*New Female Member Desperately Needing Diet Help*

[Ms.Magoo]

Are you taking any fish oil caps MsM?

helps especially with keeping your skin nice while going thru this....

-Slimmer: To be honest I am just now learning how important supplements are to my diet. I bought some liquid fish oil and I usually try to add some to my protein shakes but decided to order some fish oil caps online, figured they would be easier to take. I also ordered BCAA's (purple wraath), caffeine pills, and some green tea extract because it seems that those are all important as well. I ordered them online but have yet to receive them....

If you can think of any others that would be beneficial let me know. Oh and about my skin, will my diet and exercise affect my skin??? I have pretty bad skin anyways so if there's anything besides fish oil that I can take to help it let me know please... I can use all the help that I can get!!! Thank you Slimmer!!!

*Missed my fasted cardio today...Sundays are my only days to sleep in and I woke up starving!!!*

Meal1: shake 1/2whey 1/2casein and 1/4cup oats

Looks like today is Legs & Calves (I need to remember to add Leg Press!)

*I will add the rest of my meals and exercises later today. I was just informed that it's my Uncle's Bday and that I need to bring the cake.... Wish me luck with my willpower. Maybe I'll just get something I dislike, that way I am not tempted hehe.*

can't really think of much else. The fish oil caps help since when on such a high protein/low carb food we need the fish oil to keep our skin young more than anything else. We need that specific fat.

You are doing great.

[Ms.Magoo]

-Slimmer: Okay perfect, thank you that totally makes sense

Good job Ms.Magoo.

You might consider putting a day or two between your chest night and your shoulder night to allow your shoulders to fully recover from the workout they get during chest exercises.

I think that I may switch up my w/o routine a bit anyways to keep my muscles guessing so I will certainly make note of this when I create a new plan. Thanks!!!

You bet. It made a difference in mine, I got that advice from here a few months ago. Helped my shoulder nights and its showing in strength differences.

[SlimmerMe]

Hope all is well.......where are ya?

[SexySweetheart]

MrsM + the foum = good stuff!

...she must be too busy at the gym to bother with us lol ~ rock it out chicka!

[BBrian]

Hey Ms. Magoo. I love your avatar, but all artistic references to the mid-twentieth century are a favorite of mine. At any rate, I still think that you are putting far too much faith into protein shakes. Our bodies respond so much better to real food than to chemically altered versions of protein, it's a simple matter of biological evolution. I think that you should search out foods that contain essential amino acids and are still low in carbs and fats instead of turning to shakes that, in all honesty, don't always contain what their label states. With real food, we not only know what we're really getting, but chances are that they are going to be absorbed by the upper intestine with far more effectiveness. That isn't to say that the shakes don't have their place - I just don't think that they should be utilized in the amounts that you currently are. On another note, when it comes to muffins, they definitely have a healthy place in our diet, along with any other breads. You just need to ensure that you only buy breads that are 100% whole wheat or 100% whole grain. Do this, and you have a great source of complex carbohydrates and whole grains.
