Re: Intermittent Fasting
I would experiment and see how you feel/ how much weight you lose. Try doing IF for a week with a cheat day, weigh yourself. Do IF for a week without a cheat day and then weigh yourself. See which...
Re: How long would you do the fasting?
I started IF Jan 1st. Two days on two days off. My diet consists of mostly vegetables and red meat (sometimes chicken too). I don't really have cheat days, except that if I feel I need an energy b...
Thanks, this is helpful. I never really thought of money as improving quality of life, but I guess that is the point isn't it? I have noticed a st...

Pushups, myotatic crunch, and any type of cardio would cover the basics.
Re: heat vs ice
I can't speak for the science of it, but here's my experience: Both times I've gone to Iraq, people who spent the majority of their day outside lost about 30lbs (those who were already pretty hea...
Re: Making abs visible w/o flexing
I don't know what's healthy vs. not healthy when it comes to bodyfat (on the low end, anyway), but I would also suggest bulking up. When you bulk up, incorporate into your routine weighted abdomin...

Re: Is there a consensus on using a protein shake for the first meal of the day?
I used whey protein as a first meal for a week, that was the only thing I changed in my diet, and I didn't lose any weight that week. Went back to hard-boiled eggs the next week and lost 5lbs. I c...

Re: Bathroom Problems!
I had the same problem. Nothing was working. I went two weeks without a bowel movement. This is what I did. #1 Flush your system with a laxative: Mag Citrate didn't work for me, so I had to use e...
Re: Six pack'd day 5: I feel good!:
AMAZING results for just 5 days. Great work, man.
No kidding. I didn't even notice. I'll try to avoid that next time and see how it goes. Thanks!
So much for my bean and spinach pot-roast.
Good tip. Definitely worth a shot.
Re: Cheat Day Hangover?
Very much so. I get sick every cheat day and feel like garbage for the next 24hrs. If it wasn't mandatory, I'd quit doing them.
Has anyone else gotten sick on cheat day? (possible TMI)
I don't know if the food I'm eating on my cheat days is just that much richer than I eat during the week or what? I've had two cheat days so far. The first one gave me diarrhea and the second one ...
Re: water temp
I would suggest slowly turning the knob as cold as it will go and then letting it run over your head, lower back, back of neck and underarms for a total of 5-10 min. After about a week of that, it...

Re: Am I eating too much?
I'd go with ready to drink protein shakes. Walmart has 4 packs of Myoplex shakes (42g protein) for about $10.
