Weight Training Program - Free Workout Routine Walk- Through*UPDATE* One of the first articles I wrote for this website years ago was a complete walk- through of my weight training program at the time. It included the full details of how that weight training program was set up, what muscle groups were trained on what days, what exercises were done for how many sets and reps, and why I planned each factor the way I did. Now, years later, I no longer use that workout routine (for reasons I’ll explain at the end of this article), but I didn’t want to just remove it and pretend it never existed. So instead, here it is in its entirety. While I wouldn’t use it today, there is still plenty of really useful information in here, and at the end I’ll explain exactly what I’ve changed and why I’ve changed along with exactly what guidelines my current weight training program follows. So, with that out of the way, here’s a full break down of a workout routine I was using nearly 1. After that, I’m going to take you through each day, each muscle group, and each exercise to explain every single aspect of the workout. I’m not showing this to you as if it were the “Greatest Workout Program In The World.” It’s just what I do. I’m not trying to sell it to you. You don’t have to use it. It’s just an example of a workout routine based on 3 highly important weight training principles. It’s 4 days on and 3 days off, and it’s chest and triceps together, back and biceps together, and then one day for shoulders (and traps/abs) and one day for legs. There are probably a lot of similar looking routines out there, and with good reason. Simple is what works. Like I said before, the only real keys to an effective weight training program are the right exercises, the right amount of rest/recovery, and the constant push towards progressing. Now that you have an idea of what my routine looks like, let’s go through it all from top to bottom so I can hopefully answer any possible questions you have now, or may have in the future. Monday: Chest and Triceps. Chest. My chest workout starts with, big surprise, the bench press. It seems most people’s weight training program begins with chest, and that chest workout begins with the bench press. This is why Monday is usually the most crowded bench press day in most gyms. I start with 2 warm- up sets, and then I do my 4 real work sets. The first work set can almost be considered somewhat of a warm- up still, because I am using a weight I can probably do 1. I stop at 1. 0. The second set I increase the weight and try to get 1. I can do. The same goes for the third set, when I increase the weight and go for 8 reps. And just like the others, the fourth set I increase the weight again and go for 6 reps. Because I’m going to failure or pretty near to failure on those last 3 sets, I always have someone spot me. For anyone wondering, “failure” is when you are at the point where you absolutely can’t do another rep. When this happens during something like bicep curls, there’s very little to worry about. My goal here is to, while increasing the weight each set, end up doing reps of 1.
First off, Lindora is a . The plan consists of one-on-one clinical. Sometimes I get something more like 9, 8, 6, 3 or 1. However, my goal is to get an exact 1. I work as hard as I can to reach those reps. Sometimes it takes a week, sometimes a month, sometimes more. But, when I finally reach that goal, it means it’s time for me to increase the weight I’m lifting on each set. When this time comes, I usually increase each set by 5 pounds. Once I do that, I just start this whole cycle all over again and basically just work my ass off to get 1. Well, what I just described above is exactly that. Whether it’s 1 extra rep, or 5 extra pounds, it’s that type of weight training progression that builds muscle. This is pretty much what I do with every exercise (although the number of sets/reps may be different). I’m mentioning that so I don’t have to repeat this over and over again for each exercise. From there I move on to 3 sets of incline dumbbell presses. For my chest workout, I like to do something flat, something inclined, and something that isn’t a press. Since the first time I did them, I always found the typical incline bench setting to be too high. My shoulders always felt like they were brought into the exercise a little too much. Because of this, I usually use the bench setting one notch below that. Again, this is just a personal preference. I’ll usually try for reps of 1. Now would probably also be a good time to mention the recurrence of the numbers 1. 2 steps on How to Lose Weight Fast are 1. Pick a fast weight loss plan 2. Get motivated to lose weight fast. Lose up to 10 pounds in first week with the steps. TRIPLE Your Fat Loss and Get Ripped in Only 19 Minutes, 12 Minutes or Even Just 4 Minutes with 51 NEW, No-Equipment Home Workout Revolution Videos. This 28 Day Detox Diet is offered by Arbonne company. I am happy to share the details of this program with you briefly which had helped me start a healthy life. You’ll notice me using those specific numbers when talking about reps for basically every exercise. The reason is not because they are magical weight training program numbers. It’s just that a person looking to increase muscle would ideally want to stay within the 6- 1. Most people, including myself, prefer aiming for the even numbers, which would of course be 1. Is that any better than making your goal to reach reps of 1. No, it’s not. Remember, the key here is progression. Whether your goal is to get reps of 1. What does matter is progression. That should be the main goal of your weight training program. Yes, staying around the 6- 1. My chest workout ends with 2 sets of dumbbell flyes. Not much else to say about that. Triceps. Now I start triceps, which are already pretty warmed up and ready to go from my chest workout. Since all pressing exercises use the triceps secondarily, it’s almost like my triceps workout started during my first set of bench pressing. Not bench dips. I start off with 1 set of just my own body weight, and then I add weight to both of the next 2 sets. You can add weight to dips by using a dip belt, or by holding a dumbbell between your feet. I aim for reps of 1. Then I end my triceps workout (and this workout as a whole) with single- arm reverse grip (underhand) cable press downs. I do 2 sets and aim for reps of 8, 6. Next time I change my weight training program around I’ll probably switch back to using the regular grip and both arms. The sole reason? It’s just a another way of doing it. Don’t put too much thought into small things like which grip is better. All focus should be on progression. I’ll repeat this 1. At this point I go down to the gym locker room, get out my bag, drink my post workout shake and go home. Tuesday: Back and Biceps. Back. My back workout starts with what is probably my all- time favorite weight training exercise of any muscle group. I don’t care if you bench press a million pounds, it wouldn’t impress me at all. What would however is seeing how many pull ups you can do and/or how much additional weight you can add to them. I use a slightly wider than shoulder width grip with my palms facing away (forward). This is my favorite grip, and it’s also probably the grip that makes pull ups the hardest. But, this is a good thing. The reason is that this grip takes your biceps out of the exercise more so than using an underhand (palms facing you) grip, which puts your biceps in their strongest position. Pull ups are a back exercise. Your goal should be to use your lats to pull. If your biceps are in their strongest position, you will be more likely to pull with your biceps instead of your lats. I do however use a variety of different grips at times (and no grip is “bad” to use, they’re all fine), but this grip is the one I use most often. I start off with 1 warm- up set of just my body weight, and then I add additional weight to the next 3 sets and go for reps of 1. Just like dips, you can add weight by using a dip/pull- up belt or by holding a dumbbell between your feet. The lat pull down machine is a fine exercise and I used it all the time (and still occasionally do), but once I started doing pull ups, it was like a whole other world. Strength and muscle wise, I credit pull ups a great deal. For detailed information on how to increase how many pull ups you can do, read this: Do More Pull Ups. After that, I move on to the bent over barbell row. I use an overhand grip and bend over so that my upper body is a little bit above being parallel to the floor. I do 3 sets and try for reps of 1. From there I move on to the seated cable row and go for 3 sets of 1. One of the biggest weight training problems people tend to have in regards to their back workout is using their biceps instead of or just more so than their back. The key is to imagine you are trying to pull your elbows back rather than trying to pull the weight in your hands towards you. Biceps. Then I move on to biceps. One preference I have for biceps (and triceps as well) is that I like to do something two- handed and then something one- handed. Any weight training program I create will almost always abide by that. There is no scientific reason for it, it’s