Alcohol alone could sabotage your efforts given its immediate conversion into glucose and increasing blood sugar levels. The simple math is this: every ounce of alcohol not including the mixers is 200 calories, a four ounce drink is now 800 calories and if you were to consume three or four in one night that is 3200…

You are doing a great job and looking good. Keep up the good work.

Your conclusion that he admitting to cheating is not borne out by any evidence, choosing not to continue the expensive legal fight is not admitting to anything. I think you need to check your logic, it is faulty. In fact, the 500 tests that returned negative is evidence of innocence not guilt.

When someone says something it is easily forgotten, when someone writes it down and prints it, it is not easily forgotten so writing down what you eat, drink, and your exercise gives you a record of behavior that can't be disputed if you are honest with yourself. I do it for weight training because it allows me to see my…

Machines are good to isolate muscles if you do not have experience with free weights. If need be, find a certified weight training specialist who knows how to teach you to lift regardless if you are using machines or free weights. Free weights are good for isolating muscles but you have to know how to do this without…

Strength training should be used by all that are able. Cardio pulmonary fitness is essential for fitness but body strength is what carries your bones around, provides for skeletal structure, increases bone mass (especially important to women), and provides the engine of fat loss. I am not suggesting that if you are under a…

Without a investment of nutritious food and weight training, one can't build muscle. The nutrition investment must exceed caloric burn to increase muscle mass otherwise one is expecting to gain from nothing. Muscle is gained when there occurs micro tears in the muscle tissue and when proper carbs, fats, and proteins are…

Cardio will not cause you to gain weight, only eating will do that.

Eat six times per day and use portion control and always mix protein with carbs and complex carbs are even better. Just divide up your total daily caloric intake and divide by five or six and there you go. I tend to eat most calories before 3 to 5 pm but my cardio/weight training is 5:30 am. and when you get hungry for a…

Stretch before and after your exercising. Next, make sure you breath a lot when exercising, oxygenation of the tissue along with good hydration is essential. I would also add a steam bath after your workout. Sweating the poisons out of your body is a good thing. In humans, fat holds poison so help your body by drinking…

Cardio is only half the solution, weight training or resistance training increases muscle mass which weighs more but is the engine of weight loss. Muscle burns fat all the time and is essential to fitness. Increase your weight lifting to every other day so you can heal on the off days. The reason weight lifting makes you…

Why be hungry, I lose two pounds each week and I am never really hungry unless is it just after working out. Eat six meals per day, just make them small. I also eat delicious foods.

Try grapenuts or some other low sugar cereal with blueberries, raspberries or any kind of berries (mixed is also good) with 2 percent milk or mix the cereals and mix the fruits. If you need protein add some (depending on exercise schedule) also keep the ration of carbs:fats;protein to this ratio, 2:1:1. Always find food…

Depends on whether you are exercising. But some basics are this: no breads, no sugars, no processed foods if possible, I eat fruit, vegetables and dairy: typically, two eggs with red and green bell peppers and onions (all sauteed). Fresh fruit (variety is important) no caffeine, and no cereals with sugar higher than fifth…

Dear Don't know what.... For seven years, I ate whatever I wanted and trained myself to like the sweet foods, the rich foods, stuff that tasted really good. This is after I had been fit and trim and I gained thirty pounds, blood pressure went off the scale, and I did not feel good anymore. I had to come to a decision about…
