Acg67- Then you can go ahead and ignore my suggestion between the two breads. I put out my preference out there for others to consider, I supported it, and I still believe it, among all others, to be true. Even if wheat bread may inhibit absorption, I don't find it to be enough to block out the majority of all nutrients…

Due to the inhibition of absorption? When a study says "inhibited", it could be by less than .05 percent and still be a true statement. (.05 as a significance is what, in most states, legally holds up in court.) You have to pick and choose your goods and bads. I prefer wheat bread because I feel I get more out of it than…

I AM NOT SAYING THAT CARBS, STARCHY CARBS, YOLKS, OR WHITE BREAD IS BAD. I am trying to get it out that sometimes, some carbs should be taken over others, some fat choices should be made over others, and that you should not have a diet incorporating only white bread. Don't eat one thing or another and ignore alternatives…

These studies aren't large enough to be qualified as statistically significant, and though the insights into the studies may help an athlete or anyone for that matter reconsider their food choices, I'm not saying that everyone that reads this should only eat wheat bread or never eat egg yolks. Mineral absorption may not be…

I am not using those as a reference. I am referring to how the sugars and carbs are broken down besides the actual content of the food itself. And, "the average person" is not a good term for MFP, since everyone needs their own tweaks to a certain diet or exercise program to make it fit them best.
-
I'm saying that some diets work more for some than others will, and that a low GL diet is better for upkeep, especially when one has to do other things during the day that impedes their ability to be physically active. Carbs can be adjusted and, ignoring the idea of bread and potatoes, come from a variety of other sources.…
-
With wheat or whole grain, you get the unprocessed everything of the wheat, no just portions of it. You could also eat white bread, but you get more nutritionally from wheat. In a balanced diet, mineral absorption usually is able to work with an elastic metabolism. As for the yolks in the eggs, there's fat there which…

What are you talking about? Eating starchy carbs one day or another won't impact your health curve as long as you remain active, but eating only potatoes as a carb isn't "healthy" and you should try to derive your source of carbs from other sources. Starches can turn to sugar more quickly, despite having the same…

Starchy carbs are awesome for heavily engaged athletes and marathon runners, but I fail to see the necessity when planning an average lunch in a health upkeep nutritional program. Your article did not disprove my point at all, regardless of what you meant it to do. Additionally, you probably just typed "Starchy carbs" into…

Yoga is epic for toning too, even though it seems low effort. You'll feel the burn at the end of a good 45 minute workout.

Please come up with your own ideas!

I work stretching and cooldown into my exercises, so I'm not only stretching but I'm beginning to engage some of my muscles while doing so, getting my heart rate up. I don't do it exactly, but yoga is a good stretching warm up, and by the end of it you can feel the increased heart rate. -And don't quote "stretching…

Also, work on your core. Do crunches, pushups, planks, etc. Research for a full range of core exercises.

Start running. Awesome cardio if you stay in that range where you're tired, but not exhausted. Try 5-7 miles per hour for 20-30 minutes per day. Always stretch before and after.
-
It's fine, but balance out your intake of potatoes with wheat breads and egg (no yolk) or wheat noodles. Carbs are good for energy, but starchy carbs can add up quicker.
-
How tall are you? Because losing that much weight may not be healthy. You may want to focus more on toning what you have, replacing fat with muscle, than just throwing away body mass.
-
I wouldn't do it. The cleanse is more for high toxin levels in the body or for something right before heavy weight training. Supplements don't make up for the real serving of fish or chicken you could be having. It's truly all the same. Think "pure foods" like unprocessed meats and etc, and your body will be cleansed well…
-
Stretching, cardio, weights, cooldown, and then stretching. That way you don't injure yourself and your muscles stay engaged.
-
I would contact a trainer, because most videos are made for a broad population, and if you don't include a good deal of stress on the knees you leave out most of the muscle groups in your body, including major core and leg groups. Go into yoga. Despite the stretching idea of the routines, it is actually a fairly hefty…

3 lbs per week is incredibly unhealthy unless you have a significant weight difference between your now weight and your goal weight. Keep it around 1-2 lbs, but don't go overboard if you don't see results fast enough. Bodies need to adjust and some bodies won't lose weight like others do. Powerwalking is only beneficial…

I make my guy friends buy me things like that...

Friend me, babe. <3

Cut your weight in half and double your reps. I usually stay light, around 15-25lbs, regardless of the weight, and I'll go for about 5 sets of 15 reps each. After completing about 10 different exercises like this, my muscles are engorged with blood from activity and feel 'jittery'. The 'jittery' feeling you have is due to…

Save it for later, make it the snack for your end of the day.

I hope your stumble into fitness is just as successful. GL. ~AV

Do you understand how Facebook can completely absorb a day of the average person, age 13-50? Yea. This is how the site works for me. <3 Get addicted. It might save your livestyle. ~AV

HA I thought that too when I first started, but I have this thing where I can't let other people know that I don't know what's going on. So I BS'ed my way until I figured it out. ~AV

Hm... You said, "today I gained 2 pounds", which tells me that you probably weight yourself daily or fairly often. Therefore, the weight gain is most likely water retention. However, it could also be a variant of your last meals "sticking around" and causing the extra faux weight. Also. Even if you are eating under your…

There are names for what you did on the DVD. Look each exercise up individually and add it. Or get a HRM and calculate it yourself.
