    Hi Everyone, I see some people read a lot, and give opinions. Is there any single guide that tells us our protein needs. I see many mixed messages: 1. Traditional bodybuilding meatheads always speak of more protein. In fact, even educated people like Will Brink speak about eating up to 2...

  4. When Do Hunger Pains and Weakness Go Away on 16/8 Intermittent Fasting?

    Thanks. I gave it one full week. I was so miserable and had reports to do. I started eating typically again. I guess just no structured diet works well for me. Just try to eliminate calories by watching food choices, using leaner meats, more steamed vegetables, etc.

  5. When Do Hunger Pains and Weakness Go Away on 16/8 Intermittent Fasting?

  6. 16/8 Plan from LeanGains; Any Opinion?

    Thank you very much. I agree with your analysis. It's been hard for me to find out something that works. Others have an "easy time" with keto, etc. Even my high school trainer, 20 years ago, looked at me with pity and said I was a "hard case" "hard (fat) loser". Then again, his teachings...

  7. Can Visualizations Help Training?

    Hi Everyone, 1. I was doing KB swings, listening to music. I did some visualization of me in the physique I want, pumping through reps. I hit a personal best. 2. In the past, I tried this with Barbell Weights and did not notice any progress. 3. Is there any science of weight-lifting...

  13. Does Anyone Get a Protein "Bloat" After More than ~40 grams?

    Hi Everyone, I always had a problem with bodybuilder diets. Many people eat more than 40 or 50 grams of protein in one sitting. Even though the hunger is blunted, there is still a physical craving for more food. I often eat some carbohydrates later. What is this topic called? Invalid Link...
