Re: Is this menu okay or do I need more?
I don't think you are eating enough protein at lunch. Beans alone will not give you enough protein, and you need the calories and good fats it contains. I aim for 30 grams at every meal. Also, ...

Re: Effort Vs. Results

Re: Feeling grateful
I could not agree with you more. Without this site there is no way on earth I would have stuck with this diet as long as I have. Best of luck to you in reaching and exceeding your goals.
Re: Lunch day 1
Much of this diet hinges on experimenting and what works best for you. So I would do your best for a week or two and then start tweaking then. I can only speak from my own experience, but here i...
I think 1500 calories is too low. I don't know how old you are, but at your height and weight, if you are 30 years old your resting metabolic rate...
Re: 4 weeks and no weight loss
Gibble - first off kudos for sticking with it. It's somewhat easy to do this diet if you see big changes, and I give you a lot of credit for sticking it out with your results thus far. I have to ...

Re: Give me a warm welcome! come on!
Welcome Luca! Viva Italia! (how's that for a warm welcome?)

Re: New member. Quick suggestions for breakfast!
You should try to down some greens (spinach with some cayenne pepper is my regular -- pop it on a plate and microwave for 3 minutes). I also love to cook up some turkey bacon in the morning. I us...
Re: Very Bummed
I am not going to give you one of those sappy motivational speeches about keeping a stiff upper lip and all that. I hear you're frustrated and it can't be easy seeing others have success and feel...
Re: Any idea on my current bodyfat % please?
I would agree around 18%. I am a bit over 18% right now (5'10" height) and you look smaller than me so perhaps you are even under 18%. Tough to eyeball from the pic though as I, for example...
