50% of fat? could you give me a link to see the explanation about it. I can hardly believe that someone would put himself on that regimen in order to lose weight. And, I think that so much fat is not really healthy especially that fat in TOTAL usually goes with saturated and trans fats along, what could sabotage your blood…

I am waiting for Protocol #4 : Jenny ~ 30 - 50 years/ lean(From 19 to 24% BF / active :flowerforyou:

THIS! You need to eat carbs few days before taking a long run, to fill up your glycogen depots.

do you all measure your RHR right away after waking up, or during sitting and resting? Mine is 43 after waking up, and around 58 during sitting and doing nothing. so, which of these is my RHR?

thank you for this, and bump for later

you can't eat fish? Most fish has less fat than lean red meat. the higher-fat fish like salmon is the one with the greatest heart benefits -- they are high in a substance called omega-3 fatty acids, which protects against heart disease. i have the high cholesterol, family type, but I was advised just the opposite: to eat…

I feel you because I started at 130 aiming to get down to 120. I have a simple but strict routine: I plan my daily meals ahead. This morning, for example, I decided to bake a chicken for main meal, so I put it in the diary and plan the rest of the meals around this. My diary is almost full for today (here is the morning),…

you've might seen that I was wearing my friend's Polar HRM for yesterday's cardio interval training, and Polar gave me similar total of burned cals, only 450 for 80 minutes of the exercise which was much harder than a stable slow run of 5-6 miles per hour. i'll check it out with my doctor to see. I just hope that she is…

Among other things, I work also as a copywriter and lately as a SEO and onsite copywriter too. In my language there is no good translation for what I do, so we call it simply a "copy". So: Client who needs complete copy-writing for his web site: how much do you charge for it? Me: $$ per hour or $$ per word or $$ per…

I am glad that you're glad ;-) edit: because I lost you in your conversation with tonya, didn't have a clue what were you two talking about. :laugh:

Meerkat, yes, you're probably right, that was my idea too, but after tonya said earlier: => I took it for granted. But, still, I will ask my doctor next time about your these findings ... when I found out that having high blood pressure caused by hypercholesterolemia (genetic type) I was prescribed to take Presolol, beta…

Hey! I borrowed Polar HRM from friend for today's cardio at gym: and here is what it says: 1h20min => 450 cals. Before I did setup for my profile. And, it was really hard, interval training (30 min on inclined treadmill running at level 8 + lounges at level 12 + fast walk level 10 ... max is 15) all x3. Than really hard,…

thank you very much again! just because I was put in a high risk group for heart disease, i also did resistance test (not sure do you call it this way, it is the test you do to see how fit you are and how much your blood pressure go up during resistance training, and, also, recovery time). so, I got really good marks for…

fit, not feet (my written english could be more improved). I'm still laughing, thank you all for ignoring the stupid mistake.

yes, this is me from last summer, 120 lbs, so called skinny fat. What I do now is trying to figure out what to do and how much to eat to bulk my muscles without getting new fat. I hope that my goal is not unreal. But I need to know my body first. This topic helping me in this and people were very helpful. From the other…

thank you for this! since you're an expert, i will appreciate if you spare few more moments and take a look at the graphs I posted above I got from my device, to see what is going on according to this. you really helped me.

if it helps you to help me :flowerforyou: , (I hope photos will show up correctly): 1. this one bellow is from my interval running training few days ago (40 min, av. HR 120, max HR 157, 236 cals total) => I ran 500 m fast + 2 min rest 2. here is my HR from yesterday (2 hours, av. HR 100, max 143, 422 cals total) => first…

Lolli, this post and kind answers made me to double check my profile setup. I did it everything right except my "activity class" => these are described here (garmin uses that technology): http://www.firstbeat.fi/userData/firstbeat/download/white_paper_training_effect.pdf (take a look at the page 2) So, I was wrong choosing…

Last time I ran 5.6 miles per hour and the running surface was totally flat +/- 1 m. does' it help to calculate? i ran 60 min total, 5.7 miles.

I'm taking Crestor 5 mg every evening, and two soft gel capsules of fish oil (Omega defend). That's all.

meerkat, I have two-three running routines: long run: once a week I run longer (8-10 km = 5-6 miles) and it takes me around one hour, so I run slow. during that training I have a max pulse of 140 (it is pretty consistent from the begging to the end) and with warming up and cooling down it gave me 120 average. short…

this is just my saturday routine, cause I have time and really enjoy it. during week i do it for 45 min, no time for more.

I think that I am putting it by the book. It catches the pulse normally, showing my rest pulse around 60-65, and than goes higher during work out... but, I've never seen that it went over 158, never ever. even when i was out of breath or totally exhausted...

No. I am at the risk group for hight blood pressure (145/90) Not taking for it any medications yet. But do taking medications for high cholesterol. Maybe that? It was 100, a year ago, I mention that in my upper comment. Now it's 60-65. I am 45, 172 cm (5'6), 58 kg (130 lbs) and i'm feet, but not THAT feet, far from that :-)

thank you all. I started all of this fit-journey a year ago because of my high blood pressure and high cholesterol. when i found out that had high blood pressure, my rest pulse was 100 at that time and everybody around me were worried about that. maybe i'm not pushing myself hard enough, because when I see my pulse over…

well, this! :-)))

Just a quick note that after 7 days of changing the carb/protein ratio (30/40), I got back -- I lost 2 gained kg in a week eating most of my exercise calories back, starting from 1350 net + exercise calories. the most important thing is that my BF was yesterday 21.6%, dropping from 24.6% just in three weeks of eating more,…

bump

bump for later

oh, yes, sure. i did just a test for one hour, to see the difference and to be sure that it is really taking into calculation my bpm when calculating burned calories. and it does, so i'm fine ;-)
