ive put a lot of fat around my stomach/hips wondering if its from my diet..? typical days as follows: coffee w goats milk prior to exercise m1; low fat cottage cheese, natural yoghurt, scoop protein powder, 1/2 apple m2; almonds or humous and mushrooms/vegies m3; tuna/chicken w salad, tpsn...

i have a very clean diet and i still think that my mid-section (hips) r my probelm area - not fat - but i dont have visible abs. I only got that when I weighed 48kg - waaaaaaay to underweight

i love it!!! my stomach is so strong from it. i do it 2x p/w and really notice a difference. it also helps w posture and breathing

Soy is interesting and has been debated.. I take thyroid medicine soo . I make sure i drink or eat the product 4 hours before and after.. i have read that it impacts the medication.. also .. I have ezcema .. and dairy seems to create flair ups .. do u think dairy may also cause flair up if...

unless ure a serious bike rider...the thighs and calves on bike riders are seriously strong

oh thanks! thats actually really good to know

i used to cut out dairy...but went for a bone density scan, which showed i was way below normal range..so ive been including back into my diet and find that its makes you feel full and satisfied. I eat low fat cottage cheese everyday - its the best. In terms of yogurt...go for sheep/goats milk...

i understand that bf% is a way better number...but how quick can u actually put on muscle?

just wondering..i know muscle weighs more than fat - but how long does it take to put it on - and when does it affect your weight on the scales? i dont weigh myself every day but a couple days ago i was 1 kg lighter...could it be muscle or just salt etc from diet?

how can u think of lifting wihtout food?? cardio is one thing, but you really need all the energy u can get before weights...have a shake if u dont have much time

or pick seafood - like garlic prawns or lemon fish....those are usually pretty safe. also ask for side of vegies or salad without dresssing

hi guys...just wanted to know what y'all r eating for b'fast? I like fruit, yogurt, eggs etc and tend to stay away from grains. Wondering if you guys could give me ideas for tomorrow.. thanks!

agreed...but after 2mths of pilates x2 p/w i should have a strong core - so when i go back to weights ide be able to lift better and perhaps more

ye i know all that about starvation mode..but i dont think this is atkins. I am addicted to fitday..so i know roughly my cals are around 1200, carbs 20%, with fat and protein being around 40%. is it possible to firm up with pilates and low carb?

i add a little splash of soy milk in my precardio coffee - a tiny bit is just a few cals and has fat/carbs/protein...so not such a bad choice when u need something light before a workout
