 5'9/ 5'10 (175/ 178cm) range weigh ? I'm about 5' 9.5" myself, and wonder what others around that have found to be their optimum weight.

Water weight after returning to moderate carb level ?
Not sure if this is the right forum of perhaps the weight maintenance forum. In any event, I'm wondering what are the experiences of those who have lost weight using a low carb programme, with regard to regaining water weight when they increased their carbs again ? For example, currently I'm eating about 50g net carbs, but…

Thoughts on calorie-cycling ?
Hi All, I have been pondering calorie cycling for a little, and wonder what your thoughts on it are, or personal experiences if you've tried it ? Basically the form I've been giving thought to is that of maintaining the same weekly calorie deficit, but instead of having a constant deficit every day, instead maybe having 3…

Forefoot running ?
Any forefoot runners here ? And moreover are there any good sources for forefoot running out there ? :) I'm a non-runner that would like to take up forefoot running, albeit it in a gentle manner, as I know the body needs time to adapt and build up the requisite muscles and tendons. Also I don't want to injure myself…

Just wondering for those of you who are consistent in your intake and exercises, what your personal experiences have been with weight loss plateaus.

Your favourite low carb snack recipes ?
Any low-carb snack recipes you're especially fond of ? My homemade granola bars, dark chocolate and almonds have always been staple snacks of mine, but with the switch to low carb at present, the granola bars have been an unfortunate casualty for now, with their 20 grams of net carbs or so, per bar. (I may yet try to…

Major bonus points if the bar will hold together…

Low carb; slowing the weight loss rate a little ?
Hi, I'm looking for a little advice, preferrably from anyone that has been in the same low carb boat. I know some have very strong things to say on dietary programmes that don't fit their mind, so please no lectures, or any evangelical posting about how you do not need to do low carb but rather simply eat x, y or z, or any…
