Yes, I know muscle helps burn fat faster, just worry not seeing that scale go down because the muscle I'm building will keep it at a certain level and I'll lose heart after a while.
I'm pretty husky, big arms, and shoulders, don't want to be big, want to be slender, so I can dress up like Indiana Jones. Yes, I have the hat and jacket, now I need to slim down so I can buy the pants and shirts :)
Eloiminate foods with any corn or starch additives - especially that poisonous high fructose corn syrup.
That's great. Congratulations:') I've been thru them all and yoyo back between WW and Atkins. I have found that stopping snacking and just cutting back works but only when I get up off my backside. I've done really good this week I've been gone. Haven't been to the horse thread yet. You have a new baby?
Me Neither.
Oh wow, went to that site. Ok so it says I should weigh between 91 and 121 lbs. Only 1403 cals. a day. I think I can do that. Right after I get rid of the fudge.
actually intensity is the key....long boring treadmill stuff does very little unless you are obese......I only lift 4 days a week in a three body split for only an hour or so each time and 4 cardio days......two are hour long speed walking (i hate running bad for knees) and two days i do interval training.....actually if you overexercise you will lose weight but gain more fat cause of overtraining, high cortisol levels etc.....overtraining is always worse than under training.........
Better Diet = "Genes"
Man I feel for you, I've got 50 extra pounds that you are welcome to. (5'10" at 210 and 165 was or is probably where I should be)
Advertisements for weight loss centers often make it seem that success is guaranteed for anyone who really wants it. They feature smiling, thin, healthy people - results, the advertisements imply, of simply following the program.
A person generally pays a relative small amount of money for diet products and services and they don't get fat.
Contrast that to political ads that promise smaller government the Sun and the Moon only to get elected and increase the leviathan State. Taxpayers pay a lot of money for that abuse masquerading as benefits.
So what about that Cortislim. Anyone tried it. It makes sense
my dear.......cortislim has very limited use....some green tea and other herbs in it......if you want to block cortisol then train hard, take days off to recuperate and start meditating......that will relieve any stress induced cortisol better than that crap.......that company is being looked into right now
According to that site, I should be 99 pounds. There's no way that's going to happen ever *LOL*
No diet is perfect. There are lots of no-brainers to stay away from:
-- Cake
-- Candy
-- Chips (pretzels are ok in moderation)
-- Beer
-- Juice (partially--try drinking half juice/half water)
-- Bagels
-- And SODA (not even diet)
-- Atkins is right about some things. Steak actually helps me keep the weight off. Eggs in the morning are good too (no bread). I also eat protein bars for lunch (nothing else).
The above has helped keep me (relatively) thin. I have gained no weight for the last ten years.
that is the worst thing you can do cause your body thinks it is in starvation mode and will lower the metabolism and start storing fat actually........very bad....breakfast is a must, the one constant people who keep it off have and eat 4-6 small meals a day to keep metabolism up...people are fat cause of HFCS......high fructose corn syrup which sweetens everything bad, sugar, white floor and trans fatty acids......pure and simple
I love Dr. Atkins, his diet is responsible for bringing so many diabetic friendly products to the market.
Not my kids. They watch TV and play video games, but they also haul and stack wood, feed the dogs and the ducks, fill the birdbaths and clean their rooms, bathroom and vacuum the stairs, rake the leaves, cut the grass, etc.
They get a can of pop when they come home from school and ice cream an hour after supper. They are both healthy and slim with beautiful shiny hair and good teeth and skin.
They do have classmates who are monsters-----in more ways than one.
1) Don't eat any food containing high fructose corn syrup.
2) Don't eat any food containing trans-fats.
That's it. These two villainous ingredients are what caused the big bulk-up in America over the last twenty years. Of course, sticking rigidly to these rules eliminates about 98% of what you'll find in the middle aisles of the grocery store, so you'll have to cook more. ;)
