  • You are asking open ended questions so you will get the wide array of opinions. But I just had a discussion about number 3 with my dietitian this morning. You need fiber, and with fiber you get carbs.. so yes you need carbs, but high fiber carbs and not a ton of it.. ( the high fiber way to lose weight is a strategy )..…

  • I am just saying this type of interval workout might be problematic for the calorie calculation on your HRM. working out in the 50-80% zone is a much different burn than 90%. and the intense interval might be skewing the numbers. one HRM might deal with this better than others. There are people who do the short high…

  • The issue seems to be with the measurement of your workouts. First, doing 1 min at 90% and then slowing down is problematic. it is exercise, but you need to sustain the 90% rate with effort for enough time to get into the fat burning zone. but lets say your goal is not to get into the fat burning zone.. I think it is still…

  • it is also that people are trying to be sensitive. so they will generally avoid talking about weight and most physical issues if there is a not a positive comment or compliment. It is no different when people see someone with a walker, cane, or wheelchair. If they are elderly you don't think anything of it.. but when they…

  • Lower back surgery is basically a 50/50 shot. Okay.. if you have not done PMR in a while you should try and get back and they will give you a routine.. You need to do that routine forever.. keeping your legs, core, and lower back as strong as possible is priority one. Also, no pain no gain is not the mantra for people with…
