Does anyone know any good protein bar recipes that dont require milk? I am lactose/soy/dairy intolerant....cant even handle lactose-free milk...Thanks!
Hey ladies, does anyone else suffer from lactose intolerance or milk allergies...or a combination of the two? I have recently developed this allergy in the last year (crazy) and am having A LOT of...
Actually, if you eat whole wheat/grain bread it is not that high on the Glycemic Index...it is in the middle range on the scale (about the same as oatmeal) because it is a complex carb....but if she...
I know that your question was how to get in more cals per day, but even 1500 cals/day with the amount of exercising you are doing seems way too low..that is probably why you have hit a plateau. When...
I too have to increase some to lose when I reach certain plateaus. Just remeber that 2500 cals a day is what the calculator is saying you need to consume to maintain..not to lose..and those...
Maybe the reason you went overboard was because you are eating so little calories. That is usually why I end up binging. I agree that you may be eating a bit low normally...
I just had a break from the gym as well (for 4 days) and I lost a lb too. I think it just may be your body reacting to the rest that you needed to recover. I typically weigh myself weekly after my...
This is what I am trying right now. I am on my week off right now and start back to the gym tomorrow...Hopefully it will work for me. :) Good luck to you!
Dont dip below 1500 cals/day IMO. First of all, your body needs fuel especially with all the excercise you are doing, and 2nd, if you dip too low in cals right now, you wont have anywhere to go if...
Some people do not need to train abs very often. If you are doing your other lifting correctly, you will be working your core everyday anyway. I personally only do abs once a week because I seem to...
I only isolate my abs once a week and I have seen more results than when I was working them 4-5xs/week. Working the ab muscles wont burn the fat away, as you know, so if you overwork them, you could...
Thanks for the replies.
It doesn't scare me too much with my one day of rest when I know that I have really pushed myself the rest of the week. It just bothers me when my schedule gets screwed up...
Why does your stats say you are 5'2" but you posted that you are 5'5"? Just curious...
About your diet, I would say you may be taking in a bit too much dairy. 2 servings of yogurt+2 servings of...
I have heard several ladies on the forums say that they take a few days to a week off the gym every couple months...How common is this? I am currently on a plateau and it scares me a little when I...
First of all, you are doing too much cardio for trying to build muscle. You can build muscle and lean out just from lifting. I suggest cutting down to cardio 3-4 xs a week max and focusing more on...
I agree with these girls. You are not eating enough, this diet may have worked ok when you were not working out, but now that you are starting an exercise program, are burning more calories and your...
I feel like I could eat non-stop all the time. :)
You may want to try to try out some high protein soups (like with beans and veggies). Soup is always great when you are sick and you wont be able to...
