Diets are not only for losing weight tho.. Welp, I recommend going to a specialist so they can give you an accurate "list" of what to do and do not

Just noticed this thread, hey fellow workout sistrens!

I started going to gym around 3 months ago after being forced to take a break for more than a year due to health problems. Obviously in the meanwhile I gained a lot of weight reaching 85 kg (187 lbs) that, even being 1.85 meters (6'1") tall, was on the verge of being overweight. My primary target has been the weight loss so far and now that I reached a good result with that (78kg - 172 lbs), I started focusing more on muscle workout than cardio. I'm using a protein integrator powder every morning mixed with soy milk and after the gym in a glass of water, as I go 3 times a week. The results are starting to show but, I don't know if it is because I'm impatient, at a really slow pace. What you say guys? Should I add something into my diet?

I'm 6'2" and about 185-190 lbs. I don't have any excess fat, but I want to build some muscle because I have near none at all. When I'm at the gym I kind of never really know what to focus on. Also, I don't have a clue on what kind of protein I should be using if any at all. Any advice from more experienced sistrens?

Find a pre-made routine first of all and stick to it for a few months. There are plenty floating around on the net.

A little bit of protein doesn't hurt, but just make sure that you're training hard and eating right to make the most of it. It's only a supplement after all.

As for brands, up until this year I religiously used Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard Whey, but I'm currently using MyProtein Whey. You get a good amount of protein per serving without any added sugars and stuff and it's very cheap considering its quality. So it's all around win really.

I know diets aren't just for losing weight. My sister's a nutritionist, so I know exactly what to eat at what time of the day. I just need a little boost by having a good routine and protein to add to my diet.

I lost a lot of weight since last summer and i want to lean out, i changed my work out routine just yday and it's ****ing intense.

I just started a new bodybuilding program ... And i am amazed .. Taking that body to the next Level ... Will be an amazing ride ... Stay Motivated guys ... U have the power

[MellowYellow]

I started working out, doing cardio and eating healthy again. My routine basically consists of some free weights and a lot of body weight exercises as I'm just trying to get lean and be healthy, not look like "The Rock".

Also, I'm not taking any supplements at all. I get my proteins from fish, low fat ham, buttermilk, turkey and so on. Additionally a lot of organic vegetables and fruits.

Are we allowed to put up "receipts" of our progress in here? Just for comparison.
I had some back then in PYP but that thread is gone.

I only started off with whey protein like everyone else and that's the type that worked better for me so I take Optimum Nutrition Whey [Cookies n milk ]

I blend a shake every morning of oatmeal, milk, protein, banana, peanut butter, 2 eggs, flaxseed oil that's my 1,050 calorie mass gainer for the day.

And I started adding vitamin and other supplements when I realized I was actually making gains

I take 1 Animal Pak vitamin packet every day after my mid deal.

I've gotten so good at swallowing... pills.



And I also take 3 Fish oil pills for my joints.

Pre work out I take C4 preworkout cuz that's the only one that tastes decent and works good.

Post workout I take creatine and then have my protein shake just with water.

I also take some green tea extract pills and Synephrine and chromium to burn fat before days where I do hard cardio

omg at this essay let me bookmark

Lemme bookmark too.

You don't know how happy I am to hear someone say that. I thought I was alone in thinking that and was starting to lose hope.

Don't get me wrong, nothing's wrong with a little cardio, but a lot of the time when I see people doing it just seems halfhearted like they're going through the motions or something. I wish more people were a little more enthusiastic about it.



Oh, and if we're gonna speak bro speak can we at least get it right? What's this "bruh" thing all about? Sounds like a flop to me.

I mean, do you even lift bro? I seriously have no idea.

U srs bruh? It's Bodybuilding forum slang.

same height as me. damn! and you're aiming for 200?

[Tigre]

Yay! My fitness thread flopped but I'm glad for this.

I'm very thin. 6'1 and 150 pounds. I'm cutting sugar out of my diet and adding two protein shakes a day. What else can I do to get healthier while gaining weight?

[Ressti]

I wanna lose some belly fat, but retain some butt fat. Do y'all have some tips?

Can't spot reduce fat I'm afraid. It's in the hands of genetics where you'll lose it faster.

Just work your glutes to make up for losing fat there or something.
