that makes me want to eat some noodles. :c )
me too >_<
damnit im hungry
i run 2 miles 3 days a week and do a little to work on stomach and arms
sure wouldnt know that if you saw me
damn genes
i agree
but
not all carbs are created equally.
white bread, and white pasta are as bad as eating a candy bar. they will spike your blood sugar and your body will store them as fat.
high fiber (real whole wheat, not enriched) breads and pastas would be a better choice.
you want to stick with things that have a low/mid range glycemic index number. these will be broken down and released in the blood stream much slower. keeping you feeling full for longer and also keeping your blood sugar in check. (this is key for burning fat)
eating a high LEAN protein and medium carb (HIGH FIBER) diet is good… and also dont forget about fat. you need that as well, EFA’s are very important.
eat fish, fish and some more fish.
or have some flax seed oil :barf:
jan, if you want (when my mom finishes reading them) i have a couple books you can borrow.
word
there is so much information out there its rediculous, which is a problem
all i know is that fad-dieting on the majority is stupid ( like cottage cheese diets / atkins etc )
a lot of people proclaim that getting in good shape is 10% excersize 90% nutrition, which i pretty much believe as well
although if someone is serious about getting in shape and eating properly, they should be researching it on their own ( via zerodazes books or w/e ) 
Ooo, thank you, that would be great.
very nice infos!
hmm…30 minutes cardio about 3 days…interesting…i might as well wanna do this also!
how fast (pace) usually you guys do on the cardio?
when you say speed you should essentially be considering your heart rate
if you are trying to build your speed short sessions that alternate between full on sprints and moderate speed recovery are best
if you are trying to lose fat, long enduring jogs are best which keep your heart rate considerably lower yet end up burning much more fat
i think sprints are better than long low speed.
both will get the job done, i just like that sprints keep your body burning calories afterwards for longer.
like sureshot said heart rate, or perceived difficulty level. based on 1-10 (this will change as you become more fit).
like with intervals go with a 5/8 difficulty levels (switching between the 2)
some people do it for time lengths, i like distance. :shrug:
oh, and keep in mind that this (30 min 3-4 times a week) is only good if your eating habits dont suck, and you are weight training as well.
your body like your car needs more than 1 part to be fast, if you put 87 in your car (pizza and junk food) its going to run like shit.
Great analogies ZD… I’ve found that I cannot weight train like I did in college. Just not enough time in the day to get everything done that I want to. I agree with everything that is said and that one of the biggest no-no’s that people do is eat late when thier metabolism has slowed down. Take into account when people eat after they have drinking all night, that’s even worse.
hmmm…ok, Word on that!
