I'm on a gluten free (celiac), dairy free (lactose intolerant), low sugar (hypoglycemic) vegetarian (compassionate reasons) diet, and I hit the gym 2-3 times per week for an hour of weights and 30 minutes of cardio (cross trainer). I have lost over 40 pounds, gone from a 37" waist to a 32" waist, from L to S underwear, and from XL to M shirt. Outside of becoming vegetarian by choice, I was forced onto the rest of my diet for the reasons mentioned in brackets above. I'm completely perscription and allergy pill free now (have been for years) and have tons of energy. Exercise helps me relieve stress, and keeps my blood sugar stable.
Diet and Exercise..

Gomad is kind of senseless... Whey protein gives you all the protein and more without the excessive amount of fat/carbs/sugars... Never mind the bloat and probably constipation. Honestly, I can't fathom why anyone would do this.
Just saw where you can get Hemp protein at onnit.com. Joe Rogan (who is a beast) uses a lot of the stuff on that site.

What happens if you be just naturally gifted? 
I agree with milk though, natures goodness in a gulp. Sleep well, eat regularly and look at life in a positive way. Simple really. Yet some try to complicate it.
Never ever allow life's negatives to gain the upper hand. You live, you breathe, you have a choice, that is the biggest positive one could have.

Can LPSG hook a hose up to your gorgeous bum to help keep the lights on?

I drink coconut or flax milk. I'm afraid my bum can't help.
That sounds like a weird idea. What's supposed to be the point of that?

So....No, can't help you.

Protein... Muscle gain... Just less efficient and potentially unpleasant than I'd ever go for.
It means a lot hearing that because I don't share my journey details on fb with my friends xx

May I ask why you don't?
I've been amazed/humbled/truly moved by how many people have made positive changes as a result of hearing/reading/seeing my journey and results. It's amazing how big a difference you can make for people just by letting them see that it's possible.
Just curious what makes you choose to keep it quiet.
Congrats to you, by the way

I tend to keep it light on social media most of the time. Occasionally I check in where I work out or share something on health or fitness or a pic of something I made. Friends see pics of me and the changes are obvious but I am more shy now than when I was heavier
I used to share often when I started making changes but I stopped because I had some bad friends. There was one who told me not to lose too much weight, I think she liked that I was a lot heavier than her. There were times guys would flirt with me and she thought it was for her, stepped away from friends like that
There are better friends who are totally understanding of my goals and we talk about it offline. Some say they want to come to class with me or do something but still waiting for that to happen lol. I'm taking a break from going out to parties and they are supportive- I can stay out late without drinking but I want to have a consistent sleep cycle
Thank you!

Ahhh understood. I got a lot of the "don't lose too much" as well. I was just telling socalfreak yesterday that I got that and "oh this gym thing is just a phase... It won't last. You can't do this forever!". Mhmmm... About that...
Fuckem. People like that girl are just dead weight like the pounds of fat you decided to let go of
Good for you

There are those who've been working in the strength and conditioning industry for decades who say that GOMAD is the best way to put on muscle. (Mark Rippetoe)
If you're trying to get big, like weightlifter big, it's the best natural way to load protein, fat, calories, etc. (70s Big)
Bottom line is--if you're going to get big and strong you need huge amounts of energy to do it. GOMAD gives you that. It's definitely NOT a weight loss, cutting diet. It's a big strength power diet.
But, around here, a gallon of (organic) milk is over $6. $6 x 7 = $42 a week, or $168/month....
I eat about 2100 calories. I use myfitnesspal.com to track calories. Always eat a salad for lunch. It's a 600 calorie salad with a full fat dressing, cheese, meat and loaded with different vegetables.
Go to gym 5 or 6 times a week for an hour -- exercise cardio 400 to 500 calories daily (Run 30 minutes or bile/elliptical 45)
Maintenance Sit ups (100) push ups (60) core exercises for back daily.
Plenty of water.
I do free weights and weights machine work haphazardly.
I have high energy.
I feel for people who are victims of lethargy. Stamina and energy come from exercise.
The choice of exercise matters little. Too many think they can't exercise effectively due to some limitations.
Can't run? Walk or use a training machine easier on joints.
Legs really messed up? Swim or use a hand "bike".
People with arthritis, myalgias and other degenerative conditions may need a physical therapist/specialized trainer to figure out what they can safely do. And obviously a very few folks truly cannot exercise at all due to condition.
My 88 year old aunt does laps around the kitchen table, using it for support as she shuffles. And she does modified tai chi holding 2 pound weights to keep her joints loose.
Most people can exercise.
