They called it Carb loading not sugar loading. Sugar is one form of carb but ask if any one who is trying to build muscle to use refined sugar as carb source. There are different types of carbs like high in glucose carbs and low Glucose carbs. If you consume soda or juice rich in 'Sugar' we would get our high energy for a…

Hi, I not telling that cut all sugar, i am telling we will get enough sugar form other sources so it is good to reduce processed food and sugar. i agree that refined sugar is same as what we get from fruits. Lets take an orange and orange juice raw orange: Calories 85 Sodium 0 mg Total Fat 0 g Potassium 326 mg Saturated 0…

If he is so bad why are they inviting him to give speech in 'TED' or in BBC. He is not giving a bad suggestion all he says is to stop over consuming sugar. There is no harm in trying it. I m not telling he is 100% correct but what he says makes some sense. Has any one who is building muscle eat processed food daily? NO How…

Hi, The first link is a presentation by Mr. Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology. The second link is a documentary by BBC about over consumption and effect of sugary drinks/ food. If you don't believe that Harvard research then read this…

Hi, Fruits and vegetables have fiber which cuts the sugar spike. Its true insulin does not make you hungry in itself but when it is produced more than it is needed due to sugar spike. Then this insulin will transport all the glucose in blood to storage and if you have more insulin it will transport more glucose to storage.…

Hi, The sugar from fruit and vegetables is made of fructose and lot of fiber,minerals. This will help metabolize the sugar that you get from fruits/vegetables more easily and slowly. Just for information, we don't need sugar to survive body converts everything that we eat to glucose and store it as glycogen. Sugar just…

Hi, I found this interesting video about sugar. It is said in that sugar is both carb and fat. Sugar is made of one unit of glucose joined to one unit of fructose. So when we metabolize sugar it divides it into glucose and fructose. The glucose gets concerted to glycogen and it is used for energy of day to day activity.…

Hi, I would try to tweak the workout and diet a little to kick start weight loss again. Also i wont be bothered about weight as long as its muscle and bone weight. To reduce fat do weight training for 3-4 days a week and do cardio 20 mins everyday for 5 days. For diet i would recommend 6 small meals with 40% protein 40%…

Hi, I joined this indian weight watch few weeks back. I dont know if this is a late reply but here goes. First thing i noticed from your post is that you do a way too much cardio. If you really want to lose weight and keep it off then do cardio 2 - 3 days a week. Running is good but not good way to lose weight. Do 3 days…

Hi, The first thing to do is to weigh yourself. Then set a long term goal and a short term goal. For example i weigh 191.5lbs and 5' 6". My long term goal is to reach 160 lbs by another 5 months. My short term goal is to lose 2lbs in every week until i cant lose 2 lbs. I am doing cardio,weights and some balance workouts 5…

Hi, I am doing insanity + P90X now. I was wondering if T25 is as good as insanity? Please share your thought on T25.

Hi, I did have success using Insanity. I would only recommend it to people with high determination. Its not for faint heart. Also I had tried some DVDs in P90x and Rushfit both proved to be good as they say. Try Rushfit if you love MMA. If you don't want all this and just want to loose few pounds Jillian Michaels 30 Day…

Hi, If you compare P90x and Rushfit then you will find both are very similar but has thier own differences. Both program has different calandar for different level while P90x is a 90 days and rushfit is 60 days program. If you have more time and money to invest then P90x will do wonders on the other hand Rushfit require…

Thank you... i have completed month 2 and i have started Insanity and P90x Hybrid. I am into week 3 of it and its great. I am planning to finish this and do one more round of Insanity... lost nearly 22 pounds so far.

Hi, I have completed insanity yesterday and i have lost nearly 20lbs , 3 inches of my waist and 4.5 inches of my hip. I am now overweight and not obese. I am planning to do p90x and insanity hybrid for next 12 weeks. I hope i will lose another 15 lbs to 20lbs in that process. I have also learnt to eat clean by avoiding…

Some women avoid weight training because they are afraid that it will make them look too muscular. Because of their lower levels of testosterone, women doing moderate levels of weight training are unlikely to build bulky muscles. For most people, weight training isn’t about building visible muscles and looking like Arnold…

Hi, Women by nature cannot bulk up. They dont have the hormones which help bulking up. I have never seen any women with a body like Arnold or WWE star Rock. Cardio will only help in reducing body fat but when people grow old the muscle will also grow thin. Thats when the problem will starts with joints. Its better to do…

Happy that i have completed 4 weeks of Insanity Workout today. Have lost few pounds and few inches of the waist. Really scared going into 2nd month of insanity...

Thank you everyone. I thought 30 DS was easy and did not consider other workouts. I am going to consider 30 DS and RUSHFIT. I will compare them and find which one i should buy. Thank you, sgarrard01 for the comparision between Insaity,P90x and RUSHFIT. I am not considering p90x as i dont have enough budget to buy all…

Hi all, I am in week 2 day 5. thank you all fr your support. I am able to see the difference in enery level that i have during the day. Also i am able to complete warmup without breaks and most of the workouts without breaks. Thats a great improment for me. I only stuggle during level 1 and level 2 drills. I will keep…

Hi all, After great struggle i completed day 5 insanity just now. Feels gr8 achievement. Even though i took rest whenever my heart rate went beyond 175bpm (like 4 breaks in 15 mins and avg heart rate of 162bpm) i am feeling gr8. I was able to do push up jacks today (fyi i was not even able to push ups 6 times on day 1). I…

Hi, My name is Sada, I am 28 year old(M). I had problem with my thyroid during my college days. Doc told they have to remove complete thyroid to save the life so they removed thyoid( which is worst than hypothyroid) I am taking my med for about 4 years now. I had problem with my weight for a long time. I am able to reduce…

Hi All, I have done day 4 yesterday and today is day 5 pure cardio... I saw the video of day 5 and was shocked to see no breaks in between exercies. I dont know if i can keep myself going like that. After day 4 i am relaxed and filled with lot of energy. Already able to feel my body transforming. It feels litte and am…

Hi, Thank you all for the tips. I was sore and tired before coming home from office. I completed day 03 - Cardio Power & Resistance today. I was able do warm up faster then yesterday and took just one break in warm up. I drank like 4 bottles of water and during workouts i did not hit pause and took extra break like 1 min…

Hi, I just started my first insanity. I have done just day2 and planning to do day 3. Any advice for me if you have already completed insanity. I am hardly keeping up with the guys in the video. took nearly 6 extra breaks and drank nearly 3 L of water. Please guide me along with your workout...
