It depends on the person. In general, coffee is beneficial to losing fat, though its effect isnt that great. | ||

Just early enough so it doesn't affect your sleeping. This diet is just plain stupid. And being 140lb @5'6-7 is just skinny. Lift some weights, gain muscle (by eating moreeee than 1200cals lol) and you'll look a whole lot better. Promise. | ||

The way I see it, caffein prevents one from falling asleep. If you drink a cup of coffee right before going to bed, you obviously won't be able to sleep, will you? So it should take the body a certain time to process the caffein, shouldn't it? | ||

Your caffeine tolerance varies based on individual metabolism, body chemistry, and other factors. I can finish pounding an energy drink or glass of sweet tea, lay down, and fall asleep in minutes if my body is ready to sleep. Other people drink just a little caffeine a few hours before bed and have trouble. In other words, only you can answer this for you. Oh, overall health and hydration actually have an effect on it as well. | ||

I just don't get why people who know what they are talking about somewhat, like you, sit and try to fight for attention in a swarm of people that don't know what they are talking about. | ||

Exactly, and like others have said only you know how it affects you. If tonight you drink a cup of coffee an hour before bed and get to sleep perfectly fine, then an hour before bed is perfectly fine. If you find that you lay awake for awhile, then try cutting back to two hours. See, food and drink for this type of stuff is largely trial and error. Some people do well on a paleo diet while others need more >100g of carbs. While it is simple, you have to find what works for you. For example, the other day I woke up, ate a single large breast of chicken (running out of food too :\ need groceries), and hit the gym. My workout was shit, and I was lucky it was me going in to try out exercises in my last routine. No energy and I forced myself to stop early. What did I learn? I need more than just protein in the morning to lift. Mostly I (personally) need carbs. I wouldn't have known this if I didn't try it out. Ya get what I'm saying? | ||

Finally be aware of when you're eating. Don't eat large dinners and not at all close to when you sleep. | ||

http://www.scoobysworkshop.com/ Scooby is a well known guy on YouTube, and he can get you started on the right path. The reason I like him so much is he's honest and open about everything. If you have unrealistic goals for the work you're willing to put in then he will tell you that, unlike most of the places you can get info from. I would read the nutrition part of that website thorougly, because as everyone else has said your diet is horrible. Now you don't have to take it to the exact extremes that Scooby recommends, but consider working toward such a goal. I've found that changes that are drastic tend to fail, if employed in a short period of time. These things need to be gradual. You will lose that flab in time, with proper nutrion and training. I would trust all advice you can gather from Scooby. Best. | ||

Anyways, I don't know why I do it. Maybe because I was once at that point of believing you needed to worry about eating every 2 hours to keep up your metabolism and worried about the isometric contraction of the peak of the muscle of the tendon to hit the muscle form all angles. Or maybe it was because I was once 205 lbs at 5'10 or 5'11 until I (unhealthily) dieted down to 164 so I was just skinny fat. Maybe I help because I was once in that shoe. It really isn't as complicated as people make it out to be, as long as you start off in the right direction. TL HF helped me out because I was willing to listen. I owe the same to other people. If they don't listen, then I don't worry about it. The problem with threads like these are the posters who just sprout bullshit which far outnumber me. They just pass on what they've heard. There isn't an army to back me up like in HF with General Eshlow to point me to my post. @iNSiPiD1 I was wondering how many people knew about scooby after receiving a video from him from a buddy... If you can listen to this guy, then you've done more than I could. + Show Spoiler + First of all, the guy is wrong on some accounts and right on others. Refer to this post by Eshlow over at the TLHF to see why. Generally, anybody who recommends whole grains I ignore. Anybody who says that 5-7 meals a day or protein every two hours I do ignore without question. I suggest you do the same. I've only skimmed his website though, so feel free to inform me if I am wrong. | ||

Hit a random bodybuilding forum, read the stickies and you will do fine with a decent bb diet. Odds are you will eat MUCH more than you already do. And you certainly will get more satisfying results when you look in the mirror. Average you will lose 1kg FAT each week. GLHF Edit: Even doctor advices are f*ckin sad, they will measure height + weight and determine if you are overweight or not, haha. Thats one of the biggest BS spoon-fed by the "authorities" lol. | ||

"energy saving mode" doesn't happen until you haven't eaten for over 72 hours; in fact if anything, your metabolic rate is increased in a fast shorter than 72 hours, mostly due to increased adrenaline. I don't know about "increased life span" - I'd like to see some studies on your "widely proven" information. On June 12 2011 03:22 yeaitooted wrote: I work out religiously and i read the forums a lot and the general rule to cut is x10 your body weight in calories. Also i have read your post and it is a bit confusing to me so ill just give you what i know. If your having a hard time losing the last bit of fat try 40/40/20 , and ketos diet. Mix it up throughout the week say 40/40/20 mon-wensday, ketos thursday-saturday CARB load on sunday. Carb load day is a must and you should aim at maintenance level in calorie intake or a bit above. Make sure on monday you do your cardio day as its been suggested better, (after a carb load day) i have no concrete information on this though but its no harm doing it. You have to mix constantly mix up your diet to confuse your body. Another note is since your at the last stretching point of weight loss you might need 2 carb load days out of the week. extremely low carb diets such as atkins or "keto" diets are famous for their side effect of not being able to maintain an intense workout level in most people. If you're doing cardio now and switch to this type of diet, expect your distance and speed to suffer greatly. I'd really recommend that people looking for health and nutrition advice take travis's suggestion and check out the health and fitness thread in the community forum. There's currently 350+ pages of great information, and we're looking into getting a subforum now. | ||
