I don't do any of this diet bullshit other than cutting down on fast-food type stuff. Exercise is the best for you, no matter what you're eating. Run a few miles and lift weights. I used to be in great shape when I played sports, but now I've got some moobs going on. I just got a year membership to the Y, which is going to help a lot. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 1:43pm - Martins ""] Did you read the first post of this at all? |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 1:46pm - arilliusbm ""] Wall of text, like I said. I skimmed through it. There's no need for me to. What I've done in the past worked for me, so I'm going back to what worked. If it fails, then I'll try this diet nonsense. I went from weighing 175 in highschool to weighing 235 pounds right now. Keep in mind, I'm just about 6'6'' so I'm not morbidly obese. I plan on exercising and weight training. |

It's good for building muschle mass and absolutely CRUCIAL for cardiovascular health, but for moobs it's not the best option. Diet will stimulate metabolism much more than exercise will, faster and more results as well. Ultimately the best idea is a well proportioned balance of all - Diet, excercise, weight training, and CONSTANT masturbation. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 1:48pm - arilliusbm ""] Yea, I'm more concerned about building muscle mass than losing a lot of weight. Ideally, I just want to lose my slight beer gut and moobs. And yea, it involves changing your diet. As far following a diet plan? Like I said, if what I have in mind fails then I'll try. If it works I'll owe Martin money. |

| ________________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 1:53pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Machetectomy. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 1:54pm - arilliusbm ""] You know what? Fuck it, I may try this diet. Need moar walnuts. |

Ideally what will happen is Martins should lose a ton of weight, get jacked up, and slap you around for mocking his diet. Then you renew your friendship through hours of Dr. Phil style counseling. http://www.tmz.com/2009/10/07/lawsuit-dr-phil-trapped-me-touched-my-boob/ |

If you're looking to get jacked up, you need the "Holy shit thats a lot of pasta and sausage and meatballs" diet! It's crucial. Carbs, protein, and soylent farts. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 1:57pm - arilliusbm ""] My primary focus before gaining muscle mass is getting rid of the love handles and moobs before it gets anyworse. You know it's bad when you're jogging and your chest is bouncing up and down. At the same time, it's somewhat arousing. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 2:00pm - arilliusbm ""] Martins, how much do you weigh? 300+? |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 2:01pm - Martins ""] Actually, don't eat soy. Soy is a great source of protein but only in fermented forms where the estrogen levels are lower. Better sources of protein are nuts, meats, and some vegetables. Stubborn fat is caused by elevated estrogen levels. The less estrogen you intake and create, the easier it will be to lose any stubborn fat. Carbs are great for gaining muscle mass but only in a timed application. After a day or two of high-fat-intake days, a day of high-carb-intake will quickly boost the speed of muscle gain. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 2:02pm - Martins ""] Right now I'm ~250. I got scared silly ~2 months ago when the doctor told me I was 270. It's the heaviest I've ever been. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 2:03pm - arilliusbm ""] Too many RPGs. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 2:04pm - Martins ""] Not enough, if anything. I was playing Scribblenauts then, I believe. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 2:05pm - arilliusbm ""] I noticed I gained almost all my weight when I was in a deep depression 3-4 years ago |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 2:08pm - Martins ""] Makes sense (but sucks). |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 2:10pm - arilliusbm ""] I want to be able to dunk the basketball again. I'll be glad to school anyone on this board's ass in basketball once I'm in shape. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 2:13pm - Martins ""] I always hated basketball. |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 4:17pm - metalguy_2 ""] I found that starving yourself completely and drinking lots of coffee is the best way to lose weight. Drinking a bunch can help if you stick to not eating anything. If you must eat something keep it down to 500 calories a day. Runs miles, and drink a lot of water and you will look like heman. :-) That diet sounds like it will work but it seems like it can fuck up your metabolism real good. I support 5 meals / and regular exercise. If you are eating the right food and follow and workout plan., you will not only feel a whole lot better but you can gain muscle mass depending on how you work out and what you are eating. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 4:22pm - Martins ""] Almost everything you said completely contradicts almost everything else you said. Sure you can starve yourself, if you want to become anorexic or die. As I said before, eating multiple times a day slows down your metabolism that many times. |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 4:25pm - goatcatalyst ""] i didn't read much of this thread, but this seems right at home here [img] |

Contrary to your statement, the Warrior Diet keeps your insulin levels steady, can prevent diabetes, and is completely healthy. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 4:38pm - metalfuck ""] don't forget to do the master cleanse diet and if that doesn't work, i hear this new thing called atkins is great too! |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 4:44pm - the_reverend ""] I was suppose to go to the gym today.. last time I went was wednesday, but I don't have time to go to brokencyde or to the gym. lame. The next time I can go is sunday I think. double lame. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 4:45pm - the_reverend ""] I would say mayb I can go in the AM, but I know that that isn't going to happen. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 5:06pm - ryan_nli ""] everyone has their own tricks for loosing weight. you just need to try things out and see what works for you. I got tired of being over weight so i replaced a few things in my diet. instead of soda, i drink water, instead of butter, i use that fake stuff and instead of white bread i use wheat bread. little things like that. i also cut out shitty food like pizza and fried food. i usually "cheat" on the weekends. i think it helps that i dont drink and i dont eat meat. come to think of it, i cant believe i got so fat without those two things. i run 2-4 miles between 4 and 5 days a week and i have lost 40 pounds since may. seems like if a diet is too good to be true, it is. if you dont feel like you are working hard, and you are still loosing weight, then most likely you will just gain it all back. key to loosing weight and keeping it off is a matter of changing your life. you work hard, you get results. my 2 cents |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 13,2009 8:55pm - Phrozenspite ""] I agree its cool to see that you're trying something and getting results... just don't get discouraged by weight plateaus and you'll be fine. I've been dieting and getting back into shape myself. I think I was about 290 last year and I'm down to about 230 now and counting. My diet wouldn't work for everyone but i eat fast food and pizza every day of the week but i've cut out soda and drink lots of water now... I eat cheerios for breakfast, go to school and have whatever i want for lunch than come home and have a small frozen pizza or sandwich for dinner. As far as exercise I do some cardio every day except for the weekends and on monday wednesday friday I endurance train with resistance. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 14,2009 9:44am - xmikex ""] Maybe I just like the 5 meals a day thing because it lets me eat allllll the time. I think I'm going to try the warrior diet for a week or 2 at some point when I learn some more about it. I've been stuck at 180 for a while now and I'd like to try and trim it down to 170. |

| ___________________________________________ [Oct 14,2009 10:24am - largefreakatzero ""] Eat less. Exercise more. Simplify, maaaaaan. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 14,2009 12:17pm - xmikex ""] Martins, lemme run this one by you since you're the resident authority on the warrior diet. The way my schedule works is that after I train I don't get home until 9 or 10 at night usually. I usually have a shake when I get home. Would the warrior diet big nightime meal hurt me more because I'm eating it so close to when I goto sleep? |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 14,2009 12:24pm - anonymous ""] weight loss happens when you burn more calories than you consume. assuming you fast all day and eat a 1,000-1,200 calorie meal at night you're still going to lose weight. |

Would the warrior diet big nightime meal hurt me more because I'm eating it so close to when I goto sleep? This I'm not really sure of. I did it last night though because I got home late and I felt fine and feel fine today. I'm pretty sure that the whole detoxification process happens the next day anyway so that should be okay. I can ask someone over at the Warrior Diet forum or search the book's overeating phase section for something on that. |
