Oh, wow. Well... have fun when you re-introduce carbs back into your diet. Your body is going to hate you.

I'm basically eating the same way I did before, minus Italian food, soda and bread. Not really planning on going back to that stuff. I feel better now. I'd rather feel better than eat that stuff.

Hopefully you didn't remove the olive oil from your diet. As for the rest, well of course. Its sugar and processed shit.

I see you saw yur walking but you really should think about starting some weight training, even if it's just some pushups and core traing. When I first got back into shape I did nothing but hike and diet for the for 6 months. I was in great cardiovascular shape but the first time I tried to do a pushup I about fell flat on my face. You'll not only feel better but you'll look so much better too. Bitches love muscles.

ANyone ever have wrist tendonitis? I thought it was gone, but it came back with a vengance last night. Pushups (palm down), skull crushers, close grip bench all seem to cause it to flare up. Today it's worse than it has been in a while, my whole wrist area is very tender.

I went through it with my elbows, it takes a while to clear up. Try taking asprin, it's about the only thing you can do along with rest.

For those trying to lose weight and struggling with diet discipline, more on the fasting diet.

A few years back I was woking 16 - 17 hour days trying to save my business (sales are up over 1000% in ten years as the low cost provider bar none). I gained 100 pounds eating every meal for months on end in my office or out with the guys in the breakroom. Started this and it came right off with no problem or effort. Once the weight came off, the muscle was able to be seen as it was packed on which just reinforced the whole process.

I have had several weeks of no food on mondays. Only water and black coffee. You really won't get much out of the gym doing this so i quit lifting and bathing the body in calories so I could build muscle (and an assload of fat), it is more of a quick and easy lifestyle change that hoses you one day of the week to allow you to eat and drink as much as you want the other 6 days a week. This isn't to get you ripped or whatever, just to strip off a bunch of fat really quickly and get you ready once your appetite is shrunken to drop the program and hit the gym

Supposedly good for cancer prevention and prolonging life and improving brain performance and happiness per the linked video.

I felt it really shinks your appetite overall. Like your stomach shrinks or something. You don't overeat on the eating days suprisingly. Never felt the desire to load up before bed on Sunday to make it through or anything. Would wake up Tuesday and wouldn't be any hungrier than anyother day of the week. Too simple but it worked.

It really only takes the one day of discpline this way. Sounds like a good plan for many Americans. . . . .

You can do it anyday (or 2 per this video; this video allows you 500 calories on your 2 fasting days during the week). I liked Mondays because it was often after an enjoyable weekend and I would find I really didn't even miss the food.6

i know a bunch of strippers who do this to regulate their weight. Though I think they still get a little protein on their fast day from dudes.

223.6 this morning as i have kept it off, I can't overeat anymore, almost like my stomach put the restrictive band around it nturaly without the surgery. 240 - 245 bascally the entire time at OSU. your mileage may vary. you won't find an easier plan for sure though. no need to lift or diet other than no food on Mondays.

probably not a long term way of life, but better than being fat.

So I've been doing this for the past month or so and it does seem to work. My biggest problem is that I know how much I usually eat so when I'm not on a fasting day I eat what I'm used to and end up being uncomfortably full.

This diet does seem to have the effect of shrinking your stomach because what I could eat a month ago and be full makes me over-full now, but my problem is I still eat it all. I need to force myself to cut back on the non-fasting days so that I am at most just full on non-fasting days.

The fasting day does suck, but I stick mostly to green veggies and lean protein to trick my stomach into not knowing that I'm not really giving it anything. Last year I lost 40 lbs in each of 2 diet contests at work and I have to say this is easier than trying to be good all the time for 12 weeks.

Even though I feel like I'm still eating too much on the non-fasting days I'm going down a lb or two a week. I'm going on vacation in 2 and a half months so I need to force myself to cut back on the non fasting days and see how much I can drop. 30-40 lbs would be great. The only trap days I have left between now and then are Easter, Cinco de Mayo, and Memorial Day weekend so if I can be good the rest of the time I should be able to lose a good chunk of weight.

B12, liquid doses. Helps "trick" your metabolism from bottoming out while not receiving calories. Just a thought, in case you might be looking for ways to help that.

Good job and great to hear. If I eat like I used to I get sick now.

After too much time off I started lifting again. Any routine comments?

Lift at home. Free weights only. Flat bench only. Lift without a partner.

Deadlift
Front squat
Bench press
Military press
Bent over row
Lat pullover

Warm up set, light set, heavy set, huge set, super light burnout set.

Roughly 15, 10-12, 8, and then 3 reps each. Burnout to fail / near fail.

30 - 45 seconds rest in between and change weights. Cardio like intensity. Sip water between every set.

Never more than 40 45 minutes for full body. Don't like split routines cause some times i have to miss for whatever reason. Generally M W F lifting.

Thoughts / suggestions.

On fasting day i can be quick to snap so i tried to avoid meetings and people that irritate me. Realize its you and not them and just deal with it.

Oh and Metallica's Broken Beat and Scarred is the best weightlifting song of all time.

I find the South Beach Diet works very well for us guys. The women...not as well. Basically a low carb diet will take the weight off quickly with minimal fuss and suffering. :tongue2:

last summer when I was wanting to take off a few pounds I went on the chicken breast, smoked salmon, hard boiled eggs and cottage cheese diet with lots of greens and the weight just fell off and I was never hungry
