I can't afford 2 pairs of shoes.. so if I have to choose only one pair is it better to get crosstrainers or running shoes?

I can do any form of cardio.. you name it I can do it (kickboxing, step, hi-lo, elliptical, bike..etc), but running... 5 min and I'm done!.  Why is that? Also.. another question reguarding shoes. I just ordered new shoes.. crosstrainers (because usually I do aerobics or elliptical).  Is it OK...

Thank yo :) So 12-20% of protein is OK even if you workout? I think that would work soooo much better for me. Usually, unless I really count, my diet is pretty low in protein (maybe 50g if that), but I read so many times that we need protein in order to gain or even keep muscle. Then I also...

Thanks for replying :) So basicly it's abotu calories and avoiding processed things? Doesn't matter how much protein/carbs/fats I'm consuming? When you say "balanced," what do you mean by that? Do I have to have protein in every meal? Or would something like a bowl of soup and whole grain...

There's so many different diet plans out there, which makes me think.. since ALL of them work, is it basicly just calories in vs calories out? I mean some say you have to eat proetin at every meal, others say vegetarian is better, some say to avoid dairy, others say dairy helps with weight...

I hear so many different things on this. Some say 1g of protein per pound of body weight, some say 1g per kg of body weight...????

Is there a healthy cereal that doesn't have oats in it? I have allergies to oats and I need something different. Currently I eat Nature's Path Multigrain Flaxseed Plus cereal. Thank you, Katia

I work as a receptionist in a medical office part time 5PM to 10PM so I dont really get a break, but I can eat any time I want at my desk. However since my desk is in the patient's waiting area it has to be somethng that's not too messy or smelly. Any suggestions? Thanks :) Katia

Thanks everyone. :) This helps A LOT! After reading all this I came to the realisation that there's no point of me torturing myself and following the diets that fitness models follow, because I am NOT a fitness model and am not looking for a sixpack. All I want to is to achieve a healthy body...

I'm a bit confused as to how clean we have to eat to lose body fat. Some say that whole grain bread and whole grain cereal are fine, others say to avoid them because they are processed. Some say that as long as you burn more calories then you take in you'll lose fat. Others say that you must...

I buy mostly organic food. Especially meat(although I eat it rarely) because I don't want the hormones that they feed those animal going into my body. Also organic food (epsecially fruit and veggies) taste a lot better in my opinion.

Oh gush, I know all about this x( I've been struggling with digesting issues for the past 3 years, and regular gastroantologists were just not helpful at all. Now I'm seeing a naturapath who has helped A LOT. Here are some things that have helped me that you might want to look into...

Jen.. I'm the same way. I never really liked meat, eggs, or anything dairy. The only meat I can tollerate is chicken. So although I was never vegan on purpose, it kind of turned out that way (except for the occasional times I forced myself to eat meat to get some protein in). Then the high...

Mogambo.. thank you that website is great :) Kathryn... do you mind giving a sample of what your daily diet is like? I'm mostly doing this for health reasons so whole foods is my # 1 priority. Thank you :)

Why did you choose to become vegan? Have you seen any health benifits? If so, whicih? Thanks :)

I was wondering how accurate that test is. Thank you

I can never stay balanced during lunges (even static lunges). Any advice? Thank you, Katia

I haven't had TOM (that time of the month) in a while. Dr gave me some hormone pills to get everythiing under control. So now I have my first TOM in 4 months, and after yesterday's PUB workout I'm soooo sore that I couldn't sleep all night (sitting up is the only way I feel OK). I thought it...

I want to start running, but don't know where it would be best to fit it into my rotation since I can't run for more then 3 to 5 min at a time lol. I really want to keep my 1 hr cardios in my rotation since my goal is fat loss. Would it be OK to run instead of C&W? Here's my rotation: 1 hr...

Here's what my rotation looks like: Cardio PUB Cardio C&W Cardio PLB Rest For cardio I do pretty much whatever video I feel like doing (SB, KPC, RS, SJP cardio only..etc) In your case, for cardio, you can just use one of the cardios from CTX or Timesavers. Katia