just what I like to do. The first bicep exercise is just plain and simple standing barbell curls. I do 3 sets and aim for reps of 1. After that is 2 sets of seated dumbbell curls. I try for reps of 8 and 6. Not much to say about them, other than no part of your body should move during any type of curl except for the lower half of your arm (and the upper arm may just slightly come forward). If you can’t do curls while keeping your body still, you’re using too much weight and wasting your time. And that’s the end of my back and biceps workout. I drink my post workout shake and go home. Wednesday: OFFWednesday is one of the 3 days of the week I don’t go to the gym. If I was doing any direct cardio workouts at the time (I’m currently not), Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday (my 3 off days) would be the days I would do them. If you are doing both cardio and weight training, I would recommend doing them on separate days if you can. If you can’t, do the weight training first, then the cardio. Thursday: Shoulders, Traps and Abs. Shoulders. My shoulder workout starts with the seated barbell press. I do it behind the head. It’s also a more strict way of doing it. It’s very rare that I see someone doing this exercise in front of their head and not cheating by leaning back and getting into an almost incline bench press position. Fat Burning Workouts - Best Weight Training Workout For Fat Loss. When it comes to losing fat, there are primarily two different categories of workouts a person might consider doing. And while this is all wonderful stuff that I get asked about approximately 3. But I swear, I will cover all kinds of cardio topics eventually. Now in terms of weight training and losing fat, there are primarily two different types of workouts you can do. Or, more accurately, two different. The first is to actually lose that fat. The second however is to avoid losing muscle while we’re losing fat. As I’ve explained before, we may call it weight loss, but it’s body fat we want to lose here. However, your body doesn’t really give a crap about what you want. It’s just going to see that a. So, it will look to burn fat and muscle whether you like it or not. This of course can be prevented (more about that here. But, due to the improper way. I don’t recommend it. So with all of this in mind, there are two forms of weight training workouts you’ll be interested in when you’re trying to lose fat. Workouts that. So a workout designed specifically for muscle maintenance will mostly suck for burning fat. And workouts designed specifically for burning fat will mostly suck for maintaining muscle. The other, while certainly useful, is purely optional. Why do I feel that way? Let’s find out. Weight Training To Cause Fat Loss Version 1: The Myth. When the average person thinks of using weight training to burn fat, their first thought will often be one of the. In fact, I’ll go right ahead and appoint it THE WORST of them all. Which myth, you ask? The one claiming that you lift heavy weights for low reps when your goal is to build muscle, but then switch to lifting light weights for high reps when you’re trying to lose fat and get lean, toned, defined, ripped, cut and blah blah blah. Not only is this NOT true. Please allow me to quote myself from a? Well, on a fat loss diet, just maintaining your current levels of strength (aka intensity, aka the weight on the bar) is what now signals your body to maintain muscle. If that signal goes away, your body. And while we’re on the subject, the answer is no, this form of training won’t make you “toned” either. As you can see, this one myth is single- handedly responsible for quite a lot of crap. Weight Training To Cause Fat Loss Version 2: Metabolic Training. Now with all of that cleared up, it’s time to get to the type of weight training that is actually, you know. And that is something known as. The hormonal response to this type of training is legit. It burns more calories than traditional weight training, and it also burns more calories than traditional cardio (and it’s waaaaay less boring than traditional cardio). So, if you’re interested in using weight training to cause fat loss, metabolic training can certainly be beneficial. The Problem. Remember that tiny problem I mentioned earlier? The one that was both ironic and annoying? Yeah, it’s time to bring that back up. You see, while metabolic training can be great for burning fat, it’s not- so- great for maintaining muscle. As I explained before, the key to maintaining muscle while in a deficit is maintaining that same heavy strength training stimulus that allowed you to actually build that muscle in the first place. But with the way metabolic training is designed, it makes this nearly impossible to do. In order to go higher in reps and very low in rest periods and do all of the other cardio- like stuff that goes along with getting the fat burning benefits of this type of training, you’re just not going to be capable of lifting as heavy as you need to for that muscle maintenance signal to be there (at least not for anyone past the beginner stage, and that may be the one exception here). Or to put it another way, what makes metabolic training “good” for burning fat is also what makes it “bad” for maintaining muscle. And the best name I can think of for it is plain old. Or more specifically, maintaining (or increasing) your current levels of strength. Why? Because doing so is the primary stimulus that tells your body to keep (or increase) your current levels of muscle. To make that even clearer, if you’re looking to avoid losing muscle while you lose fat, this type of training isn’t just useful and beneficial.? Well, you know the type of weight training that is optimal for building muscle in the first place? That’s also what’s optimal for maintaining it (with one possible adjustment being a small reduction in volume and/or frequency to compensate for the reduced recovery that comes from being in a? Well, this type of training is the complete opposite. But, this type of training isn’t about that at all. This type of training couldn’t care less about calories burned. Metabolic training does, and it’s designed specifically to allow you to burn as many calories as possible in a given period of time. This type of training however is designed solely to allow you to maintain (and/or increase) strength as best as possible. Because maintaining strength is what maintains muscle, and that’s the fundamental purpose of strength training in a deficit. So. For burning fat, it’s clearly metabolic training. For maintaining muscle, it’s clearly strength training. A better one would be? Because of the two, it’s the only form of weight training (or really the only form of exercise in general) that is actually required for this goal. What I mean is, unless you’re significantly overweight (in which case muscle loss is much less of an issue or concern), you will lose muscle and strength in a deficit if the type of strength training described above isn’t there. For this reason alone, strength training wins the battle of the workouts. Now that’s not to say metabolic training can’t also be important or highly. It most definitely can be if it’s your preferred way of creating your caloric deficit. But, if you’re only going to be doing one or the other, the clear choice here would be to skip the metabolic stuff in favor of strength training and use your diet to create your deficit. Fat still gets lost, muscle and strength get maintained? What if you want to do both? The good news is that this is certainly doable and really the ultimate solution for getting the benefits of both forms of weight training (maintaining muscle AND burning fat). In this case, it’s just a matter of having both metabolic and strength training workouts in your overall program over the course of the week. The details of exactly how this should be set up is a good topic for another day. But for right now I want to focus instead on the potential bad news. That’s just one of the things that come with being in the energy deficient state needed for fat loss to take place. Which means, while you always need to be careful not to exceed what your body is capable of recovering from, you need to be a little extra careful during this time because recovery is already lower than it usually is. Plus, if you do exceed your capacity to recover, the first thing that will often start to go is your strength. And if strength isn’t being maintained while you’re in a deficit, that means muscle mass isn’t going to be maintained either. For this reason, all forms of exercise (not just metabolic training, but HIIT, steady state cardio, etc.) have the potential to become detrimental to this goal by cutting into your ability to optimally recover from and perform during those muscle- preserving strength training workouts. Again, this isn’t to say that these “fat burning” forms of exercise can’t or shouldn’t be done. It’s just to say that doing them increases the total amount of. And in terms of recovery and muscle maintenance. I think it’s best suited as a muscle and strength building (and maintaining) tool, and for many people. I just don’t love it, because I think there’s a better way to do it. If anything, I like to view “fat burning” forms of exercise (which again includes all forms of cardio as well) as a “wait- until- it’s- truly- needed” fat loss tool. Meaning, start by creating your deficit through diet alone and save that type of exercise for when/if you reach a point where you still want to get leaner but would rather burn more calories than eat less calories. Granted, some people feel this way right from day #1. By all means feel free to do whatever you feel is most ideal for you. If you will fail to lose fat without using. The same goes for cardio. But in my opinion, it’s a much harder way to create (and consistently sustain) a deficit day in and day out, fairly inefficient when compared to just eating slightly less as a means of creating the deficit. Metabolic training and/or cardio are completely optional. Use them only when/if needed (or just preferred) to create or help create your deficit. But if you do, and you care about maintaining muscle, do so in a way that ensures this type of training doesn’t. Full 4- 1. 