Is There a Diet to Lose Fat and Gain Muscle?
Question by Aesthetic: Is there a diet to lose fat and gain muscle?
Hello, I have a sort of a belly and I’m starting working out tomorrow. I have started a diet a week ago in which i mainly focus on boiled vegetables and chicken breast. I avoid any type of fast foods, soda drinks, rice, bread, sugar and salt. I know I must take carbs for energy (from brown rice for example…) how much carbs should i consume or should i consume at all? Should I buy supplements (proteins)?
Note: I am 6’2 tall and a mesomorph.

Answer by Skeptic
The diet that has worked for me is a Whole Food, Plant Based (WFPB) diet which is really a lifestyle change in your food choices. It avoids refined carbohydrates, oils, fats, sugars, excess salt, and food additives. It recommends vegetables, dark leafy greens, legumes (peas, beans, lentils), whole grains (brown rice, quinoa), and non-citrus fruits. I consume a tablespoon of ground flax seed for Omega-3 fatty acids but otherwise avoid all oils and fats for heart health (See Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr. for details).
Can Past or Present Addictive Gamblers Tell Me What It Feels Like to Have That Addiction?
Question by SHARI: Can past or present addictive gamblers tell me what it feels like to have that addiction?
I understand that alcohol and drugs cause cravings, but I just don’t understand why someone addicted to gambling, would steal from family and friends, knowing the pain it will cause and knowing that they will be caught. Is the addiction that bad that they would hurt their own family? Is it a physical/mental thing they feel??? I just need to understand, because I am going through this crap.
