What I often do with my GF is go to a school track and run laps followed by sprints. The track near my house has a football field in the middle of the track so we will sprint from goal post to goal post and do strength exercises at each end. Wide armed, close armed, diamond, and regular push-ups; crunches; squats and lunges; front and side planks; and pull ups on the goal posts. If you have a buddy to work out with, you can do resistance exercises as well. For example, you do push ups while your buddy presses on your upper back. You can also do a LOT of exercise with some dumbbells. Go to a local exercise place or sports store and pick up some decent weight dumb bells. You can do a complete workout with them.

Keep in mind that if you figure you need around 2000 calories. I recommend you break that into 4 - 5 complete meals. What I mean is, don't eat carrots and bullshit all day, then pack in 1500 calories at dinner (the average for a place like TGIF). Try and eat 4 meals of about 400 - 500 calories throughout the day. Each meal should have the same ratio you are shooting for with fat / protein / carbs. Alcohol... light liquor is better than dark. Red wine is better than white.

If your body's been running in starvation mode all day, piling 1500 calories into it with no opportunity for them to be burned is just going to trigger fat deposits.

I've been eating those right before I go to the gym, but they're around 230 or so Calories per. Like I said earlier in the thread (I think) South Beach makes a great little snack proeien bar. You can get em in chocolate, peanut butter, etc etc. Only 130-150 Calories each, 10 grams of protein, fills me up for a couple of hours at least. Good snack for grabbing when your stomach is growling and you can't stop to eat. Also, what I've been doing lately is a smoothie in the morning with wheat germ and protein powder. Toss some frozen fruit (I use peaches, strawberries, blueberries), fat free yogurt, and a splash of milk or juice in the blender, a couple scoops of protein powder, and some wheat germ. Nummy, and healthy, and it fills me up better than a bowl of cereal. A cool thing to do with smoothies is also to plop your daily vitamin in. Get some of the vitamins that come in powder in a capsule, and dump em right in. Voila, no icky pill to swallow. Last Edited By: Zyrazsha Mispriss 10/12/08 19:48:48. Edited 1 times.

I usually keep a box of those, or the Fiber One bars in my desk drawer. Whatever is on sale. I do prefer the taste of the Fiber One bars tho.. the caramel ones are delicious and very filling.

I like a lot of you after years of EQ and hours of raiding quickly found myself out of shape. I ballooned to 240 at my heaviest but have since dropped 70 pounds and gained a lot of muscle since then. I think the most important things to do to drop it safely is 1. Keep track of what you eat either keep a food journal or use myfitnesspal.com or any web site like that. 2. the hardest and most important step in my opinion is putting a workout time in your schedule and keeping it.Once it becomes a habit it gets much easier. 3. Eat 5 meals a day 4. eat healthy foods if you are not sure what to eat check the first 3 tiers of michi's ladder http://www.focused-on-fit...trition/michis-ladder.php 5. find workouts you actually like im sure you can find something you enjoy that is good excersise and then remember to change up your workouts from time to time, (your body can and will adapt to the same stress done over and over again. change up your cardio and your weight lifting programs for max results and to prevent platues I just finished the P90X program and I got to say although I was in good shape before it really helped teach me about nutition and tought me a lot of great excersises and the importants of muscle confusion that really took me to the next level. I really suggest anyone that is really serious trying it out.

Think of your metabolism as a campfire. No fuel = no fire. Feed the fire with lots of small branches (small meals) and you have a raging hot fire. Feed it with a giant log (big meal) and your fire dies out. For eons, the human body has become a machine designed to do one thing.... store fat. Fat is fuel. Everything that you eat, your body tries to turn into fat... everything. That is why you need to eat balanced meals and frequently. You are tricking your body by telling it "you don't need to store the fat because I am gonna give you some more later."

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Its actullay slightly negative.... water has zero calories... but your body has to work to warm the *cold* water... so you burn a little git of calories when you drink it. Trick question but fun fact..

(my new years resolution was 65lbs, still working towards it) I would have to agree that crash diets, pills, and the like do not work, what does work is balanced exercise, sleep, proper food intake and vitamins. I.e. balance.
