Re: Shovelgloving for a road warrior

"convict conditioning" is a great bodyweight program. It's designed to be done in a prison cell, so it will for sure work in a hotel room.

Re: Am I A Failure If I Can Only Follow Two No S Diet Principles?

Let me suggest that you adapt the "no seconds" rule as follows: Wait 15 minutes before you have seconds. I've found that pretty helpful. Generally, hunger passes. It sounds like what you are experiencing is anxiety about being hungry. If you can wait, the hunger will pass, but give yourself permissi...

This is an easy question : that's not a snack, that's a meal. Remember, that there is no rule about how many meals you can eat. I eat four, but one of them is an egg, another is frequently a protein shake. The thing that makes it a "snack" is that it's unplanned, not the size.