2 Week Exercise Program. To transform your body, to get fit, to be healthy and to feel great you gotta exercise. And it needs exercise in a way that is so far- reaching that scientists are only just starting to unravel some of the amazing effects exercise has on our bodies. Did you know, that exercise can actually reprogram your DNA? And while you may think that by not doing exercise you’re not doing any harm, lack of exercise itself can alter your DNA – but unfavourably! Putting aside all the complicated, scientific reasons to exercise, exercise offers benefits that dieting just can’t. Exercise allows you to boost your metabolism and turn your body into a fat blasting furnace. Exercise builds muscle in the places you want, improves body shape and gives you a firm, toned body. Dieting, on the other hand, doesn’t promise a firm body – you can lose weight dieting and still be jiggly! Follow this workout plan and practice healthy eating and portion control, which means eating the right food in the right quantities at the right times, and you’ll be able to burn off at least a pound or two of body fat each week. But remember, you’ll also be doing resistance training to gain muscle in all the right places, so you’ll want to keep track of your progress with body measurements and, if you can, body fat percentage. This weight loss workout plan consists of both cardiovascular exercise and resistance training. The name of the game is to blitz fat, which means to burn as many calories as you can. Cardiovascular exercise burns a lot of calories, as such this weight loss workout plan is centred around cardio. And to really blitz the fat, you’ll be doing two types of cardio, steady- steate cardio and interval training. Steady- state cardio (referred to as simply “cardio” on the weight loss plan below) means you’ll be exercising (e. Steady- state cardio workouts tend to be longer. Cardiovascular interval training (IT) and high intensity interval training (HIIT), on the other hand, are a shorter workout, but alternate between higher levels of intensity and recovery intervals. HIIT (short bursts of all out exercise e. Cardio is an integral part of this weight loss workout plan and it is important that you like what you are doing in order to stick with it, not just for the duration of this program, but also afterwards. You can do your cardio workouts outdoors or on cardiovascular machinery indoors. If you are carrying a lot of weight, it’s best to start with low impact exercise such as walking, swimming or using the elliptical machine. If you have access to an elliptical machine/ cross- trainer, give it a try. I love this piece of cardio equipment, as it allows you to burn as many calories as jogging/ running, but is low- impact. Exercising on the elliptical also “feels” much easier than jogging/ running, allowing you to exercise for longer and burn more calories. This workout plan has a lot of variety and gets progressively harder. Not just to make you stronger and more fit, but to make sure you keep losing weight. When you do a workout over and over again, it eventually gets easier, which means your body doesn’t have to work as hard and therefore burns fewer calories. So your motto is always better. Every week you want to be better than the previous week. WEIGHT LOSS WORKOUT PLAN: RESISTANCE EXERCISEThe other part of this plan is resistance exercise. This is important because it’s the part that focuses on building muscle. During weight loss, not all the weight lost is fat, some of it is muscle. Resistance training will ensure that you avoid the loss of muscle that usually occurs and will actually help you build muscle. You’ll be doing 3 resistance workouts per week: As you get more advanced, . A pair of light dumbbells (5- 1. Each workout only takes about 3. If you haven’t exercised for a long time start with the beginner weight loss workout plan. If you have been exercising regularly for the last few months. You can always skip ahead if you feel it is too easy or switch to a more difficult plan. The great thing is that all of the plans burn calories and all of the plans require commitment. As long as you give it your best at every workout (and watch your calorie intake!), you will make progress, will burn calories, will drop the pounds and will get stronger. Remember: Check with your. Stretch after your workout. How To Lose Weight - The Ultimate Weight Loss Guide. This is it, folks. This is the first, last and only weight loss article you will EVER need to read. Only, this is much more than an article. This, my friends, is a guide. In fact, it's the ultimate weight loss guide. It's a collection of every single thing you will ever need to know about losing weight. Every helpful tip, every useful fact.. Below you will be taken through every aspect of weight loss that you could possibly imagine. From diet and nutrition to exercise and fitness. From counting calories to burning calories. From supplements and products, to myths, lies and unsafe methods. Everything you need in order to never have weight to lose in the first place is here. Everything you need to prevent yourself from failing to lose weight is here. It is quite simply the ultimate guide to all things weight loss. However, I will mention that this guide is meant to be read from beginning to end without skipping over anything. Take my word for it, everything will be extremely easy to understand if you go through it in the order it was written. This is literally everything you need to know, so you might as well read it the way it was meant to be read. You'll be happy you did. All the tips, all the articles, all the methods.. Here now, is that fact. Your body requires a certain number of calories per day in order to maintain your current weight. This is known as your calorie maintenance level. It's the number of calories required by your body to do everything it needs to do (intense exercise, brushing your teeth, pumping blood, keeping organs functioning properly, etc.). Calories are what our bodies use for energy, so in order to do what needs to be done, a certain number of calories are needed. If we end up consuming exactly the same number of calories that our bodies need each day, our weight would remain exactly the same. For example, if your calorie maintenance level was 2. All of the calories you take in would end up getting used (or . This is how you maintain your weight, by giving your body only the calories that it needs. So, for example, if your maintenance level was 2. You are giving your body more calories than it would end up burning. This is what causes weight gain. This is what causes weight loss. Sticking with the same example as before, if your daily maintenance level is 2. Consume more calories than your body needs/burns and you gain weight. And last but not least.. It is the one fact that practically all tips, hacks, methods and diets are based on.. Knowing and understanding it is the key. Just in case any of above was confusing, this article will most likely clear it all up. If your body needs 2. Doing this consistently will cause weight loss. As I mentioned before, your daily calorie maintenance level is the number of calories that your body burns per day. So, for example, if your daily maintenance level is 2. Because all 2. 