For some movement try to get access to a rebounder or mini-trampoline, and start jumping on it to your favorite tunes. If you can rebound 4 to 5 days a weeks you will get tremendous cardiovascular benefit along with helping with the weight loss. The next best thing is to power-walk instead of running. I won't go into the biology of what happens to the body under sustained running, but I would just recommend that you power-walk instead. Learn power-walking under someone competent. Powerwalk...

Hi Pumpi. You mentioned above that you will go back to eating salads in December. You might want to try increasing the amount of greens far and above what you think is possible for a human to eat. If you notice the biggest mammals on the face of the earth are those that eat greens, so its perfectly feasible for you to eat greens and get a big part of your nutrition from it. Our closest relatives the bonobos, chimpanzees and some of the other primates consume 75% greens for their nutri... [ More ]

I was only saying that it sometimes helps to have support when you are going through a difficult time. Good luck and have a wonderful weekend.

Good luck with your goals. <br... [ More ]

scenario: if you have 3 kids and you go to work from 6 in the morning to 5pm in the afternoon that leaves you with 1 hour to get home and at night you have to take care of the kids...So how are you going to contribute to change the world? On your 1 day a week off? I don't think so, because on your 1 day of the week that you have off you are going to spend it at home with the family and friends...That's how i view things...

I did it again- started out with a typo (rally instead of really) I also wrote twice as much as I thought. Sorry. Wish we could edit blog entries. Well, hope I contributed something useful. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Regarding the sugar content, processed sugar is addictive so, when we get older, our body craves it. You need to adjust your taste buds and that might mean putting up with a little bland food for a while. In Panama I assume they have Splenda or other forms for sucralose. There is a little controversy about this product however, just like there was about saccharin in the past. Molasses is very sweet and is also very nutritional. Processed sugar is void of any nutritional value. Blackst... [ More ]

I had two friends that lost a lot of weight eating a cabbage soup diet. It's a tasty meal, easy to fix, affordable, and always available.

Their thing there is what food you consume but their thing also is a lot of physical activity to go along with it.<br

My work requires physcial activity all day long. Walking , lifting , up and down ladders. Working the muscles all day. I am 6'1 225 lbs But my weight is proportionatly balanced from head to toe. A mean machine LOL. Oh I eat any type of food when I want it. Never had to worry about dieting all my life.

Negative Calorie Foods Also look for the: Glycemic Index Next drink a lot of pure water everyday and also do aerobic exercises. For example little by little get used to walking and doing breathing exercises. Deep abdominal breathing is said to be good for you.

I don't eat subs and take out foods daily except for once a week sometimes i treat myself to a 8" steak sub. It's not only what you eat it's how much you eat eating twice a day and having a heavy portions will not work to lose weight. Also never eat and then take a nap or go to sleep right afterwords. Thats a big no, no. After you eat you should move about for at least 20 minutes. It aids in digestion and burns some of the calories. When trying to lose weight you must sti... [ More ]

You might met a girl at the YMCA. So you might get lucky. And you will be killing three birds with one stone.
