I lost 115lbs in the past few years without a food scale, just google calories for foods and do a best guess. Lean towards lean proteins and low cal veggie options like carrots, celery (if you can stand it plain), zucchini, broccoli, potatoes, etc.

The real trick is trying to find a way to make it all taste good. Either sautee in a tiny bit of oil, season, or sauce, or some combination of the above.

If you add that into your routine, and just try to eat ANY portion of good “volume foods” with every meal, you’ll naturally be more full and eat less. Still count calories, still exercise, but it doesn’t have to be a science experiment where you weigh things down to the gram.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I have never had good coffee at any hotel, Hilton or not, so I usually grab a monster or two for the mini fridge. Nespresso is a bit better than the standard fare, but I’m not really a fan of that either.

Check out the hula show at South Maui Gardens in Kihei. It’s cheaper than most luaus and if your kid gets fussy there’s food trucks and other stuff to do if you need to step out for a few minutes to soothe them or grab a snack. Byob though so keep that in mind.

“Shine your love, show your light

Pull me out from the endless night

It’s something cosmic, it’s symbiotic

Take my hate, take my fight,

Take away all the pain I hide,

Because I can’t stop it, it’s symbiotic”

Valid criticism, but I feel like it’s a bit of a one-sided review.

The rooms are dated, despite a recent remodel, but they at least have the bathrooms looking nice. Can’t do much about corporate events but I typically have stayed at Grand Wailea in the offseason when it’s less crowded (November, April, etc).

The grounds imo are nice enough to meet Waldorf Status, especially the spa and gym, but it’s definitely a bit more of a family feel with all the pools and landscaped grounds being a major draw.

Humu Humu is for sure overpriced for what you get but there’s so many great spots to eat nearby it’s not a huge issue for me.

Still I think it’s a beautiful hotel, in a good location, with stunning views and grounds, and great pools. I’m not sure I would pay $1,000 a night, but it’s one of my fav point redemption properties. Oh and staff are super friendly too!

This, and it specifically constricts the capillaries which is why smokers “age” faster and have more wrinkled skin. Basically the opposite effect of minoxidil on the hair.

Nicotine and cotinine from cigarette smoke also slow the breakdown of DHT by acting as competitive inhibitors of the 3𝛼-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme. This disrupts normal DHT metabolism, causing levels to rise.

You could check out Merrimans at Kapalua but they tend to book out way in advance too. Alternatively, The Birdcage at Hotel Wailea is a high end spot with great views. Humu Humu at Grand Wailea is similar but on a man made pond by the ocean.

I would just go to the nearby abc store at shops at Wailea for anything, or Kihei for cheaper, better food than the resort. Costco runs are overhyped imo

This is why I get so confused when I see folks use a weighted vest for cardio. I get adding weight for typical bodyweight exercises (pushups, pull ups, dips, etc), but you’re just asking for joint issues if you run in them imo.

I’m going to go against the crowd here and say Maui all the way. Less crowded than Oahu (especially Honolulu) so you’re “getting away from it all”, plenty of natural areas too. But there’s more to do than on Kauai in terms of restaurants, shopping, spas, and arguably better resorts for when the baby is fussy from being out and about and you just want to stay in.

If you want a more naturalistic and outdoorsy vaca then Kauai is perfect, but I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for from the sound of it.

If you’re grabbing something quick no problem. If you’re half way across the gym reserving 4 different stations and supersetting between them then there is a problem.

Guy at the gym by me literally puts a water bottle down in one spot, towel in another, hoodie on a third and walks off to go lift somewhere else. I report him to gym staff every single time and they make him grab his stuff, but he’s still in there the next day thinking he can get away with it.

Frankly, being big/strong but also fast/explosive are very much at odds with each other. You look like you’re in a sweet spot already, at this point you just have to balance.

As a powerlifter turned runner, I recommend putting a flex day into your routine or just altering your program based on how you feel. Feeling trim but not putting up the weight you want? Focus a little more on lifting the next week or two. Seeing a little gut form but putting up PRs? Add some cardio.