50. There is no surplus and there is no deficit. A caloric deficit = weight loss. If you then burn an additional 5. Just like the deficit created if you consumed 5. Studies have shown that people who utilize both diet and exercise were more often able to maintain their weight loss long term than those who did one or the other. Doing both is also more beneficial from a general health standpoint as well. If you're the type of person who just wants a clear- cut answer, here it comes.. This can be done through diet, exercise, or for best results, both. The next thing you'll need to know is what your daily calorie maintenance level actually is. Your BMR is the number of calories that your body burns at rest to do all of the things it needs to do to keep you alive and functioning properly. Your activity level is also factored in to estimate how many other calories you burn per day in addition to your BMR. The answer given is the total of the two and should be, for most people, a pretty close estimate of your daily calorie maintenance level. Good, because that's what we're about to do. Now that you have a good estimate of your daily calorie maintenance level, it's time for the fun part. Let's call this first part . To do this, it's going to require a fairly simple 3 step experiment.. Be as consistent as you can. If your maintenance level was 2. Just get as close to 2. Of course, if a food lists the calorie content right there on the package, you can just use that instead.). Do this for a week or two (or three). Here's how: The One Fact Adjustment. Did you end up maintaining your weight? To lose weight, start consuming 5. If your maintenance level was 3. Whatever it was, subtract about 5. Doing so will put you in a caloric deficit (you'll be 5. One Fact is happening. Translation: Weight loss will now happen. Weight loss will still happen. Whether the estimated maintenance level was too high or you just miscalculated the number of calories you consumed, it doesn't really matter. Just start consuming 5. The One Fact Experiment all over again with this new amount. If you maintained weight, you would follow the above instructions. If you lost weight, you would follow the instructions below.). Did you end up losing weight at the rate of about 1- 2 pounds per week? The One Fact is happening, and weight loss is happening at the ideal expert- recommended rate. A pound or two lost per week is perfect. Continue consuming this number of calories every day from this point on. If you fit into that category and are losing weight at this speed, you can probably ignore this. However, to play it safe, you can definitely still follow the instructions below anyway. There is a simple solution. Depending on what your weight does this time, follow the necessary One Fact Adjustment instructions. The above method uses just diet to get it done. This is a perfectly fine way to do it. However, it could get done just the same with exercise (albeit, a bit tougher). To do that, you'd just have to burn 5. For example, you could consume 2. AND burn 2. 50 more calories per day. A 5. 00 calorie deficit is still made. This method will cause weight loss at the rate of about 1 pound per week (more on that below). Then, I'd recommend adding in a few days of exercise per week on top of that. This will most likely result in close to a second pound lost per week. This means the combination of the two will result in 2 pounds lost per week, which is absolutely perfect from both a weight loss stand point and an overall health stand point. It is in my opinion and the opinion of most qualified experts the ideal way to lose weight. You want to lose weight faster than that. We all wish we could drop 2. Not only that, but attempting to lose weight faster than the above recommendation can actually be quite harmful to your health. The human body was just not designed for . At this point it will actually start to KEEP body fat as a precaution. If you go on some stupid unsafe starvation diet, your body's only real instinct is survival, and one of the first things your body may do in this situation is keep your body fat and burn muscle for energy instead. As you can imagine, this would not be a good thing. Health risks aside, studies have also shown that people who lose weight too quickly were MUCH more likely to regain it all back. That may not sound like much, but if you really think about it, it is. Do it consistently for a year, and you could lose 5. Do it for a month and you could lose 4- 8 pounds. It may not be as fast as you wish it could, but long term.. What makes being 5. Well, now that you understand what the ideal weight loss rate is, this is going to make a ton of sense. What that means is, for every 3. GAIN 1 pound of fat. At the same time, it also means that for every 3. LOSE 1 pound of fat. If you consume 5. One Fact), you will end up creating a 3. And, since the ideal weight loss rate is 1- 2 pounds per week, this would put you right within range. Add some exercise in as well, and it will bring you closer to the higher end of that range. Making small, gradual adjustments to your calorie intake is the safest way to do it and the way it should always be done. This is another reason why the One Fact Adjustments call for 5. This is all for one purpose and one purpose only.. Not too slow, not too fast. Goldie Locks would be proud. Take a breath, stretch your legs, whatever. You just learned everything you need to know about weight loss. What follows from this point on is information you'll most likely either want to know, or definitely should know. Let's start with what foods you should and should not be eating.. This information isn't as much beneficial for weight loss as it is for general health purposes. See, technically, as long as the One Fact is happening (a caloric deficit), most people will lose weight no matter where their calories are coming from. That's just how it works. And, there is a lot more to your health than just your body weight. You can reach your goal weight and still be unhealthy because of the things you are and are not eating. Let's start off with what you should NOT be eating. Unless you've been living under a rock, you're really not going to be too surprised by what shows up.. They are. Foods containing any trans fat. Foods high in saturated fat. Foods high in sodium. Foods high in sugar. The thing they all have in common (besides tasting yummy) is that they are all quick and convenient. As if being the most common sources of the extra calories people consume wasn't enough reason to avoid them, there is a ton of scientific and medical research clearly showing a variety of health risks associated with diets high in these types of foods. Avoid it all as completely as possible. I personally never touch this stuff, and it is my opinion that most people would be better off (both for health and weight loss purposes) if they did the same. For now though, just know that this is the stuff NOT to eat.

Fibromyalgia - In- Depth Report - NY Times Health. In- Depth From A. D. A. M. Background. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome of unknown causes that results in lasting, sometimes debilitating, muscle pain and fatigue. Fibromyalgia is also known as fibrositis or fibromyositis. General Description of Fibromyalgia Symptoms. Pain. The primary symptom of fibromyalgia is pain. The pain can be in one place or all over the body. The exact locations of the pain are called tender points. Fibromyalgia pain is often described as: Tender point pain that occurs in local areas, usually in the neck and shoulders. The pain then spreads out from these areas. The actual pain starts at the muscles. The joints are not affected. There are no lumps or nodes associated with these pain points, and no signs of inflammation (swelling). People diagnosed with fibromyalgia feel pain in at least 1. Widespread stiffness, burning, and aching pain. Most patients report feeling some pain all the time. The pain is often more intense after sleep is disturbed. Fatigue and Sleep Disturbances. Another major fibromyalgia complaint is fatigue. Some patients report that their fatigue is more distressing than their pain. Sleep disturbances, particularly restless legs syndrome, are also very common. Fatigue and sleep disturbances are almost universal in patients with fibromyalgia. Some experts believe that if these symptoms are not present, the condition may not be fibromyalgia. Depression and Mood. Up to a third of fibromyalgia patients have depression. Disturbances in mood and concentration are also very common. These conditions often go undiagnosed. Other Symptoms. The following symptoms may also be present: Digestive problems, including irritable bowel syndrome with gas, and alternating diarrhea and constipation. Dizziness. Painful menstrual periods. Tension or migraine headaches. Tingling or numbness in the hands and feet. Urinary frequency caused by bladder spasms. Symptoms in Children. In general, children with fibromyalgia most often have sleep disorders and widespread pain. In- Depth From A. D. A. M. Causes. In the most common type of fibromyalgia, the causes are not known. Physical injuries, emotional trauma, or viral infections such as Epstein- Barr may trigger the disorder, but no one trigger has proven to be a cause of primary fibromyalgia. Many experts believe that fibromyalgia is not a disease, but is rather a chronic pain condition brought on by several abnormal body responses to stress. Areas in the brain that are responsible for the sensation of pain react differently in fibromyalgia patients than the same areas in healthy people. People with fibromyalgia have been found to have decreased activity in opioid receptors in parts of the brain that affect mood and the emotional aspect of pain. This reduced response might explain why fibromyalgia patients are likely to have depression, and are less responsive to opioid painkillers, researchers say. Chronic Sleep Disturbance. Sleep disturbances are common in fibromyalgia. Patients with the condition have a higher- than- average rate of a sleep disorder called periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD). Patients with PLMD involuntarily contract their leg muscles every 2.

