Good!

Man, your diet looks so much better than it did before,that I hate to say anything, but, pb&J? Wow, so much sugar in there I do not know what to say. Read the ingredients. Sugar will be the second ingredient listed on the peanut butter, probably the third on the bread, and the second on the jelly. Gobs and gobs of sugar. You are sabotaging your goals.

Banana - about as much sugar as a can of Coca-Cola - seriously.

Other than that, HUGE improvement, and you are already seeing the results.

Im trying Malf lol this chicken is killing me tho

 

[malfeasance]

I use chicken for financial reasons. If you can afford it, substituting salmon or a lean red meat once in a while is such a great treat and works as well or maybe better . . .

Grilled or steamed salmon with lemon and brown rice with a spinach salad . . . I am getting hungry just thinking about it! I guess I better head to the microwave and heat up my chicken.

 

[MCx2]

Definitely the chicken! But if you can tolerate it, it pays off! Keep at it man, you're doing good.

 

[bigcruz]

I believe its to be expected. I'm suffering the same thoughts right now. I'm thinking if its all worth it, you know? What's your goal weight?

 

[bigcruz]

I would like to be a solid 185-190

I'm making great gains on my workout so I'm afraid if I continue to lose weight I'll lose strength no sure tho
