Thank you very much Patrick. I will work on that and let you know in a few weeks.

I do sit a lot at work. I will try to pillow tonight and see what happens. Is their exercises that I can do to strengthen my hip flexors? I hate having this feeling of "Old" with my hips. After doing some exercises with a rubber band, in various directions, the discomfort goes away and I will...

My sleeping habits vary. I prefer to sleep on my front but sometimes wake up on my back. I am a deep sleeper and roam around from my front to my back. I have very comfortable shoes and I stretch my feet two to three times a day. They are only sore in the morning only if I do a lot of...

I have been waking up a little stiff in my hips and in my feet every morning. I know I have planter facsiatis in both of my feet and I keep it at bay by stretching throughout the day, but I have been stiff and sore in my hips. I have been stretching out the Psoas every morning a long with my...

The other thing to keep in mind is that if you cut down in calories, don't cut down in feedings. The best thing to do is to graze so your body still knows that it is getting the food, just less of it. That is why I upped my feedings to 6-7 times a day instead of the normal (should never have...

You are preaching the the choir. I tried not to put to much calculations to the food intake in comparison to the expenditure through working out. Because the human body is just one variable that contains so many different variables within it, I tried to leave the math only to where it is...

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I will take a look at it when I have more time to explore the account and possibly the software. I have been working on something for my smart phone (Moto Q) so I can manage my journal and data. Yes, I am a gear. My wife says I make things way to...

This is were the boring part of me comes out. I reviewed my requirements for keeping my strength and losing fat. I also looked over the foods that I really enjoy and I came up with this as a food plan. I wanted to keep it simple so I tried to make things modular with as little measuring as...

I have lost over 30lbs since January 1st of 2008. In December I looked at myself in the mirror while I was at the YMCA getting ready to go swimming with my kids and I saw a large man with large love handles and a large gut. Even though I am an avid lifter and can gain muscle easier than...

I would like to re-hit the cycling of calories because it is very important. Cycling your calories will allow you to shed some more weight with out going off your diet (this has been a huge factor in my weight loss). It will allow you to have a free day or at least a day that you are not...

Its called calorie cycling or "Zig-Zag Diet." What happens is your body plateaus out after being on the same diet and calorie intake. You mebolism stays constant so it never has a chance to speed up and burn the fat that you have stored and the fod yopu have eaten. I am currently maintaining...

Thank you I apologize for not responding as much as I should. I have been without internet for awhile so i have been using my phone to keep up with this discussion. Biggly, thank you very much for standing up for my question. I am a big man that has had a lot of success in bulking up in size...

I am getting my diet prepared for the next year. I know....another New Years Resoluter.... I lift and exercise regularly and do not plan on stopping. I am just changing my diet to try to lose more weight and maintain my muscle. The question that I have for everyone is, which is the better source...

I just realized that other people have already talked about this and some more answers have already been posted. I am seeing that the majority of the people say that the only way to received the benefits of coconut oil is only to take a large amount of it. I am not going to suck on a bottle of...

I have been doing a lot of reading on coconut oil and the benefits that has for a person's body. A lot is talking about vibral benefits and also thyroid benefits. This would make me believe that it is good for fighting off viruses and also help with fat loss. But that thing that my wife and I...
