Ches you defended posting it that's the rub, had you posted it ( I almost made the same comment north did yesterday but left it alone) north said it was trash ,, me myself I think you should have asked why but you went on the defensive
don't have a problem with you promise you I dont,
For the everyday average joe a sensible diet eating 3 times a day getting as little as 2 hrs a week exercise is plenty 99.9% of everything else we get shoved down our throat is bullshit, best believe the target is women and knowing how insecure and sensitive women can be in regard to their weight ,,
I'm sure you have been to a gym and had a trainer approach you ,,
ever notice the stupid shit you see them doing with complete novice people?
what is the purpose of that person trying to balance on a upside down 1/2 medicine ball to do a body weight squat? In your everyday life is that function necessary ? Of course not,, peace offering promise not trying to make a enemy

Co-sign. Good to see somebody getting this right. Cardio mostly burns glucose for the first 20 min then it starts to burn more fat than glucose. That's why if you don't lift weights you should do cardio for more than 20 min.

In that case cardio is better done first thing in the morning before breakfast when the body is low on glycogen. (Stored glucose)

Like you said cardio only burns muscle under extreme conditions, get some fast burning carbs after an intense cardio workout and you will be good to go.

Edit: the only part I would disagree with is the last part. The body only breaks down muscle if you don't get carbs after a workout. It doesn't have anything to do with fats being depleted.

I wish I had the means to measure this. I can only go off when I did the ketosis diet. I consumed nothing but proteins and fats at the time for 5 days a week with carbs on the weekend. At the time, I was running 25 miles a week minimal which comes to 100 miles a month.

Without the carbs, I was able to shred fat while and pack on muscle without any sacrifices because I was using fats for energy. If it takes 3500 calories to lose a lb of fat, I imagine it takes atleast 7000 calories to lose a lb of muscle.

I'm not disagreeing with you, maybe it just depends on the diet.

And why should I give a damn about any of your weight loss advice over a guy who's had 27 successful years in the weight loss business? Furthermore, why do YOU have a damn that I posted the link to the article?? If you don't agree with it, be mature and say "I disagree with this." and move on.

You started the nastiness with me last year and have made some ugly jabs for no reason. I'm just giving back what you've been dishing out, son. I don't care to be respectful or nice any more.

I never asked you to give a damn. *shrugs*

If I see false information being posted, I'm going to call it out. I had much more to add to my original post and wanted to go into detail but life called. *shrugs*

It fills me with glee to see that I, an complete stranger to you who does not write out your checks or keep an roof over your head has such an strong hold over you that I ignite an fire in your eyes every time you see or think about me. You've become a sad puppy, constantly feigning for my attention whereas, I don't even think about you. I still wish you peace and happiness tho.

No gimmicks just hard work no getting around it

WTH are you smokin' chile??? That's too funny! You stay in that little dream world of yours....

 

[Unique4ever]

I don't have a problem with you and you don't affect me in any type of way. You and Unique been acting as some vindictive scorned lil bitches lately and need to get over your hard on for me by carrying your personal beefs with me from thread to thread. It's tired.

How the fuck did I get in here again?
I didn't even comment in this debate until now.
You really feel the need to bring me into this?

The other day you said that I supposedly complained about your first "white queen" thread.
Which is not true, cause I never even entered it.

Then you accused me of bashing Cherok which was also a lie that you couldn't back up.

It's like you are bored and ask for some trouble.
We know you are an attention whore, but damn kid....... smdh

Ok, you were using ketones for energy. You must be good at sticking to strict regimens. Diets like that put your body in a different mode.

For this diet to work it would have had to be designed for you to generate ketones and get enough protein for the extra protein you would be burning due to lack of carbs. (Which shouldn't be much because of the ketones available for energy) During the week you wouldn't be getting the benefit of an insulin spike after workouts due to the lack of carbs but I guess the compensation for it on the weekends worked out well for you.

How long did you stay on this diet?

 

[Beasty]

In other news my 5 rep max on Squat is up to 495, feel like I could have done more tho

Living up to your user name! :smt023

Damn your 1 rep max is between 550 to 600lbs!

I stayed on the diet strictly for 3 months straight at a time.

Props to you Sir and I wish you the best during your journey.






Goal: Break fucking necks, figuratively and literally.

Started: 2002, with push ups here and there, some light benching on my Dad's rusty ass bench.

Original Weight: I'm guessing around 160lbs during that time.

Current Weight: I haven't used a scale since December...I'm guessing 190ish.

End Goal: I would look pretty sexy I might say at 215lbs of solid muscle.

Current Bench: 0

Goal Bench: I don't bench.

Current Products Taking : Body Fortress whey protein ($35 for 6lbs @ Walmart.com with free shipping)

Areas of Difficulty Growing: My legs and back are my weakest links.

Current Picture: I don't have any pics at the current time.





Weekly progress:
Leg pressed 910lbs this week...90lbs to 1,000. Cardio is still shit. Visibly added some some size to my back and chest. Legs look like crap. One armed shrugs with the smith machine is the shit! Almost have a 6 pack again...going for 8 this year.

I came a long way, over 10 years in the making.

It's been a little while but I caught my reflection today in the mirror and had to applaud myself. Still working on toning and defining but I am celebrating my progress.

I've been there. If it weren't for seeing the results, I would've given up a trillion times. I tried and failed a few times before finally succeeding. I had a lot to lose so it felt daunting most days but once I put my all into it, the weight literally fell off easy breezy. It's been a few years and Ive managed to keep it off so I'm proof that dedication works. If you feel as good as you look, you're golden! Gorgeous girl, just gorgeous.

Totally understand I've done this yo yo act before between being super healthy and working out on a regular basis to strict diet. I gave myself a mission to be fabulous at 40 and I am trying to be fly by the time I see my baby next May. I'm getting there, but I really had an ah ha moment when I turned 40. I wanted to be healthier so I could live longer to be around for my children and their children! It's quite a daunting task when you look at it from the big picture and you feel overwhelmed and sometimes even defeated when you see such a big hill ahead. But when you take it in stride and celebrate the small victories, it becomes just another thing to do at the beginning or end of your day.

And THANK YOU so much for the encouragement!

Thank you Since you are so silly!

Thank you sweetie! I'm working on it!
