I had mixed responses from my transformation. First, the background:

I'm 5' 10" and two years ago weighed at a chubby 215 pounds, and I've had many more instances where people treated me poorly. ...

I respond well to high protein, medium carb, and medium fat intake. I'd say it's 40-30-30 pro carb fat. What I noticed is that there are certain times where I'm more receptive to eating. After...

Since you are an ectomorph you are more sensitive to weight training.

1. Lift every other day. Don't lift two days back to back.
2. Do 16-30 sets total, so it would be about an hour.
3. ...

Hey guys so I have been on a long journey through the world of fitness and nutrition. I've gone through perilous experimentation with workout techniques and dieting and for the longest time couldn't...

Great job with the fat loss! Looks like you lost most if it around your stomach, which is an excellent accomplishment. I know I had a really hard time getting rid of most of my belly fat. Now you...

I don't have multiple personality disorder. Lol and the funny things is that I'm actually certified as a trainer. In the past I kept drawing conclusions about stuff. I can explain the whole newbie...

Lol!

It's funny actually. Back in 2008 I was making a lot of newbie gains and I craved more carbs and was going nuts in the gym, and eating everything in sight. Now I'm finding myself craving less carbs...

Just an observation:

I found that when I eat more protein, I get more aggressive. My energy levels go up and I feel like a powerhouse of energy. It's like this adrenaline spike or something, I...

I didn't even know you can do that. How does the online PT thing work? I'm thinking of starting a part-time PT business, and I'm an independent trainer looking for clients, but I'm in the...

I am thinking about starting a side business in personal training. I don't have the money to buy my own equipment, and I know that health clubs don't want independent personal trainers coming in and...

I forgot to mention that lately I've been pretty sensitive to training, so the number of blocks is relatively low. Workout volume is such a relative concept that I definitely won't stick with this...

I actually thought this was in a medium range. This volume is less than some other programs, like P90X.

Whats up guys I want to share an idea I have about overtraining and how it produces cortisol. As some of you may know, cortisol can reduce the appetite, break down muscle, and promote fat storage in...

From experience, intermittent fasting worked pretty well for me. Also doing a little cardio here and there helped too. I also tried the whole 6 meal a day plan, with cutting the carbs and upping...

I'm doing the P90x for getting lean. If I cut my calories too much I crave a lot of saturated fat soon after. I think a lot of my fat cravings come from when I used to lift really heavy, but now...

My body's set point to maintain its BF% is around 14%, because I feel comfortable around there. And every time I try to cut and get leaner, I feel less comfortable. I get intense fat cravings, mood...

I know there are the three main body types and various combinations, and so I found myself somewhere between being an ectomorph and an endomorph. I gain fat easily if I eat too many carbs, and yet...

Your metabolism is slowed down anyways from not working out, so just stick with eating very clean with an equal balance of protein, complex carbs, and healthy fat.

Make sure your fiber intake is between 25-35 grams. You gotta make sure that whatever comes in, comes out. Eat a little more healthy fats too.
