It is not about what you eat, but what you do after you eat. Most people today eat like they are about to go out and plow a hundred acres with a mule...then go sit on a couch and drink beer. Diet will not help with that. Dave I agree. I sometimes wonder if exercise, itself, helps the body decontaminate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 I know it isn’t for everyone, that’s for sure. Just found some of the information very helpful. I started intermittent fasting about 8 months ago and cutting about 80% of the carbs out of my diet and I am down a little over 55 lbs. When I stepped on the scale and it said 247, I made some serious diet changes. With my height, 6’, I should weigh around 185 lbs and I am currently sitting at 192. Another month or two and I will be at my goal weight and that is when I start working with a trainer to start getting shape, not just weigh less. I just wish I would have seen this documentary earlier because I could have used some of the information, which would have made the process a little easier.

I did the same thing about 5 years ago, except I started about at 215-220 pounds and went down to 167. At 5' 10", I was too thin at 167, and people said so. I am at 185. I think that is my ideal weight. For building back my core, I started with the 2 videos below. Back then, I was so out of shape, I couldn't do all the exercises. I also included push-ups in my routine, and I had to do those from my knees until I built up some strength. They really don't take long, and there isn't a good excuse not to do something like this as a minimal regimen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerkinMuffley Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I think this chart is largely explained by changes in the commercial food system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The FDA is the chief cause of cancer in rats... Aspertame/nutrisweet turns into methol alcohol in your brain. Very small amount perhap, but I avoid it as much as I can. Chris, does the wife still eat white rice? We consume quit a lot here.

Bruce She cut way back on the white rice. She use to eat it 3 times a day. Now not much at all. Mostly small portions of brown rice. I introduced her to caraway, anise and fennel seeds and she likes to add it to the rice at the end to give it even more flavor. 16 hours ago, Jeff Matthews said: So how many of you tried the videos?

tigerwoodKhorns Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 These videos are available: The music stinks but the videos are great. I do the abs every day and the booty on the day that I work my legs out. Now guys, you cannot watch the videos unless you do them. No cheating, no pain no gawking!

tigerwoodKhorns Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I do these with my wife. I saw her doing the abs when I would go work out and told her they looked great. The abs are tough, and I have a slipped disc. I always do stretching and leg lifts and would get some back pain for the last 20 years. When I first started the ab videos, my back hurt, but I powered through. My back pain is not gone as my mids get stronger. These are really tough. Watch her do the exercises and it is amazing, She never rests at all between sets, or breaks a pose between the planking. Really good workouts. Plus is it great that I do this with my wife. Good time spent together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let that sink in.... Then do not bother. If that works for you than you are all good. I feel way better, my allergies are gone, and I have steady energy all day, plus my mood is much better. I had headaches and fatigue that was all sinus related and the doctors were quick to offer me pills saying nothing else could be done. With my slipped disc the doctors offered really heavy drugs, no gym and yearly cortisone injections in my spine. Plus I would never be more than maybe 80% pain free. I chose this instead. No pills, no doctors, I feel great and my wife also does the same thing and looks like an underwear model as a side benefit, so I like the benefits. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmi Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I work a very physical job, and I run circles around the younger workers, even after a bout with cancer and a pacemaker keeping the old ticker working. No need for workout videos in my active lifestyle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 We've cut down on the amount of rice we consume. We have some of the Beach Body DVDs, which help focus on exercise. We have a recipe for smooties that I do for breakfast 5 days a week. Not a mix, but separate ingredients. Due to work scheds we are having trouble with exercise, but it gets easier with longer daylight hours. In my last job I was doing about 25 miles a week just walking. The new one not so much, bit my weight is staying the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried the strychnine and gasoline diet personally, but it does make my lawn mower go faster. I agree with the artificial sweeteners being no good. I don't use them or sugar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just made beef and shrimp fried rice and used a small dash of ground anise for flavor. A little goes a long way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
