Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
fun fact, not measuring the amount of oil you use in cooking and just going by guess doesn't work too well when you finally measure 1tbsp and see it's about 1/8th what you have been using twice a day, fml.

Yeah this is the biggest mistake people make when trying to eat better/healthier. It's incredibly hard to "guesstimate" your food portions unless you've been accurately measuring them for a while. Half the people who post stuff on forums like "I'm eating cleanly but not losing weight" aren't actually measuring their food using teaspoons/cups/scales and eating way more calories than they think.

I eat a lot of buffalo wraps and grilled chicken w mozz & red peppers type stuff, and I always use these wraps. They're pretty decent, but the main thing is the fiber. It's 27g per wrap, and the calories are whatever because the wraps are pretty fucking huge, so I usually put in about 6-8 oz of chicken with some lettuce and tomato and homemade buffalo sauce (I just use Frank's Buffalo + half a tablespoon of Marie's Bleu Cheese) or some fresh mozz, roasted red peppers, arugula, and balsamic vinaigrette (also homemade, careful with that oil SON).

Is that where you eat a Paleo type diet, except for the fact that you eat grains, oatmeal, peanuts and pretty much all the foods that make it Paleo, in other words, you basically just eat The Food Diet?

On a show dealing with obesity, they had a segment about how people grossly overestimate serving sizes. They had a group of people who should have been losing weight based on their food diaries. But when the researchers actually saw what they were eating, they saw the logs were totally inaccurate. A man recorded one serving of pasta when it was a whole package of pasta and jar of sauce. A woman recorded one serving of rice when it was a full plate of Chinese fried rice.
For most people, especially the overweight, it is critical to measure instead of guesstimate.

I've actually had great success so far this year with losing weight and toning up. My dad always used to say that if you want to save money write down everything you spend, and when you actually see on paper all the stupid shit you spend money on it will stop you wasting money.
So I figured I'd try the same technique with food. So every meal I put down in an excel document, and try to keep the daily calories to about 1800 and since mid december last year I've lost about 15 pounds of blubber, and look and feel much healthier for it.

Insanity? I don't know a ton about it, but I believe it's the next "step", so to speak, after P90X.
Or you could try that Diamond Dallas Page Yoga that is so popular in screenshots at the moment. Apparently it can make cripples walk again.

You can do all the fad diets you want, but at the end of the day it's simply a matter of burning more calories than you eat. Nothing else matters. Last time I seriously tried to lose weight, I used the My Fitness Pal app on an iPad. It's free. I think there's a web version and a PC version and stuff, too. It takes some discipline, but if you want to cut out all the BS and just measure calories in and out, this is the easiest way I've discovered. You set your weight loss goal and date. It tells you what your daily calorie deficit needs to be. It lets you put in all your food relatively easily. You can even scan food barcodes with the camera if you want to get crazy with the ipad/iphone version. Then you enter any exercise you do. So you can see clearly that you're NEVER going to run far enough to offset that entire plate of cookies, fatty. Worked pretty well for me last summer.

I mixed Insanity in to my workouts a few years ago or so - its similar to P90X but more cardiovascular stuff. I have fucked up knee's as well, and while its easier on the knee's - its still a killer. Honestly, I would say integrate some light weightlifting into your routine a long with 25-45 minutes of cardio every day. My old house had a pretty big pool, and swimming was honestly the best cardio I've found for my knee's, but don't have access to one anymore and it kind of sucks!
