Thread: Time to get my arse in gear.

Hello???

That's a fairly broad question, which is probably why you've not gotten a response so far. I'm a bit of n00b when it comes to bodybuilding, but give the book Nutrient Timing a shot.

Workout start a resistance and cardio routine regularly...and follow a healthy way of eating. I mean if you don't want to limit your foods there isn't much we can tell ya for losing weight now is there? I understand you don't want to go on a competition cut but you do need to manage your foods and the amount of calroies you take in. Keep a calorie deficient diet and do some exercises and you should shed some lbs.

(I'm a bit over now because I just had my third child) Anyway, what I think sucks about Atkins is that I don't want to do it anymore, but I have NO IDEA how to eat any other way. I think that's whay a lot of people gain their weight back after "going off" Atkins. They think that they can still eat all the cheese, bacon, etc. That's my take on it.

I've just come across this...you should have mentioned you were on atkins. You don't need to cut out carbs all together to lose weight...you just need to consume the proper carbs as well as the proper amounts with a regular exercise routine.

I'm no longer on Atkins. I went off when I was pregnant for my daughter and decided to try something different to lose this baby flab. I had just been on it so long that I'm having a hard time trying to establish a healthy diet now. I swear I have carbphobia...

I don't mind limilting foods. I have pretty good willpower.
