Not sure if carb inhibitors work the way they say they do. Had some caps from the Vitamin Shoppe. I never really planned to eat alot of carbs, so I would rarely take them before a meal. But sometimes during a meal I would realize that i had gone a little overboard with the carbs and then I...

Isn't T3 prescription?

Has anyone taken guggulsterones for a sluggish thyroid ? What is a good dosage, and what kind of results can I expect? I have taken ephedra products with great results, but thermo's only cover up (and in some cases, exacerbate) the thyroid prob. I've read. So I have to go the non-stim route...

Yes, yes, I have a question: there are "A" days when i eat clean, my energy is high, and my workouts could last all day if I wanted. I'll wake up next morning and see that I am leaner-looking than the day before, and I feel great. I live for "A" days! But then, even the very next day, my...

Very nice indeed! (If I may add, if you are in a time pinch and have to get thru a leg workout quickly, lunges are great all-around. Wide and deep lunges work your quads on the co-centric (downward phase of motion--did i get this right, guys?) and pushing off on the eccentric it works your...

Thankx gals! Yeah, I love the crystal lite slurpee at my 7-11. I used to fill my Super Big Gulp cup with the pineapple-orange flavor and it would only cost me $.79! But then I realized that, although sugar-free, it isn't calorie-free. All that maltodextrin adds up! I will have to try Diet...

Also so sorry if I am posting in the wrong place--maybe I should've posted under 'diet'...

Does anyone know if drinking diet soda will keep a person from losing body fat? I think I have read about aspartame making a person more insulin resistant or something like that.

Poor mr. Denelson! it seems everyone is overlooking your first statement--He wants to get "Down" to 172, not put on weight! :rolleyes:

Not that I am any kind of expert, rawkgurl, but I have a similar distribution of body fat when I am also working to lose. What helps me is high intensity weight training--moderately light weights, speedy reps and only small rests between sets. I perform a total body workout every other day...

Funny you should mention...soon after I wrote this, I did come across MS's post for a veggie bb. Thankx!

To MissChris...I too have experienced the same thing--PMS without the "m". I think I was worried that it was an excuse I would make in my head to justify excessive crankiness, unexplicable acne, chocolate cravings. But no, I think there is something to what you said; how our bodies go thru a...

I am a vegan who is looking to build a pre-contest type diet for the next few weeks. I've looked at many other model pre-contest diets to try to use them as a format for my own plan, but where the other folks use eggs and whey, all I can think to use is SOY. And although its a good source of...
