Atkins Diet?

I want to say watch out for the meat also,,,look for organic grass fed beef...

THC has got a grip,,,thats why I said you can have fruits here and there... moderation is always key in anything we do... I lost quite a bit on a no carb,,,but as time went by I added carbs ,,,we just can't be excessive or we store it as fat... carbs are energy and we need to burn that energy...

If you are doing the traditional one, I highly suggest you to stop, because it's extremely unhealthy. Everyone needs carbs.

With that even the modified one, you don't have to stick to the entire plan. Your goal should be to change your lifestyle, rather than just "diet." Dieting sucks.

Carbs are essential. Brown rice, wheat, potatos (not french fries), fruits and vegetables are great sources for healthy carbs.

My recommendation would be to start an exercise program. That way you don't have to watch what you eat as much. Plus, you already look pretty skinny to me, you just need the tonage. Diets won't provide that, exercise does.

Now if you want a good exercise regiment, I can whip you up one real quick, that fits for you. Just tell me your goals, and how time you want to invest it in per week.

I do work out alot hun. I do strip aerobics and dancing, I walk when I go to the park on the track, I lift 12 pound weights, and I do some videos. I try to get as much cardio as possible ya know. But ive been trying to work on my thighs and my arms alot lately.

All right, there's gotta be something you aren't satisfied with yourself when looking in the mirror. I mean you work out, but you want to lose weight, and work on your arms and thighs. From a point of perspective of someone whos loves to stay in shape, this puzzles me.

Explain exactly what you want to change. And I can give you suggest at little changes to help meet them. I studied the art of losing body fat. That's what you want to get rid of I'm sure. So hear me out =)

I wanna lose weight everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I hate my body with a passion really. The only part I enjoy is my boobs...and thats a sometimes.

Yay...

I see what you mean. When I see pictures of girls, I see ways they could improve their bodies with some tonage. I see the potential.

First thing you need to do is built some muscle. You could do all the cardio in the world, but if you don't have muscle to go with it, fat-burning won't be as efficient. I think you should shift your focus for a bit.

I have to stress the important of the legs. Having strong leg muscles helps support muscle on your upper body and keeps the flab off because of the energy required to maintain them. I suggest squats, lunges, calf-raises, and deadlifts. Doing these 4 exercises, while striving to do it at a higher weight will give you great, strong legs. In addition, using various squat techniques works out your back and abs. This alone I guarantee if you put the work in, you'll look noticeably better in 2 months time.
How many repititions of each exercise do you do? Do you try to do it at a high weight, low weight, you have to describe what you are doing. You may fear that you'd gain muscle like guys do, but girls grow muscles different than guys. You don't have to do it extremely heavy, enough to maintain flexibility in the movement for the number of reps you do.

I do squats alot...I do a 30 count usually but if I wanted to I could do 50. I finally got my form right for that haha. And for weights I use 10-12 pound ones. See I follow a video for that. I got the Carmen Electra tapes.

Carmen Electra Striptease Videos and DVDs

I think you need to be lifting a little more than 10-12 pounds. Adjust to a weight you can do that strains you, but you can work through it for 15-20 reps, with the last rep where you are near the point of muscle failure. Do 3 sets in these instinances.

2nd, I want you to go to bodybuilding.com and look at various exercises you can do to work each muscle. Start a work-out regiment. And about once every 5 weeks, change your routine, so you don't get use to doing certain exercises, give something new. There's a million things you can do and most of it doesn't even require seeing the inside of a gym.

Other thing is if you lift weights, days you don't lift are equally important in getting muscle and getting toned. You need days to have your muscles repair and grow. Doing it all the time just stuns them. So while you rest them, you just do some cardio stuff.

wow thanks hun, im gonna go check out that site now. So what do you think about my tapes?

I like a little meat on my Rebs...
