hello,
i found a protein powder that i can actually enjoy. the only drawback is that it is high in cholesterol. shalli use it less frequently than 2x’s a week because of this?

i will add that i have gastric problems with most of the powders…either the soy (which i’m very allergic to) or the high sugar content.

i would love to hear your feedback!

(the type i love the flavor of is hank’s)

thanks

Hi,
I have followed the advices you provided in the Ultimate Weight Loss Guide, and it has worked great for me. I focussed on calorie-in Vs calorie out ratio to loose weight and I have lost 1Kg per week for six weeks on a row, then without changing anything, I have experieced a plateau. It’s two weeks now that I am stagnating @68 Kg.

My question is: Is it possible that our body adapts to lower calorie input? and if so, Is there a way to break this plateau and go back to loosing weight.

Thank you!

how does it work ? if you eat 6 meals a day you will always have glucose ready for fuel in your blood for when you do your cardio so when is fat getting burned ? muscle is easier for your bodie to burn to get energy from so if you run out of glucose in your blood while doing cardio is the bodie going to get it’s energy from muscle or fat ?

Question:
I have an slipped disc in L5-S1. Which exercises can I do to get the lower back muscles strong?

Would deadlifting with light weights work?

Thanks,

like what they keep on asking regarding the weights training the same time with the loosing weight program should be keep separate training, so what is the schedule or program for this problem? is 30 minutes staionary bike everyday good for my diet? how about the weights training?

I wanto design weight traning program that has me working out 4 days/week. I was looking to stick to ur upper/lower split with ON, ON, OFF, ON, ON, OFF, OFF layout through the week.

Question: wouldn’t the legs get more training than the upper body using this layout? eg:
Day1. chest/triceps
Day2. legs
Day3. off
Day4. back/biceps/shoulders
Day5. legs
Day6/7. off
As you can see the legs get worked twice throughout the week where as the upper muscle groups only get worked once. Also this layout forces me to have a day where i have to work 3 upper muscle groups (back/biceps/shoulders) and a day where i only work 2 (chest/triceps).

My concern is with working the legs too much and the upper body not enough. And also working 2 upper muscels one day and 3 the next. Are any of these things bad??? should i be worrying???

Also I came up with a workout plan to try and avoid the concerns i have-
Day1. chest/triceps
Day2. legs
Day3. off
Day4. back/biceps
Day5. legs/shoulders
Day6/7. off
would this qualify as a “non-idioic” weight training program?

Any help, comments, info, suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Also great site, great info and very well put together!!

At 5′8 and 145lbs (give or take) I’m looking to gain weight. I’m excercising 6 times a week now and need to eat more to keep up with my workout program, but I just can’t seem to eat enough. Any suggestions on what I can buy from the store to help with proper weight gain?

1) Would you recommend the use of a steam room after workout? Why?…

2) Would you recommend the CKD Diet for someone who is trying to lose fat and not muscle?
