Quote:Originally Posted by BrianGreensnips IMO there is nothing boring about a salad,... I love a typical salad with dressing and crackers. The nutritional value equals zero, unless you add to it, else you may as well drink a bottle of water. You need to do HIIT, accompanied by a healthy diet. |

| @Pre_Coder I agree. I add a little ham and cheese along with the spring mix, sometimes Romaine too,cucumbers,onion,peppers,jalepeno peppers, and cauliflower, I also like the Olive Garden dressing that I can buy at Krogers. It is pretty filling and under 300 calories. I might pop some popcorn tonight and add the slightest amount of butter and watch a movie or show. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| Today was a rough leg workout. And while many fitness people opt for white meat chicken, rice, broccoli... which I do as well... after today's workout, I slammed a protein shake and layed on the couch while the protein and amino acids did their job. Then I rode my bike 1 mile uphill,.. coasted back, rode back uphill, and coasted back. Right now, my legs feel like tree trunks. Now I'm preparing a... Tender loin (filet mignon - cooked medium) Baked potato Steamed asparagus Next month I'm gonna be 64 years old, so I gotta do something due to my many years of neglect. Fortunately I've been there before, and I know how. Just need to maintain discipline and motivation. |

| @BrianGreensnips You've mentioned recently that you are physically in bad shape. Due to your diet posts, I'm assuming that you are overweight. I don't know if that is all the details, but due to your posts, you seem to be serious about making corrections. Physical Activity - Are you capable of any physical activity,... even if it's just getting out and walking a few blocks? Do it! And do it everyday until you can do more than just a lengthy walk. Our bodies are designed to require, not just a healthy diet, but also physical activity. That's just the way it is. You can't beat beets - I've mentioned this before, probably earlier in this thread. Our bodies need Nitric Oxide to dialate blood vessels, and beets are the way to go. The brain requires more NO than the entire body itself. This is primarily due to mineral oxidation. Minerals (iron, zinc, etc..) oxidize in the outside world, but these minerals also oxidize inside the body as well, and primarily in the brain. The oxidation resembles microscopic meatballs that eventually grow a create blockage in the blood flow leading to strokes, Alzheimer's, and seizures. Back to beets, and I'm not talking about the canned stuff. You can buy a bundle in the produce section. Cut off the rat tail and discard. Cut off the top but save the leaves for later. Wrap the beets loosely in tinfoil, place in preheated oven at 400F for 1 hour. Shut oven off and let them set for maybe another 30 mins. Take them out, rinse, peel the skin, place in storage container, put in fridge. Morning Wakeup Call - Try to do this every morning, and yes it can be difficult. First thing (after bathroom activity of course), even before a cup of coffee,... heat olive oil in a skillet with 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, add raw spinach, kale, greens (mustard or turnip), and beet leaves from the paragraph above. Do this every morning... your body will thank you. Then walk a few blocks, or do more depending on your physical capabilities. Eventually you will find yourself capable of doing even more, and more,.. and you are going to love it. Where's the beef? - If you are overweight/obese then I suggest concentrating on fish and chicken breast, rice, and leafy greens. Forget the salads,.. there is absolutely no nutritional value, and the body requires nutrition to be physical. Discouragement - I've spent almost 15 years studying combat martial arts with the Japanese masters. In 2000 I was going to go professional but that was cut short due to injuries... long story.... but I'm getting to something here. After about 8 months of recovery, I just decided to go with just physical training. And I'm not talking about anabolic steroids and blasting iron to look like a freak. More like trimmed and defined,.. sub-aesthetics I guess you could say. I've trained high school/college football players, people who just wanted to get in shape,.. and I have also trained obese people. The obese were the more difficult because they could not grasp being patient with the process. "I'm exercising but still gaining weight!" Are you fatter?.. NO! Do you look fatter?.. NO! It's because muscle is heavier than fat, and many were not patient enough with the process to begin witnessing the positive results. And lastly.... Reprogram and Replace - Are we truly in control?... the answer is NO! We only think we are. We use our brain for mathematical calculations, operating a vehicle, making business decisions, etc.. whatever. But there is a VERY powerful entity inside the brain called dopamines. Dopamines are responsible for allowing us to feel positive pleasures and motivation. But there are very powerful negatives that influence our dopamines,... fatty greasy foods, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, pornography, etc. And the dopamines can subtly take control, and you will satisfy them regardless of the consequences. I didn't intend for this post to become so long and drawn out. This is meant for anybody who is aching and wants to regain control of their health. |

| @Pre_Coder agree with everything you say (not that I do all of the specifics) but want to add one more concept. A sustainable -system- is key. That system ideally incorporates a health “equation” that initially yields either/both: A) gain in muscle, strength and/or endurance (to facilitate more calorie burn than prior) B) reduction in caloric intake vs same or higher caloric expenditure This creates an inflection point towards weight loss. Once calories burned are higher than calories added, weight loss occurs because… well, if not you are defying physics. For some it is more difficult because a lot of the energy burn side (majority) is not during activity but during rest. Your basal metabolic rate “BMR” (to simplify, your resting caloric burn) may be very low. This would potentially mean caloric intake required for a net burn is so low (especially vs prior intake) that it’s difficult to sustain. This is why building endurance and strength is so critical. Muscle even in a rest state will contribute to BMR more significantly (much more significantly) than fat. Building cardio endurance is another option (if you have time to utilize the newfound endurance). A lot of this becomes a mix of virtuous vs vicious circles and willpower. Improving BMR is incredibly difficult because if you do weight training you will get more hungry… offsetting some of the quick benefits. If you attack it through cardio instead, you… well, will get hungry too. Energy levels are also key. Being rested enough to workout is important. I naturally don’t require much sleep (never slept much)… but when I am running off the lower range of my sleep schedule, workouts are difficult. In combination, ideally a plan that is sustainable but meets criteria of addressing the calorie calculation as its end goal is key. I know people who cycle through “diets” that don’t address the math and mental sides adequately… and they fail. Others (like pre coder) have a plan and systematic approach. The system details can vary but at the end of the day, success is scientific and I believe requires addressing those basic equations. Finally, once you achieve your desired fitness goal - you can rebalance the equation to equilibrium. |
