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...

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 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...

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...

Another Question: How many different exersises should I do for each muscle group? Also reps and sets. Right now I'm doing 3 sets each with 8 reps of heavy weights, adding more weight after each set.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't lost weight as in pounds. I've been burning fat and replacing it with muscle so my weight of 275 has stayed the same. My muscles are harder and by belly is slowly going away. I'm more concerned with burning the fat off than loosing weight.
