jp0212 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 My wife could sure use some help. She is not a hunter, but we still get along. Do you have any experience with type 2 diabetes? She does pretty good with diet, but could be better. A meal plan would really help I think. If we can get good results and good consultation, we would be willing to pay. Thanks in advance! I'll be happy to help! I can help with Type 2 diabetes, but the only caveat is that you MUST consult with your doctor before starting. Shoot me a pm and we will get her rollin!

runningbird Report post Posted July 3, 2015 I'll be sending you a pm later this weekend. I'm looking for help on my diet/nutrition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jp0212 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 Anyone have any questions yet? Also, does anyone want any of the recipes for the meals I eat on the spreadsheet? I can honestly say I enjoy pretty much all of the meals on there except the breakfast meals. The "Moco Loco" breakfast is great but the yogurt and egg stuff gets old. As for everything else thought it is really good. That's a lot coming from me. I can honestly say I'm a bit of a food snob haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmericanThunder Report post Posted July 28, 2015 Do you have any plans that could help someone with a long list of food allergies and aversions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bgshooter Report post Posted July 28, 2015 I've been using the MyFitnessPal app on my iPhone to keep track of my calorie intake. It's got me set at 2020 calories a day (had to enter my current weight and how much I want to lose per week...currently have it set to 1 lb a week). Also, as I walk around throughout the day, it keeps track of my steps and adds a few calories that I can intake depending on how much walking I do. Anyways, how does your spreadsheet differ? Awesome of you to offer this help btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted July 28, 2015 ^ forget using the MFP calculations, theyre so whack. also never ever eat back calories from exercise. do you even lift jp0212? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bgshooter Report post Posted July 28, 2015 It's better than not using anything. I've lost quite a bit of weight using it because if I don't use it, I go way over. It may not be perfect but something is better than nothing...unless I find something else better. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted July 28, 2015 oh yeah, if its getting you to your goals. I use MFP too, all the time. but I don't use its calculator to figure my macros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jp0212 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Do you have any plans that could help someone with a long list of food allergies and aversions? The plan I send to everyone is such that you enter all of your info into one page, then it spits out your daily intake requirements. On the next page it is set up for you to plan out your week of meals that meet the daily requirements. I could send all the recipes and you could use what I have set up, or alter it to fit whatever food allergies you might have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jp0212 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 ^ forget using the MFP calculations, theyre so whack. also never ever eat back calories from exercise. do you even lift jp0212? Absolutely. Lifting weights is essential to a good plan. It creates muscular balance to stabilize your joints, and increases your metabolic efficiency. I was pretty jacked last year, but blew my ACL out for a second time and had surgery back in February. Just got cleared to start lifting 6 weeks ago so I am back at it now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome of you to offer this help btw. That may or may not be accurate. Tough to say really, but overall I agree with trphyhntr. Those are generally not very accurate. It should never take into account how much weight you "want to lose per week". You should calculate out your basal metabolic rate, adjust for activity, then add 500 for lean weight gain and subtract 500 for efficient fat loss. Efficient fat loss is a maximum of 2lbs/week. Any more than that and you likely start to eat into muscle. Only exception is morbidly obese people. Also, as said earlier, you never want to eat increased quantities based solely on exercise. Instead, you should be accounting for exercise in your overall diet and adjust your intake. I can try to explain, but the physiology can pretty complicated and boring. You will see maximum results by planning your days out ahead of time and properly balancing all of your meals and macros. A small part of the process is confusing your body by making it believe there is an abundance of food while it is actually at a deficit. If you want I would be happy to send you my spreadsheet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
