Senna tea. Drink it before bed.

Are you asking about cycles or diet/cardio?

My initial thought would be to lean toward carb cycling. I made the mistake of competing for 8 years straight, if not once then sometimes twice a year, trying to do Figure. My bodyweight NEVER exceeded 115lbs (competition @ 102lbs, 5'3"), until I took about a month to replenish my body with a...

I'm not sure of how severe your pain is, or how effective/supported this is, but a few of my clients take cherry extract for joint/arthritic pain. Not sure if it will work in your case though.

I just posted a question about this, but when I know my estrogen levels are going to be wack, I ask my dermatologist to prescribe me Aldactone. I agree to have your hormone levels tested first, but if you know what's up, then you could mention it to your derm and see what they say. I use it...

This may be a difficult question to get an answer to. I am a natural athlete, 25 year old female, and I am currently on the Nuvaring. However, I will be getting off of this birth control in a month, so to avoid breakouts, my dermatologist prescribed me 75mg/aldactone daily. I know this isn't a...

I tried that once. I was late to class and grabbed a half gallon to drink Postworkout. Then I thought I would drink one everyday. I gained a lot of bodyfat, and I felt miserable most of my summer. I've always had a hard time gaining weight, so it was easier for me to get kcals in by drinking...

"Which is why, to a certain degree, it doesn't matter what you do as long as the calorie burn is roughly similar Low intensity activity is sort of a direct fat burner, you burn mostly fat for fuel but that's all you get out of it. Higher intensity burns some proportion of fat/carbs but impacts...

#1. Thank you #2. that is another way to do it....there are several ways to calculate starting kcals....that's just what I use to start off, then microcalibrate from there (anywhere between 100-500kcals based on the length of my prep and my body's response. #3. This is based on anaerobic vs...

I know I may get jumped for this, but I will explain exactly how I set up my keto diet, which is what I used for the competition in my avatar. I multiply my current bodyweight by 12 or 13 (or the average of the difference) to set my baseline calories. Protein is figured at 0.9g/lb of Lean body...

A much needed forum. I'm glad to see this and you are the perfect person to run it, with your intelligence and experience. congratulations :)

it depends on what type of diet you are using, your goals, and the intensity of your activity. Higher intensity exercises require more CHO while lower intensity exercise use fat as the primary fuel, but protein should be sufficient no matter what type of diet to maintain nitrogen balance and...

Did the article specify what type of diet was used? On a CKD/Keto diet it is possible for the scale to falsely read 5-20lbs lighter due to glycogen stores being depleted, and in turn reducing the amount of water in the muscles. A larger person will seem to "lose" more weight since their...
