    Natural supplements to reduce blood pressure

    There is evidence that Hibiscus tea can reduce blood pressure as well as many prescription medicines. Easy to make, cheap, and it tastes good (it's tart so adding some stevia is always nice, or mix it with something else).

    Beta Alanine is toxic?

    Rat LD50 was 1000mg/kg. You'd have to choke down 75-100g of the stuff at once to reach that (15-25x the normal dose).

    2 day hangover?

    I would definitely attribute it to not drinking for the month prior. The more you drink, the more your body adapts to being able to tolerate the alcohol (upregulates certain enzymes and processes within the liver and endocrine system), and once you take away the stimulus for that process, it...

    App that tracks how healthy my meals are?

    I think you might be over thinking it. In general, if it grows in the ground, swims in the sea, flies in the air, or roams the earth, and you can eat it as is (plus cooking, obviously) then it's better than anything that doesn't fit those criteria. More ingredients = less good (again, in...

    Give me your thoughts on my exercise plan

    If you're afraid of lifting, the trick is to start super light. If you never squat or deadlift you'll never increase your strength or muscle mass in those areas, which will help *protect* you from further hernias. 2 years is plenty of time to recover from the surgery, just start out super light...

    Quick snack high in protein?

    As tasty as bacon is, it's mostly fat. Not the greatest protein source. Not a slam on bacon, that's just how it is. Lately I've been doing a whey shake with 50g protein, 5g fiber, and 10g creatine every morning, then eat some kind of breakfast (I make a big egg scramble on the weekend and...

    Give me your thoughts on my exercise plan

    For maximum fat loss/muscle gain (or at least muscle sparing) I would not recommend a body-part split type of routine. They take too long, and focus on small muscles. The focus should be on large, compound movements (squat, deadlift, bench, barbell rows, Olympic lift variants such as power clean...

    All that effort gone. Back to square 0

    Cardio isn't a waste of time, it's just not the best way (in and of itself) to lose fat. Especially the way most people do it (i.e. steady-state for long periods of time). Intervals/sprints have been shown to help improve muscle mass gains (or prevent loss) and speed up fat burning when compared...

    Really? 2 months no difference...

    I wouldn't be surprised if it is at least partly hormonal to some degree. Alcohol consumption, in particular, has been shown to reduce testosterone levels, and things like thyroid hormones, cortisol levels (stress hormone), leptin, and sex hormones are extremely important when trying to reduce...

    Any factual info on when your body goes into starvation mode?

    You probably won't die, but you'll lose more lean mass than you'd probably prefer, especially doing high intensity cardio as your main means of exercise (without heavy weight training to help preserve muscle). I would say at least 1800 a day, but also listen to your body. If you're recovering...

    can I build biceps with just a pull up bar?

    Weighted chins will get you sick guns. Do them like you would do squats or deadlifts: heavy. I would probably shoot for 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps, based on your current stats. If you hit the full 12 reps on each set, increase the weight next time. Pretty simple and effective progression, IMO.

    meals a day, calories and metabolism

    Actually, there are some cases where a ketogenic diet *is* ideal for health, as in certain types of cancers (since cancer cells predominantly use glucose). But yeah, a ketogenic diet isn't ideal for most people, especially anyone who's active. Obese, sedentary people, on the other hand...

    what are your thoughts on wave loading?

    If your press is only at 90 pounds, you don't need to stray at all from a basic 3x5 or 5x5 template. Maybe once you're pressing 220+ will you need to tweak your loading parameters, but now is not that time. Right now you just need volume.

    Weight loss and my gallbladder

    I wasn't suggesting that he switch to a high-fat diet. I merely suggested that if he was currently eating a low fat (and thus high-carb) diet that may have been one of the precipitating factors. Hence the "reduce processed carbs and gradually increase fat intake." The point I was trying to make...

    What are some easy to make healthy foods?

    Weight loss and my gallbladder

    I would recommend against having your gallbladder removed if at all possible. It's there for a reason, and people who don't have one have problems later. I'm thinking the reason they've occurred now is that you're eating much *lower* fat, which means the bile salts stored in the gallbladder are...

    What's the worst that'll happen to me if I eat ceviche and shrimp cocktail constantly

    Ew, keep ketchup out of ceviche. That's nasty. I would also suggest red onion instead of white, along with some fresh roma tomatoes (diced small), just for tastiness and ditch the salt water (just use lime/lemon juice) to reduce sodium. When I make mine I just toss a pinch or two of salt and...

    What are some easy to make healthy foods?

