Better to start using the lotion now because it's going to take awhile for the marks to go away anyway. Plus, it's not too late. Pregnant mothers can minimize their stretch marks a lot i.e. it's not so glaringly obvious.

TBH, stretch marks is something I don't worry about so much. Cellulite on thighs are more ugly. The orange peel is baddddddddddddddddddd...

And if I can look like Beyonce, I'd be happy already.

i see,Oh yeah~so my body MAY become more curvy i still hav 3 years to go,im still growing~

What is protein shake?

From what I understand, protein is harder to convert to ATP during exercise. Carbo is the easiest one. Will it affect my exercise performance if I convert to protein shake only?

yeap my ankle is quite stiff, i cant even sit in a kneeling position ( those Japanese tea ceremony sittings? ) it really hurt. I have a very strong joints, good is that i am not easily injured, bad thing is that it's very stiff =/

hahaha, I just took Pizzahut garden salad as my lunch just now. No mayonese and salad sauce of course

Ah. I didnt say it was bad, I'm just saying that it's 100% fat yanno. 10g of olive oil has more fat than 10g of mayo

Your dish looks amazing!! I jz hate things saltless - "The use of salt is valuable in low blood pressure. Until the blood pressure reaches normal levels through proper dietary and other remedies, it is essential that you take salty foods and half a teaspoon of salt in water daily."      er.. hurray for low blood pressure?
Btw an interesting insight I received after a questionnaire today :

You're a fast oxidizer.

Because you crave salty foods, cheeses, and meats, you may be a fast oxidizer. This is the fancy term for your metabolic rate. It simply means that you burn through the nutrients in your food rapidly and that you therefore produce energy instantly. If the energy is not used immediately, it is stored as fat. Carbs only speed your oxidation and energy production further. So to best serve your metabolism and feel energized both physically and mentally, you require foods with higher percentages of proteins and fats. Make sure that there is protein in everything you eat, including snacks. Your ideal meals and snacks should break down to a ratio of 20% carbs, 50% protein, and 30% fat.

Eating Late At Night Is Bad: Myth

hmm.. should i eat now? 3.32am lolx

Yes... very headache subject. Wei, I think if we can understand all these, we can become advisor and earn $ ady
You reminded me something!

No wonder everytime I balik after Taekwondo training, still feel the body heaty and hard to sleep (still feel very hyperactive) until 3 hours after training. Elliptical session can never do this.

So, this is called burning fats?

Hmm....ok sounds good. Can I take a range? >.> 3-4 kg for me.

Errr...question : how to avoid weighing myself when BF counter is using it? >.>

Also, I might be reporting late on the last week : travelling during that period.

Hey guys, Im currently 18, having a height of about 163cm and weigh about 45kg. I know you're gonna kill me after reading that, but listen first. Im not gonna complain that I'm fat, but the thing is, I actually have small bones and I dont look fat. But when you see the inside, I have quite a big tummy. I dont know where it came from because Im prone to having lots of wind in my tummy too. Problem now is, I wanna shed off this tummy and at the same time slim down my face, so Im gonna give it a go on dieting. Im currently exercising daily, not so much on the threadmill. I go for walks and 30minutes on the cycling machine(trying to build calf muscles). Will crunches help ? Any advice? Thanks in advance !

I'm 155cm, was at 21.5% bodyfat when my weight was 55kg.

You dont need to be obsessed with scale weight. You need body recomposition to lower your bodyfat level.

Start lifting heavy.

Hmm....apples being simple carbs. Now that's new. It does contain sugar yes but maybe we should switch to the term Refined Carbs i.e. processed carbohydrates that make it easy to breakdown. Because essentially, that's what simple carbs really is.

When it comes to pre- and post-nutrition stuff, what I'm reading lately is telling me that bananas shouldn't be eaten on it's own for people who exercise a lot. That they need a proper supplement to replace the nutrients that they have lost or used up during the exercise. They call a banana "sugar that is dressed up!" lol!

I usually don't advise about pre- and post-nutrition stuff as it can get extremely touchy with people here. And considering that I have problems exercising regularly, they probably wouldn't want to listen to me anyways.

And yeah, I do work there. We change names now though.

First thing in the morning...like as soon as your feet hit the floor...consume a "high glycemic" meal with more "sugary" carbs, high quality protein, and no fat! (A good example would be a banana, bowl of breakfast cereal, and whey protein isolate mixed with non-fat milk.)

This specific combination of nutrients will create a short-term spike of insulin that will act as a fast transport for your remaining "free testosterone" and shoot it directly into your muscle cells to stop catabolic muscle loss and trigger insane new growth!

There is no such formula for this, just use cardio and jock every day .
if you use cardio for 30 mins every day you will loose 3-4 lbs in a week...

skinny?!LOL!But i am 50-52!   :lol:FLESHY i guess
i should firm up..but i dont think i should maintain my weight...my POV is 50-52 is kinda heavy for a girl with 162cm

Which is better for losing weight?

strength training or interval cardio??
