motivation.. that is my problem.
that and i think im a food addict. it sucks.
Just give up. Life's easier that way.you. i like you!
Hey buddy,
1-food (eat big bfast, medium lunch, lite dinner, cut sugars/fats and carbs unless you are burning the carbs IMMEDIATELY)
2-exercise (definitely don't overdo it, will get hurt/and it's not fun. Slow, steady, planned progression. It helps mentally as well)
3-goalz (you have a big goal, but it helps to have several intermediate goals to mark progression and feel empowered)
4-workout group/partner (time, place, structure, commitment. Girls are the best, for MANY reasons LOL)
5-variety (mix it up, make it fun, it's more than sweat, it's a lifestyle)
A combination of the above...don't go 100% in a different direction than you are...it can be too difficult and demotivating. Keep it fun/enjoyable.
It's true, people who exercise living longer.
But that extra time is probably spent in the gym. ;)
Stairs are great because you don't beat yourself up jogging, but you are elevating your body weight which burns a lot of calories.
motivation.. that is my problem.
that and i think im a food addict. it sucks.
yeah but then i get to the point (since i dont know how to cook) that im eating the same stuff over and over again.motivation.. that is my problem.

You don't want to complete the race? That should be motivation in itself. Working out is 90%+ mental. If your not into it, it will be hard to get results. You will subconsciously find easier ways to complete the workout.
What works for me and my food addiction is not taking away the food I love, just adding in healthier stuff to my diet. Eventually the healthy stuff will take over. Your body has trouble with cold turkey methods.
Demmi-
Try different things and find what works for you.
I'd whip your butt into shape pretty damn fast!
Don't get too worried about the distance of 150miles, especially if you have 5-6 months ahead of it yet. The MS150 or any of the rides like aren't like any sort of normal individual or group ride you've done. There will be a big break/rest stop every 15-25 miles with more food and crap than you can imagine. Find a group that rides at a similar speed to you and ride together as a group sharing the lead and you'll make it through. Your body will hurt like hell, but you'll get through it
If you want to lose weight and improve your cycling strength & endurance then LSD is what you need to-do on at least 2/3rd of your rides (assuming you are riding at least 3 days a week right now)
LSD...time to get a bike and start riding

aside from my bike, the most fun i've had "working out" was doing muay thai.

ROFL! I would think it would help one not eat as well. I cannot believe no one is mentioning fasting >.>

I just posted in another thread that when I was in Thailand I was a pro Muay Thai fan and that it's the most brutal sport I've ever witnessed.
Trying stuff doesn't have to be expensive...just start moving that's the key.

sadly, im going solo. the one problem i have with group rides is, im either too slow or too fast. i have yet to find that one group that i ride similar to.
and, due to work (and my own laziness) i can only ride once a week (sundays, my day off) but hit the gym daily.
LSD?

that is the opposite of like every fitness book's recommendation in my opinion
yea I agree with your comment there about who's buying most of those books and them being worthless.that is the opposite of like every fitness book's recommendation in my opinion
Of course it is. Think about the world we live in and who's buying those popular fitness books ;)

LSD?
try to find another one, maybe one slightly faster than you're used to that has a no drop rule. Find a club though, not a race team type of ride as they are very different. In MN we have biketcbc.org and doing a B or B/C type of ride sounds like a good fit and the nice thing about these sort of clubs is the no drop rule on these level of rides in case you blow up or have a mechanical.
Riding just once a week is going to make it a lot harder, no matter what you are doing on the other days. Can you do a spin class at the gym or put your bike on a trainer at home for other days? I know both options suck compared to riding for real, but its exactly what i'm doing right now.
LSD = Long Slow Distance. Now slow doesn't mean 8mph slow. It means at like 70-80% of your maximum. This sort of ride will help build a base and really help lose the weight. You don't need to kill yourself and not be able to walk to lose weightLSD...time to get a bike and start riding

i enjoy cycling, why would i get bored of it? it takes my mind off a ton of stuff and i get to see different places every time i go out.
if anything, the only thing that bores me is going to the gym.
Ok, STOP the un-realism NOW... losing 5lbs per month is like... Getting diabetes... or Dieing of some serious disease... like the plague
You should slowly lose weight at 2lbs per month... This way, you will not burn muscle, and will instead be gaining muscle..
I also do not recommending bike riding or any form of exercise that requires significant investment in "TIME"
Sooner or later you'll get bored, and there is then a larger chance you'll say Fvkk it, and turn towards the path of the pudge again..
im in los angeles, so yeah, 90% of the time it's nice weather.Ok, STOP the un-realism NOW... losing 5lbs per month is like... Getting diabetes... or Dieing of some serious disease... like the plague

