So...what, if anything, are ya'll doing to suppress hunger? I'm eating a reduced-calorie diet, yes. But I'm getting all my required vitamins, minerals, sugars, proteins by other means. I'm almost completely off carbs for the time being so fiber is hard to get in (and artificial fiber will EFF up your intestines). Anybody taking hoodia or other natural remedies?
Oh. and I already drink water. A lot. Doesn't work.

Sounds like you're in that haze period. Until your stomach gets use to the currently schedule and proportions you are going to be hungry. Coach may have something.

I keep reading that it'll block up your situation and that you have to increase your H2O intake when working with those. 1. I have a great relationship with my digestive tract and I want to keep it that way. 2. I will NOT be drinking any damn more water |

Now that you explain I understand now. See, Psyllium absorbs water in the intestine so that may be why they say you should drink more water, but if your drinking adequate water as it is then it should be ok. What's adequate water?? Take you weight, divide it by two and drink that number in ounces...drink more if you sweat a lot. You can just load up on fruits and vegetables if you don't want to go the Psyllium route though. For the hunger, only thing i got for you is incorporate cottage cheese (or something with a good amount of casein protein). But Reign is right, your body is just getting used to working with less calories. |

I've been so busy the last 2 weekends I didn't make it to the gym at all. I did get in 3 days, but I can really feel where I missed those Fridays and Saturdays. My energy level is so not on point.

Good job, L!! I'm going for another 20. I figure it's easier to focus on 20lb increments rather than the big (no pun intended) picture.

Ok, so I got that first 20 lbs off without too much trouble, but it's time to incorporate some serious cardio into my situation. I realize though, that I may not always be able to make it into the gym. What kinda things do you guys do at home? and with what results?

What kinda things do you guys do at home? and with what results? if I can't make to the gym I pop in my Hip Hop Abs disc and bounce around with Shaun T. It's a pretty cool workout. #embarrassingmoment: i was at a "party" and this lil groove came on that's similar to the groove on the disc. Before I knew it, I'd started to "Tilt, Tuck, Tighten" to the beat. |
