if you just substitute water for soda you'll lose like 15 lb's right off the bat.

Considering that you can run to the Schenectady OTB to place a bet and be back home at your computer in less than 10 seconds I thought you'd be built more like a sprinter.

And you are the oracle of old wives tales?

His bat isn't fat.


HE is!

6'1 235 isnt a sprinter, he must be a gifted athlete

Jerry, do you have any preexisting heart condition?

i've lost weight real quick when i give up soda.... than i take it back again... rocky relationship.

How's your bat doing?

I am losing weight at such a rapid rate that I'm starting to wonder if I have cancer or aids or something.

Since I returned from Florida in late Feb I've lost 25lbs - my diet is basically the same as always - a bowl of cereal for breakfest, a footlong sub for early lunch (either tuna, veggie patty, turkey & ham, or chicken bacon ranch mostly)

If I'm not having pizza for dinner or going drinking - sometimes I catch the pre 3:30 lunch specials and get Hunan Chicken with pork fried race and wonton soup as my 2nd lunch. Sometimes I'll get an antipasto salad from a nearby deli at around 3:30. Sometimes a Chik-Filet meal or medium roast beef meal from Arby's.

Besides running a mile 3 or 4 days a week, I'm not really excersizing a whole lot - and haven't been going to the gym that much.

I went to Florida weighing about 200lbs at the end of November - went to the gym virtually every single day, took 3-to-4 shakes of muscle milk a day and creatine once a day. Came back about three or four pounds lighter with much better muscle tone.

Since I stopped taking the supplaments and working out I have started to look like a greyhound. I came back looking great - and at this rate - I'm about just a few months away from looking like an Auschwitz victim. That good muscle is vanishing and I've become twiggy.

Always had my doubts about you....

Lots of tapeworms in that. I would see a vet.

You probably just lost all your water. Your diet looks very familiar to me.

Ever ate a veggie pattie Hossy?:rolleyes:

maybe get your thyroid checked. it can go haywire and make you fat, or go the other way and make you very thin.

ewww

It's probably because you stopped using the muscle milk.

LOL, you eat almost as frequently as I do.

Breakfast - banana, 4 scrambled eggwhites & 1 whole egg, whole wheat bagel with Omega Smart Chunky peanut butter, sugar free jelly

mid-morning snack - yogurt

2nd mid-morning snack - Kashi pumpkin & flax bar

lunch - some variation of chicken either in a stir-fry or salad with veggies

snack - can of tuna or white chicken meat

snack - fruit

dinner - buffalo steak, lots of steamed veggies, blueberries or strawberries (dinner isn't always the same, but general idea)


repeat every day for rest of life. :D

Diet soda?

If so, that's probably your biggest obstacle to losing weight dude.

What happens is that when your tongue senses sweetness, it sends a signal to the liver to expect sugars. I'm simplifying this, but the end result is that your liver will release stored sugars into your blood while expecting to get it's stores replenished.

Because you aren't consuming a real sugar your liver goes into a sugar deficit of sorts. Because the liver doesn't get this, it 'demands' that you eat so that it can restore it's levels. This results in your appetite increasing and forcing you to eat when normally you wouldn't have had to.

You'd have been better off in the first place drinking a sugary soda! Obviously that's not a good choice however, and you should drink water. Avoid anything with aspartame and splenda, which are both toxic anyways.

This dude down the street from me, for two years I told him if he was to do just one thing to lose weight (something easy), that would be to cut out sodas. He did, and he dropped 40 pounds.
