    in Fake Fat Makes you Real Fat Comment by ArlVAMom June 2011
  • rachy_09 check out the Rosedale Diet. www.drrosedale.com He explains very well how carbs can make you hungry, make you eat more, and make you gain weight. Everyone is different but I personally find I feel better when I cut my carbs. It is hard to maintain because carbs are everywhere, but I just do the best I can. I feel…

  • I have a slightly different perspective. I have fair skin and three of my good friends have had skin cancer. Because of that, I wear board shorts and a rash guard pretty much every time I go to the pool or beach. I love the freedom of not worrying that my gut is hanging out, but even more, I love knowing that I'm covered…

  • I do best when I cut as many starchy carbs as possible. any kind of processed carb just makes me hungry and crave more! So now I focus on protein, veggies, and healthy fats. I think my diary is public...feel free to check.

  • I drink lite beer, or a fun summer drink is to ask for a "white wine spritzer" - white wine mixed with soda water. Often it will come served on ice with a twist of lime. It's good with sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio. Basically just waters down the wine a little and adds some bubbles. At home, sometimes I will mix my white…

  • L1D4 for me. I am a bit behind you all, hope that is okay. someone said somewhere that if you get past day 4 it really gets better and it does! I also decided yesterday to train for a triathlon (yes I am crazy) so after doing Shred in the morning, I went out for a run/walk (C25K W3D1) yesterday as well! Nuts! The funny…

  • L1D3. I am able to get through the workout okay, but all day my legs, especially my quads, are KILLING me! I can barely walk! It is hilarious. I am strugging through squats and lunges but able to do it, and I might up the weight on some of the arm moves, 3 lbs for a bicep curl is not very much and my arms are pretty strong…

  • I used soup cans the first day, then went out and got 3 lb weights and those are perfect. I am going to get some 5 lbs for some of the exercises like the bicep curls, I think I can handle that.

    in 30 Day Shred - Starting Around June 13th Comment by ArlVAMom June 2011
  • Hi there, I am new so take it all with a grain of salt. :-) You're eating a lot of processed crap - that's why the calories are high! And you're hungry because you're eating a lot of sugar and processed carbs and not very many filling veggies or proteins. I am a classic yo-yo dieter, sadly, but I've learned along the way…
