week 2 of my 12 week program and its going well... I always see physical improvements very quickly but I also plateau quickly as well so I'm getting it in.. So far so good... The hardest part of the diet part has been cutting back on liquor. I'm too damn social and a social drinker so its become a task.

Interesting post here. Well here are my thoughts and they are just thoughts. #1. Diets are temporary. Never put yourself on a diet but rather a lifestyle change that will be permanent. So not eating fastfood in moderation of course isn't good if you are not going to do it forever. What happens is you end up losing ur weight then over-indulging eating fastfood and gain your weight back plus 20 pounds. Diet's are a set up for failure. #2. You must at some point go on either a juice fast or a water and fruit fast. You have to clean out ur colon. You have to give your kidney and especially your liver a break and let them get caught up so to speak. Most of what we perceive to be weight is really undigested food in our colons which leads to dehydration. This leads to my next point. #3 Up your water intake. You'd be surprised the amount of "weight" you can drop just by drinking more water. Most folks think that dehydration can only happen during the summer. Some of us are chronically dehydrated. Increased water intake leads to accelerated digestion and more bowel movements. Remember if you're eating 3 meals a day 7 days a week thats 21 meals. Now count your bowel movements for the week and subtract the two. You will see how much left over food that is sitting there. Which is why you must fast at some point. #4 The best "diet" is not diet at all. You should list the foods you like or crave and also seek to add more nutritious foods to your eating habits. If you like sweets instead of buying them in the form of oreos and debbie cakes, prepare them yourself. Make brownies instead. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, etc. If you want Mcdonalds fine. You can eat it. Popeyes Chicken? Fine you can eat it too. They just have to be in moderation. Remember most of the time it's not about what you eat but how much you eat. Which leads to my next point. #5 The best program I have found for watching your calories long term is called Fitday. This program assesses your weight and allows you to put a target weight and the amount of time you set to reach that target weight. It will then show you how many calories you can eat everyday (without working out) to reach your target weight. Then the database counts the calories for you. So if you make a tuna sandwich, type it in the database and it shows how many calories the tuna sandwich was and how many calories you have left over for the day. If you choose to eat Mcdonalds, Popeyes, etc go to their websites and get the nutrition information. So lets take a look at this- Mcdonalds first nutrition.mcdonalds.com/nutritionexchange/nutritionfacts.pdf . Here you will find if you wanted to eat say two cheeseburgers and get a cup of water. You have ate 600 Calories. If its breakfast two egg mcmuffins are 600 calories. Basically if you're gonna deviate alittle do it at breakfast or lunch not dinner. Lets look at Popeyes which is surprisingly alot better. Popeyes if you were to get 4 Legs and a side of mash potatoes you have only eaten 500 calories and satisfied your craving for Popeyes. So theoretically and I wouldn't suggest anyone do this but lets say if someone put themselves on a 1600 calorie a day "diet" in addition to working out. They could eat 2 Egg McMuffins for breakfast, 4 legs and mash potatoes for lunch with 4 legs and mash for dinner and be at 1600 calories for the day and would probably lose more weight than the traditional dieter. If you workout you put what you did and the database shows how many calories you burned based on your height and weight assessed from before. It even calculates sex as well. So now you calories burned goes up therefore you caloric intake can go up as well just as long as you stay under the amount of calories you were restricting. #6. Change up your workouts your muscles are conscious and they like variety. Whether its running this week, stationary bike the next, swimming the next, etc. This is where you burn your calories. If you swim you can easily burn 1,000 calories. Same with stationary biking and of course joggin and running if you do it long enough. You cna even break it up. Lets say you set your goal of burning 1,000 calories a day just from cardio then see how long you have to cycle, swim, or run. Generally its an hour. So break it up. Cycle or swim 30 mins in the morning and do the same in the evening. There goes 1,000 calories gone just like that. Running is a bit different. If you're on a treadmill running at 5mph or 12min mile then 30 mins is 400 or so calories maybe more. In the end I'm no guru but I have lost weight gained it back and lost it again over the years. I guess its what works best for you but just make sure its long term and not temporary.. We can talk about different foods that are low calories which you can load up on and be full later. Peace

