Any suggestions? Thanks!!
Hello bpherson and hello everyone else,
I'd say everyone reacts different to certain regiments, but all things ought to be approached with balance and patience. I don't like the idea of diet - but I do like the idea of
life change.
As for me - I
have to count and document everything I do and everything I eat. It helps me keep track. I mix carbs and proteins until 1400 hrs - eating small meals every three hours. At 1700 hrs it's protein and extremely low / no carbs. No food after 2000 hrs. I combine this with 100 plus crunches / 100 plus pushups each day; light weight training 3 x per week and minimum of 30 minutes cardio 4 x per week. My bike rides vary from 160 - 300 miles per month depending on weather. One day off and one "cheat" day - usually on the off day. Note - cheating does not mean binging - just eating what you like
within reason. This has been a very good life change for me had has had good results on reduction of body fat and increase in strength / endurance.
Best regards,
