6 pack abs are made in the kitchen not the gym.
Sara Mahoney full of Baloney.
Every runner knows you cannot run when eating junk.
3 factors: rest, quality food and running.
Running exercises the heart, lung and blood.
No. Jog for an hour a day, five days a week, for a month. Congratulations! You just burned the calories in one pound of fat. Hope that jogging didn’t stimulate your appetite (it probably did).
You know, I always imagine these researchers wearing thick glasses and Birkenstocks sitting around eating broccoli and having white wine. Of course, they say I should give up chickenfried steak and gravy. They don’t even like it in the first place.
"...low-sugar and low-fat diet..."
I used to lift weights / hit the exercise machines 5-6 days a week on average. Sometimes, 7 days. Bicycle for endurance. I’d do 50 pushups every morning before hitting the shower for work. I could do 500 situps - but I never had abs, LOL. Well, not the desired look that is.
Yes I was in very good shape in those days. Slept better, too.
Once in awhile, I would hit the nutrition stores for something for my morning drink (usually whole milk, banana, raw egg, strawberries or blueberries, wheat germ, honey).
The most ill people I ever saw were constantly eating stuff that it looked like only a bird would ever eat. Once in awhile, when I go to Sprouts for veggies or fruit, I’ll see one of these people.
I had a guy tell me I couldn’t drink mile at my age. Yes, I’v over 21, lol. I can drink a gallon of whole milk every week; it’s no problem at all.
My weight DID go up when they switched soda pop from sugar to HFCS. The last 6 months or so, I drink less pop.
Except now. Taco Bell $5 special, ya know....
Jim Fixx only made it to 52
That’s what Jim Fixx missed. He did not change his fuel mix, instead he continued the same junk diet. Still, running bought him several additional years, considering that genetically the deck was not stacked in his favor, since other males in his family died at younger ages.
That all said, as a cyclist competing in masters events, I have found that it is not so much how much fuel you take in, it’s also the quality of the fuel that matters as well. I had worked with a sports nutritionist a number of years ago, dropped a good amount of weight, but even more so, had a huge drop in percent body fat. No change in the quantity, no real change in training, except maybe in the volume I was able to handle since I was recovering better. And no, I was not using the “juice”, since I was potentially subject to testing by USADA. The big change was the fuel mix.
Every morning I get up out of bed feeling ready to run at least a mile or two.
Then I lay back down until the feeling goes away.
Oh boy, where to begin. You must burn more than you consume. Consumption, no matter what is, is still consumption. You don’t have to exercise, you don’t have to run, you simply have to eat less. And a complete diet? Not one person in a thousand can do what the “government requirements” dictate. My consumption tonight: a bowel of curried lentils with onions, a salad of red leaf, fresh mint, and scallions. Then sourdough bread dipped in two olive oils. Before that I walked three miles, in addition to my six miles before that. So tell me I will gain weight and I am fine? Tell me. Don’t worry about my usual meat diet—for another day.
It’s a amazing the number and types of energy and protein bars there is at 7-11 and grocery stores now
Packed with perfect nutrition they are the easiest and best lunch or snack
There are dozens of them now not just Clif etc
My lunch if I have it is two or three of those and a fruit smoothie
My 2c
Yuck. A bowel of ground pork is fine, as long as it is prepped correctly. Usually call it sausage.
Yuk to you too. To each his own. I never touch pork—never, ever, ever.
Chronic inflammation.
Just remember that whole milk has sugar in it, too.
"...curried lentils with onions..."
“McGillivray has a family history of chronic cardiac illness”
The most important factor is good genes, with respect to coronary heart disease. It’s more important than smoking, diet, or exercise. It’s really unfortunate that everybody wants to upend society completely because of a certain percentage of folks we can’t do anything about. They ruined commercial french fries for example. In the 70s we were all hectored about eating eggs, and “experts” suggested substituting oleo margarine for dairy butter.
