90 cal blueberry granola bar and a 0 carb 0 sugar protein shake.
Gym next
Yeah, but remember you are going to get a sweet tooth and have the potential to go to 7-11 and stock up on cake products. Have a few G2s in the fridge, drink half of a G2 and wait a few minutes and it will go away.Quote:

Do not doubt me on this.
I don't eat cake products. I don't really get the sweet tooth but I will take your advice and grab some of theseQuote:

I just wanted to pass along something I read recently stating that running for short periods of time (1-3 min) while walking on the treadmill will increase calories burned by 40% over keeping the same pace over the same distance.
As a fellow fatty who loses weight when dedicated only to eventually gain most of it back, I bid you good luck.
Short bursts of sprints def help but at the same time increase risk of injury for bigger guysQuote:

I am going to go gay here, but listening to birds, watching squirrels and the occasional deer run by is incredibly healthy for the mind and soul, and you are burning calories while you do it. Try to find a park with trees away from a busy road. Trust me on this one. Also bring a G2 with you in case you need to hydrate.
Good Luck Mark, you have the winning formula right there in OP just grind it out each and every single day and the sky is the limit my man. The sky is the limit.

I am down 1 lb from my first weigh in and I know it doesn't really mean much but I enjoy watching the scale move to the left and it keeps me motivated.
Yesterday I got caught up with some work before I went to work out. I stopped @ wendys and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich plain with lettuce and tomato.
Then I did 3 chest exercises for 3 sets on each. Then stretched for 10 minutes and did 45 minutes of incline cardio. Then stretch for 10 more minutes.
After that I ran some errands and stopped @ chipotle. I ordered a bowl - chicken , lettuce, mild salsa , lettuce and cheese. Should have held back on the cheese but it was just a little bit. Not like they dumped a lb on there. To drink I had a diet coke. I know I said I was giving up the diet soda but when I am out to eat I just can't justify paying $2 for a water. But I have got rid of all of the diet soda @ home so I will not be drinking that anymore.
Last meal of the day was a wheat bulky turkey sandwich with mustard, lettuce tomato and a few fat free pringles.
I was a little hungy before bed so I had a 90 cal blueberry granola and a small glass of 1 % milk.
Woke up today and had an egg white omelet with 3 pieces of wheat and a cup of coffee with a little 1 % milk and 2 sweeteners. I had 2 chicken apple sausages on the side as well. Probably should have held back on the sausages but I won't be eating them every day and I went extra hard @ the gym to make up for it.
I went to gym and did 2 bi exercises and 2 tri exercises 3 sets of each followed by 10 min stretch and 45 mins on the treadmill. I warmed up for 5 mins and then I would sprint for a min and then take a 5 min walk and then sprint for a min then 5 min walk. I sweat my balls off and this was the most I have sweat in a while. I followed that with stretches.
For lunch it will be grilled chicken salad with fat free dressing and if it isn't snowing too hard later I will go for a nice snow walk.
See this is the problem people just dont know any better because of all the bs theyve shoved down our throats for years.Quote:

Try and get protein with every meal and snack and include a decent amount of poly/mono unsatured fats especially when you want your body to digest the healthy nutrients of a salad. Ground Flax seed is a good way to get the good fats you need with meals.
so you and druff lost a combined 5lbs in 3 weeks. the milkshake and pizza diet clearly isn't working.

One of them being your cells become temporarily much more efficient at shuttling fat inside the mitochondria to be oxidized for energy, a spike in testosterone and a large spike in GH and there are a few more. You see these results from wind sprints ONLY.Quote:

[QUOTE=408Mike;129176]ya I have been mixing it up a bit on other pieces of equiptment as well. Once in a while I will sprint on the treadmill thoughQuote:

On another note I am trying something new.
Juice Diet for 10 days
I went out and bought a juicer @ Kohls Friday . This thing was originally 199 then was marked down to 149 then I got like 30 bucks off for opening a Kohls credit acc which brings it down to 119 and then they gave me $20 kohls cash and 15 % off my next purchase so I think I made out with overall value.
Anyhow a buddy of mine has recently shed like 75 pounds and he sparked it off with juicing. He told me to watch this Documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv3vEXy_EwU and I did. I actually bought the juicer Friday and watched the documentary tonight and when I finished I went and bought my first round of vegetables tonight and made my first juice drink.
It consisted of Kale, celery, cucumber, ginger, Apple, pear , lemon and I added some fresh strawberries. It tasted pretty good as well.
My juices will consist of 80 % greens and 20 % fruit and I will drink a few of these per day or whatever fills me up. I will also be drinking a lot of spring water with lemon
I will do nothing but juice and drink water for 10 days and hopefully when it is over I shed 20 lbs. When this is over I will evaluate where I am going next but I may start going hard core juicing/vegetarian or something like that but not sure.
For now it will be strictly juicing/walking/water. I have heard the first 2 or 3 days suck but after that it gets better
Prepare to not be able to leave the house during those 10 days because you are uncontrollably pissing out of yer asshole. I got a juicer too, they are pretty cool, but the all juice diet sounds very harsh if your body isn't prepared for it.Quote:

