So, I've found an alternative for pop.

I've been buying the flavored water from walmart. It's 64 cents. No calories, sugars, fat. But, it has Aspartame - which I've heard isn't the best for my body.

Thoughts?

Concerns about aspartame are overblown. Have at it.

So, obviously no calories, sugars, fat --- this a great alternative to poop and juice?

I would think anything would be a great alternative to poop and juice.

Concerns about poop and juice are overblown. Have at it. :LOL:

LMAO it's apart of the new Shitkins diet.

My daily workouts are in the morning. Usually I'll start my (mostly cardio) workout about an hour after a small breakfast. Would I be better workout first, then eat breakfast? If I workout after a meal, how long should i wait before I start?

Between last night and this morning I downed a whole box of BTN Chocolate Chunk cookies, i feel great.

So a lot of the time, after doing an elliptical or treadmill for 30 minutes, my legs will feel tired! This even will last into the next day. If I do the treadmill sometime I will feel muscle soreness...This is fine and doesn't really bother me. But what if I wanted to do real leg exercises with weights? I guess it's not a problem? Or should I just wait a while until I am better adapted to the cardio training?

I switched to fasted training this past summer and love it. I sometimes don't even eat anything all day, train at 4 pm, then eat all my calories between 6-11 pm. If I have a morning workout I don't eat anything until after I am done.

Ditto. I feel really bloated and sluggish when I've eaten that day. When I'm in a fasted state, I feel lean, mean and (to go paleo with it)... hungry. Like, I'm training and my body is saying, "Hunt hunt hunt."

I had a horrifying thought earlier today. That I would be found dead on my living room floor after attempting to do more than 50 consecutive mountain climbers, and after thorough investigation, the forensics guy determined that before suffering cardiac arrest, I was "Tebowing".

It doesn't matter when you eat, really. If you want to wait and eat after your workout, that's fine. If you don't, as long as you're not having stomach cramps from eating and exercising too soon, you're good to go. As long as you are controlling total calorie intake, meal timing isn't important.

Fasted training kicks ass.

Physical therapy sucks. I am sooooo frustrated with this shit!
