I also might add that caffeine withdrawal is not bad, but tricky. Mainly a diffused headache, irritability, and excess fatigue. Goes away in about 7 to 10 days, but cravings for caffeine lasts for a long time (the tricky part 1). Many people never withdrawal from caffeine, even when they...

2000mg of caffeine is a ton! It only takes 10mg to affect mood. I'm very sensitive to caffeine and avoid all forms (other than a rare dark chocolate). It was an eye opening event to count caffeine mgs from obvious sources like coffee and especially hidden sources. Why not count caffeine mgs...

Thanks all, Actually, I switched my morning shake with my breakfast so that I could get my carbs in the first meal. Now my plan looks as follows: 9:00am Breakfast (higher carb meal) 11:30am Shake 2:00pm Stir Fry (higher carb meal) 4:30pm Snack 7:00pm Dinner (higher carb meal) 9:30pm Shake...

Cool... I seems like a huge amount of food, but after checking the cals and such I realized the breakdown would be considered a normal healthy diet. I forgot about one of the fun parts of this hobby, the learning about the body and how nutrition works. I still feel that I'm switching from...

Hello Everyone, Been a while since I've been active on the boards, but I've been using my dumbbells for about 2 months and have changed my diet during the same time. Clearly I've been getting results, even with the holiday temptations, but I am 3 years rusty and could use some Exercise/Diet...

Thanks all... I do know that whole day cheats are not going to cut it (let alone 2 or 3). I plan on following the male cutting plan with only one cheat meal per week max. However, I will "detox" for several weeks (e.i. no cheats for a month). That's the best advice so far; get on track, get...

Hello All, I'm getting my stuff back together and need some help creating a diet plan for myself. It's been a little while (3 years) since I've had the space to workout and diet. Although I know how to eat/train, I feel very rusty. I also know there is plenty of room for improvement. Here's...

Hello Everyone, It???s time for me to get back into shape. Everything I learned about food and weights I learned from here. I was able to cut and get ripped after learning how to do it right from these boards. Unfortunately, at the peek of being in the best shape of my life, family tragedy...

Thanks - I read here many times that cardio is done best on an empty stomach. I had no idea. Thank you. I'll be eating a healthy breakfast first thing in the morning.

Please review my WORKOUT and give me a little feedback. My stats: 31 ??? male ??? 6 feet 6 inches ??? 245 pounds (about 20 pounds over weight) My goals: Currently cutting, but I want to keep my muscle and bulk-up once my body fat is lower My diet: DP & w8 - High Fat/Protein, Low...

Thanks! I was just starting to wonder about the cream/flax combo. I'll switch to one or the other. I'm working on the water. I think I'm able to increase a liter each week. I lost count of how many bathroom trips I make last night alone. Capers are like little olives. They are flower buds...

Hello Everybody, I started my first sugar free cutting diet a week ago Sudnay and would like a critique on my menu. I also have a few questions too. But first let me give you my stats, menu, and workout. STATS male 30 years old 275 pounds 6' 6" tall 30% body fat MENU Meal 1 2 scoops...

Thanks everyone! When i wrote this original post I saw all the carbs and sugars and was shocked myself, but I have to validate myself because my diet before (and all my life) was pure crap. This diet was a great first step and helped me loose weight (some may have been muscle). It gave me a...

Thank You! That just makes it even easier. I have to laugh because I've been over working and take much more time than I needed. The good news is that I have learned to go everyday and got myself used to it. These changes just make being healthy and fit even eaiser. I've been using the...
