So this online weight loss group that im with is doing the atkins thing. So I agreed to do it. Its been 2 days and I lost 4 pounds already and i'm not craving anything...but has anyone else tried this? Im kinda curious.
diets suck
i love food way too much
im a hyper guy,always on the go
so i dont get as fat as i should be
im on the cereal diet
Well I already lost 50 some pounds. I just wanna lose about 30 more. But I have eating problems and for once im just trying to do it the healthy way. However I don't like the fact that fruit is supposed to be off limits. But in the book it says if you can eat a small ammount of them then it wont be THAT big of a problem. I love my pineapple, watermellon, grapes and apples :thumbsup:
in the begining any carbs is off limits,,,but as time goes on you can
have fruits here and there... just say goodbye to bread,pizza and pasta...
i love my carbs too much...
..but then again, itd be a good excuse for my excessive meat eating. my girlfriend hates it..but shes practically vegetarian.
Yeah I know i'll be giving up pasta and bread and its going to be hard but i'd rather be thin
diets are fun and all but honestly... we all know how to lose weight... eat healthy, eat less and get off ur ass...
I did... I lost like 30lbs in like 5 or 6 weeks 195 to 165 and i feel much better
my advice for the exercise part is: find something you can do everyday cause then you won't forget and get out of ur rythem and if u just cant do it one day for whatever reason then its not such a big deal
Yeah I already lost 50 some pounds. Its just that I gained 5 back and im starting to lose my mind over it. Im just so terrified that ill gain my weight back. And this diet seems to be working fine for me and its the best one that I can pick right now. The other ones seem kinda...shady.
low carb def works,,,it just gets boring...Quote:

Happy B-day Fred Fred Burger! hahaha
y thank you... i think ill go have a pacifico now...
btw what do u all prefer pacifico or sappura (how ever u spell it) im down with both and thats what they picked up for today so it should be fun
Are you doing the traditional atkins, or the modified one?
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 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...
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.Quote:

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...Quote:

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...
hahah^^ and wtf did you do to ur avator? hahahahaha
I went to that site and I saw that they have appetite suppressents....those work?Quote:

I couldn't advise you on the matter because I'm weary of supplements. In general, most range from outright scams to being unhealthy. I believe you can achieve your goal without them. Especially being a fellow cancer survivor, we have wills stronger than 10 warriors. Trust me, put the work in, be persistant, don't be afraid to learn, and you'll have the body you want in no time! Don't listen to what the mainstream media says on weight loss and getting the perfect body, because it's totally wrong.Quote:

Yeah I love those excercises on that site! Its awsome how you can pick exactly where you wanna work out. And their simple too! I really appreciate that hun, you know your shit!
Hey Reb,
I do not know the differences between Atkins and South Beach, but they are similar. I did SB 2 yrs ago and lost 35 pounds, it was rough the first 2 weeks (no fruits and very little carb action), but then the cravings were gone and it was almost easy. Use common sense and remember that its not just a diet til you get the weight off, but ideally its a new way to eat to maintain the new bod, too
good luck
:)
You're welcome! I just want to show that you should focus less on the diet and more on the exercise. Just use common sense when it comes to eating, and reward yourself, most important of all. In no time will you get a killer bod, and you'll drive your man crazy, I'm tellin' ya, plus add some ooomph to your moves =)
I've never tried atkins
i think its hard on everyone, though
the zone diet, written by a pHd author, named, Spears was a answer to my hopes, 11 years ago. Fruit is great, especially CHERRIES AND PLUMS. The zone is a life long thing, done with various degrees of dedication. I had less than one percent body fat eating, fruit, oatmeal, peanut butter and protein every snack 5 times a day.
never hunger, never fatigue
the zone is done everywhere/;mcdonald's del taco, ect. I eat pizza several times a month and i am still within military weight standards.
the zone is based on controling insulin .
fat on a woman is very pleasant.
the softness is blissful to my emotions

All you need is discipline. I eat like a fatass and still manage to stay somewhat tone and skinny, not buff, i gotta work out more, but then again i dont sit behind a computer posting here all day. i go out and run or i caddy or i do yard work and shit and i just stay fit and stuff. Dont need a diet.