I agree that losing too much weight too fast is bad. I am no expert, so I don't know what is "too much", but if you eat well and lose weight by training you should be fine.
I disagree with the TIME thing. In my opinion, the most important thing is to do something YOU LIKE. That way, you will keep doing it. I don't know the weather where Demik lives, but if it's nice most of the year, why not go outside for a ride when he can? First, once you're outside on your bike your gone for your ride. You WILL have the motivation to continue. The hard part is to start, not to continue. Also, running/riding is MUCH harder in real conditions, so it's good to do that as much as you can. Doing it inside is still a very good option and WAY better than not doing it.

Your Brain implicitly calculates all the " FUN " you have biking and weighs it against the Cost... EVENTUALLY, you will feel the irk that the cost is NOT worth the " FUN " once the novelty wears off.
HOw you see it now is not a predictor of how you'll see it in the future.. HOWEVER the COSTS to the event will predict how you see it..

TP4, I think your next step should be to write a song about training, film yourself singing it, and share it with us so we can have a good time. :p
By that logic, TP4 never leaves his house because things could get boring, hence his persistent trolling. :))
You have posted a picture of your face on the forum while clothed, but when the nipples come out, you get shy and obfuscate it?

That's not what i'm trying to convey..
I'm an trying to point out that people who put in SIGNIFICANT investment of time into their bodies eventually HAVE to give it up, because it will become inconsistent with retained benefits...
I maintain my body with the LEAST necessary input of time...
Demmi-
You know biking is awesome, I have no idea why someone would tell you to not do something you like. I used to do century rides with a buddy, and routinely biked 375 miles weekly here on the California coast. It's unbeatable as you know. Don't get sidetracked buddy, no matter what you do/don't do...you won't lose anything but some unwanted weight.

Well, maybe that's your goal, but that's not EVERYONE's goal ... some of us like to do things because they are fun and have the chance to do things that get us in shape at the same time. And even want to improve, just for the pleasure of the challenge.

Life is a game to impress the opposite sex.. Most things such as physical prowess and appearance are DIRECT extensions of this BIOLOGICAL RULE..
I " don't " believe you " can't " go BEYOND it... I JUST HIGHLY DOUBT.... that ANY OF US... who do not already have 6 kids through college are beyond it.
Consistency and motivation seem to be the main issues for me also.
Even a few 30min workouts as suggested above will be great even after a few weeks for overall fitness as I understand that not all people that train need to get shredded to slay beeches.
I like to run, weights are not incoroprated too heavily into my routine.

JUST -ENOUGH is the key here..
Because Everytime you move a muscle, your biology asks the question.. WHY DID you move that muscle, and can you achieve your goal WITHOUT having moved at all..
IF you fight with your biology on this question.. EVENTUALLY you will lose... because biology is the rules for life you can not supersede with any amount of conviction..
You cannot forever delude yourself into thinking Exercise is fun... THIS ALWAYS FAILS..... ALWAYS...
no, actually, you do claim to know it all. every post you make is just so belittling everybody's opinion if it goes against what you think is right.
easy going philosophies? what the **** are you talking about. you're the one sitting here telling me to be lazy when im actually trying to be the opposite.

oh trust me, i take what tp says with a grain of salt. as i told him, the only thing i agree with is the food relationship, because with that he's 100% correct. but i just dont like his "im right because it worked for me" attitude. 3x30 worked for him? fine. that's good for him.