Civil Engineering Applications for the use of consulting engineers, structural designers, and architects. Some researchers believe that fibromyalgia does not lead to poor sleeping patterns, but that sleep disturbances come first. Researchers continue to investigate the link between fibromyalgia and sleep. In one study, healthy volunteers reported fibromyalgia- like pain after their deep sleep had been disrupted. Disturbed sleep appears to trigger factors in the immune system that cause inflammation, pain, fatigue, and lower tolerance to pain. Patients with fibromyalgia have increased rates of cyclic alternating sleep pattern (CAP), which may produce serious sleep problems and have been strongly linked to symptom severity. Previous studies have also suggested that CAP may be related to PLMD. Sleep disorders that cause breathing problems are common in women with fibromyalgia. Other biological measures of troubled sleep, such as levels of the hormone melatonin (which helps regulate circadian rhythms and the sleep- wake cycle) appear to be normal in most people with fibromyalgia. Brain Chemicals and Hormonal Abnormalities. Many abnormalities of hormonal, metabolic, and brain chemical activity have been described in studies of fibromyalgia patients. Changes appear to occur in several brain chemicals, although no regular pattern has emerged that fits most patients. Since there has been no clear cause- and- effect relationship established, it may be that fibromyalgia is a result of the effects of pain and stress on the central nervous system, which lead to changes in brain circuitry, rather than a brain disorder itself. Serotonin. Of particular interest to researchers is serotonin, an important nervous system chemical messenger found in the brain, gut, and other areas of the body. Serotonin plays important roles in creating feelings of well- being, adjusting pain levels, and promoting deep sleep.
Serotonin abnormalities have been linked to many disorders, including depression, migraines, and irritable bowel syndrome. Lower serotonin levels have also been noted in some patients with fibromyalgia. Stress Hormones. Researchers have also found abnormalities in the hormone system known as the hypothalamus- pituitary- adrenal gland (HAP) axis. The HAP axis controls important functions, including sleep, stress response, and depression. Changes in the HAP axis appear to produce lower levels of the stress hormones norepinephrine and cortisol. Some studies have reported low levels of insulin- like growth factor- 1 (IGF- 1) in about a third of fibromyalgia patients. IGF- 1 is a hormone that promotes bone and muscle growth. Low levels of growth hormone may lead to impaired thinking, lack of energy, muscle weakness, and intolerance to cold. Studies suggest that changes in growth hormone likely stem from the hypothalamus in the brain. While researchers have not found a link between IGF- 1 levels and fibromyalgia, growth hormone levels in the blood may be a marker of the disorder. Abnormal Pain Perception and Substance P. Some studies have suggested that people with fibromyalgia may perceive pain differently than healthy people. Fibromyalgia may involve too much activity in the parts of the central nervous system that process pain (the nociceptive system). Brain scans of fibromyalgia patients have found abnormalities in pain processing centers. For example, researchers have detected up to three times the normal level of substance P (a chemical messenger associated with increased pain perception) in the cerebrospinal fluid of fibromyalgia patients. Using brain scans, researchers have also discovered an abnormal increase in blood flow (called . These abnormalities were unrelated to the patients' depression and anxiety levels, further reinforcing the idea that fibromyalgia is a real disorder, rather than just a side effect of depression. Some fibromyalgia patients may be oversensitive to external stimulation, and overly anxious about the sensation of pain. This increase in awareness is called generalized hypervigilance. A conflict between sensory perception and nervous system processing might occur in people with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia patients have been found to have greater awareness of, or less tolerance for, movement problems (such as tremor) that don't match with their expected sensory feedback. This mismatch in sensory signals might enhance the perception of pain. Fibromyalgia patients also seem to be more sensitive to sounds. Immune Abnormalities. Fibromyalgia has symptoms that resemble those of some rheumatic illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus). These are autoimmune diseases in which a defective immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own healthy tissue, producing inflammation and damage. The pain in fibromyalgia, however, does not appear to be due to autoimmune factors, and there is little evidence to support a role for an inflammatory response in fibromyalgia. Psychological and Social Effects. Although not primary causes, psychological and social factors may contribute to fibromyalgia in three ways: They could make individuals susceptible to fibromyalgia. They may play some role in triggering the onset of the condition. They may perpetuate, or be responsible for, the condition. Studies have reported higher numbers of severe emotional and physical abuse in patients with fibromyalgia compared with the general population. Most often, the abusers are family members or partners. This suggests that post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or chronic stress may play a strong role in the development of fibromyalgia in some patients. PTSD, an anxiety disorder, is a reaction to a specific traumatic event. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons; fatigue; and multiple tender points on the body. Some evidence indicates that PTSD actually results in changes to the brain, possibly from long- term overexposure to stress hormones. Muscle Abnormalities. Some research has found muscle abnormalities in fibromyalgia patients. These problems can be classified as the following: Biochemical abnormalities: Fibromyalgia patients may have lower levels of the muscle- cell chemicals phosphocreatine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Such chemicals regulate the level of calcium in muscle cells. Calcium is an important component in the muscles' ability to contract and relax. If ATP levels are low, calcium is not . The abnormal capillaries could produce lower levels of compounds essential for muscle function, as well as reduce the flow of oxygen- rich blood to the muscles. To date, none of these abnormalities has a clearly defined relationship with fibromyalgia. In- Depth From A. D. A. M. Risk Factors. About 5 million Americans have fibromyalgia. The condition affects women more often than men. Some evidence suggests that several factors may make people more susceptible to fibromyalgia. These risk factors include: Being female. Coming from a very stressful culture or environment. Having a psychological vulnerability to stress. Propane Tank Installation & Propane Delivery in Houston TX.

Sometimes, as a busy parent, it will be nearly impossible for you to make healthy snacks at home. If you must offer store- bought snacks, choose the healthiest options possible. If they are in the house, a teenager will eat them! There are three broad theories about evolution and food. One is that humans have become adapted to the products of. Transcript: Preventing Crohn. Though you likely can’t prevent your teen from choosing these options at school or at the movies with their friends, you can provide better options at home. Avoid “power” bars. These convenient, portable snacks are often packed with sugar and fat. Most have added some vitamins and nutrients, but the amount of artificial flavorings and chemicals they contain usually outweigh the benefits. These are every bit as convenient as a power bar, but offer a good variety of whole grains, nuts, and fruit. You can also pick up individual trail mix packets with similar ingredients. Greek yogurt offers a lot of protein, but any low- fat yogurt is a good option for teens on the go. You can get these salted or unsalted, in bulk or individually wrapped. Be careful about portion control though, as nuts are high in calories. These are a great option for a teen who tends to grab chips and dip, but they offer much more nutritional value than potato chips. You can also rotate in healthy dip options, such as hummus. These packs come in every variety, from sweet treats to nuts to crackers. The House of Councillors (. The House of Representatives is the lower house.

