[ QUOTE ] keep going verm, i'll keep reading [/ QUOTE ] Be careful waht you wish for! With regards to beverages, people need to be very very careful when drinking juices instead of sodas. The general perception is that since it comes from fruit, it's natural and thus healthy, etc. While not as 'bad' for you as a 2-liter of…
elysium = the advice to 'be active' works for some beginners, yea... but some of us, like myself, become inspired by reading and aquiring information on a subject..and knowing that there IS a strict science behind how much your body needs and uses per day, like a code you can crack with a spreadsheet and calculator and a…

[ QUOTE ] In the end, it all really just boils down to eating smaller portions of balanced meals, and leaner cuts of meat. [/ QUOTE ] Yep, totally. Thats what i mean. The problem comes in when you force yourself into a regimen that you're bound to give up, instead of just adopting a healthier way of eating in general. But…
It depends on what you want to do... drop fat (cut) or add muscle (bulk). It's nearly impossible to do both at the same time. My personal story: I went from 170 to 140 over the last few months (a dangerous drop, but I couldn't STOP losing weight once my body started attacking fat) and changed my body fat % from 20% to…
yep soda and fast food are the two poisons i try to avoid,on average i drink 1 can of coke per month. Ive tried many many things in my life which have addictive qualities but the one thing which still i cannot kick is sugar. So matter how much i try it calls to me. But at least i managed to lay off the sodas quite a bit.
[ QUOTE ] Interesting, another Polycounter has recently asked me about this (and I'll reply to you tomorrow, JM!) [/ QUOTE ] Nooooo, my anononymity is gone! I lost weight the wrong way and it's starting to come back, I gained 20lbs since last year But I did find some inspiration in the form of a pic on my old hard drive!…
Damn Ryno I'm in the same boat and I'm 22, I blame being engaged and severely twisting my ankle while jogging down a crappy Seattle sidewalk (come live in Seattle, even our sidewalks have pot holes!). I'm about 220 right now, I've only gained about 15 pounds, but fat just looks bad on me, so I'm working out which thus far…
Personally i feel that programs like Atkins and the South-Beach diet are money machines, they take advantage of people's desire to lose weight without being willing to get rid of the habits that are leading to the problems to start with. Regimented diet plans are for people for whom their weight has become a health issue,…
[ QUOTE ] Verm, from experience, i'd say that you are far too presumptious to call things myths.. I think it's really pointless to get into a silly arguement... However I believe not a single human physique is the same, all of us are very different.. so different approaches work for different people. [/ QUOTE ] While Daz…
