Yea listen to this guy man..

Yea DEXA is abit better but not accurate as well. Based heavily on your water weight. You can trick it by dehydrating yourself.

Yeah so that you must change your diet. Can eat but keep it at minimum. Throw in more cardio and NEAT to compensate.

Don't starve yourself till one day you cannot tahan then go binge eating or like most ppl do. Cheat day. What for must eat clean 6 days then cheat 1 day. You can cheat everyday in moderation.

The whole toxic thing is a myth, otherwise you'd see a lot more poisonings around.
If you kept it in the fridge, then yes. Otherwise, might want to skip it because of potential bacteria growth.

2 ways that i know of

most gyms have a machine to do it, ask nicely and they may let you test yoruself for free

some malls have a coin operated machine to test your body fat and weight, costs rm1

you cannot calculate body fat % yourself, need a machine to perform testing on your body

where can i get a DEXA scan?

what is the usual price range?

Machine totally not accurate its a waste of time. IDK for people; what's the point knowing body fat percentage number?

You can look at mirror and tell what your body fat percentage by googling image for reference. If you not satisfy with it then adjust till you happy with how you look. Not how much the digits.

the machine can be like a frame of reference.

Try drink lots of water then go test again.. You will get more lean muscle mass and less body fat. Does that mean drinking water builds muscle and lose fat?

What if you're doing good, looking good on mirror and losing fat but the machine tells otherwise? Should that person continue what they doing or trust the machine and get de-motivated?

If the machine is inaccurate. How is that a reliable reading?

The most reliable reading is weight scale. Weight goes down consistently, fat for sure will go down as well.

Mirror is your best friend. If you look good then why bother the fat percentage or body weight.

Yeah. Some people will say you need to get to your standard BMI to be healthy or whatever. Is it really hard to tell if that person is above/below average body?

i understood your technical points

btw i am into strength n weight training so my weight is likely to go up not down

Same bro. Strength training.

Then you shouldn't bother body fat at all. Just carb up and lift as heavy.

People are usually confused between the regular and Diet Coke. They are afraid of artifical sweetners but they ignore the high sugar content side effects. Check out this article to bust your myth <a href="https://www.muscleinch.com/2020/02/is-coke-zero-bad-for-you-coca-cola-classic.html">Is coke zero bad for you?</a>

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and I started it because I am in the midst of starting my own supplement company and I wanted to hear from everyone what their thought process are when they are looking for a protein powder?

Do you guys go for taste, price and protein content or is there something else you look at?

Would appreciate any replies as this will help me a lot.

Thank you so much!!!

dexa scan is almost never an urgent one; just go to a public hospital if you think your older relatives have osteopenia or osteoporosis, for which a DEXA is apt.

Just hire a decent looking muscular person then do write-up of their review.

Doesn't matter the taste, price or protein content. Marketing is the key.

so it really has no calorie but the content will still give health issues in the long run. How about sparkling water?

Could be due to metabolism levels.

Sometimes just genetics, sometimes amount of the exercise, sometimes just parasites.

Inside the Lasting Legacy of Tapeworm Diets

Want lose weight, must lose overall. Targeted exercises for e.g doing situps just to reduce the tummy, usually doesent work

What I've done last time to slim down to lose weight was to have a good diet plan and stick to the diet plan consistently and be dicipline (can have cheat meal once a week), full body exercise (HIIT + weight training) at least 4-5 times a week, at least 30 minutes per day and do it in 1 session of 30 minutes with minimal rest.

After 1 year, lost at least 10kg of weight (didn't measure fat loss or water loss, but did notice lesser belly fat than before) and wear pants require belts already.

Targeted exercise is only for building muscles of certain parts of body e.g. biceps.

Body fats around ab area are the hardest becoz need to bring down the total body fat percentage close to 10-12% first and then have to follow calorie deficit diet and more cardio + weight training + ab training to bring down more body fat. Then only abs muscles will be more visible as less fat around the ab.

ps: sit up DO NOT help to reduce the fat from tummy/ab and this is scientific proven. Many fitness experts+gurus on youtube mentioned this many times already.

Yup.

And your exercise goal can only be either to lose fat, or gain muscle. Its usually harder to do both at the same time.
