it is the saturated fat in the diet, not dietary cholesterol, is what influences blood cholesterol levels the most

Factors that contributes to cardiovascular problems include:
smoking
controlling blood pressure maintaining a blood cholesterol level below 200 mg/dl
exercising regularly
family history of heart disease
genetics
obesity

body makes most of your blood cholesterol.

the more saturated fats one eats, the more LDL cholesterol is produced.

Eggs only contain 2 grams of saturated fat

the more HDL in your body, the better

It is the saturated fat that is the culprit.

the egg contains just 2 grams of saturated fat.

how long do you guys workout everyday?
i workout only for 30 minutes everday, including HIIT
7 days a week, I alternate each muscle group in such a way that, after every workout they will get a recovery of 1 day period?
I considered myself to be a amateur looking for better physique(bodybuilder? lol i wish i am:D)

the question is:
30 minutes of heart pumping workout, is it enough?
hope you guys can give me some opinions~^^

must get enough of sleep, my instructor advised me ten times a day everytime i see him.

yah growth hormone thingie

I read the part about caffeine, that really messes up the deep sleep process but it's not easy to drink less coffee.

My trainer tells me that I should stay away from supplements and fitness magazines because the magazines are owned by pharmaceutical companies.

The zines promote and recommend supplements manufactured by the pharmaceuticals which does very little in promoting growth.

When you dont grow, you start to think 'I should read more magazines' or 'I need more supplements.' Which means more money for them.

Its better to adjust your diet and get nutrients from food you eat

I see there are so many types of whey protein?
like 5lbs.. 10lbs.. 12lbs..
what does those mean?
any reading material?
thanks =)

if drink a lot but less eat,will i grow well?

obviously not..
no protein..

True, if you take the steroid route.

'lbs' is a weight unit. It's called pounds.

1kg = 2.2 lbs. 5 lbs tub has 2.27kg of 'abc' inside it.
('abc' = whey, creatine, mass gainers, soy protein, milk powder, sand, salt, pepper, water, oil, gold coins, pixie dust, magic potion, elixir of life, etc.)

You don't need me to embarass you like this.
You could've searched it using Google first.

Hi fox,

i m lil confuse with ur breakfast on morning: 9am sandwitch with eggs+tuna/salmon+mayolite+tomato/cucumber slice and a cup of coffee/HL milk/fruit juice and vitagen collagen

- u mean some time u take salmon + mayo+tomato only? and sumtime just hl milk?

What time is ur tea time?

9pm u can take some tuna or milk. (fruits contains carbs (frustose), try to reduce carbs intake aft 8pm.

For your case i would suggest u to bulk up first.

hi bro jamis.. what did u mean by bulk up?

my breakfast usually is 2 slices of wheatmeal bread which containing 1 reduced fat cheese slice+tuna or salmon+fried egg+tomato or cucumber with milk+vitagen (breakfast and drink)

my teatime is 2pm-3pm

okok i wont take fruits at night anymore i also heard fruits are rubbish at night

bulk up - add on ur muscle mass.

I think it is better for u to take ur lunch, introduce with some meat or anything with protein and cut out the tea and 4pm u can have ur another meal. Eat every 3-4hrs should do the work and ur protein intake should be 1g to per pound of the bodyweight a day and split it out into ur small 6-7 meals.

Your breakfast looks good to me thou.

hi guys, got a question here..
it was stated that it important to have sufficient micro nutrition in our diet, but i was thinking how much is sufficient?
'm currently taking multi vitamin tablets one a day in addition to the usual daily diet.. is it safe to take 2 of those tables during workout days? some have been saying that its gonna lead to overdose so i'm kinda confused