I guess its what works best for you but just make sure its long term and not temporary.. We can talk about different foods that are low calories which you can load up on and be full later. Peace Just need to add on somethings... 1.) If your going to give the kidneys and liver a makeover, don't stop there. Clean you blood, respiratory, and skin system out too. Give the body a complete makeover. Whats the point in fixing up a car if the engine and transmission are still old and damaged?? 2.) A quick and easy way to add verity to a routine is to incorporate H.I.I.T training. You can do it on the treadmill, the bike, and on the track. For one it cuts down on the amount of time you spent in the gym or on the track. Nobody wants to spend hours in the gym pushing and hurting your body. Secondly it's increases your VO2max, which comes in handy. Thirdly, it increase your basal metabolic rate which basically allows your body to continue to burn calories even after you've finished working out. This would be especially good for Reign because he says he often plateau in his progress. 3.) Weight loss is a marathon not a race, so it'll take time to get rid of those pounds you want to see go away. Instead of focusing on the scale focus on lower your currently BMI and body fat percentage...to size will go away eventually. Like I tell some clients, the best way to determine your progress is to see how your feel not the number on a scale. 4.) A lot of people say they want to "lose x amount of fat and put it back on as muscle", but fail to do it correctly. To do so correctly you need two different diets. You can't lose fat unless you use more calories than you take in. And you can't build muscles unless you take in more calories than you use. And the best thing you can do to help you get to wear you want to is to rest...take some time out you day and be lazy. This is only time where resting and being lazy is encouraged.

Furthermore just my preference when I have done fast in the past I've always started with Respiratory (which you were right about) and then Colon. We must understand if you clean your blood (liver) which brings nutrients to these places such as the respiratory system and colon which are still dirty then you're hustling backwards so to speak. Now a great liver/blood cleansing tonic is 1 beet, half of a white onion, and 2 tomato's. The Juice is purple and very tough. Your urine will turn a dark red slight purple. You MUST add water to this tonic or it will rapidly accelerate your heart rate. 2. right on with this one. What you think of using the Round timers for things like Jumping Rope, push ups, etc? 3. I partially agree with this. I agree significance shouldn't be placed soley on weight but it is an excellent marker of progress. A person's BMI can't be reduced without there being some weight loss as well. So the two are interconnected. Other goals could be great even if they are minimal. I wanted to be able to do sets of 50 pushups. I can now do that so next goal would be to get back at 100 like I was in the military. Then you can knock 5oo pushups a day easy. I would say the a great marker for progress is clothing. Being able to wear clothes you couldn't from before. 4. Well I partially agree with this as well. I guess it depends on what the person is trying to do. You are correct about the two different additions (don't like to use diet) that a person would have to add to their eating habits. The question is ,is a person trying to add muscle or tone and develop the muscle they already have. Like back in the day dudes taking muscle products but haven't developed what they have first. Like most muscle products to me are for people who already have developed their bodies and are looking to add mass to what they already have. If you haven't developed what you have naturally then it shouldn't be a prospect in my estimation to even consider any additions to your eating habits to build mass.

Try jumping rope after every set completed. I especially like doing a circuit style training. 3.) I agree with all that too. 4.) The whole building mass vs toning/definition is something I spent a lot of time on learning in school. But your right, you have first develop what you have then try to ass mass to it. There's different ways to do it. Muscle is all about eat the right things. I see people flock to GNC and buy all sorts of things though... effectively throwing money away.

There's different ways to do it. Muscle is all about eat the right things. I see people flock to GNC and buy all sorts of things though... effectively throwing money away. Naw I'm not fuckin with Garlic any longer lol. I juiced ONE clove of garlic and mixed it with a small amount of water one time. I'm thinking I could just drink it quick. Shidddd, I thought I was gonna die.. Like seriously thought I was going to go on over the hump. I had to laydown for like an hour or so. So hayle naw to Garlic and hayle naw to Kale Greens for juicing.

Hey Losers..
SO my question today is...have yall been having sex?? Yall do know that sex is a very good way to burn calories.
Here's an article...most of it correlates pretty closely to information I was taught in my Human Sexuality classes....
And ladies, if you are multi orgasmic like I am.....just THINK about the amount of calories you burn each session...(I think alot of these numbers are based off wack sex though...lol...it feels like much more than this!)
So go forth and get ta humpin!!
