This is a common misconception. :rolleyes: Jogging will not burn less fat than walking. Walking will burn a higher percentage of fat, but jogging/running will burn more fat and calories. I'm not going to get into specific numbers because every individual will be different. However, speed and...

Any nutritionist will tell you that 10X bodyweight is the caloric maintenance for people with slow metabolism. Andy is not taking into consideration that different people have different metabolism. First off, the title "nutritionist" is a non-existant falsity. People trying to sell you...

Jack, I'm beginning to feel the same way. When first coming to this board, I believed all the hype about "the evilness of carbs," but through my own experimentation and others' lack of scientific evidence, it's rather obvious that carbs are not the enemy. Overeating any type of calories, no...

bump :D

I'm not trying to bring you down, but this is the exact reason I don't drop my carbs under a respectable amount. What's the point if you're just going to feel like crap and be bitchy to everyone? Total calories is really all that matters. In the past two weeks I've dropped from 10% to 9%...

Actually, you only need 2.0g/kg while on a restricted calorie diet, as per Nutrition textbooks. But, take that advice as you will. And what's all this banter about "you must have protein before bed or you'll lose muscle!"? Do any available studies support this claim?

1800 calories for a 200 pound bb? Good Lord, that's way too low. Of course, it all depends on your activity level, but we're assuming you're lifting hard 4-5 times/wk and possibly doing cardio. A 200 lb man would lose weight on 1800 calories/day just lying in bed all day. I'm 5'9, 180 lbs...

I have to agree with Leviathan. I've tried a HIT routine in the past. Yes, it made me sore, but I didn't make any better progress than with a more "sensible" routine. I'm not a high volume advocate, but I think you need more than one or two sets per exercise. This isn't a race to see who can get...

Excuse me? BigAndy, I'm not sure what you're talking about but pasteurization is a good thing... it kills bacteria. It also does not destroy its vitamins and minerals, and most definately does not cause you to lose calcium. How in the world did you come up with that? There are countless...

Yeah, High School girls are easily impressed. lol

Lemme help ya out, bro. Go over the the woman's board and read WarLobo's thread: when does 30 + 30 not = 60. It discusses cardio, all facets. Personally, yes, I use cardio before breakfast with ECAY. Does it help moreso than doing it any other time of the day? Honestly, I don't know. It's one...

"...and just when [your body] thinks you are going to revert back to low calories, you jack-up the carbs and lower protein." Can your body really anticipate this sort of thing? "This is not an insanely high protein diet, remember that to lose high amounts of fat you need to lower...

Good Lord. Do a search of the archives and get her off that crap, asap.

Such an isolated exercise is a waste of time, in my opinion. I'd rather do some narrow-grip bench presses. To each his own. :)

Yeah, skip breakfast! That should really get your metabolism humming. Hey, why not skip lunch too? Might as well since you're not eating breakfast. Oh, and lifting without having eaten is good for fatloss as well. As a matter of fact, just stop eating all together... you'll lose the fat. I...
