Great. I was right on Target then. I was the middle one. Thanks alot raynor!

no problem.

Hey raynor. For some reason I have plateaud in my weight loss. I woke up this morning and for the third morning in a row I was 233. Is this normal?

Hey i have an interesting topic in mind.. Since i will be moving out of my parents house this summer i was wondering how would a perfect kitchen for long term health/bodybuilding should look like? From A to Z all the equipment needed.. Basically everything that you should have in the kitchen.. If you are up for this and have some brilliant thoughts i would very appreciate

you aren't supposed to weigh yourself every day as I mentioned before.

Weight in ONCE per week on the same scale on the same day under the same conditions (IE: Monday morning after taking a piss wearing boxer shorts on the same bathroom scale as always).

weight fluctuates, but monitoring on a weekly basis is more accurate. To be even more sure, you can count your calories again and keep a food log to make sure you are doing everything properly.

This is a great question.

To make the perfect kitchen for preparing meals as a bodybuilding or even for long term health/fitness one would require the following:

1. Full Sized Refrigerator w/ freezer (obviously)
2. Electric or Gas Range w/ 4 heating elements.
3. Microwave (mostly for quick re-heats)
4. Toaster Oven
5. 4 slot toaster
6. High Speed High Power blender
7. Flat Surface Electric Griddle
8. George Foreman Grill
9. 3 Frying Pans (small, medium, large) - try to avoid teflon coated (this MAY cause health problems long term) - greenpan is a decent solution.
10. 3 Sauce Pots (small, medium, large) - go with stainless here
11. 1 large cooking pot - go stainless here
12. 1 large wok - try to avoid teflon and get a ceramic coated one instead
13. 1 large steamer (you can either buy the 2-pot steamer, or the independent electric steamer, either way doesn't matter)
14. 3 colanders/strainers (one small, one medium, one large)
15. 1 good set of kitchen knives
16. 1 good set of silverware (at least 4 sets of teaspoon, tablespoon, salad fork, dinner fork, butter knife, steak knife)
17. Bamboo kitchen utensil set (6-12 pieces, must have at least 3 large spoons, 1 large spatula, 1 large tongs, and 1 large scooper/ladle)
18. 2-4 pieces of plastic or teflon coated flat spatulas (thin) - (dont worry about teflon here, its only a concern when you apply constant heat to teflon)
19. 1 can opener (manual preferably)
20. 1 corkscrew (never know when you'll need wine for company)
21. 1 cooking utensil caddy (holds large cooking utensils that are covered in food/sauce to avoid it getting on your countertops)
22. A large variety of kitchen towels
23. A large variety of airtight containers and bags
24. A full spice rack with every possibly spice you can think of - as well as a large package of Stevia sweetener
25. Dinner plates, side plates, large bowls, small bowls, salad bowls, etc. (just get a huge set of dishes basically)
26. 3 mixing bowls (stainless steel - small, medium, and large)
27. 1 cheese grater
28. 1 juicer (this is optional but comes in handy)
29. large selection of ziplock bags, saran wrap, aluminum foil, wax paper, etc.
30. Misc. (placemats, napkins, soap, dishwasher/dishwashing liquid, large 5 gal water dispenser, etc)

I probably went overboard on that, but that is a very complete list of everything you'd need....

but just don't forget the FOOD!

I try to only weigh in once a week but I get excited haha. I am on the same keto plan you gave before with a few changed meals every once in a while

Hey raynor, How much can lack of sleep affect your gains/weight loss?

I went to sleep at maybe 5am and woke up at like 10-11 then couldnt get back to sleep because every1 in my house was up makin noise (i stay up late, they dont) so i got up now

i dont feel tired, but i was wondering if this will affect anything?

a lot. You need at least 6 hours of sleep a night to at least see ample repairs and metabolic adjustments. 8-9 hours is really the best however.

One day won't hurt you, but if you make a habit of it, it will.

Do you think the video in http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=51875200&f=60 is a good weekly workout for day to day life?
