With Lent I am really trying to dial in my diet and exercise. I could use a little feedback from those of you versed in LeanGains and/or IF. Bearing in mind I am cutting as I have fat to lose, here's...

I follow a LG approach and train fasted every day due to schedule. I workout anytime between 5 and 6 in the morning (weights MWF, SS cardio TRS), and break my fast anytime after 12 noon, however it's...

Starts today (after way to many drinks last night) with a 24 hour fast. Good luck to all!

All starts this Wednesday. I know it's the wrong mindset to have, but the Mrs. and I will be drinking more than usual tonight and tomorrow!

As a practicing Catholic Lent is kind of a big deal so every year my wife and I embark on a Lenten Whole 30 (which usually ends up as a Whole46 or even a Whole50). Anyone else interested?

Smart Wool socks are actually a great gift for a runner. Otherwise an Endurance Bag is what I always recommend.

Hi,

My wife has recently changed her schedule around and is able to go to the gym in the mornings a few days out of the week. That means she also showers and preps at the gym as well, lugging all...

To answer the original question - not unless you are worried about each meal being too awesome.

Pull out your big girl panties and toughen up.

Assuming the sardines for the fish oil/Omega 3s?

I'm doing LeanGains, but with a caloric deficit on all days. I add rice/fruit in on workout days and keep cals to 1900 - 2200, fat and protein exclusively on rest days to ~1500 cals. Still...

I squat three days a week per StrongLifts 5x5. Up to 235 which is good since I pretty much started with the freakin' bar.

IF isn't a switch. You'll be fine as long as we are talking about a reasonable amount of cream (i.e. you aren't drinking 16 ounces of cream every morning).

I started strong lifts 5x5 today. I have been lifting for the past few months, but wanted to change things up and also simplify my routine. Today was Squat, Bench Press, and Barbell Row. The amount...

I think you mean Conventional Wisdom?

It seems like a lot of time spent in the gym. Wouldn't focusing on compound lifts/body movements be more efficient? I've been seeing strength gains with chins, military presses, squats, and pushups...

Oh, I love this argument. How's the European debt crisis going? Still able to pay for your welfare state or is the populace too busy protesting that they only get a month of vacation?

Nope, not unless your idea of 'the right direction' is away from personal choice, accountability, the free market, and individual liberty.

I've been doing LeanGains and eat a lot of plain non-fat greek yogurt on my 'low-fat, high protein' days. One of the kneejerk responses to low/non-fat dairy is that it's a processed food, however the...

Just recalc'd macros using rippedbody.jp guidlines. Came to Workout Day of 212 p, 30g f, and 400 c for a total calorie intake of 2310. Rest Day of 22 p, 80-100 f, 10-30 c for a target of 1540. That...

My goal is fat loss, Daemonized. That's why I have both calorie targets lower than TDEE. But I think you hae hit the nail on the head...I need to get some weights in my hands!

Allright - time for some evaluation. I've been doing LeanGains since July 16th which makes this my 44th day. I am not really seeing the results I would have expected after a month and a half. I'm not...

I almost don't know where to begin with this BS.

Here was my first meal of the day today (eaten starting @ 12, just now finished!). I'm still trying to wrap my head around the amount of food/carbs/protein that should be eaten, so please any...

Chicken breast. That's not to say that I intend to only eat chicken breast on workout days (since a dry chicken breast isn't all that appealing), that just happened to be what had been prepared and...
