Hello all !!
Well I'm new to this space and am totally loving the discussions going on, its helping me learn a lot! So cheers to all for that
I want help with the program that I need to adopt. I have a big question, and I would really appreciate some help with it.
Should I adopt the fat burning program, or the weight loss program?
I'm a girl, so I don't want to build muscle really, I just want to shape up and look slim!
Hello. I'm new to this program and to forums in general. I'm about 25 lbs over ideal weight. I would like to lose the weight and maintain and more healthy weight of 180 lbs. I'm giving myself a conservative amount of time to lose the weight by next birthday - end of Spetember. That is 5 months. I figure I can lose 5 lbs a week. I don't want to go on any "fad" diets. Just want to eat right, excersise right, maybe muscle building - afterI lose some weight. Not sure if there is anybody out there like me but if there are I am looking for some members that I can bounce off thoughts and wishes and work togther to reach and maintain weight goals and healthy lifestyles.
Hey Boss Man. I guess you're talking with me. diet is pretty simple - now.
Breakfast - Usually a smoothie and a homemade muffin. Smootie is strawberries, blueberries, low cal cranberry juice, banana, yogurt and some bran buds.
Lunch. Varies but usually a sandwich - tuna, chicken, etc. Trying to lay off the cheese.
Dinner. Usually some veggies, meat or fish, rice or equas (or whatever you call it - kinda like rice).
I like to have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner - which is probably not good.
I haven't been following this diet very long - about one week. But it is generally what I'm eating now. I'm riding bike about 12 km a day. Also doing some simple stretching excercises. Not doing any sit ups till I lose gut.

(More Protein needed. Try adding something like a few scrambled Egg Whites and a Yol, or some Ham or Chicken in there, as examples)
(Have a snack here, like some Nuts, Peanuts, Fruit, SomeChicken as examples. A decent amout of protein and Carbs.)

(That's fine).

(I'd limit Fish per week. Owing to the heavy metal content. Tuna is only reccomended at 3x a week, so I'd say either 2 Tuna Sandwiches a week for Lunch and 1 fish dinner, or Tuna Sandwiches 1x a week for Lunch and 2 fish dinners, as you're using other Flesh based alternatives anyway, so just sub a few of the fish choices for Dinner and lunch with Meat or Poultry options.)