As those of you who’ve followed this blog in any of its previous incarnations (Nutwiisystem. PS3. Fitness. com, 3d. Playstation. net) know, the “holy grail” I’d been seeking for so many years was a active gaming experience on a console so immersive and compelling that “you got a workout without even realizing you were exercising”. We’ve come close over the years, with popular games like Just Dance for the Wii, Kung Fu for Kinect for the Xbox One, and Move Fitness for the PS3. But as fun as those games were and as captivating as the experiences became, you never quite forgot that you were in front of a TV as you tried to stay within the game console sensors. So I’ve decided to be an early adopter to virtual reality technology. But that begged the question, do I choose an HTC Vive, an Oculus Rift, or a Playstation VR? In my last post on the subject I went through the rationale of why I was choosing the PSVR and the Playstation 4. The main reason came down to cost: it’d cost close to $2. PC and an Oculus or Vive, when it’d be closer to $8. PS4 and a PSVR. But User- friendliness was another reason. I tried out the Vive at my brother- in- law’s place recently and I was impressed by the technology, but as with a lot of things in the PC gaming world, setting it up and using it just felt more involved and “technical” than I would have liked. While I’m a pretty technical person in my work life, in my leisure time, I really just prefer not to think too much to set up hardware and software. I just want to start using it. So that reinforced my decision to go with the PS4, as Sony has a lot more experience with “plug and play” than Oculus/Facebook or HTC. Honestly, I hadn’t really been planning on getting a Playstation 4. There just aren’t enough hours in a day for me to play console games anymore. But with the potential of virtual reality for fitness, suddenly that equation changed. From a perspective of time, I wouldn’t be wasting time playing video games if that playing resulted in me working out and improving my health. And from a cost perspective, the cost would be comparable to buying an expensive piece of home exercise equipment or a gym membership–with the difference being that I’d actually use it. So throwing caution to the wind, I bought a Playstation 4 Pro and a PSVR, knowing full well that there weren’t likely to be any mainstream game developers developing “active games” for them today. This is thanks largely to Microsoft. Remember when they tried to “force” all their users to the Kinect? There was a huge backlash from the gaming community, and most industry experts point to that as the moment that the Xbox One was forever doomed to lag behind the PS4–and that motion controls in gaming officially died. Not soon after that, Microsoft, Sony, and even Nintendo abandoned active games and motion controls. While executives at Microsoft are probably still scratching their heads at why the Kinect failed, to me the answer has always been obvious. With the exception of Nintendo and maybe one or two independent developers out there like Virtual Air Guitar, most developers just didn’t “get it” when it came to motion controls. They lazily tried to develop video games the way they always did and slap the Kinect interface over them, essentially making motion controls just a proxy for button mashing on a controller. Luckily there was a backlash the other way and they quickly backtracked and said that some PSVR games MAY NOT require Dualshock Controllers. To Sony’s credit, something else they did was rather than tossing the Playstation Move (which had always been pretty good technology), they’ve decided made it part of the PSVR experience, to the point of including it in the launch bundle. I think this was prescient of them. While the marketing folks at Sony are clearly skittish, my prediction is that once people try out a few VR games, they will DEMAND motion controls. In other words, players of virtual reality games want to replicate “real” reality–and the reality is that most of us “move” when interacting with our world. But we will probably have to wait a bit. Looking over the launch titles it looks like most games still depend heavily on the Dual. Shock and/or your head movement to control things. And even games that do use the Move controllers seem to do so fairly passively–you use the Move controllers to pick up and examine objects, shoot a gun, and so on. So as far as the launch titles go, there doesn’t seem to be much as far as “PS4 fitness games” go as far as creating games that will get you sweating and your heart rate up. But hopefully once enough people adopt the technology some independent developers will start to “get it” and develop native VR games that toss away old paradigms. Here’s hoping that someone, somewhere is working on games that’ll let you go boxing, hit a baseball, swing a tennis racket, and so on. That said, I’m always scouring the Playstation Store online to see if there are any games that might fall into the category of an active game that’s good for a workout. If you hear of any PSVR games that sound like they might be good for exercise and workout (or if you’re a developer working on such a game), definitely let me know in the comments and I’ll be happy to showcase it here. Having said that, here are some of my first observations about the VR technology itself. Playstation VRTo be honest, my first impressions of my new PS4 really weren’t much different than my old PS3. Granted, it has better better graphics (and still no 4. K Blu- Ray. But outwardly, it doesn’t seem too much different than the big black box that was the PS2 and the big black box that was the PS3. On the other hand, the PSVR unit impressed me as soon as I unboxed it. I decided to go for the launch bundle. Opening the box there were two other boxes, one holding the Playstation Worlds CD, the Move controllers, and the Playstation 4 Camera, and the other with the PSVR unit. They clearly engineered the PSVR box not just to be utilitarian but also to be impressively designed a la Apple. The box is made of thick glossy cardboard, the top cover dramatically opens to reveal the contents (and stays propped open with a built- in strap), and inside you’ll find all the parts neatly organized in other boxes, underneath which is the VR headset itself. It was clearly designed to reflect a premium product. It could have been an involved process getting it set up, but they made it easy by including a giant instruction manual with big, clear pictures for each step–literally devoting a page for each time you have to unplug or plug a cable. Every included cable is even tagged with a large number tag, which is repeated on the outer box and in the manual. Clearly unlike HTC and Facebook, they intend to sell this to the masses and not just to techies. It’s really hard to mess this up. The parts consist of the VR headset, a processor unit (controller box), an HDMI cable, a USB cable, an AC adaptor and power cord, a connection cable for the VR headset with two plugs on one end and two jacks on the other, and stereo headphones. If you bought the launch bundle you also got a Playstation 4 camera (required) and Move controllers (required for certain games). They made installation pretty simple. All wires go into what they call the Processor Unit, which is the “brains” of the PSVR. It has ports for a power, a micro USB connection to the PS4, an HDMI connection to the PS4, an HDMI connection to your TV, and two jacks for you to plug in the cable to the PSVR headset. To start, you basically need to unplug your HDMI cable from your PS4 and plug it into the VR box. You’ll plug a new HDMI cable from the box to your PS4. This allows video signals to be sent to the VR headset’s OLED display. You also will need to plug your Playstation Camera into your PS4, if you haven’t already. This is not the same Playstation Camera for the PS3. It’s a unit with two lenses about the size of a large roll of Menthos that you put in front of your TV screen. You should also install your PS Move controllers if you haven’t already (these are the same that they sold for the PS3). Finally, you plug the VR processor box’s power adapter into an AC outlet, and plug the VR headset to the VR processor box using a long cable they included. The cable was the one thing I wasn’t crazy about with the PSVR–I like the fact that they made it long so you can sit plenty far from your TV, but the way the cable goes into the headset it always seems to get in your way when you try to put the headset on and off. The headset consists of a bulky white headband holding bulky lenses that look like a cross between ski goggles and a Star Wars stormtrooper mask. It took some getting used to getting it to fit properly on my head, but it’s pretty well engineered to accommodate just about any head size and shape. You can expand the circumference of the headband to accommodate individuals of any head size by pressing a white button on the back and stretching it, or you can tighten it by rotating a round gear. Similarly, by pressing a black button on the bottom, you can move the goggles closer to or away from your face to ensure a snug fit against your face. Between the cables, adjusting the top band for your head, and adjusting the snugness of the goggles to your eyes it takes a bit of effort to get your headset on. But after about 1. I finally was able to get it on and off pretty quickly. I wear glasses, but the goggles fit perfectly on top of them. You then power on the PSVR unit by pressing the power button that’s on a small control unit on the long cable (which also includes volume control, a headphone jack, and a mute button). They wisely didn’t make all the buttons the same feel–the volume buttons stick out, while the power button is flush with the unit, so you don’t have to guess when you’ve got the glasses on and are pressing it.

