Fasted cardio has become very popular these days but research has shown that it's only really effective if your really lean, 6-7% for males, 15-14% for females, other than that your better off doing any other type of cardio to burn fat. Do you agree or disagree? And what type of cardio is the best? (Answer poll)

I workout every morning from 20-45 minutes. I do hiit, strength, and stretch.
I also have cut out most processed foods and now eat mostly veggies, nuts, meat and fruit.
I only have 10 lbs to lose but I'm terrified I'll do it wrong somehow...

Have you ever had sleep paralysis? If so tell your story...

How many hours of sleep do you usually get on a normal work/schoolday?
I get like 5/6 hours on a normal day, and yes I know it's not enough.. But I just can't fall asleep in less than 2 hours. It sucks but the funny thing is that I'm not even that cranky or tired when I have to wake up.

I'm a teenage girl, a junior in high school curious about my eating habits. They're listed below. Could anyone care to give some feedback? It's not easy for me to eat incredibly healthy super foods all the time, but I try my best to avoid junk food and generally bad stuff. Anyways...

Breakfast:
2 eggs, usually. Sometimes fried (not actually fried in oil or grease; if I use anything, it's usually Pam); other times, I scramble them (nothing in the pan); and every so often I'll have an omlet with bits of ham and cheese, though I'll only eat about half on most occassions.

Lunch:
A sandwich, either roast beef, ham, yellow American cheese, salami, turkey, or tuna, with a little bit of either mayo, mustard, or lettuce added. Almost always on whole wheat bread.

Dinner:
Here my eating schedule varies. I have pizza once a week, most often on Friday's, with family. Steak (no sauce, medium to medium-rare) with salad is quite common, as is chicken (baked in an oven). Rarely I'll have Campbell's soup or some Chef Boyardee canned thing (rarely as in maybe twice in two and a half weeks. My dad normally does dinner, and for the past few months quick fixes like burgers or chinese have become more frequently consumed. Chinese is only maybe twice in two weeks, while burgers are a bit more common, like three times in two weeks (four if we have leftovers, though I'll usually opt for a sandwich instead).

Snacks and Drinks:
Fruit- a lot of it. Mangos, apples, grapes, pears, cherries when available, almonds.
Carrots & salad (with small side of Ranch dressing)
I have about two cans of soda a week, but normally drink a lot of milk and water. Orange juice is a staple in the morning for me.
Sometimes I'll indulge a bit with a little ice cream or junk food as a snack, but I strive to keep these to a minimum.

I'm not overweight, just average, and am trying to get a bit toned. I've started swimming, but dieting I've heard is a big factor too. I just wanted to find out how bad or good my habits are right now before I change.

i know many people are very sensitive when it comes to subjects on these and people have very different opinions on this.
i need people from differernt areas to answer this for a project on research i am doing in college so please can you answer and give a reason on why you think that. many thanks.

If so, where?

I never really had them. They only started to develop when I started to loose weight. On my stomach around my bellybutton, and on my hips. They're an insecurity of mine, but luckily my boyfriend doesn't care. He has them too, and he's fit!

Also, are you insecure about them?

Thinking about reducing my dairy intake because I want to lose weight a little quicker, and my tummy is super sensitive. :(
It really doesn't give you that much calcium it actually makes your bones weaker. So I don't see much reason to keep it up. :p
What do you think? :)
