For losing weight?
If you're in a caloric deficit and training regularly then you can lose weight just from lifting, I've been doing it this year. Of course, but I wouldnt say that they were the shiz, surely he would be better off using his time doing cardio if he wants to lose weight? |

Popcorn is absolutely fine. It's the crap they add to it that makes the overall product at the cinema totally shit.

popcorn and carbs
I too should have been more specific - half a bag of pret a manger pop corn is 9g of carb and therefore a great snack vs most other options available when you fancy a treat

Of course, but I wouldnt say that they were the shiz, surely he would be better off using his time doing cardio if he wants to lose weight? Sorry I misunderstood what you meant Stu. Yeah if you want to shift it quick then some cardio after weights is great. The training forum I post on has as most forums do a huge amount of nonsense posted from people who know everything about nothing. There are however a couple guys who really know their shit so whenever they post it's worth looking at. This was a post he made in reference to someone looking to lose weight but try to maintain their muscle When fat loss is the goal resistance training should be hard and heavy to give your body the stimulus to hang onto your muscle whilst in a calorie deficit. 3-4 session per week max IMO covering all the big muscle groups. You should use diet and cardio to actually fuel you fat loss, a bit of HIIT / circuit style training is good, but I wouldn't base my whole routine around it. |

You can keep your gash. It's still half of the bag's total weight. There must be lower carb snacks out there % wise. |

Matt, how many grams of protein are you consuming daily at present?
I'm not sure mate. I'm not being too strict so I don't know exactly and it changes every day. A 225g chicken/turkey/lean steak meal is approximately 40g Protein shake is 45g An extra large egg is about 7g (approx half each for yolk and white) so breakfast is about 30g Flapjack is about 20g Banana is hardly any, about 1g probably. So I guess you're looking at around 160 - 200g per day. When I get properly in to it I'll be aiming for about 1.5g per lb of bodyweight which is about 330g. The extra 130g will come from more protein shakes and bars + eggs for supper. Can't wait  330 a day fkn hell TBH I struggle to get 200 every single day when training, and wouldn't without shakes. Glad i'm about to start running again after a couple weeks off it, don't have to worry too much about protein!! I made a mistake on this protein calculation. The 225g chicken/turkey/lean steak meals are more like 75g not 40g. I worked it out based on 100g of chicken not 225g. That makes 230 - 270g at the moment which I'm really happy with. Once I get my waist down to 34 or 35" I'll start to up the protein and get properly on it. Might even throw in a few fat burners to get things moving. |

Insert appropriate predictable question here
No Dan I'm not aware of any scientific study that says these fat burners actually work. |

Does the placebo effect work for losing weight?
If it does I'm going to be so rich when I market my weight loss chocolate.