Again, the man as asked "I want to do this as a major life event, please help me do it, I know it will be hard, but I still want to try" and you're telling him to not even try because that's the lazy way.
Here's a list of what I expect your day consists of:
Put on pants
Put on shirt
Put on Helmet (this is super important, and I think you forget this a lot of the time)
Turn on computer
Open web browser
Troll forums
Respond to people with more trolling, ignorance and double talk
Do it again
Close web browser
Turn off computer
Take cloths off
Shower
Put cloths in laundry
Seriously, all that work, how do you still get out of bed?
Moron. **** you.

I don't claim to know it all... but as far as how to be REALLY LAZY and still be FIT, that is my domain...
And surprise! He's not asking how to do that! Gasp, we've found something else you don't know all about, reading comprehension.Consistency and motivation seem to be the main issues for me also.
Even a few 30min workouts as suggested above will be great even after a few weeks for overall fitness as I understand that not all people that train need to get shredded to slay beeches.
I like to run, weights are not incoroprated too heavily into my routine.
JUST -ENOUGH is the key here..
Because Everytime you move a muscle, your biology asks the question.. WHY DID you move that muscle, and can you achieve your goal WITHOUT having moved at all..
IF you fight with your biology on this question.. EVENTUALLY you will lose... because biology is the rules for life you can not supersede with any amount of conviction..
You cannot forever delude yourself into thinking Exercise is fun... THIS ALWAYS FAILS..... ALWAYS...
Except that it is.
Because being able to run just a little bit further or a little bit faster than last week is fun.
Being able to slide another plate on the bar for a lift is fun.
Being able to stretch or flex a random way and see ancillary muscle pop that didn't pop two weeks ago is fun.

How *dare* you try to denigrate me because I'm taller and have wider shoulders than you? You are a tiny child of a man that I'm sure thinks he gets a fantastic burn from the machines in the gym and doesn't need to use those big ol' weights.
I hate the gym. I never go to the gym.. I also don't lift much ... that's my point..
wider shoulders.. ok.. i didn't say anything about your shoulders. I just alluded to the fact that you're pudgy and could use some training advice.
Enough, guys. tp and tj have both been issued warnings for this back-and-forth. Let's keep discussion civil.
tp, we go through this **** with you way too often. Stop posting gibberish.
By that logic, TP4 never leaves his house because things could get boring, hence his persistent trolling. :))

Well, maybe that's your goal, but that's not EVERYONE's goal ... some of us like to do things because they are fun and have the chance to do things that get us in shape at the same time. And even want to improve, just for the pleasure of the challenge.

explain it... nice and simple. if you have recipes or full meal plans that'd be AWESOME.

Losing weight is simple - don't overdo it with salty, or preservative-rich foods - stick to meat and fiber for the most part. A Snickers bar is 200 calories, and it takes 20 minutes of running to grind that down, at least that's what the treadmill computer generally tells me ;)
I am currently working on stamina (just signt up for 24 Hour, I need to get that feeling of infinite runningness I once had..)
What I do is hit the treadmill. There's a few quick options...
1 - run for 20 minutes, then work on muscle building. This varies per person depending on what muscles you wanna build!
2 - like I'm currently doing, set an ambitious goal like 30 - 40 minutes of running, and make it interval with inclines if your treadmill has that capability... helps with burning calories. When you know you need to catch your breath, slow it down to a "resting speed" which is like a power walk, and then when you've caught your breath (don't be a baby! push yourself, or you won't gain...) pick it up to a good 5.5 to 6 MPH or "working speed" --- You should be very sweaty and basically dying by the end of your run. Having OCD problems like myself tends to help with this, as you can get insane about this kind of stuff. ;D
3 - good alternatives are;
the stair master (good for burning calories - it kicks your ass. It's the stairway from hell - just never ends!)
spinning (bike emulation - doesn't hit your core as much as running does IMO, so don't get too comfy here..)
swimming! not into it myself.... lol.

