The only reason I'm second guessing her is because I feel so terrible. Can you have sugar withdrawal? I used to eat tons of sugar.

I ate 3 LARGE meals a day rather than 6 small. Almost always ended my evening with a large bowl of ice cream or brownie or something sweet. Always had regular soda with my lunch. Lots of pasta...

I have been reading up on Nutrition info on this site, I am really clueless about it and its going to take some time to wrap my head around all of it (which is part of the reason why I hired a...

I recently hired a trainer and am planning to compete next March in first bikini competition. My trainer has me on typical clean eating diet (eating 6 small meals a day, high protein, low fat). I...

What makes you say that? I am paying lots of money so I hope she knows what she is doing, she does have a good track record.
Do you think I should add fat to my diet? She wanted me to add more...

I have a competition prep trainer and I recently started clean eating, I eat 6 meals a day. It seems like a large amount of food, but I am left feeling shaky esp in mornings and weak when I'm...

I posted this in over 35, but wanted to get some opinions from women who compete in bikini. How old is too old to start? I've only been lifting for about 3 months consistently. I'm 38 but would...

Had MRI with and without contrast - everything normal (thank God b/c I'm a cancer survivor and Dr's first concern was it had spread!).

It may not be "Exertion headache" afterall. They...

If you like how it looks then don't worry about your hubby. Does he workout? If not, maybe he's intimidated by how strong you are getting??

What the heck is rep power? What does in the red mean? New here...

I never knew muscle could look so good until I started developing it! I like Jamie Eason's plan. I don't follow it to a T, but I like how it has lots of options for working each body part.

Marzia Prince?

I guess I'm odd one out because I don't mind people staring. I take it as a compliment!

5'3 and 93 lbs is VERY thin. (I'm 5'1 and 98/99 lbs and size 00 is sometimes too big for me. I can't imagine being any skinnier.)
When she starts working out and lifting she is going to really...

Thanks! I really hope that is the case for me. If they aren't gone in a couple days I'm going to ask for MRI. Chiro adjusted my neck today and said to do more reps less weight until I feel...
