  1. 1000 fat vs 1000 sugar

  4. Pyramid with weight change or rep change

    Hi, I'm trying to get nice muscle "separation" between my biceps/triceps and more muscle on my deltoids.

  6. low calories burn when lifting weight

    Hi, I have a program laid down by a Trainer to help me get my biceps/shoulders/tricepts look "cut" (that is, with a nice separation between the muscles). Arms are small muscles so I cannot expect to burn a lot of calories when working them out. However, my heart monitor (which is very reliable)...

  7. protein excess

    Hi All, I know that carbs are broken down into sugars. Proteins (I'm referring to pure whey) are broken down into aminoacids. In order to shed fat I have to eat a specific amount of proteins per day. What does it happen if I exceed my daily intake of proteins? Can the exceeding amino acids be...

  8. xylitol

  9. carbs and sugars

    Hi thanks for the replies. Yes, now I am a little bit confused. In the nutritional panel of this BREAD there are: - Carbs 100 g - of which Sugars 10 g I am not considering fibers, fat etc. If you do NOT use all the carbs they will be broken down into sugars. So, in the above example, 90 g...

  10. carbs and sugars

  13. 6 pack abs men vs women

    Hi, I'm a woman and I'm trying to get my six pack popping out. I have noticed that there are a lot of six-pack programs "for women" or "for men". Given the obvious difference in terms of strength, fat % (e.g. a man has to perform 15 reps while a woman has to perform less reps etc.) I don't...

  14. carbs and sugar in different skim milk

    Hello, I'm confused by the nutritional information of different "skim" milk. Coles skim milk has the following (per 250 ml): Carbs=12,8 Sugar=12,8 Sanitarium skim milk has the following (per 250 ml): Carbs=12,8 Sugar=5 My understanding is that any carb eventually gets broken down into...