What exactly am I wrong about?
I have the end result of good work-out sense.. that being some definition, and a little bit of mass in the right places.
What are YOU claiming... exactly.. that people should spend an inordinate amount of time to achieve what?
1. Don't do a real diet to lose weight. What you should do is only to eat healthy things as much as you can and cut the obvious sources of extremes fat/sugar (you know them, but basically fried stuff, rich sauces, meat with too much fat and things with a lot of sugar). BUT, eat pretty much as much as you want without exaggerating, and maybe try to lower that amount a little but do not get hungry. If you are hungry, try to fill yourself with vegetables and fruits (fresh/raw if possible). Anyway, if you want to lose weight on a 5 months objective, the best is to go slowly, else it's bad for your body. The best way to do that is to cook yourself, eat as much fruit and vegetables as you can and do the obvious. For example, I replaced most of the red meat I eat with horse meat because it's much healthier. You can also try to eat more rice, quinoa, etc., they taste good if cooked well! Also, after a training, drink a small chocolate milk (just after). It gives back to your body some sugar and proteins. There are other stuff that can do the job, but chocolate milk is easy to find and a good one. You should drink it max 15 min after a workout.
hi demik, do you do squats when you're at the gym? If so, how much do you do currently? If not, I'd suggest doing 5x5 of the same weight, if you can do the weight without struggling in form, move up. Increments of 5lbs will be plenty, especially if you are able to squat daily. I think this is the most efficient workout to get stronger. If this is the first time doing workouts like this it'll be a ***** and you'll probably be sore almost everyday but your body will eventually adjust and get stronger (eat lots of protein.)
Work hard and good luck brotha
Whatever you do, don't starve yourself. There's so many people I see skipping meals and going long hours without even a snack because they're desperate to get thin/stay thin. Especially now that summer is coming there's a lot of pro-ana (pro-anorexia) blogs popping up, with people telling each other to hold off on eating because "thin feels better than a cookie" or some crap.

Yet research suggests fasting animals (especially lab rats) live noticeably longer and are healthier. (Not saying most of popular diets aren't stupid.)
Meh, I'm happier being a little chunky and eating my favorite foods, drinking beers, and not torturing myself with sweaty time-consuming make me feel like **** exercise regiments. Some people say they actually like working out, but that's just the lie you tell yourself to convince the brain it doesn't completely suck.
this is why i don't like crossfit by the way. do a bootcamp style class led by (ironically) gymnasts or something else that's only bodyweight.
actually it's not that ironic, because every single gymnast over the age of 18 has a major injury and knows how to make sure you don't get injured. rule #1 is don't use freeweights.
I'm going back to my crossfit box on monday. Perhaps the third time will be the charm. (I have a horrible pattern of starting, injuring myself, and then having to stop).

ive wanted to give crossfit a chance. but since it's the "new thing" right now, classes are way too much.
i know north hollywood has a pretty famous muay thai gym, and their rates aren't bad. going to see if i can get into that again. i should still have my gloves somewhere.
(I generally do 6-12 mile runs a couple of times a week).

Kudos. I enjoy cycling, but running is hard for me. I have never been a fan. I recently did the 10 km in the Rotterdam marathon, and even though it was not really physically hard ( I guess I could have pushed myself more), half way through I just lose motivation. It is not that I am out of stamina, and I am not exactly bored either, it is more like, I just do not enjoy running as a form of exercise ( I still do it twice a week, but only 4 km each time). The thought of doing 12 miles by myself? It will never happen. Kudos man.
Don't do it TJ! Bikes will cost you a lot more than keyboards! It's a trap.
Cycling is my first love for sure. It's a great way to stay in shape or get in shape.
You guys should start playing bike polo!

Better than gaining an additional 60 pounds. You are headed in the right direction and that is a significant accomplishment! Congrats!!
How did you figure out your Basal rate?
I'm getting a bike!! And then some tattoos since I will be a biker.
Anyone know a website for guides on healthy cooking that's not too complicated? I get tired of eating the same stuff fairly quick. :(
What about these 2, just to warm-up ;-)I'm getting a bike!! And then some tattoos since I will be a biker.

