10 things you should know about losing weight

Yanick · 06-04-2009, 10:50 AM

Balance is the key of course (check out my avatar, I'm all about it), there just comes a point where priorities change. I'm out of the stage of my life where I want to go out and party, the rare occasion I go to a club/bar I look around at all the douchebags and think, "why am I here, I'd rather be sleeping or reading a book right now."

I'm not missing anything with my diet. If anything when I'm dropping fat I tend to appreciate food more. Its the whole, you don't know what you got till its gone thing. I give myself 1 refeed day, with 1 full out cheat meal (whatever I want). We usually go to my G/F's house for dinner, Grandma's Italian food. Everyone in her house is just eating and critiquing that there isn't enough salt here or some such bullshit. I'm sitting there with a shit-eating grin on my face, shoveling food down my throat and having a blast. They eat this stuff everyday, its not enjoyable for them anymore, its just another part of life (as is heart burn, nausea, fatigue etc, you know stuff you tend to get when you eat like shit all the time).

I am a full supporter of the saying "to each his(or her) own".

While I agree, goldrol, that the obsessive nature of weight training and bodybuilding can be excessive, to some people it is not seen as deprivation or restriction. I personally take more of an overall health approach; I eat healthy foods, stick to whole wheats, lean meats,nuts, eggs, etc, and avoid excessive fried, saturated, artifical foods. I do not count macros at every meal (though I have before, wich has been a great benefit at estimating calories in my meals currently) and I will admit that I sometimes miss days in the gym. Wich is ok for me. I am young, healthy, and in the best shape ive ever been.... but I could be better (I suppose we can ALL be better to a degree).

With people like Built, and many others, who truly revel in the science of it all, and the precision and execution of a diet plan down to the very calorie,gram of fat or protein, this is not a wasted effort nor a motion of vanity. It is a way of life. And chances are, it will be a long,fulfilling one at that.

I'm still trying to figure out the point of this thread.
Fuck goldcol and his trying to tell anybody how to live there life. Obsessive people are my role models, they do what they do better than anyone else.

All that time spent watching the programme again and posting it just for general discussion/info and you don't even know what the point of the thread is?

Where in life did I go wrong??

Sorry not knocking you, you did a great job.

I just get easily confused.

The essential nutrients that the body requires are extensive and are much more than just vitamins and minerals. High quality daily nutritional vitamin supplements should include amino acids like L-Carnosine, alpha lipoic acid and acetyl L-Carnitine that provide proven benefits. Other anti-aging nutrients backed by studies that the body needs and will use are antioxidants such as quercetin, bioflavanoids, certain herbal extracts, enzymes to improve the vitamin nutritional supplements absorbability and so on. And these nutrients must be in the correct proportions to each other.

I usually eat 6 times a day. Every once in awhile I eat every hour or two, just something small, like 2 tbls of PB, as long as is under or around 200 calories. It keeps my energy sky high and I need it because I work three 12 hour shifts. I have gone up to 300 calories and I added up those calories and ate up to 5000 in a day! I never gain a pound when i do this. I just feel great. I do love food, that's what it is all about!

Isn't it true that the law of thermodynamics is why we lose weight?
Is L-Carnosine actually an essential amino acid?
Is this stuff coming from text books or what?

Yes.

No.

Don't know what you mean.

Taking a vitamin addition helps make up for the slowing making of these nutrients in the body. A vitamin supplement replaces those essential elements that were never produced by our bodies and replacing them becomes even more important as we grow older. Vitamins come in a variety of forms and each does something different but did you know they also work in conjunction with one another? This is one of the reasons why a balanced vitamin supplement is so important.
