@thephilosopher6 Avoid the candies! In an exercising person you won't readily store excess carbs as fat, but you won't burn much fat either already stored or what you keep eating. I have a few simple rules: - If its high protein I eat it. - If its high fat and high protein I eat it. - If its...

@bridgida Prioritize strength training, basic GPP stuff you don't have to kill yourself. As time allows include cardio and mobility. As you age, strength and muscle mass are what anchor every other trait - they're the hardest to build or reclaim. Weight loss is largely a passive activity - plan...

@thephilosopher6 You can eat some garbage, but keep in mind the calorie count, don't eat a lot of garbage and stay away from total crap like gummies and soda. Have some fruit juice and seltzer instead, and only use about 1/3 juice. It is easy to get too many cals eating poorly, and then even if...

@thephilosopher6 What you eat is not the same as how much. You need to get a solid amount of protein and reduce added fats. You can still make progress eating like crap as long as its high protein and you'd have to reduce portions. It is easier if you eat better (more whole foods). I don't worry...

@thups I have never had good luck going to physio for diagnostic work. It is required by my insurance before they will pay for MRI or other diagnosis by specialist after being seen by my GP. You may have to see one, and they might get lucky, but in my experience they are exponentially more...

@mlenadc Not to be knowitallogist, but at the bottom of an ATG the hamstrings actually deload a bit.

@leeza For me, life and the occasional non training related injury (am 53) interrupts my fitness often enough I'm always on the road to topping out. Haven't had a chance to stall in a long time. But yeah, get some variety!

@rein_29 Realistically you could do just that. There is a saying "you can't out-exercise a bad diet" and this is true up to a point. When I am not exercising I have to cut about 400-500 cals a day from my diet or I'll start putting on fat. That said, don't put those calories back into your...

@joshlete If you just consume over the day, you'll have good protein for overall health and muscle mass. To maximize muscle protein synthesis you should get your protein in spikes, spaced about 4 hours apart. For younger folks, 30gr is about the most you can make use of per spike. Older folks...