CROSSFIT
I want. It's across the street from where I moved.
Big benefit of crossfit is "community" they do their stuff as a group, interactive, motivating AND (at least here) there is a strong social component. They do some travel things and some travel/volunteer things. Interesting. I'll look into that more.
$200 month, kinda pricey for me these days, but I'm thinking about cardio for 30 days, cross fit for 90 days to harden up any soft areas, then take it from there.
Demmi, get off your ass yet? :)
Weight loss is easier if you can somehow quantify and measure what you need to do to achieve your goal weight. The science is actually pretty simple. It revolves around calories (a measurement unit for energy).
Your body needs energy to survive, and it gets that energy from food. Eating is good - it gives you the calories you need to live. But the problem is, if you eat more calories than your body needs, these extra calories are stored by your body. Over time, storing calories in this way makes you gain weight. If, on the other hand, you burn more calories than you eat, you will slowly lose weight.
Figure out how many calories your body needs daily (your Basal Metabolic Rate, BMR). You can use the Mifflin St Jeor equation to do that and apply a physical activity level multiplier based on your lifestyle. A quick trip to Wikipedia should give you the information that you need.
Then, if you want to lose weight, set a net daily calorie target of, around 500 calories less than your BMR. If you don't exercise, you can consume that amount in a day. If you exercise, you can "eat back" the calories burned through exercise. As long as you hit your calorie target, you will lose weight. You should not set a target that is too low though, since your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolic rate will drop, meaning that your body needs less energy to survive. So, once you set your target, aim to hit it, as opposed to trying to come in as far under the target as possible.
Note that everybody is different, so the target that you calculate may need adjustment. If you find that you're not losing weight after two weeks of consistently hitting your target, revise your target down by say 200 calories.
So, build an awareness of how many calories you're taking in from food versus how many calories you're burning through your lifestyle and exercise. It doesn't matter what you're eating as long as you hit your net daily calorie target. You can actually eat whatever you want. The trick is portion control.
The science is pretty simple. However, the challenge is twofold:
1) You need to know how many calories you're taking in through food, and you need to know how many calories you're burning through exercise.
2) You need to keep track of the above.
In my personal opinion, the most convenient way to do that is to use a mobile app. There are several out there. A search for "calorie counter" should bring up the most popular ones. Most of these apps come with a built in food database. You search for what you eat, and how much of it, and the app knows how many calories you've consumed. Some calorie counting apps are able to estimate how many calories you burn through exercise as well. While evaluating them, compare features and ease of use, but bear in mind that the app will only be as accurate as the database that it relies on.
Disclaimer: I'm not a dietician! I'm an app developer and the company I work for is in the weight loss field. But I'm not a dietician. Use the above information as a starting point for your own research :-)

I guess it depends on the person. I have never really had to diet. But for me, what works best is more of a common sense approach to staying healthy. I know and have always known how to be in shape. So do most people. I think it is a good thing to be able to quantify things, but you also run the risk of over-complicating something that is incredibly easy to most people.
I say this specifically because I have one over weight friend who had his diets and food intake down to a science. No doubt he knows more about it than me and the people we hang out with. Yet, when I try to interest him to work out with me he says he follows his own schedule. And when we go to the grocery store (it is opposite the building we live in we go together sometimes) I see him buying all sorts of stuff I would not touch with a 10 foot pole, but has all kind of reasons why it is ok.....
I think he would be better off getting a roadbike, go on some rides with me at least twice a week. Stop buying the stuff that common sense tells you is unhealthy no matter what you read in a book. Just watch his food intake (and be honest with himself) and eat fruit when he is hungry etc. And he would lose all that weight in 6 months. No science, just what your mom told you to do.

