I read a few months ago in a magazine that 2 sessions a day actually showed better results that just one. But it has to be higher intensity than just jogging, which 15 minutes alone really isn't...

The main difference between aerobic and anaerobic is that your body continues to burn calories after you stop the workout. Sometimes for even like an hour later. This is why people do HIIT. You...

A couple of things to note. Your body constantly adjusts and compensates and not everyones body makeup and metabolism are the same. I was in the same boat as you. I know that my body is very carb...

This long distance runner vs sprinter thing always bothers me. Do you think long distance runners are spending hours in the gym lifting weights? I doubt it. HIIT is ok, but I don't like feeling...

You said flat stomach, and then still have love handles? I'd start adding some serious cardio if you want to get a "flat" stomach.

If you want to, just replace your normal carb that you'd have with a small serving of these. Don't make a habit out of it, however. There only reason why baked chips are any better is because...

Even though a beer is about 100 calories, your body uses about 40% of that to eliminate the alcohol from your body. So if you have like 5 beers that's 500 calories, but your body uses 200 calories...

Exactly. The reason why maintenance calculations don't work, is because it's not possible to figure out exactly how many calories you need in one day. There are so many factors that are involved...

The whole maintenance calories thing is a crock and is way too inaccurate. People have different bodies, different metabolisms, different jobs, etc. Plus it overestimates calories in my opinion.

Oh definately. I used to be around 5'9"-10" and at my highest weighed 235. I wasn't really that flabby, but my face was just huge and I was somewhat unattractive. I never really got attention from...

Sure you could. If you were to just cut out a few things from you diet, you could lose weight. But to maximize the weight loss, you should add in a couple of days of running. This is all based on...

I agree. That's why I did it. It's just not possible for me to diet all year long.

Either that or more likely it's because it was just a week. That's just not enough time to reverse months of working out and dieting.

So, since about May I've been really watching everything and pounding it out in the gym trying to get ready for summer. I was fairly pleased with my results, and just got back from vacation and the...

Actually this was in a magazine that I read. I can't remember if it was an older issue or not, but they said that splitting up your cardio into 2 15 minute sessions showed better results in the...

Correct. It's also from usually the excess of carbs that you eat. I believe carbs hold more water and glycogen.

Exactly. Excessive cardio when you're trying to put on some muscle really just limits possible gains. If you're trying to put on some muscle, you should make sure your diet is in check and then...

??? Don't listen to this at all.
Eggs are a far better protein source than a protein shake. The best source actually. And he's pounding 70g of gatorate (dextrose) after working out.
I'm not...

How and how? How does something with zero calories spike you insulin levels or add calories?

See, that's what generally happens to me and that's why I kind of shy away from HIIT. I'll start on the elliptical and get it to like a 15 resistence (out of 20) for 45 seconds and then back to 10. ...
