I'll be seeing this doctor (my primary care physician) again in about 4 weeks. I would go straight to an endocrinologist, but being on an HMO requires a referral. Big time hassle, but the billing is easy. Sonny

Hey man: Thanks for your input. :D I could do the same thing with Optimum Whey instead of the Met-Rx. That would drop the calories down a bit and also cut the carbs down, too. I figured Met-Rx would be a better choice though because whey absorbs pretty fast. My other problem is that I have...

12 oz of 1% milk 1/2 pack of Met-Rx MRP 2 TBSP of natural peanut butter Calories -> 510 Protein -> 46g (36% calories from protein) Carbs -> 36g (28% calories from carbs) Fat -> 20g (35% calories from fat) It'll also have 5g of creatine. It's pretty close to being a 33/33/33 meal. I'd like...

Amitriptyline aka Elavil is a trycyclic antidepressant. It is a very old medication and one of its side effects are that it is very sedating. I was on its chemical cousin imipramine for about a year and the side effects were pretty bad. It gave me an unbelievably dry mouth, increased my...

Thanks, Dial Tone. :) BTW, my nutrition during my diet looked something like this: Meal 1: Optimum Whey + half banana + 8oz 1% milk Meal 2: Chicken/Guacamole/Rice burrito with half the rice removed Meal 3: 4 oz of chicken breast + 25 baby carrots and some vinegarette (2 TBSP) dressing Meal 4...

Hi again, guys: Actually, I am 5'8"...5'10" is with thick socks and big boots. Here is a pic of me in college when I was in better shape. I weighed about 155 lbs in this pic. I would estimate that my bf was around 11-12% in this pic. (?) I know that doesn't sound much, but I have a small...

LeanCuisine: It's cool, man...I appreciate the feedback. I did what I could given the restraints that I had. I probably could have worked out a little more often, but the fact is that I'm a dad to a 4 month old baby and his sleeping patterns (and hence mine) are irregular at best. He seems...

It's all good, guys. I can take the heat. ;) :o Seriously though, I've been lean pretty much all of my life. This is the first time I've really gone on a "diet". LeanCuisine: I'd be very curious to get some feedback from you about this program. I feel that it met my needs very well...

Hello All, I'm 28 and I've been weightlifting on and off for about 9 years now. I got into really good shape in college and was around 155 lbs at 9% bf (I'm 5'8" and small-framed). That was about 4 years ago. I've kinda let things slide since college and that dreaded gut has started to swell...

I used Dorian's method for about 8 months during my early lifting days (18-19) and I thought they worked good for me. Sonny

Hello: Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the answer. Over the last few years, I've tried several brands of flaxseed oil and they all taste equally nasty. :( I got the idea from someone here (can't remember who...sorry) to try a Peanut Butter chaser with flaxseed...