Two things:
1) Some people do not have what you call the "common sense" that you speak of. You seem to know what your body requires in terms of diet and exercise. Other people may not even realise that they need to adjust their diet. Or they want to lose weight, and it seems obvious that they need to eat less. But how much less? Most people aren't good with portion size. Quantifying things help them create better eating habits. Once someone has an awareness of the sort of foods that they should eat, and how much, they don't have to keep logging their meals. The point is to build that awareness. One has to start somewhere. This is a solution that is more likely to stand the test of time. Someone could diet like crazy, lose 10kgs, then put it back on quickly because the crazy diet is not sustainable. They go from overeating to undereating and don't actually know what is the sustainable amount that they should be aiming for. Seems like common sense to you, but many people struggle with this.
2) If your friend knows more than you, then his problem is psychological and common sense is not the problem here. Let's say that my doctor tells me that I need to lose 30kgs. I could look in the mirror every evening and think that this is too hard - I'm not seeing any difference yet. Progress is so slow. I can't do this. Or, I could look at my log and see that I've hit my target. One more day done, we're good. A structured approach can help with the stress.
after getting to 88 kgs (too much!), i completely stopped eating anything sweet, adjusted my food timetable so that i would eat smaller portions more often, and signed for additional kyokushin lessons.
just bought a fit bit flex for wife, will update on how it is.
down to 276 from 330. sucks almost losing 60 lbs and still being fat.
Momma always said life was like a box of chocolates, it doesn't last as long for fat people. Seriously, keep doing what you are doing. The biggest thing you need is patience, don't expect to lose a bunch of weight quickly, unless you feel like chopping off a limb. Slow and steady wins the race. Do it, you deserve it, and you will meet your goals if you set your mind to it.
finished a half century today!!!

did you take one muay thai lesson yet?
I do crossfit, but for some reason some people are completely against it. Super tough workouts, everyone does the same thing for time. Spicy.
Crazy question:
Let's say that once every 3-4 weeks you have a single cheat meal with lots of sodium. Now conventional wisdom says if you've been eating low sodium all along this meal is going to make you retain a bunch of water. However(!) what if you don't drink very much water after this high sodium meal? In theory shouldn't your body be smart enough to burn fat to convert it to water?
I'm not suggesting something that could lead to a pattern of bad behavior; it's quite disheartening - and scary - to have one bad meal and gain 9-10 pounds; even if I know what's sort of going on. I try to have my cheat day within 8 hours of weigh-in to have a full week to get it out of me.
So I stopped working out and dieting properly during the summer because of work in the morning draining me (damn kids and damn camp). My friend sent me a new workout plan by Tyrone Bell (Spartacus trainer) called Legion Training. It is supposed to be pretty brutal...working out every day and finishing the workout in about 20 minutes. Any thoughts on the work out?
He sent me the packet via zip file.
I like trying things so I will try it out...I will let you know. It seems its for sedentary people who only have a little bit of lifting knowledge cause it starts me out on the smith machine on bench presses (inclined and flat). Doesn't seem too bad because it isn't promoting any supplements.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Saw a recent interview with John Malkovitch where he was saying how he lost 80lbs in like 6 months with an all jello diet.
This is what I did in the past worked and doing it again now. :)
1) Intermittent Fasting. I fast 18 hours and eat 6 hours. Eating window is 12p.m-6p.m
2) Once you are comfortable with fasting (after 1 month), start eating more cleanly. Meaning no carbs/sugar. Only Vege and Meat. (Ketosis etc)
3) Cardio and Resistance training. (Alternate days)
4) Body weight exercise everyday after waking in morning in the comforts of your room. (pushups/squats/lunges etc)
Hope that helps.

I have been tempted to do a no carbs diet, but I really find carbs to be helpful even in weight loss. That extra energy it provides is more productive and helps a lot more when trying to maintain muscle tone. Don't remember the research but it really helped me to still eat a moderation of carbs instead of eliminating them. To each their own though. Instead of body weight exercises, I would stretch because I didn't want to lose my flexibility (us dancers really need it). Fasting helped so much though (16 hours or 24 hours twice a week). It really comes down to whatever works for you as long as you aren't hurting yourself in the long run.
Every time I've gone on low/no carbs I've felt completely drained and have no stamina.
I recently switched over to high carb no fat, no oil, no meat/dairy/processed grains, and I feel fantastic.
Typical day (Mon-Fri): As much watermelon, dates, mango, banana, black beans, brown rice, sweet potatoes as I care for.
(Sat-Sun): Buffets - all I can eat (until I nearly puke) vegetables, fruit, brown rice - sometimes white rice as a treat.
(Once a week): Small handful of Brazil nuts (selenium)
Average cal per day: 2,200-3,000. Average weight loss per week: 1/2 - 2 pounds.