    Wheat in general is not good (gluten, lectins, etc.) plus the fact that it's a huge bolus of carbs (spike insulin, prevent lipolysis aka fat loss) and absolutely no nutrients (unless enriched, but come on that's still fake food). Oats aren't as bad (no gluten), but still pretty nutritionally...

    Stomach and Diarrhea Question

    First thing I would do is cut out any foods that are highest risk to cause these kinds of problems (including chronic inflammation): Grains (wheat, corn, oats, millet, bulgur, rice, etc.) - Gluten and other grain proteins can wreak havoc on the GI tract. This is number one, very important...

    Handstand pushups

    Just another data point, I weigh 215, strict shoulder press 197, and can do about 7-8 strict handstand push-ups as a max effort (no parallettes, just hands on the floor, head touching the floor on bottom to elbows locked at top). Lighter people tend to be able to do higher reps even at the same...

    Wear some compression shorts underneath if you don't want people to be able to tell what religion you are by the outline of your phallus. But yeah that sounds kind of tight. My singlet is form fitting but not uncomfortable at all. It's actually quite nice, I would lift in it all the time if it...

    Couple questions about low-carb

    The body can't effectively use protein amounts higher than around 40% of calories for any extended length of time without causing some potentially serious problems (google "Rabbit Starvation", Robb Wolf also did a good analysis on one of his recent podcasts). If you're on a low-carb diet then...

    Best free weight exercises? (Feedback on my routine?)

    You can do squats and deadlifts. Start with the bar. If it's too heavy, start with simply mimicking the movements (after watching some videos on good form) with a dowel. If you seriously can't squat an empty barbell then yeah, hit the leg press machine, do 3x10 and make it tough. And then do...

    Improving grip strength and tips on increasing standing overhead press.

    Oh, and for the grip work: lots of chin-ups/pull-ups, farmer walks (heavy!) with DBs, KBs, or pinching a weight-plate, doing your lighter sets of deadlifts using a double-overhand grip (only switching to alternating when you absolutely must).

    Max lifts ... does this make sense?

    Are you doing a standard linear progression (e.g. 3x5 or 5x5, increasing weight each workout)? If so, just keep doing it until you stall, then reset and continue again. If not, you need to be. You mentioned Rippetoe so I'm assuming you're doing SS, so just keep doing that. Eventually your bench...

    Guy at work has dropped 150+ pounds...

    Not sure where you got this from, but I know that Robb Wolf in his Paleo Solution books doesn't put any limit on number of eggs consumed, and Loren Cordain has amended some of his earlier statements on limiting dietary fat/cholesterol. Eat the eggs, they're fine (unless you have an allergy or...

    Improving grip strength and tips on increasing standing overhead press.

    I did a cycle of heavy push presses which helped me improve my overhead press numbers pretty well. 5x165@200# is pretty good, so you may need some more specific training (periodized) to continue increasing there (especially on a weight-loss phase). Justin over at 70sbig.com has a couple of...

    Traps: how to train them

    There is really no substitue for heavy dumbbell/barbell work. That's why all serious strength trainees use them. They deliver the most bang for the buck. Doing heavy compound movements in the 5-8 rep range will be more beneficial to fat loss than high-rep band work.

    Snatch form check (vid)

    I'd agree with SC. Work on not donkey kicking; it doesn't add anything to the lift and tends to reduce power applied to the bar. Also, it's hard to tell, but it looks like a little bit of early arm bend (when the shoulders are in front or just above the bar at the beginning of the second pull)...

    To those that deadlift: at what weight did you switch to an alternating grip?

    If you have carpal tunnel issues, get some straps. It's not worth it to make a bad condition worse.

    Fat loss - how to lose the bulge and gain the ripples

    One of the first things I ever gave up when I started my own fitness journey was cereal, followed by soda and all fruit juices. Trust me, that stuff is not conducive to health. It's barely even food! Try to eat stuff that comes in it's natural state: meat, veggies, fruits. Look into the Paleo...

    1) Learn to cook. Pack a lunch (maybe even 2) each day so you don't have to worry so much about getting hungry. 2) Kill your TV. 3) Start simple. Go for a half-hour walk in the morning or evening. Trying to change a ton of stuff at once is a recipe for failure. 4) Go to bed earlier so you feel...

    Stumpy trying to be less Stumpy this year! Goal: 30lbs off

    Sigh. Don't eat crap like soy. Fake meat != meat. Eat meat and veggies, nuts and seeds, and fruit. If you're doing intense exercise eat some clean carbs (oats, sweet potatoes, white rice, potatoes). If not, just stick with veggies and some fruit. It's really simple, just not easy.
