Low carb diet

[shootemindehead]

What...so no milk on me cornflakes in the morning? This dieting lark sounds like hell. Anyway...massive fail for dinner. Ne beans and brown rice. It's indian. I did a bit cycling today, so it should be ok...shouldn't it

Is now not the time to say I had tempura waffles with chocolate sauce and it was fantastic? Sorry... I love that y'all are men and talking about watching what you eat. I work for a guy I thought had to be gay because his whole pantry is stuffed with things like 'weight control' oatmeal and fifteen kinds of protein powder and dozens of vitamins. I've never known a straight man to care about what he ate. While men and women are different... somehow ... I hear a lot of what works for people is taking out the carbs and the dairy. None of this gluten free insanity or put cayenne on everything craziness. But I will say... I'm a protein fiend... protein shake for breakfast, greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder, another protein shake for lunch, and then there's dinner which is whatever the hell I want it to be and alcohol because I'm an adult.... and when paired with sufficient exercise weight practically runs screaming for the hills. And speaking of running and hills... find those because they're amazing. They tone every part of you. Diet without exercise is like a gun without ammo... what's the point really? Stay strong guys...

Diet without exercise is like a gun without ammo... what's the point really? Stay strong guys... As regards weight, have to say diet IMHO seems far more important than exercise...

While men and women are different... somehow ... I hear a lot of what works for people is taking out the carbs and the dairy. That seems to be my experience, too bad carbs are an altar I have difficulty not bowing down to. I will say... I'm a protein fiend... protein shake for breakfast, greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder, another protein shake for lunch, and then there's dinner which is whatever the hell I want it to be and alcohol because I'm an adult.... Very cool! Sounds like what life was like for me before my late 30s! And speaking of running and hills... find those because they're amazing. They tone every part of you. I absolutely loathe running, but am trying to work myself up to get off the bike and elliptical and start some jogging, as it seems way more efficient for getting the heart rate up. Diet without exercise is like a gun without ammo... what's the point really? I couldn't agree more. I used to hate exercise and the way it made me feel, now I find it empowering and a nice rush...till I push it too far, then I hate it again Stay strong guys... Thanks, gonna try! As regards weight, have to say diet IMHO seems far more important than exercise... I agree, though the exercise will make it easier, you healthier and allow for occasional lapses in diet.

I've been lifting religiously for years now, and the low-carb diet is my preference when it comes to losing weight. I could live off of milk, steak and peanut butter.

I have lifted weights during the past 13 months. Question for the weight lifters. What is your regiment like? I am lifting 3 times per week and sticking with old fashion free weights. The number of sets per muscle group are around 5-6 opposed to 10-12 that I used to do years ago. I also used to lift 5 times per week. To be honest, I have noticed better results from lifting less sets.

The number of sets per muscle group are around 5-6 opposed to 10-12 that I used to do years ago. I also used to lift 5 times per week. To be honest, I have noticed better results from lifting less sets. I use free weights, mostly barbell with as much weight as I can get on it to lift within an 8 - 12 rep range. I do one set of each lift but mix up what order I do them in for each days workout. Upright rows, standing shoulder press, military press, bicep curl, skullcrushers, bench press and barbell squats. I do that 3 consecutive nights a week then leave a 4 day rest period before doing it again. It's a bit of a posey shot this but I'm taking pics to document my progress, this is the shape I'm in at the moment. As I keep adding weight it will only improve. I run 2 - 3 times a week as well to make sure I'm getting my cardio in. http://instagram.com/p/ccfzsAK7Oy/

You got me on those, but I have you beat on lats and abs for sure. Do you have access to a pullup station or bar? I added weighted pullups 1/2 a year ago and have gained positive results. I made a homemade dip belt out of a solid chain around 5 ft, I think. The belt is padded with a foam pool noodle that was cut in 1/2. And I use a spring hook to hold the ends together. Btw, I thought your hair was blonde.

Cheers dude! No I don't have a chin up bar, could use one really! I just use free weights. My hair is still a mucky blonde colour, but I don't have the blonde highlights in it that I had a few years ago ha!
