Ok you're sort of getting into the "Chicken and the Egg" argument here...are people fat because they drink diet drinks, or are they fat and are cutting calories by drinking diet drinks.

Besides...

I've had that happen a few times before. It went away on its own, so I wouldn't worry too much about it (unless it doesn't go away).

Now it's funny when your shoulder/arm does it during an...

It has become a favorite snack of mine. Per serving (1 oz), it has 80 calories, 15g protein, .5g fat, 700mg sodium.

Pros:
*Very high in protein
*Low fat

Cons:
*Very high in sodium...

No, there is nothing "magical" about protein that will cause you to lose fat. If you maintain a caloric deficit, lift weights, and take in 1g protein per lb. lbm, you will lose fat and minimize...

...and a lot of protein! My mix was ~200 calories, 33g protein.

Anyone else try this?

Enjoy it! I know you feel bad (I did too when I first cheated on my cut), but it's awesome, and it makes me try even harder when I resume my cut.

I actually lost weight in college, even freshman year :)

For me, I had to walk around everywhere, and this forced me to burn calories. I lost a lot more weight/gained muscle after my...

You sound very similar to where I was about 2-3 months ago. I'm also 5'6", and I started off around 160-165 when I began cutting. I'm now ~140, and I'd like to lose another 5-10 (I've calculated...

I would say it's a bit on the low side, but it depends on his height, weight, etc. Also, depending on if he's lifting heavy and getting enough protein, the muscle loss should be minimized.

My $.02

For me personally, after a cheat meal I have more motivation to work harder. Now whether or not that counteracts the damage I do during the cheat, I don't know, but it does help mentally :)

Like others said, I'd personally do 3x/week, although you could probably do 4 as well. At the end of Ab Ripper X, he talks a bit about how often to do it, so that might help you a bit.

My favorite cardio is basketball. It's the one thing I can consistently enjoy while burning tons of calories.

Like someone above said, competition makes a HUGE difference. Even if I'm dead out...

If someone is happy the way they are, good for them. However, some of these people sound like they failed and want to place the blame on society. Sounds to me like they have an external locus of...

Hah, very true, and that's what I'll do with the leftovers (280 cal/slice, not too bad).

I've already lost a lot of weight and have been working out hard lately, figured I'd earned a break :D. ...

Mmm....just had 5 slices of ham/pineapple pizza with a few cinnastix (no icing) and it was GOOD! Calculated right around 2100 calories, and I had about 700-800 earlier. My calculated metabolic rate...

I just finished playing 5v5 full court basketball for a couple hours and I'm dead tired. Do you think this would count as a form of HIIT? There is a lot of sprinting (other team on a breakaway) and...

I don't think sodium makes a huge difference if you drink a lot of water. I like jerky and soups, both of which tend to be low calorie but high sodium. However, I also drink a lot of water each...

IMO that's way too few calories. You're starving your muscles, especially with weight training. If you keep it up you will lose significant muscle in addition to fat.

My suggestion? Bump it up...

I used to go to a restaurant and WAY underestimate the calories in some of the items. For example, Ruby Tuesday has Ruby Mini's: 4 small hamburgers. Seems plain enough? Depending on which site you...

Swimming is excellent cardio; however, it is not better than weights. In nearly all cases, it would be beneficial to add weight training in addition to swimming (such as alternating days, weights...
