Weight Loss	Burger King and Exercise...?	Mar 23 2010 21:52 (UTC)	1
Eating like that just doesn't agree with me anymore. Like I will have all kinds of negative symtoms. Like I can literally get so bloated from one really bad meal that I will look pregnant. I mean literally, and that's a pretty painful symptom, and that's just one of them. With that said I don't know how long you have been following a structured eating plan, or trying to, but maybe you body just said why are you trying to feed me almost my entire days worth of calories in one meal?
Weight Loss	if i'm lactose intolerant and i eat dairy do i absorb the calories?	Mar 23 2010 21:34 (UTC)	1
Yes you do.
Weight Loss	Haven't lost any weight in a month	Mar 23 2010 21:31 (UTC)	33
There's a few of things you can do. You can stop eating carbs after 5pm, and have your last meal no later than 7pm. Your last 3 meals can be carbless switching those calories for protien calories. You can also zig zag calories. Do 2 or 3 low days in a row, and then bump them back up to your regular daily caloric intake for the rest of the week. Reduce your calories by about 300 those days, and then just bring them back up to normal the other days. These things really work btw.
Weight Loss	high fiber...no pooh	Jan 09 2009 18:42 (UTC)	8
You should get to a point where you are having one or more everyday. It can be several things. I would definitely start taking probiotics. You can buy them at whole foods or any health food store. I prefer in capsule form by a brand called 'JARRO'. These don't require any refrigeration and are excellent. They have a special coating on them so the bacteria survives the stomach acid and gets the colon where you need it. You need the good friendly bacteria for digestion. A lack of it and constipation becomes regular. Another reason some people have problems is a lack of good stomach acid for digestion. Before each meal, take 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with 1/4 cup of water. Be sure to rinse your mouth with a mouthfull of water afterward as the cider can be hard on tooth enamel. Another trick is drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. It can increase stomach acid production by almost 400% Which for some people isn't as much as it sound as they don't have a lot to begin with.
Fitness	Whey Protein side effects?	Nov 13 2008 00:51 (UTC)	4
Honestly I'm lactose intolerant and that has never happened to me or anyone else I know. Even if you have stomach allergies, I bet anything it wasn't the powder. Try it in just water. Yes, I'm the only one suggesting to try it again. Try a smaller dose. You can practically live off the stuff for a while so if a smaller dose IN WATER doesn't affect you, try a full scoop then beyond. Honestly it could have been a gastro intestinal virus issue or something else like food poisoning, or whatever. Whey protien is a good way to supplement your protien intake.
Fitness	Ab flab won't go away!!!!	Nov 13 2008 00:35 (UTC)	2
It depends on your bodyfat percentage unless you've had kids then that's a different story. But assuming you haven't, several things to look at. If your body fat is too high, you will still have a flabby midsection. If you are doing excesive cardio and your protien intake is too low, you will have a washed out flabby midsection. Eat 1.3 - 1.5gms of protien per lb of body weight and if you are doing high intensity cardio, do low intensity for an hour 4-5 days a week along with resistance training. Also contrary to what some people say, Dont do ab workouts more than twice a week. Keep your carbs moderate to low and you will see a difference. Also, try brushing your stomach. Take a brush that doesn't have rought bristles, and brush your stomach everyday before taking a shower or whenever. Brush from your lower abs towars your heart. It draws blood there, and tightens the skin. Female bodybuilders with this problem use this trick.
Fitness	Difference Between Soy Protein and Whey Protein	Nov 13 2008 00:27 (UTC)	2
The main difference is their amino acid profiles. the biological value of whey is much higher than soy. Soy is crap. Very little of it has any real use towards building or maintaining muscle which is metobolically active. It is good in chinese food though..
Weight Loss	Do you limit carbs at dinner?	Oct 28 2008 21:41 (UTC)	4
I think it's a great idea to limit carbs at dinner time. I just have a zero carb protien shake for dinner now, but I eat six times a day. I'm totallly not starving. I throw that rule out in the weekends though. I just stick to it Monday thru Friday.
Weight Loss	question about days off!!!	Jun 26 2008 20:10 (UTC)	5
Depending on your body type and genetics, 4-7 days a week of cardio is doable. Again there are other factors to consider. Sounds like your diet is clean. I would eat up on your off day on one meal but not go crazy, but definitely be relaxed about it. Yeah you'll weight up to 4lbs heavier the next day, but it's mostly sodium weight. If you do cardio in the morning on an empty stomach it can increase the fat burning by 200%. Then you could afford to eat an extra 100 - 200 calories more a day as long as the scale keeps moving. Your body is just adjusting and of course you won't be on a 1200cal diet forever.
