Tips...Tips on Loosing it Posted on 02-09-2005
In Rod We Trust

Hehehe do yall like the name of this thread Ok since we have tips on beauty and fashion why not discuss weight. I'm at the point where I don't like the way my clothes fit me..and I've gained fucckin 20 pounds since I've been in college. went from 175-190 in about 4 months So now I'm at the gym everyday for at least an hour doing straight cardio.. I want to know what are your tips on loosing weight?...I'm trying to be 170 by the time May rolls around here... So I figured u leave your tips ...here are a few of mine -Stop eating after 7pm....a majority of the time eating after 7 is what causes you to gain your most weight - Stop snacking...no candy bars..chocolate none of that. Try eating fruit instead - Cut back on the potatoes...I know thats hard since thats all they stuff us with at college but try and leave it alone.. - Eat more salads...grilled foods...try and stay away from carbs ( bread potatoes..ect)... -Do 30 minutes of Cardio at least 4 times a week...stretch before and after... -Don't try and lift weights if your trying to loose weight...lifting weight causes you to gain muscle...which in thus causes you to gain weight -Stay away from OODLES AND NOODLES..its been proven that those things cause you to gain weight because of all the sodium that they have...that goes for the easy mac as well -Drink water...stay away from soda...try drinking more juice/water Thats all I can think of right now....Oh yeah have any of you thought about taking any dietary supplements? I've seriously been considering taking trimspa..but I'm not sure...what do you think?

:arrow: No carb, low carb is definately the way to go if you want to lose weight and have it not take you forever to lose it. Try going no carb for the first two weeks and then low carb after that. You won't just lose the weight and then gain it right back because after reducing your carb intake for so long your body will not be able to take them like it used to. I know this from personal experience. I started doing low carb almost 2 years ago and in a yr I had lost over 30 lbs. People I knew couldn't believe how different I looked. So yeah low carb really does work, you just gotta be disciplined. :arrow: And also on eating late, your body really doesn't know what time it is. So the reason people say don't eat late is because you shouldn't eat and then just go to lay down and sleep and that applies to any time of the day. So if you do eat late, just make sure it's a couple hours before you plan on going to sleep. :arrow: Stay away from white foods: white bread, white rice, white pastas, etc.
