Every day cardio

The reason is because I find that if I eat a lot of pasta, I bloat. Sometimes for days. But when I run, it goes back to normal again.

You bloat from pasta (like all carbs) because it is being stored as glycogen.

For every gram of glycogen stored, the body stores 4 grams of water. So you are "retaining" water, thus the bloat.

Exercise burns the glycogen which releases the water.

You likely notice this from pasta and not other foods because:

1) pasta is easily digestible
2) it is calorically dense
3) it is easy to overeat pasta

100% false. You are very much a bodybuilder, in ever sense of the word.

You simply are not a competitive bodybuilder, Jodi.

This is extremely good advice for me Twin Peak, thanx a million.

There is something also I noticed about certain foods that arent as carb-y as pasta. Certain foods I eat, my body does not respond well to. I have been listening to my body and foods like avacado or deep fried foods or even some nuts make me feel sluggish and lathargic (spelling?).

I feel very heavy and weighed down until after I have ran.

Is there a way to tell what causes this as well?

That could simply be food allergies.

Hey Kim, like you, I also do a lot of cardio. What part of San Diego are you in? I'm moving to downtown in a few days and need to find a good gym to join. Any suggestions?

Hi Aggies. My family is in Coronado. The Gold's Gym on Newport on ocean beach is really nice. Thats the one I go to :)

Allergies? Milk makes me feel tired as well. I dont think they are allergies. Its more of an internal tired-ness, overfull feeling that makes me want to go to sleep or just sit still rather than get up and walk around.
 
That is the result of food allergies.

It is very much unlike what you think of as an allergy.

My cousin goes to Powerhouse, but I dont know much about it. I can find out for you though if you like :)
 
Simply stated, many people have many unknown food allergies. Unknown because the symptoms are so subtle.

You should stay away from those things.
 
Stay away from anything that makes me sleepy? :lol: I actually do, Im just a bit annoyed because I LOVE Avacado's..

:cool: Thanks Kim. I'm in Sacramento right now and am moving this Saturday. I have to basically start a whole new life and find everything like the grocery store, gym, etc.

Good luck! Do you have any pictures? I'll keep a look out for you :)
 
Well...I like the lifting program I am currently on...even though i do the HIIT program probably too much..I have a large frame alot of muscle but way too much fat. That is my primary goal.

Great advice about fish oil..I had no idea it would help lower my body fat set point. I'll incorporate a ton more of it into my diet.
 
Kim, I have pics on my yahoo profile, but I seem to have probs posting some of those on here. I also have a webcam and dig cam though. Hah, I'm like 5 feet, around 107 lbs., blonde highlights, tan (if that helps). :laugh: Of course, everyone in San Diego seems to be blonde and tan. If you are curious, I can link you to my yahoo profile or someone can offer some advice on how to post my existing pics on there.

From an article I wrote:

Within skeletal muscle there are three types of muscle fibers: Type I, Type IIa and Type IIb. Everyone has their own unique distribution of these fibers, some people are predominately Type I, and some Type IIa, however the ???average person??? has an even amount of red and white fiber. Type I muscle fiber often referred to as slow-twitch or red fiber and is highly resistant to fatigue and has a high oxidative capacity, This muscle fiber is responsible for aerobic exercises and activities, such as running. Type IIa muscle fiber often referred to as fast-twitch or white fiber is an intermediate fiber and they???re larger in size and much stronger than Type I fibers. Type IIb muscle fiber, which are also fast twitch & white fiber, are capable of producing more force than Type IIa, but they???re low in oxidative capacity, and fatigue very quickly. Fast twitch fibers have thicker nerves that give them an increased contractile impulse, which is measured by the number of twitches per second, hence the name fast twitch fiber. Slow twitch fibers have smaller nerves, thereby twitch much slower, however they have a higher number of mitochondria, which increases their oxidative capacity. Mitochondria are the cells in a muscle that synthesize ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), often referred to as the cell???s ???powerhouse???.

Im trying to grasp the full understanding of what you told Kim, Prince.

Is there a way you can develop more (slow) red twitch fibers? I would assume that white fiber grows as you lift. What about red?

Fact of the matter is, my goal is not to become a bodybuilder. My goal is just to lose fat. Marathon runners dont have muscle, but they dont have fat either...
 
Yea, I wouldnt ming looking like a marathon runner either. :lol:

Im guessing the answer would be more running? I would like to know the answer to this too. Because hardcore runners have no fat at all. All the long distance runners I know eat whatever they want and are pretty buff.
