McBain II started this thread
Ok, I've noticed that for awhile now posters will come in here and ask for advice while giving very vague information. Unfortunately, neither myself nor any of our other regular posters here have been able to track down a working crystal ball, so it's probably time to start this thread.
If you're coming to this forum planning on starting a thread to get help with diet or weight loss, please provide us with the following information:
Current stats- We need to know your age, height and weight at minimum. Bodyfat percentage--if you know it--is also useful. Among other things, these stats helps us to know what your energy requirements and expenditures will be like.
Gender - This is a big one, folks. Men and women vary wildly from a physiological perspective and knowing your gender is absolutely critical if you want our help.
Goals - What do you hope to accomplish and in what time frame?
Current diet - Pretty self explanatory. A rough estimate of calorie intake and macros (protein/fat/carbs) is useful. If you're a beginner, as I imagine most might be, this one is not as critical.
Exercise - Tell us what (if any) exercise you're currently doing. The more specific, the better.
Supplements - Tell us what supplements you're taking/will be taking and the frequency and dosages.
Health Issues - This is another one that is important. If you have any relevant health problems or issues, please let us know. For instance, it would not be cool if you took my advice to use an ephedrine/caffeine stack but ended up in the hospital or dead because you neglected to mention that you have high blood pressure. It would be all your fault, but I'd still feel bad, so let's not do that!
That should probably cover it. Providing us with that information will prevent us wasting time and/or getting annoyed with having to pepper you with questions and allow us to get right into the thick of things. We have a pretty solid core group of people here and though we do not always agree on approaches and philosophy, we generally know what we are talking about and can help you if you're willing to put in the work.
Best of luck in your journey!
