bout to starve myself

[dario]

Eat A Huge Breakfast.. And Then Eat No Carbs All Day ..run After Your Last Meal Then Glutamine And Vitamine E Then Sleep

thats completely ******
the protein will just slow your metabolism and blood flow without any carbs, meaning you won't get the nutrients you should be getting and carbs are the primary source of energy...

if you want to continue with your muscle gains and healthy lifestyle don't listen to that..

t.k.o. is right
you need to try to eat small meals every two hours and try to aim for 30g of protein per meal, around 40-50g of carbs, but 60+ before and after training, and jumble in a few healthy fats throughout the day

low carb diets are not for athlete's, especially boxers; we need as many carbs as we can get..

I want to add, too, about the elliptical trainer:

DAMN. If they'd had these things when I was a single man, I'd have been in trouble.

I was hitting the elliptcal room at my weightlifting gym every morning when it snowed here, which was for like 3 weeks (I live on a hill; running an icy hill and icy stairs in the dark is NOT my idea of a good time) and I felt like I'd discovered the great buffalo herds -- I was SURROUNDED by sweaty, hardbodied girls for a solid hour. It would've been an easy thing to start up a conversation, especially after showing up 3-4 days in a row and seeing the same girls there; some of them would say "Hi," or "Good morning." There were no men -- none -- on the ellipticals. EDIT: I took a course in Art History in college for exactly this reason. 30 girls, and me. I had 'em lined up like Rockettes by the end of the quarter.

I highly recommend this -- the scenery alone should be enough to motivate you to hit the gym every morning. Especially you, 2K5 -- after seeing you there at Oh My God o'Clock for a solid week some hottie says something like, "Wow, you're dedicated." And you say, "Well, I've got a month to get ready for this boxing championship." Cue disco music.

lmao

yeah, haha low carb diets are for fat middle aged men and women who are too lazy to get off their asses, and also, say if you went on a low carb/no carb diet for a good while, the second you touch a hamburger or something in that area you're body will totally beat the **** out of you for it.

If he wants to lose weight real fast, heavyhands' advice would certainly work. It's not what I would recommend, and I certainly wouldn't suggest it as a way of life, but pursuing it for a few weeks or so could prove effective. He'd need to continue with something like what TKO is recommending afterwards, though, or he'd gain it right back. Low-carb diets tend to work well short term. That's why they're all the rage: it's a quick fix.

Do like the farmers. Big breakfast. If you're a physical person (athlete, construction worker etc), breakfast should be your biggest meal of the day by a long shot. Dinner the smallest. We Americans are ****ing morons and skip breakfast and have huge dinners. We are truly the dumbest civilization in the history of this planet. No humor there, just being real.

Cut out sugar and anything with high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is in EVERYTHING -- not just soda. Check out the labels on cereals, grain bars, even fruit juice. High fructose corn syrup has recently been found to trigger hepatic lipogenesis, which means it makes your liver create fat. This is in addition to the insulin spike from the high fructose corn syrup screwing up your fat metabolism and adding extra calories. Dump it.

Fill up on fruit and raw veggies. Bananas, apples, pears, Kiwi fruit, mangoes, those little green pea pods that come in a plastic bag, whatever trips your trigger. Try star fruit and persimmons. They're weird and interesting. Keep the tank full; eat every couple of hours. You can eat as much of this as you want. Fruit and raw veggies are nutritionally dense and have very few calories. You can eat pounds of it and not gain long-term weight -- you'll just crap out all the fiber.

Then . . . wait for it. . . .

. . . skip dinner.

Seriously. Have a protein shake or something light after the gym (Lean Cuisine, a grilled chicken sandwich from McD's [no mayo!] etc.), but skip the thousand calorie 3-course dinner. Keep your evening meal to <400 calories and don't eat ANYTHING before bed.

Also, I'm a firm believer in the "light exercise for long periods" school of fat burning. It seems to work well for me. 45 minutes or an hour of brisk walking or light jogging (or elliptical trainer) on an empty stomach. Every day.

The weight will come off. Do all of this, and it will come off.

thats good info.

I like food too much!

You have no idea how lucky you are. If I eat junk food and dont workout a lot I balloon up faster than Ricky Hatton.

yeah low carb diets are only good if you're a bodybuilder and you need to lose any and all excess water weight in a day or two to win you that trophy

other than that, don't do it because you need your energy
