Dropping 25 pounds in 2 months

[arborworks1]

Dropped 3 pounds so far. Got to get on a better diet!!
Taking oxyelite pro. Better form of hydro cut basically.

You don't need a better diet - you just need to BURN CALORIES.

It's actually just that simple!

Well eating everything in sight is not helping. Running 15 miles this week. Only way to 30 mile weeks!!

I have been lacto-ovo for about 6 months now, I sometimes eat fish, but not that much.

i like it, took a bit to get used to it, but i dropped weight and retained muscle mass, so it's working.

I think the running though is the key, it stimulates your metabolism to bun calories like a furnace all day

Heck, that's not a "diet." It sounds like your three pound loss was just a couple of good dumps.

You need a plan, way more than just starting a thread. And those pills ain't safe, IMO.

 

[Widow Shooter]

agreed, hydroxycut is crap and not good for you at all.

be real, it is simple really, take out more than you put it, make your body an overdraft

no carbs after 5pm

 

[arborworks1]

Cut out sugar completely. Been eating meat eggs and cheese just lots of it. 2 gallons of water a day. Running 3 miles a day. And walking around 5 miles. IMO my plan is working just have my ratios off a bit.

careful how many carbs you cut if you are running, you do not want your body cannibalizing muscle tissue for energy , it is called "Ketosis".... your body can literally eat it's muscle tissue if there are not enough carbs for energy, and the atkins diet does not allow for that , lemme see if I can find something on it.

If you have any questions, pm me, I was a personal trainer for 12 years.

one thing about losing weight, and I have lost 35 pounds in the last year; is that your climbing becomes almost effortless, I'm way faster now, easier to move about the tree, and i can footlock faster to, with a much higher crunch. it's all win/win

I think thats the POINT of atkins superman.....

yeah but you don't want to lose muscle mass, and you will without the right balance of carbs/fats/proteins.

last night had a big spaghetti meal, rose sauce, garlic bread with some cheese, this am ran about 10k in my best time all winter and the run felt smooth and light.

I rolled my ankle two weeks ago. After three days I started running again...big mistake.

Have you guys ever heard of Chi running? A friend who runs marathons mentioned it to me so I ordered the book.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I did 5 miles a day with moderate weight training during my Atkins stage, no problemo.

 

[Widow Shooter]

imagine how much better you could have ran with some complex carbs in ya Butch

I have lost 30 pounds since Thanksgiving and I feel much better. I go up and down a tree much better. My BP is OK without medicine now. I don't believe in the diet drugs. I think they put a strain on your heart.

Well let me tell you a little tid bit ,you don't have to run to screw yourself up if you don't have enough intake because I did it

It was a result of bad fitting teeth and I just lost my appetite plus the fact that for some reason I don't feel hunger like a normal person .I Dropped about 20-25 pounds but lost a whole lot of muscle .

Now it's coming back believe it or not even at my age but that's because I've made an effort to eat .

Glycosis is the catabolic process that breaks down muscle protein, not ketosis. Ketosis is breaking down fat for energy, that's what we want.

 

[MasterBlaster]

But, it's a path not tread lightly.

 

[FJR]

Huh? What do you think the Atkins diet is? It's whole principal is ketogenesis.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sorry. Imma pretty much agnostic.
