weight loss question

[Centurion1]

i run for like an hour a day and i dont look anorexic. because i have a huge intake of calories and i lift weights as well.

and key word he doesnt work out like I do. Hes a lacrosse player and while they run quite a bit and lift a little he doesn't do much else.

There is a difference between doing it right and doing nothing at all. Swimming is best you use your whole body, and 10 minutes a day will do, 30 if you want to look like me and you want to look like me.

You should see Fragony while he at Pool, he breaks out in song and dance.

You'd think that if his exercise regime hurt him so much, he'd simply stop. Sometimes the pain isn't worth the gain.

no you are actually damaging muscle tissue when lifting, body fixes it and muscle grow the more you hurt them. Ask these big guys to do 50 push-ups, they can't.

lol, Don't buy into the "BIG MUSCLES MAKE YOU UNFUNCTIONAL" narritive, please.

At the start of the thread I didn't actually hyrocrite myself, only mentioned weightlifting probably won't help you lose weight. Muscle is denser than fat so it can carry more weight in the same area of space.

Calories in-Calories out=weight loss.

I heard that eating smaller meals every 4 hours or so is better that 3 large meals a day. I haven't been able to mainten the routine though. When I ran 6-10 miles a day, I didn't eat as much as I should have. I think that's why I got so thin. I plan to trail-run soon in a state park, will definately eat more then! (While maintaining suitable time with the weights)

[Centurion1]

ive heard the opposite actually....... but dont trust me.

[A Nerd]

No problem. I'm glad I haven't been able to do it then! :)

I believe it is Paul Mc Kenna who came up with that.

He also recommends eating slowly, which gives your body time to tell you "you are full", also recommends drinking lots of water, because some people confuse the feeling of thirst for hunger. By eating little and often, it trains the body that there always will be food, so it stops trying to store fats, compared to hardly eating, thus the body storing fats when it can.

This is obviously for weight loss, not for those who intentionally work-out. For people like Centurion1 who actively work-out, they eat hyper-calorie protein chocolate bars, etc. For someone losing weight, it is probably equivant of stuffing your face with 10 normal chocoate bars with a large steak ontop, in otherwords, a very bad idea.

I understand, nice observation. I was enlightened to that 'eating guide' if you will in an article on a bodybuilding webpage. It also went into such convolutions of anabolicnesses, blood sugar levels and other such things I didn't understand. I'm not saying what I read was worthless, just perhaps geared toward those who can benefit from eating that way. By the way those protien 'candy bars' are great if you have a sweets craving and don't want to eat a hershy bar!

[Centurion1]

i like food. i just turn it into muscle instead of fat.

Food fuels an active lifestyle. Yeilding both improved appearance and mental state.

question: is it better to bike intensely for a half hour or to jog for a half hour?

[Ice]

I'd say bike, but I'm adding a disclaimer here so one of our many nutriution gurus won't rip me a new one ;).

High intensity is what you want to be looking for.

[A Nerd]

I used to bike extensively, one time this guy at the gym said biking didn't work the hamstrings well, though I disagreed at the time. It's good exercise, your stamina will allow for further distances to be travelled and it's easeir to take in the scenery. Jogging is more exertive and I think will burn calories faster, but, I also think there are more gains to be made in burning calories more slowly. The only problem being is that I used to jog year round, I was only able to bike during the warmer months.

Overall biking is better

What does your diet look like?

Are you counting calories? Carbs? Protiens?

[Centurion1]

is it really intensive bike work or are you like gliding for half of it.

Jogging can be bad for your spine, funnily enough. Same as treadmills, especially as you don't do it properly. (Yes, there are actual ways you are meant to walk, run, job, sit in a chair, etc)

I use a bike myself, as you are exercising the same muscles, and arguably even more.

[A Nerd]

The intoxicating degree of exertion and the eventual runners high, not to mention the euphoric feeling one receives when finished (jogging), I feel, far outweighs any physical pleasures of bicycling. Though bicycling has its charm. I'll worry about physcial ills when I'm old and crotchety.

Biking is better for your knees, but worse for your testicles.

That shouldn't be an issue, as real men have

I liked that show, particularly the 'Militant Black Guy'.

[A Nerd]

Your probably keen on 'Banana Man' too.

[pevergreen]

Never actually seen the show.

[A Nerd]

Your too young. It's a cartoon from the early 80's. You weren't even a glimmer in your father's eyes back then.

It was?

There is a show on Britain's Channel 4 which is all about comedic endeavours. The 'Militant Black Guy' I mentioned is one; it's basically this black dude who goes into various places and asks questions that will yield a response he can deem as racist. Another is the 'Bunny Boiler', a pretty woman who goes around to find couples and flirts with the male to gauge an aggressive response from their partner.

It's funny at times, boring at others.

Sounds entertaining...:P I'd rather watch the toilet flush...
