A person’s diet, especially breakfast, should include “no gluten, no sugar and as little dairy as possible; breakfast is the meal people find the hardest,” Dr. Lipman said. “Part of the problem is that gluten is super addictive. You’re basically a drug addict, and [when you take gluten out of your diet] there’s going to be withdrawal.”

High protein breakfasts to keep you full; High wholefood diets = WIN.

I want slimmer calves…suggestions?

universityweightloss:

I guess my calves are muscular, but I know they can be slimmer and I definitely want them to be! I know you can’t really spot reduce when it comes to working out, but are there any tips for certain exercises or will I just have to become a complete cardio junkie and hope for the best? Haha

You can’t localize fat loss, but…

Disuse leads to muscle atrophy (up to 7% muscle loss per day prone in bed for instance).

Botox injections directly into calf muscles will cause mild paralysis of the muscles leading to muscle atrophy.

Conversely, increased lean muscle mass in any area will increase fat burning in that area. Stair master, running, swimming (kicking) will build lean muscle.
