Good points, and yes, I meant livestrong.com.
Thanks!!

I'm brand new here, as well, and I just finished the famine yesterday. I don't know if there are any tricks the vets are using (I did use the lecithin), but I did notice some loss of concentration. For instance, I just started a really great self-improvement book, entitiled The Trophy Room , and I h...

Famine - Day 5 I woke up this morning weighing in at 238 lbs., which is the first time the scale's headed in the right direction all week. My rhr is down to 63 bpm, which I found odd, since it's supposed to go up (chalking this up to my unique circumstances). I also received my multistix today and d...

I add it in the log, but I mentally only pay attention to the caloric intake for the totals.

Do you think the gym machines' readings are a more accurate count or the site's info?

Oops, I think I added question #3 while you were responding. You're too quick!! As always, Thanks again!!

Famine - Day 4: I woke up today and forgot to test my hr. On the bright side, I am back down to 240 lbs, which isn't much, but it's better than going the other direction. As a guy trying to do a recomp, even if I am gaining some muscle, it's a little disheartening to watch the scale move up during a...

Quick question: I just found out about livestrong.com this week, per one of the posts on here (Sovabrat maybe?), and I started a new account. While I don't count the exercise calories into my daily caloric totals (is this correct?) as the site does, I do track them, nonetheless. The energy expenditu...

I've never done these, but that was kind of what I was thinking. I'll have to incorporate them in the feast. Thanks!!

Looks Great!! How often should these be done, and at what part of the workout is it performed? Thanks!!

Odd they're in caps but supremely beneficial during this time...

Sorry, Rob! Not caps - soft gels at 400mg's.

Famine - Day 3 I woke up this morning and was still a pound heavier than Day 1. WTF?? I must be gaining muscle, even though my caloric intake has been about 7x bw the entire week (no soda, no cheating, etc.). I feel a bit thinner, and I feel better, so I can't explain it. It's actually been a bit re...

Famine - Day 2 I woke up this morning and had gained a pound!! This was perplexing, as I only ate 7x my bw yesterday. I chalked it up to all of the water I'm adding (almost a gallon a day). I was a little hungrier this morning, and only running on 5 1/2 hours of sleep, but I held out for a while on ...

I haven't been serious about the gym for awhile now and am just getting back into it, via the BP (I'm only on day 2 of the famine phase). At any rate, I noticed that my lower back was much weaker than my legs on squats and hampered me from really pushing it. Here's my question to the community: Q. T...

Day one - famine I weighed in at 240.6 lbs this morning. I didn't eat until quite late in the day, so I had to scramble to get my calories in, even though they're only 8x my bodyweight. I'm mostly eating fruits, veges, homemade smoothies w/o protein powder, and some cheese/sauces to help add flavor....
