i agree about the carbs over mcdonalds. good call on the multivitamins too.

i make it a point to eat like two different fruits a day as well as an assortment of veggies all organic of course and i'm happy i'm not poor because i couldn't eat the way i eat. eating badly makes me feel like a sloth

So exactly how bad is eating after 10-11:00 PM at night? I've been balancing my diet more and going to the gym 4-5 a week, but I still have the habit of eating before bed but usually its just a yogurt or some fruit.

the only thing that matters is how many calories you take in a day doesn't matter when you eat them. people suggest not eating at night because they think people are eating additional calories.

The whole issue with the night thing is if you go to sleep right after you intake calories there's this perception that sleeping right after you eat gets you fatter...that's what I keep hearing.

doesn't matter to my understanding

I also heard that somehow, somewhere . Your metabolism doesn't slow when your asleep, but it does make it more difficult for your body to digest foods once your lying down in bed. This could result in stomach cramps and a general bloated feeling when you wake up the following morning.

Perhaps something light like fruit & water before you go to bed shouldn't do too much damage, but as far as I'm aware any of the above wouldn't cause you to pile on the pounds.

My friend finally convinced me to try Crossfit workouts last week and I've been doing most of the WODs (Workout of the Day) when they're posted. Yesterday was a 15K run, which is about 9.32 miles. I absolutely hate running, but I have forced myself to run a lot this summer, in addition to swimming.

Anyway, I ended up running 8 miles on the track... so I was about 2k meters and change short of hitting the 15K. Either way I was really happy with my results because the last time I ran 8 miles was on the football team when I was in high school.

Anyone do the Crossfit workouts? Thoughts on it? I really like the combinations of the compound movements and endurance activities. I've been sort of trying to incorporate it with my normal workouts at the gym, but after some of the WODs I am almost completely drained.


Oh yeah, I achieved my goal of losing 20 lbs starting from the start of summer. I still feel like the same fatass so I'm still making an effort to lose more weight... down about 25 lbs now.

Everyone should ride a fuckin bike that way they won't be fat and midget !!

That is false. take 2 types of foods. One is sugar, one is protein. The sugar will cause an insulin spike, which turns on fat storage or anabolic processes...unless your diet is very clean, it will turn on fat storage. Protein will be used if needed, however in excess will turn to fat. This is hardly ever the case for most people unless your a body builder and bulking. Theres more to it than this simple comparison, but u cannot ignore macro's!!

There is one other step in there though, if the protein is not used (over consumption) it will first be converted to fatty acids and sugars and then either used as energy or then those structures will be stored (as fat) if there is a calorie abundance. But proteins themselves don't convert directly to fat.

EDIT: I should note that this rarely ever occurs though, the majority of the protein that gets eaten is used by the body. As it is used to relying on fat and carbs for energy sources, protein is not normally broken down in that fashion. Bottom line: your body really doesn't want to store excess protein as fat but it can. If you are working out hard and regulating your carbs and fat, it is unlikely that the excess protein you eat will get stored as fat.

hm interesting info, i didn't know that about protein. i think i'll make myself a shake later now because of that.

anyway, your response doesn't respond to the issue of time. from what you say above eating sugar will cause an insulin spike regardless of if one eats it at 5:00pm or 10:00pm correct? i get what you are saying but if the person above decides to eat right before they sleep why does that matter? your metabolish doesn't shutdown when you are sleeping so your body should process the food pretty close to normal. if i decide to have a rice cake or turkey jerky an hour before sleeping those foods won't signal your body to start storing fat. well, that is what i would assume.

protein powder suggestions? vanilla flavor please. i threw away the old powder i had because it expired and i want to get something that will actually taste good

I really like Whey Gourmet, except I've only ever had chocolate. But it truly does have awesome flavor.

Running has taken a serious toll on my already bad knee seeing a doctor soon I really hope I won't need surgery

just got this message...damn would have got the chocolate flavor if need be as long as it tastes good. i bought designer whey which i think tastes ehhhh

Yeah no joke it tastes pwn. I always make mine with milk...but the true test is to make it with water, and this one passes. (Y)

damn i fail with that designer whey stuff...i might add in some fruit or something to make it taste better

Peanut butter (a teaspoon or so) + banana is always a good addition.

i think bananas and peanut butter are disgusting so i tried something new today and added a half a shot of espresso...such a good idea

Dymatize Elite Whey chocolate flavor is soooo good. For 0 carb powders, Isopure is the best bet.

Ok so I'm back after sometime off w00t. Going in to my cutting regamine a very strick one I may add started this week and its already hard ;p but with all hard work it will show the results in the end. So pretty much a little rundown of it : working out (lifting) Tues Thurs Sat, following it up with high intensity cario Mon Wed Fri with Sunday as a day to recover As far as diet taking a major cut on caloric intake and worst of all none, zero, ,zelch absolutley NO! carbs after 6pm this will be tough as I love beer so ya looks like im gonna be drinking bacardi superior I'll def come on here with some updates as I progress. My time off came with some minimal damage gained some weight lost some strength my cardio is still up to par same with my overall endurance. I'm totally pumped about getting into this as my body is in a perfect position to get cutt up! Lifted chest yesterday and eek I'm sore as a bitch but I love and missed that feeling. Did my running this morning first thing before breakfast don't really notice a difference in how my body is taking the whole no carbs thing other then im craving a cracker or bread like a mofo right now lol