Nellie- Estimates on the precise effect weight has on running performance or pace varies somewhat, but most are in agreement that a lighter weight results in faster run times, at least to a point. Running fitness is primarily measured by our VO2 max, which stands for maximum volume of oxygen. 15 Teeny Tiny Changes To Lose Weight Faster Here's how to lose weight with just one easy tweak to your routine per week By Alyssa Shaffer February 25, 2014. This wikiHow will give you some tips to help you run faster. Figure out your current speed.(Make sure you stretch before you start to run.) Before. One's VO2 max represents the maximum amount of oxygen that can be delivered to working muscles in a given amount of time per unit of body mass. Typically, the higher a runner's VO2 max, the faster the runner; therefore, the lighter the runner, the higher the VO2 max, the faster the run times. It is important to keep in mind that there are other variables that also impact the correlation of VO2 max and running speed, like running economy, but weight is certainly a significant component of the formula. There are various formulas that predict the effect of weight loss on running speed. The effect of weight loss and run pace multiplies over distance; meaning that the longer the run, the more significant the amount of time saved. Some estimates project that losing ten pounds can result in a savings of 2. A PR just waiting to happen! Our weight is a result of calories in versus calories out. Since you have already been running for a number of years, you should have already established the conditioning to intensify your running routine, which would allow you to burn more calories. Nutrition > Weight Loss > Energy Expenditure > METs. Energy Expenditure of Activities. Physical activity has a large effect on total human energy expenditure, and.You can increase your mileage gradually and incorporate some longer runs to burn more calories, or add in some speedwork, or a combination of both. Combining your running program with some reduction in calorie intake, should allow you to see some results fairly quickly. Be cautious about restricting your calorie intake too much because calories provide energy for running. The general guideline for weight loss for women runners is 1. This amount of calorie intake should allow you to eat a healthy, balanced diet and maintain your running. All the best! Susan Paul, MSSusan Paul has coached more than 2,0.

The running program below, adapted from the New York Road Runners Club, does exactly that and is an example of an ten- week run/walk strategy, aimed at beginners in good health. All it requires on your part is the commitment to go out and run 3, preferably 5 times, a week. You’ll know how often to run, by listening to your body. Some people take more time to recover between workouts and need to run fewer times a week, while others recover very quickly and can run more. Also, be sure to meet your body’s daily nutritional requirements, as you need these nutrients to get stronger from your running sessions. Eating right will help you recover faster from your workouts. Read more about what to eat before and after a workout. Depending on how often you are running, try to allow for a day of recovery between runs. For example, if you are running 4 times a week, avoid running 4 consecutive days. RUNNING INTENSITYWarm up before you start with a 5 – 1. Run at a moderate pace, at 6. You should be able to pass the “talk test.”If you run flat out, you will be too exhausted to repeat the intervals and will probably vow to never run again. The walking breaks are important too. Walking intervals allows you to recover and means that you can run for longer. Remember, you are running for endurance, not sprinting. It also breaks your run into manageable parts, decreases the likelihood of aches, pain and injury. You feel great afterwards, not overwhelmingly fatigued and completely exhausted. You can for long distances, which you otherwise wouldn’t be able to do. WEEKRun- Walk Plan. Total Duration. 11 min run, 2 min walk (7x)2. Run 2. 0 minutes continuously. This program should suit most non- active beginners. Therefore, if you can, follow the program exactly. However, if you are very overweight, older or have been very inactive, it will probably take longer. Do not exceed what you can do, listen to your body. Stay at the level you can handle until you feel able to move to the next stage. It doesn’t matter if it takes you twenty weeks. The goal is to get there. On the other hand, if you have been somewhat active before, you may find the program too easy and progress quickly (or try the fast- track beginners running plan). In that case, simply move forward to the next level. Once you hit 2. 0 minutes nonstop running, move on to the advanced beginners program. You may be able to complete 3. The goal of this running program is to get there uninjured and it is better to veer on the side of caution. For some tips on running form check out the running form infographic. Remember to clear any exercise program with your doctor before starting, especially if you have any medical condition. Once you have completed this program you can continue your improvements by moving on to the next. How Much Weight Will I Lose if I Run a Mile Every Day for a Month?