Weight Loss	question about days off!!!	Jun 26 2008 19:53 (UTC)	8
There are diff variables to consider. Six days is fine, but are you getting enough sleep? Also it's quite common when your body is adjusting to a new routine, AND it's common when on calorie restriction. On that day off are you uping your calories? And what are you eating that sums the 1200cal a day? All those things will have an affect on your energy levels. It's 1200 cal of what?
Weight Loss	Stuck Looking "Pretty Good" - Any suggestions?	Jun 26 2008 19:23 (UTC)	2
You say 'looking pretty good' so does that mean you are wanting to look better? If so I'd push thru it.
Weight Loss	Low carb Diet ...	Jun 24 2008 16:16 (UTC)	1
Low carb is the way to go. 40/40/20 carbs, protien, fat and you're on your way. It really works, I lost about 37lbs this way, but I also did calorie restriction and cardio 4-6 days a week and weights 4 days a week.
Weight Loss	help!!!! i have hit a wall!!	May 07 2008 22:05 (UTC)	4
Walk longer, and eat less carbs. Not less calories, just less carbs.
Weight Loss	Breakfast is useless - stop eating it.	May 07 2008 22:01 (UTC)	82
Ok, whoever said that eating doesn't do anything for your metabolism really doesn't know what they are talking about. Second, breakfast is just that. Breaking a fast. You are in a fasted state when you wake up and need to break the fast. Just because you may not be used to eating in the morning, or you are not hungry is no excuse to keep the body in a catabolic state. And food is metabolic for the body. Anytime the body has to work to digest, it raises your metabolism and walking around the block doesn't keep it up. It only contributes to burning calories at the time that you are walking. There are studies that show that people that eat breakfast live longer.
Weight Loss	New Pics Up, question to ask!	May 01 2008 22:05 (UTC)	10
You look really pretty, and you look good at that weight. 5-7lbs is still doable.

Weight Loss	i only lose weight on a low carb diet	Jan 04 2008 16:30 (UTC)	5
The truth is that low carb diets work. I don't care what anybody says, and it's not unhealthy. It is if all you eat is sausage and cheese all day long, but it does work. I would start with a 40/40/20 diet and then take it from there. That's 40% protien, 40% carbs, and 20% fats. If you don't get results from that, then go to 50% protien and 30% carbs. In that percentage base don't include leafy greans like spinach and stuff. Once you achieve goal weight you can change the ratios and increase your carb intake to a maintenance level by increments of 5%. Since you didn't post anything else about exercise, your diet might be sutible if you haven't been exercising, but need to start. You need to create a healthy daily deficit of 500 - 1000 cal. If you haven't been exercising that alone will change everything. Not to mention your daily maintenance caloric intake will change and increase over time. If you find yourself dropping over 2 lbs a week after the inicial week or 2 your calories are too low. Also, break up your meals over 5 meals instead of 2 or 3 if you haven't been already. That is a sure fire way to lose weight, as the smaller meals eaten every 3 hours keep your bodys metabolism working
Weight Loss	Dieting + Exercise = Weight Gain!??	Jan 04 2008 16:07 (UTC)	8
before my weigh in days I cut out all high sodium foods, and keep it to a minimum 3 days before my weigh in and drink a gallon of water a day. That way come weigh in day, I get an accurate assesment of my weight.
Weight Loss	Weight loss question?	Jan 04 2008 16:04 (UTC)	1
You need to know your maintenance caloric intake first then you can create a deficit of 500 - 1000 calories a day
Weight Loss	should i abandon my current diet?	Jan 04 2008 15:57 (UTC)	2
I personally am not a big believer in 'shakes' for a diet or a lifestyle change. I've known people to do it and just eat one meal of solid food at night and have maintained their weight. It is proven that solid foods are what get the metabolism going because of the digestion involved, and of course manipulating macronutrient ratios. There could be several reasons for the 'larger' legs. Because you are cutting out a lot of solid foods, your metabolism is shifting so it could be getting more sluggish causing you to gain weight, or because of the same reasons causing you to retain water, etc. I would got back to all solid foods introducing it slowly over the course of a week and see how your body reacts. Try to stay away from high sodium filled or sugary foods, so you can measure your results accurately.
