@msallyjm No but you can use protein powder for cooking. Making high protein low cal deserts with it absolutely changed everything for me. My sweet tooth stays satisfied and I'm losing weight at a very fast pace without trying.

@ms7dc Then no

@ms7dc Do they contain calories?

@ms7dc Liquid calories don't bring any satiety and are the fastest to spike your blood sugar, which in turn makes you hungry. No liquid calories, not even protein shakes.

@makisupa101 Great point!

@yeswin Get at least 8 hours of sleep. Here's what sleep does for you: During sleep, the body releases human growth hormone (HGH), which plays a crucial role in muscle repair and growth. HGH stimulates protein synthesis, the process by which damaged muscle fibers are repaired and new muscle...

@simslions Nicely done, but don't stop here. Ask your doctor to test you for APoB which is a much more useful prediction of cardio vascular health than HDL/LDL/Ratios and aim to get it under 80.

@nuggets71 Once again - 4 lbs of fat is 1000 calories per day in excess. This is chemistry (and physics). There's no cheating that. You don't gain fat other than consuming excess calories. There are no exceptions. Assuming that you haven't eaten 1000 calories per day in excess. The most common...

@nuggets71 You're not reading what I wrote. Gaining 4lbs in 2 weeks means you were 1000 calories in surplus (even then your body would actually start making adjustments; gaining 4lbs of fat in 2 weeks is very hard to do unless you're pounding ice cream by the gallon). Does that sound...

@nuggets71 I agree with what the other commenter said. It's extremely unlikely you're eating 1500 cal per day and gaining weight. If you gain 4 lbs of fat in 2 weeks, that's 14,000 calories of excess. Divided by 14 days that's 1000 calories per day in excess of your maintenance. There's no way...

@agapejohn Do APoB and lp(a) tests. lp(a) is genetic and you need to do it once. You can't change it for now, but it will let you know how aggresive to be with other risk factors. APoB is a much better predictor of cardiovascular health than cholesterol. "Good" and "Bad" cholesterol are not...
