There is a sticky in this forum dedicated to calves. Check in there for some useful information. Or, go to the bodyrecomposition(.)com article. Both have great information.

Already answered you, man. You could also use the BEI test. It's a small electronic device that looks like a tiger brand hand-held toy. The problem with this method, though, is that it can be...

None of it really explains zero weight loss, but probably none of us are doctors. We can only give advice through personal experience and research, unfortunately. At the end of the day, it's worth...

Yeah, I agree. Everyone says there is no such thing as "starvation mode," however, there are some wicked plateaus. Try it. At this point, it couldn't hurt.

Swimming is cardio, too! There isn't anything wrong with that. It's better for your joints, anyway.

I started trying to lose weight really hard at the end of 2009 to the summer of 2010. I...

^^^ I agree. It's relative. For someone who is very lean already, 6 lbs would be a noticeable difference, as opposed to the 300 lb example.

If you can't see changes but want to see them, I...

I know what you mean. I bet I can control the fat gains a lot better this year. My problem last year (almost certain) was dorm food. Being in college, you are forced to eat what the cafeteria...

I read through the body recomposition article and believe what I had read. Really, you could look at lean guys who are natural and lean guys who were once heavier and see that it appears to be true....

Hey forum,

I'm changing my diet back to bulking soon, but I'm curious about this.

Last year, I lost a bunch of weight (both muscle and fat, it sucked) and got down to 190 lbs. Over last year's...

I'll go with this ^^^ Be careful bulking, if that's what you're choosing to do. You have to be prepared to see some fat gains.



Man, this is the second thread that I've seen you flame someone...

But, in any case, there's nothing wrong with NOT eating sugar. =D

Thank you for having a not hate-filled debate as opposed to us getting mad at each other. I have done a LOT of research, myself being close to 300 lbs and 30+% body fat at one point. I know that...

I have read the links before. You can't tell me that if I were to eat sugars instead of complex carbs in my diet that I am going to keep losing weight. The other topic I disagree with is the...

Which part? All of that is pretty close to high school biology.

Edit: People get confused because old guys who haven't studied advanced nutrition a day in their lives believe that all results...

Unnecessary ^^^ This website is for support. If the op is feeling down and unsure of what to do, he has every right to post here and shouldn't feel afraid to because people don't "feel sorry" for...

...Just eat more. If you are eating 1200 calories and need to be eating 1600 calories, just eat another meal or add a few more calories to every other meal. 400 calories really isn't that much at...

This ^^^

The thing with carbs is there are complex chains of carbs and simple chains of carbs. Complex chains are things like oatmeal, whole grain foods, etc. The simple chains of carbs are...

I was once told that if you think you have loose skin, pinch it. If your belly skin isn't as thin as the skin on the back of your hand, then it's just fat. No worries, just keep doing what you're...

Yeah, all that ^^^^^
I was writing my post as he posted his, so I did not read it.

He isn't necessarily doing it wrong, he just has different genetics which require a different approach.

Here's the skinny of it, muscle helps you burn fat. The age old question is, "should I bulk...
