that's good too, or one can take a bottle of water with them, with a little
gator ade added to it.
Good for him. I know it is hard and he has young kids but it seems that what he IS doing of the program it is working. This post proves my point.
I'm just looking out for my peeps here on CanCon.
Come on Anna... when have I ever spammed? I am enthusiastic about it no doubt because I was a little over weight, my BP was creeping, my cholesterol was a little up there and the Doc was giving me three months to straighten my act out before he put me on BP meds. Well I did this and it worked.
I completely agree. I NEVER thought I'd be an exercise in front of the TV guy. This program is different.
Well, I'd buy "part of the point"- the other part being to make humungus money for themselves. A guy could accomplish the same thing by mixing a little honey in his water. Lets face it, it costs them 2 cents to make the drink and sell it for couple of bucks. I was born at night but it wasn' last night. :lol::lol::lol:
maybe the govt could give tax incentives to people who work hard to make their lives healthy and proper.
and tax the hell out of those who do the opposite!

When a person exercises on a treadmill or in front of the T.V. it's a one dimensional activity- exercise. I think it is a lot easier to "swallow" if you can make it a four dimensional activity - exercising, exploring, socializing, and doing errands.
The treadmill is great and if that is all one person can do then they should but as you said it is one dimensional. If a person can really buckle down on his/her diet and mix up their exercise it would be more beneficial. I honestly think it was the change in diet that made the weight loss. It was the training program that made the loss strictly fat loss and not muscle loss.
Absolutely - I suggested just that years ago. But how would it be regulated? Sure as sh*t these health spas and fitness centres would get into the act and a lot of people would be getting a tax break for doing very little more than drinking coffee and watching videos of fitness. :lol::lol::lol: The only way it would work would be with heart monitor strapped on you and plugged into Ottawa. :lol::lol::lol:
I agree with you completely, JLM. The only time I lose weight and keep it off is when I am consistently doing something; yard work, hiking, prospecting, housecleaning, etc. I never could get my head around doing exercises in my house, and I am of the Jane Fonda work-out generation. Losing weight is effortless when I am working hard at something.
That whole malarky began with "you don't need to eat a piece of meat any bigger around than your fist". My son believed that and his wife really believed it. She's not much of a meat eater and meat is costly so she was all for less meat. I told them over and over that he was not eating enough protein and compensating for it by filling up on carbs. They wouldn't listen and soon he was 100 pounds overweight. His current "diet" - he has to eat considerably more low fat protein than he did. So he eats considerably cheaper cuts of meat sometimes (slow oven roasted to tender) and like us - the BBQ a lot but - they don't eat burgers. He can eat the turkey burgers I eat. Almost every veggie or piece of fruit you eat is nothing but carbs but there is a big difference between healthy carbs and the not so healthy. White pasta being amongst the not so healthy. White bread too. I only caught part of a thing on TV the other day. It said that to lose weight, our diets should be 25% carbs and 75% protein. The statement was that carbs slow down our metabolism which I can see. I have my cereal for breakfast, salad, cottage cheese and a slice of bread for lunch. Pretty much total carbs and sometimes, I'm starving and I could really rip into some really bad food. That's when the almonds come in handy.3 fist sized meals a day? roflmao So it makes no difference whether these meals are made of pure lard or spinach? That's freakin hilarious.
cfl is on the right track, although a bit extreme, IMO. I see nothing wrong with having the odd burger, chunk of pie, or bag of cheesies as long as you keep track of your caloric intake. Eat a big fat steak with a stack of spuds and cauliflower or something if you like or even a salami sausage. Once in a while it doesn't hurt. But count the calories and increase the exercise to compensate for the extra ones. And try not to have too many occasional bites of processed foods.
It's not brain surgery. There's no mystical secret.
Yep, something like that, but from what the great medical expert has been telling us the doctor would likely charge $30 for filling out the form- it would be tough. :smile:
VanIsle - you don't need a LOT of meat, two or three ounces a day is lots as long as you are getting a regular feed of fowl, fish, eggs, cheese etc. Some red meat is important for vitamin B 12 and apparently for CoQ10. Put some peanut butter on your toast, eat a handful of (shelled) peanuts daily. There are all kinds of sources of protein. Actually a piece of meat the size of a deck of cards is good. Oh yeah, one other thing, the old scare about egg yolks is bullsh*t, so a couple of docs have told me. You don't want to eat 18 of them a day but nothing wrong with 5 or 6 a week.
It's a lot more difficult to maintain the weight, after you get to that # you work for.
I just wonder how much work it's going to take to do that.

Not too much if you recognize that it's a lifestyle change and you start being a slightly different person. If you don't feel too disciplined on the food intake end, crank up the activity regimen- as long as you are in good health that part is easy.
it's not hard at all, 'if' one loses the weight slowly, on a normal diet, with some
adjustments, and cancelling out foods that are truly junk and empty in any nutrition whatsoever.
By the time one gets to 'target' weight, one is used to the eating habits that got him/her there.
But, what you say definitely happens, when one goes on a fad diet, with strict starvation tactic,
and food that is very uninteresting, because a person cannot eat that way all the time, and in time
it becomes so boring and frustrating, that it cannot be continued.
again, the Canada Food guide lays it out quite nicely.

Sorry VanIsle, I guess I misunderstood your quote-"That whole malarky began with "you don't need to eat a piece of meat any bigger around than your fist". My son believed that and his wife really believed it.".
Well, in this case there's no room for essential fats. Ideally, EFAs should be consumed daily in proper amounts.
