Internet $s require renewal. It's a use-it-or-lose-it thing. Lyle would need
to post in MFW at least once every six months to keep his Internet $
copyrights active on this newsgroup.

I miss Lyle's narcissism. Ok, not really.

Speaking of narcissism, I ordered a very nice new collar for Sheba. Check
'em out.

probably genetics also makes a contribution. I'd like to hear of
supplements which cause you to burn fat faster or lose muscle slower
when losing weight. What are they?

I read on a body buiding site that taking Glutamine reduces muscle loss
during Kcal deficits. I think the dose was 5g after waking up, 15 more
grams after workout, then 5 more grams before bed. Never tried it
myself, though.

Very nice. I'll have to remember that site for when Mocha is full grown.

I went to Petco the other day looking for a collar. I wanted one that had a
D ring for the name tag, license, etc., and one on the top for attaching a
leash. They don't sell one. From what I can see in this picture, these
have just that.

Dietary protein is probably number one!

Others may include:

Steroids
Clenbuterol
ECA stack

Just to name a few.

Lyle has suggested 75% as a ballpark figure before. He's also posted some links
to studies. Google is your friend. Based on my recollection, I'd punch in
things like Lyle, 75, LBM, lean body mass, essential (there was some good
discussion on essential vs non essential LBM)

Cheers,

I agree. And gender.

Ephedrine, caffeine, green tea extract, 7-keto DHEA, assloads of CLA...

Glutamine, BCAAs, assloads of protein...

I'll tell you why I'm asking. I really need to lose some weight to get
a job that I want. Well, as I've lost weight, I've been weighing using
one of those Tanita scales that checks your BF%. My BF% seems to be
staying about the same as I lose weight. Which means that I'm losing
more LBM than fat, which seems almost unbelievable. At this rate, I'm
not accomplishing much of anything really. I'd like to see my weight
and BF% BOTH come down (obviously).

If you are not losing bodyfat, while losing scale weight, I would take
a good look at what you are or arent eating. While exercise is an
important factor, your nutrition is more like 80% of the equation while
exercise is only 20%. If you arent feeding your body right, you wont be
seeing the results you want. Use an online program like FitDay to see
what/where you may be lacking and need to make adjustments.