Show me a single piece of medical literature that backs up your statement.
Look up the chemical structure for simple sugar. then look up starch... notice the similarities..
A spoonful of cooked rice is pretty much the same thing as concentrated coca-cola..
But hey man.. all the obese Americans with type 2, that says nothing about high carb diets...
Go right ahead... eat whatever you want...
Every time I've gone on low/no carbs I've felt completely drained and have no stamina.
I recently switched over to high carb no fat, no oil, no meat/dairy/processed grains, and I feel fantastic.
Typical day (Mon-Fri): As much watermelon, dates, mango, banana, black beans, brown rice, sweet potatoes as I care for.
(Sat-Sun): Buffets - all I can eat (until I nearly puke) vegetables, fruit, brown rice - sometimes white rice as a treat.
(Once a week): Small handful of Brazil nuts (selenium)

Do everyone a favor and stop regurgitating falsehoods unless you have MEDICAL DATA TO SUPPORT IT.
So I heard you can get diabeetus from coming in contact with people who do have it.

This is also true..
In the company of fat people, you can be coerced into over-eating..
Just like in the company of friends that are doing drugs, you may feel like it's no big deal, everyone does it, etc, etc..
Over-eating, though not an immediate danger can be pass down from family members or groups of friends just like alcohol and tobacco addictions..
You people gotta start thinking outside the box..
Remember meet the parents nights? many of the fat kids also had fat parents...Show Image(http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/8f337f1c.gif)

Ok stop being stupid. I'm still waiting for you to show me indisputable medical evidence that white rice causes diabetes...
So rice and soda are both high gi and carbs, your point? By your example I should be able to put diesel in my gasoline powered car and drive off no problems - after all - they both contain oil, right?
If you read my post - which I can see that you failed to do - I eat white rice as a treat. Not because I believe it causes diabetes but because I prefer brown for the fiber.
If you are a vegan like myself and do not consume oil and very sparingly nuts/seeds you have to overeat to an extent because it takes a lot of calories to get to a level where I don't feel like a zombie. That being said most of the time I'm keeping it under 3,000 cals and I'm still losing weight.
Yes I'm still a fat ass - but it's getting smaller by the week. My peak was 348 when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and last Friday I tipped the scale at 256. Yes, my ass is still big but decreasing (down to 38w from 46w)
For anyone else who is afraid of carbs I highly recommend "The Starch Solution" by John McDougall.
I really don't think it effective in doing a no-anything. All of the macronutrients that you intake (fats, proteins, carbs) play a role in how your body functions. Take one of those away and you aren't fueling the body efficiently. It's like taking a keyboard and taking out the switches and just leaving the keys. It isn't going to work. Now your body isn't going to totally shut down on you like that, but you need the vitals. Fat protects your organs and you need lipids in your blood. Carbs turn into glycogen which your body uses to fuel your system. Protein rebuilds, provides energy, transports stuff, etc. You need these for your body to be an efficient system...especially when you are adding additional stress with weights. Eliminating a part would not be the efficient way about burning fat and/or building mass. Watching the type of fats, proteins, and carbs is what has been truly efficient in most cases. You don't even need to eat 6-7 times a day (has been proven false time and time again). You just need an efficient amount as your body takes time to use it all. It really is as simple as calories in and calories out. Just gotta figure out how to efficiently manage them calories.
Plus being surrounded by biology and nursing majors, I've been told the dangers of ulcers and hypertension from such diets that remove a macro. I would believe them since they are studying rigorously on this stuff.
One very big thing. DON'T drink anything with sugar in it... So only drink water. Also, for motivation, try to workout and exercise with a friend/team that will struggle with you the whole way. To train for the actual run, people say just run a lot, it's kind of true but not really. At first, run HIT (High Intensity Training if I remember correctly). There is a setting for it on almost all treadmills and just use that at first. Then after around a month, begin to run lets say, 6 miles a day in less than 1 hour (if its not less than 1 hour for 6 miles after 1 month of HIT... you're doing something wrong). Run that much for the rest of the week. Then bump it up a notch. Go to 7 or 8 miles. Mainly, always increase the distance each week (if you're daring, every 2 days). Studies have also proven that leaving a day of rest between each session for weight lifting is good but I haven't read up about it for cardio. There is also the very popular "paleo diet". Search up NerdFitness and see the paleo diet. During the summer I lost ~30 pounds just by only drinking water and going on the paleo diet without exercise and cut 7 pounds eating at buffets but getting massive exercise in wreslting. I've done track and field for 2 years and this is now my 3rd year wrestling and we have to maintain our same weight for the WHOLE year so I feel ya. Just don't give up when it gets tough.

