Alex, to make things a little easier on yourself when dieting and training hard, allow yourself 1 cheat meal a week. Make it your last meal of the day, if you can, if not lunch, that way it doesnt turn into a cheat day full of crap. If you feel like a burger, or pizza, or ice cream on that...

Maybe try some taurine supplements to help with the cramping. Also increased potassium levels may help too. I suggest he goes to see a PT or dietician regarding his diet, maybe that is what is causing the cramps? Come to think about it, read up on Beta-Alanine. Its a supplement that helps...

In all honesty, Hormone Replacement Therapy would be a godsend to your husband, and would help him keep / gain some muscle, burn the fat, and get his energy and mood levels back up. Speak to your local GP about it if you are interested. Personally i have spoken to many men from mid 30s to 60s...

Take photos then, that is a way to compare progress

Look in the mirror, thats the best way to tell if youre happy with your size. Disregard weight, disregard clothing size, just go by how you look. You could be the same weight as you are now in 12 months Alex, but look completely different.

Dont worry, i know BMI is rubbish, but for your average person who isnt an athlete, it can be a close enough indicator (unless you are way above/below average height). Im obese, or 1 point off obese with my BMI, i know people at 6-7%bf who are morbidly obese on the chart haha

Well then ill be damned! Changes things a little there with 58kg being the target weight. Being a female (yes, i was fooled) that would be close to an ideal weight.

My brother is 58kg at 5`9 and has to buy girls jeans because mens jeans dont fit him, the doctor has told him to eat more, do some strength work in a gym because physically he is very frail. No, im not one of "those people", but there is point when losing too much weight becomes more...

Alex, how tall are you? 58kg sure is very light, that would be the ideal BMI for someone around 5'3

Ive had a diet plan written up for me by Australias best bodybuilder, Hayzer Cayli. He took what i was eating, didnt add or subtract anything, but just changed when i ate what, and my body noticeably changed. Everyones different though, and we all respond to different things. About smaller...

I know its how many calories at the end of the day vs what you burn that accounts for weight loss/gain, but i can tell you if i have a carb meal for dinner, i wake up bloaty and puffy the next morning. Post workout shake is purely to get something in the system. If you are going to train...

Just a reply regarding muscle and "tone". Tone will come from a hardening of the muscles, and a drop in bodyfat. I have trained for 4 years now, and have gone from 68 - 83kg, but honestly i was more "toned" when i wasnt doing weights, and was playing soccer/running. This is because my body...

I would have a protein shake before training, or a small meal with a little bit of carbs and protein (tuna sandwich?). Try have these 30-45 mins before training.
