@brothergee They probably think the same about you doing you're thing. You're probably more alike than you know.

@rocky24 No problem! Hope it can be useful going forward.

@dawn16 No problem. But I'm a bit confused. 1.6 g/kg bodyweight is the minimum (although really you can probably make progress on less). My response was countering the 1 g/lb bodyweight myth.

@shaunf Just for any bystanders tuning in, I'll add that the 1 g per lb bodyweight rule is grandly overstated and has been proven such through research. You can definitely eat that much if you want -- maybe you love whatever protein sources you're eating from or utilizing a higher intake for...

@leroyll1990 No problem. It's always good to remember that fitness is a lifestyle and not a destination. Most women are inundated with media and rhetoric about some mystical "weight loss journey" where they'll turn up with a pot of gold at the other end. True fitness isn't measured by a number...

@kratiscope Yeah, I'd recommend any beginner to start with recomping for a year before setting any goals for weight change. Recomping works best for beginners so it's a smart move to take advantage of it. Unless someone is very thin and needs to bulk or technically 'obese' and wants to lean out...

@sanhen143 Same issue here. I always explain the concept of building muscle but they're obsessed with doing these 10 minute cardio videos on YouTube lol

@sanhen143 I have the same experience. The women in my family think weight loss is a compliment so they're always like "You've lost weight!" And I'm like 'I literally have gained weight'. And then they're like "Well you've look like you lost weight!" It's like I know they want me to say 'thank...

@milan45 I'm sorry about how you felt when you were skinny. That said, there's no inherent need to lose weight in the first place. Being overweight isn't necessarily unhealthy. You can be overweight and still pass every strength test and all your blood tests with flying colors. You can be...

@mam2011 Thank you! I hope they get to read it. Sometimes the long-windedness turns people off but I really wanted to stress why certain macros are necessary rather than just say they are.

@jeffwilly001 I apologize for not conveying my suggestions in an articulate enough way for you to understand but your response comes off as ill-mannered and disingenuous. You asked for suggestions but you give the impression that that was an empty offer. Also implying that someone who can't...

@asking79 Good point. Yeah, it's not always the best for your digestive system either. The dose is the poison, as they say.

@jeffwilly001 Using a certain lens to convey information is typically more proactive and accommodating for those who need it. Otherwise, we risk leaving people behind and that gets into ableism territory (speaking as someone who is also long-winded but works with neurodivergent and disabled...

@jeffwilly001 I'm pretty sure with OP's ADHD this information overload / format will be similarly overwhelming, although I think you make some good points.

@asking79 Totally agree. I left a comment about it higher up because I think a lot of newbs see this and get initimidated. More doesn't always equal better. And more people need to be aware of that.

@meteorstorm If you can do 5 you can probably get to 11 with the Russian Fighter Pull-up Program in like 3 months. Worked for me!

@adiannon I recommend the PPL program to any beginner. Most people use barbells for these type of programs. But dumbbells can mirror every single barbell movement and someone has taken the liberty to outline the dumbbell program here: Once you get back into the gym, you can simply use the...

@uninformed Good advice!!

@danielfromcanada The range you provided is still within what I recommended. However, the American College of Sports Medicine, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Dietitians of Canada don't shy away from the upper range I stated. I generally eat in the lower range myself. However, there's enough...

@uninformed I follow her on IG. She's a beast! I would warn that kettlebell exercises are pretty in line with HIIT, and require a lot of aerobic exertion.