The "lack of dairy = osteoporosis" mantra is the result of aggressive advertising by the dairy farmers in cooperation with the U.S. gov't to spike sales of dairy products. It is empirically false, and was a precursor to the "high fructose corn syrup = sugar" campaign that is currently happening. Items that are heavily subsidized by the gov't are items that need to sell. Health/nutrition/science always lose out to the pursuit of profit (in the U.S.A. anyway).

Well I'm not from the US and it is a researched fact that dairy products to a certain degree are healthy, sure if he's taking supplements then fine, but I personally like to get my vitamins, minerals and fats from actual food, not pills.

Dieting, gym, training.....that's all for losers! I diet on potato chips while sitting in front of the computer, training others in the fine arts of using Windows.
I thought finger muscles would be more apt for this forum ...
Except that there are no fingers in the hands at all, they are all in the lower arm connected to fingers with tendons through the carpal tunnel.
... training others in the fine arts of using Windows.That is the toughest workout of all! Talk about trying to get the human body to try and accept something unnatural...

No differently from how any other source of excess calories will make you fat. It shows a lack of understanding of how the metabolic systems work if you think some sources of calories are more likely to make you fat than others. It's ultimately very simple; the body will treat all excess calories more or less the same, regardless of the source - a proportion will be used to increase your amount of muscle depending on genetics, exercise, age, hormones (including ancillary steroids), etc. and the rest will be stored as subcutaneous fat. Your entire musculature is constantly being broken down and rebuilt based on your existing protein intake, so the notion that you have to increase your protein consumption massively in order to gain significant amounts of muscle is a myth primarily used to sell protein supplements.
It is true that generally people get fat on weight gainers, but that's because either a) they don't care and just want to put on weight without too much concern over whether it's adipose tissue or muscle; or b) a misunderstanding of the rate the body can create new muscle, and the factors involved.
Care to explain why that is? Oh wait, you don't actually know because you're painfully ill-informed, generally lacking in intelligence, and the forum joke.
Food (which included weight gainers) makes people fat.
again, tp4tissue should be blindfolded with a string.
Go cry yourself to sleep tp, instead of pretending not to read my posts whilst frantically making pitiful rebuttals to them.
That is all very true, the weight gainers work if you're working out the right muscle groups the right way each week and taking the correct intake of protein and carbs to your body weight. If you don't care to read it then don't comment.

cheat meal:

bowl of pozole
tripas burrito
1/4 ground beef burrito (wife couldn't finish it)
slice of flan
slice of pumpkin cheesecake
2 cannolis
Holy **** I want to die :(
It's not in my mind: it's according to plan.
I have a cheat meal each week to refill on glucose. Currently eating twice a day a lean protein + non-starchy vegetables (usually broccoli)
Intermittent fasting between 12pm-7pm and it's working out great! No more jitters or craving for sugar. The desserts I did end up having were just 'what the hey' - I definitely could have done without them and will probably never eat sweets again for a while.
i've skipped testicle surgery as well.
Anybody follow a paleo diet?
I do crossfit, but for some reason some people are completely against it. Super tough workouts, everyone does the same thing for time. Spicy.

I love crossfit...but over the past 5+ years, I have started and stopped it several times due to injury (including one shoulder surgery). I have had to come to grips with the fact that I cannot be trusted to push myself that much...I simply don't know when to stop/slow down/etc to avoid injury.
These days I am simply trying to get less fat by walking at the prompting of my fitbit. :)
I've got a very nice recumbent stationary bike at home. I will, likely, continue walking for a while...as I do it in the morning, I simply wake up earlier if I need more time.
