  • Hi (again0 Forgot to add that I started just over 4 years back at close to 200lbs weight. Waist heading towards 40". Rising blood pressure and slowing down. Its been a long term approach of small changes in diet/exercise to develop habits for good health that are sustainable - more a marathon than a sprint. Also still…

  • Waiting on a train with my wife and her parents when mum looks at daughter and says "you know dear you do so remind me of your father......" followed by "...and I find it really infuriating". The whole carriage burst into laughter.

  • Oh! one other consideration for muscle recovery is to 'roll out,' particularly on the sore spots, after the exercise.
    in Recovery Drinks, any advice? Comment by jasati August 2014
  • Whey protein can aid muscle recovery after a workout and, if on a low carbohydrate lifestyle, chocolate milk within an hour of finishing is also acceptable to aid the replacement of the glycogen used. Hope this helps. Regards.

  • Lifting is a good cardio exercise, recovery time is important, separate the days on which you do cardio from weights, work more intensely for shorter periods when lifting, vary the cardio when running - terrain, speed, hills for enjoyment, eat quality food, be patient with yourself, regular training is part of a lifestyle…

Even on low carb no two individuals are the same so it is finding the balance that works for you. The impact of a low carb intake on both weight loss and diabetes is well proven…

  • Hi All Recommend reading "The Art & Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" by Jeff S. Volek PhD RD & Stephen D. Phinney MD PhD. They have also co-authored "The Art & Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance". The first book is directed at health professionals but is very readable for the layman. The second book is directed…