For the love of God get rid of the fucking fad diets.
You are just temporarily tricking your body into an unsustainable state, and torturing yourself in the process.
Tons of cardio, good diet. That is what works, it aint complicated. At your height/weight the lb's should be flying off if you ate right and mixed in cardio.....consistently. But whatever floats your boat.
And I am sitting on a bike as I type, doing my 60 min of cardio for the day sweating like a pig.
Dude, be careful with your juice only diet....make sure you get enough protein to maintain you organs
when the body doesn't get enough protein to maintain organs, it strips your muscles of protein in order to keep the organs going as they are vital for life....and losing muscle is bad, because muscle mass burn calories--less mass, fewer calories burned per hour--and you need to burn calories to lose fat
with your juice have some non fat cottage cheese, skim milk, or something both high in protein and low in carbs&fat ..and keep up with the excercize...the weight will go but it takes time to get rid of it the right way
afterall, you weight didn't get ther overnight, so be patient--
Mark, it took dedication to you make yourself into a great poker player, so you can (and will) have success
By juicing I am doing my body a favor
its similar to a soup diet as its a good way to kick start your weight lossQuote:

first of all, there is no harm being on a juice diet for 10 days, at least he is getting all the nutrients and fibre. Its not like he has only 10 lbs to loseQuote:

second of all, all bodybuilders, even the ones who have endorsements never use mrp when cutting up, not to mention met-rx, they always stick to whole foods
thirdly,
scale went down 2 more lbs today
These drinks taste like grass and they taste ok to me. If I add extra fruit they dont taste as good.
5 PM I will be 20 % of the way through.
I will be done next Wednesday @ 5 PM and will reevaluate my plan when I finish

Inspirational anecdotes from our fallen sweet prince
Another day of juicing. Another 3 lbs lighter on the scale. Druff mentioned last night on radio that he has lost 10 lbs and he has lost a belt buckle size and I feel the same. My shorts and t-shirts are much looser already.
Last night I felt really good and was thinking and feeling very good and it was a clean feeling. Anytime I get hungry I just go to the juicer and smash a bunch of vegetables and fruit. I will be staying away from strawberrys as the drinks taste like shit. Apples and pears ftw.
3 more hrs and I am 30 % of the way
I watched that last night on netflix.Quote:

Real inspiring.
So 30 %, you are on the 3rd day? Sounds like if you can get past that, I don't want to say it is all downhill, but seems like the 3rd day is the make or break day.
Good luck and post any fruit and veg combinations/recipes that you find taste good and work.
The few drinks I've tried were simply disgusting (wtf is Kale and why is it in every smoothie recipe).
I need to put 80 % green veg in. The cale is green http://www.muranakafarm.com/products/kale.phpQuote:

Down another 1.5 lbs today , will be 40 % done in 10 hrs or so. I feel pretty good too. I got some hunger pains the first 2 days but once I drink this shit I feel awesome. No hunger pains yesterday at all. The drinks I had yesterday sucked though. I am staying the fuck away from oranges and strawberrys.Quote:

here is the mean green recipe I have been using , I havnt added the spinach yet but will do so later this weekend.

Good luck on your juicing diet. I would like to offer some advice but even if you do not take it you are still doing your body a favor by doing what you are doing.Quote:

I have that exact same juicer as in that video I believe it cost around 500 bucks but now it is sitting in my garage. The reason being I saw this you tube that Joe Rogan did:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmmPSBRu6wg
So I spent another 600 on a vitamax and couldnt be happier. The vitamax cuts everything so fine and clean that if you do it right it is almost as if you drinking juice but you get the huge added benefit of all the fiber and nutrients within the pulp. I really think that is a big deal.
Here is what my daily shake consists of:
A big thing of spinach, a big thing of kale, one bottle of coconut water and a hand full of frozen blueberries. This produces two pints of green smoothie, one of which I drink in the AM and then the other for dinner. It is an awesome way to eat a salad without have to deal with downing a ton of leafy vegetables. If you have ever tried to eat kale without it being broken down you know what I mean.
At any rate, good luck on the diet but I would give my way a shot, or even better yet, maybe even rotate between juicing one day and a shake the next.
Btw, if you just did my shake above every day with legumes, guacamole, salsa and with chicken or fish and did some basic weight lifting the weight would fly off and you would build muscle at the same time. It is amazing how much weight you can lose if you stop eating bread, sugar and your main source of carbs is from legumes.
