Thanks so much! I didn't know that, but it's interesting. Muchos Gracias!

Is it better to do my morning cardio before I eat breakfast, or afterwards? If I do it before breakfast, I burn fat, but if I do it after breakfast, I'll burn calories I ate at that meal. So confused, help me? Edit: Another question, do I need to eat protien in the day before I do circuit...

Oatmeal. Good for breakfast, all the carbs get burned off, and it digests slower so that you don't get hungry as quickly afterwards.

When I get my FinAid check, I'm planning on getting some Lipoflame, definitely. I WAS planning on getting t3, but Lipoflame seems like it would be better. Would mixing the two give me better results, or would it be a bad idea/waste of money?

That is a very irresponsible move. Half the point of a cheat meal is to get your metabolism boosted up a little, so it doesn't think "food is hard to find right now". Bodies are very prehistoric thinkers. It also makes you lose water, and dehydrates you so that your next work out is harder. So...

Thanks for your help, I'll try that out.

I have a cardio glide, it makes you basically do rows... I burn about 150-175 each day using it. I get on that on lower body days because it's so rough on my arms, and I walk a couple miles for cardio on upper body days. The weight work out may only be 20 minutes but I'm sore the rest of the...

I'm already using it, that's where I got all the numbers above.

So, I've been sticking to my diet & exercize plan pretty well for the past two weeks, and I've gotten decent results, but I'm worried they aren't enough to reach my goal of 20 lbs at the end of the year, because it takes so long to burn those last few lbs. My dieting plan is equaling out to...

Is it good or bad to burn more calories than you're taking in (almost double the amount) for extended periods of time? At what time does it begin to get harmful when you're dieting, if at all?

What are some good meats, with lots of protein, and less carbs and cals?

Thank you very much! I'll look into that plan. My main problem is that I'm so short I can't eat as many calories as most can and maintain a healthy weight. I also have a very very slow metabolism, and it seems like everything I turns into fat and stays there no matter what I do.

My food choices depend on what we have in the house, and what's the healthiest at the time to eat. I'm bad about eating sweets and junk food, but I've been getting better at it. I do 3 sets of each, 20 crunches, 10 pushups, 15 curls with 10 lbs, and this is going to sound really lame, but there...

I don't know much about this kind of stuff, so I've just been trying to do a 2000 cal diet. I'm 4' 11", 145lbs, 24.6%BF. My husband's the health savvy one, all he has to worry about is how much protien he eats... lucky guy.

I just timed my circuit, it takes 25 minutes, high intensity, with no rest between sets. It's an aerobic circuit with weights. Todays complete meal count added up to 1586 cals, 44 grams of fat, 224 carbs, and 68 grams of protein.
