Hi everyone!

I joined FS for the same reason most of you did! I have a few extra pounds that I am trying to get rid of. Currently following a strict meal plan I have given myself of 100g lean protein (Chicken or Tuna), 3/4 cup carb (brown rice of sweet potato) and 1 cup of green veggies (spinach, broccoli, or asparagus) 3 times daily with 2 protein shakes thrown in. I work out minimum 1-2 times daily, consisting or normally ~1 hour lifting weights at the gym and then either a run and an ab workout or a body weight workout at home. My motivation is and will always be bettering myself in order to be a better role model for my daughter and my family. As an added bonus I am getting married this June and I am SHREDDING FOR THE WEDDING!

See you all around!

People don't want to read it because they don't want to waste 3 hours of their life reading crazed, misinformed, conspiracy theories.

Well said notelaine

KETO MISTAKES: EAT MORE FAT to LOSE WEIGHT. The TRUTH about a KETOGENIC DIET for FAT LOSS
Okay so I also took chemistry in high school I just don't claim to be a master, and you posting overly long/pretending to be scientific articles on different forums does not quality you as a chemistry teacher. If you truly understood chemistry/biology/science in general you would realise how ridiculous your above statement sounds.
"So so many people continue to think we are different from plants and animals? Wrong. We have the same genetic ability like they do to make our own proteins and vitamins etc."
Plants and animals do not magically generate their proteins and vitamins. Plants absorb nutrients that they require through the water that they absorb through their roots. Animals eat plants or they eat other animals. Everything living has some form of "eating" that is required for it to survive healthily. Yes, we are different from plants and animals. We don't have roots to absorb our nutrients unlike plants. We are top of the food chain. We eat plants and animals to get the nutrients we need. Your science is flawed but you are to egotistical to understand that. I won't bother responding again because you aren't worth it but I asks you to stop posting you unproven theories on peoples threads and trying to lead them astray. This site is for people to help each other and I think just about anyone can see that you are not trying to help anyone. You are trying to make yourself sound smarter than everyone else probably due to a napoleon complex of sorts.

Have a nice day.

Resistance exercises in the home for a 50+ female
Phooka,

For some really good body weight workouts that are some of my favorites to do first thing in the morning or at night when I can't make it to the gym I use Neila Rey body weight workouts. She makes some awesome guides that target specific body parts and different ideal body types. There are some designed for males and some for females but most are good for anyone. My favorite part is that they all let you choose the level of intensity you want to do so you can avoid injury. If you google "Neila Rey body weight workouts" you will find hundreds of options! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Thefutureoffood,

If you want to do some real research read this article:
https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002467.htm

It explains the difference between Essential Amino Acids (ones that the body does not produce) and Nonessential Amino Acids (the ones the body produces naturally that you are talking about)

Thefutureoffood,

I will not argue with you about the fact that the body does create its own proteins as that is proven true. However, it does not produce an amount of protein necessary for optimal function. Protein is essential for everything you do. It builds DNA and RNA, aids in repairing muscle tissue, organs, skin, nails, bones, and regulating hormones. None of these sound toxic to me.

Yes a human could survive without ingested proteins, however just because you are surviving does not mean you are healthy. Being healthy is having a balance of everything your body requires and allowing your body to maximize its growth and production. What Patty is saying about following your macros is one of the best things I have seen on this site today.

If you look at any fitness "God" and realize that they are the epitome of fitness and health and you look at their diets you will realise that all of them contain proteins.

Ingested proteins are 100% required to be the best version of yourself possible.