Marathon Fueling — Runners Need Proper Nutrition and Hydration for the 2. Mile Stretch. By Janice H. Dada, MPH, RD, CSSD, CDE, CHESToday’s Dietitian. Vol. 3. 6Don’t let misperceptions about nutrient intake become athletes’ stiffest competition. According to Marathon. Guide. com, in 2. United States—an increase of about 9. Legend has it that Pheidippides delivered the momentous message of their victory and then collapsed and died. Completing a marathon is a feat of strength, endurance, and stamina, and proper hydration, nutrition, and training are vital to a runner’s success and survival. Runners, especially novice runners, may need guidance from nutrition and sports professionals before attempting the 2. Physical Training Techniques. Logging miles is key to successful marathon completion. New runners may wish to spend several weeks to months establishing a good running base by engaging in 2- to 5- mile training runs several times per week before adding additional mileage. Hal Higdon, a well- respected runner and author, even recommends a one- year running base of distances between 3 and 6 miles before a novice runner attempts to train for a marathon. The weekly long run is the most important element of the physical training program. There are several Web sites and books that provide detailed running plans dictating how many miles an individual should run on each day of training. Many participants choose to join running groups (eg, Team In Training) that do weekly long runs and sometimes midweek training runs together. Most training groups charge a fee or have requirements for fund- raising for notable charitable causes. For someone who is new to the sport, participating in training runs, long runs, and fund- raising can mean taking on a lot of responsibility. Table 1 (below) highlights week one of Higdon’s 1. All marathon- training programs gradually increase the running distance and max out about four weeks prior to race day, with about 4. Higdon’s novice program suggests the schedule noted in Table 2 four weeks before the big event. A training program for experienced marathoners follows a similar progression. However, the weekend long run begins at about 1. Some programs have runners extend the longest run beyond 2. Also, many experienced marathoners take only one full day of rest and the other rest days include an “easy” run. Some running experts consider rest to be just as important as the training runs. Without proper rest, a runner will be prone to exhaustion and injury. After the runner completes a peak long run, he or she initiates a taper, a gradual reduction in training miles to rest the body about a few weeks before the marathon. Proper tapering allows damaged muscles to heal and also promotes optimal glycogen storage. Both experienced and novice runners must taper their mileage in the two to three weeks prior to race day. Fuel the Body Right. As runners’ training mileage increases, so do their calorie needs, especially calories from carbohydrates. Runners need between 7 and 1. They require high amounts of carbohydrates to saturate the muscles with glycogen, the storage form of carbohydrate that fuels endurance exercise. The training diet should be at least 5. The “Endurance Athletes’ Nutrition Needs” sidebar highlights an endurance athlete’s nutrition needs. Additionally, since running (and exercise in general) produces free radicals from the extra intake of oxygen, runners should pay attention to their antioxidant intake. While the body’s cells are equipped with enzymes that protect against free radical damage (such as superoxide dismutase), they do only part of the job. Antioxidants from food help provide the rest of the natural defense. Runners should consume at least eight daily servings of antioxidant- rich fruits and vegetables. Runners in training need plenty of minerals (eg, zinc, iron, manganese, copper) in addition to vitamins C and E to increase antioxidant defense. They can achieve a proper intake of these nutrients by eating plenty of green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, carrots, whole grains, meats, seafood, and fortified breakfast cereals. Runners should also consume at least two servings of fatty cold water fish each week due to the inflammation- fighting power of omega- 3 fatty acids, which help alleviate muscle soreness and boost immunity. Snack Before You Start. Eating prior to exercise can be tricky. Runners should consume between 4. However, depending on the training run or event’s start time, this may be difficult to do. The Honolulu marathon, for example, starts at 5 am to avoid extreme temperatures during the event. Many runners have trouble waking up to eat at 2 am or 3 am. Runners participating in a race that begins very early in the day may do best to eat a late dinner and/or an evening snack and consume an easily digestible carbohydrate food before the race (eg, sports drink, sports bar, energy gel). For runners who can eat breakfast before the race or whose stomach tolerates a meal closer to the start of exercise, a breakfast cereal with fruit and 1% milk or soy milk or a whole grain bagel with tomato and low- fat cheese is a good option. Runners should aim to consume at least 1. On Your Mark, Get Set, Eat. One of the biggest challenges some runners face when training for a marathon is teaching their belly to accept food during exercise. Carbohydrate, fluid, and electrolyte balance is vital to a successful run and survival. It is important for runners to experiment with various types of foods during exercise to determine which work best. When eating during a training run or event, a runner should consume a food item that is high in easily digestible carbohydrate and low in fat and protein. Since fat, protein, and fiber slow down the digestive process, runners should avoid these nutrients to keep their stomach calm. Digestion during exercise is difficult enough since the blood supply is diverted to the working muscles at a time when it would normally be focused on the stomach and proper digestion. Some popular foods that athletes use to fuel continuous endurance exercise include sports bars (eg, Power. Bar, Clif Bar), sports drinks (which serve a dual purpose of supplying carbohydrate and fluid), energy gels (eg, GU, Clif Shots), jelly beans, gummy bears, fig bars, bananas, and pretzels. Why a person chooses to carry one of these food items over another may boil down to convenience. For example, it is much easier to stuff a couple of energy gel pouches into a pocket than a couple of bananas. Those who prefer bars should opt for ones without chocolate coating or chips to avoid a melted chocolate mess during the run. Runners should drink at least 8 oz of water with any food consumed during exercise and aim to consume 3. Fluid intake during exercise should match losses. Runners can ensure they have taken in adequate fluid during training runs by weighing themselves before and after the run. Weight loss after a run is fluid loss and must be replaced to adequately rehydrate. For every pound of weight lost, runners should take in an extra 2 to 3 cups (1. Runners should consume between 5 and 1. Those who consume carbohydrate in the form of gels, bars, or other foods high in carbohydrates and electrolytes can consume water during training runs or the event. Some runners may opt to use sports drinks as their source of carbohydrate, electrolytes, and hydration. However, runners do not have a choice as to which company will provide the sports drink on race day. To minimize variables, individuals should train with the sports drink that will be provided at the event. This information is usually available on the marathon’s Web site several months ahead of time. It is possible to consume excessive amounts of water or sports drink. There have been many case reports of hyponatremia over the years in runners who consumed too much or only water during a marathon. Too much pure water will dilute sodium levels and cause hyponatremia, which can be fatal. In contrast, the runner who consumes too little fluid or too much sports gel or sports drink and no water may be at risk for hypernatremia. Hydration during a marathon is a delicate balance of fluid, carbohydrate, and electrolyte consumption. Postexercise Needs. Individuals should consume calories and fluids immediately following the training run or event in the form of a 1. Eating a high- carbohydrate snack with a modest amount of protein in the immediate postexercise period has been shown to quickly stimulate the replacement of glycogen that was used up during the exercise bout. This aids recovery and will allow the runner to start stocking up on stored carbohydrate for the next run. Runners should consume a real meal within two hours of run completion that contains carbohydrate and protein in a 3: 1 ratio to adequately replenish glycogen stores and rebuild muscles. They should also consume plenty of liquids until urine is pale yellow or clear. Tips for the Taper. During the tapering period, it is important for the runner to cut back about 1. It is normal to expect some weight gain with a taper due to the increase in glycogen content. However, many runners feel ravenous during this time and some gain too much extra weight because they do not adjust their diet accordingly. Too much extra weight will make the marathon more difficult, so it is important to emphasize this point to runners. Counsel them to fill up on foods that will not add a lot of unnecessary calories, such as soups, fruits, and vegetables. The average runner needs at least 3. The Day Before the Main Event. The day before a race should be one of minimal exertion. They should consume plenty of fluids, and carbohydrate should make up about 7. Runners should eat small amounts throughout the day and constantly sip on a water bottle. Whole 3. 0 – Day 1. The food’s still good. The menu planning is still working. My pants continue to get baggier, and by Day 2. I was shouting to anyone who would listen, “The Whole 3. FREAKING RULES.” It hasn’t been easy every single step — both Garrett and I have each had an anxiety dream about accidentally eating something “off limits” (mine was an Iced Mocha with whipped cream, his was Chicken Wings and Beer) which is sort of hilarious and very demonstrative of our level of commitment to this project — but overall it has been really eye opening. One of the things that the Whole 9 folks are famous for — their tag line, if you will — is “Let us change your life.” Listen, that sounds lovely and all, but since I went into this little experiment already understanding the nuts and bolts of Paleo, feeling pretty confident in my choices, and not really needing to be convinced of anything, I wasn’t really expecting my life to be changed. I mean WOO WOO — if it changes someone else’s life, great. Prooooooobably isn’t going to change mine much. You see where this is going don’t you? God I’m such a smug, stubborn ass sometimes. Twenty One days has changed my life. And there are still 9 days to go! And I’m actually excited about it. I’m trying to figure out how to succinctly sum things up but it’s hard. The menu planning is still working. My pants continue to get baggier, and by Day 21 I was shouting to anyone who would listen, With warmer weather just around the corner, it may seem like the world is abuzz with weight loss tips and fitness strategies. And while there are few things as lovely. It Starts with Food by Dallas & Melissa Hartwig: What to eat and foods to avoid. Juice fasting is a life changer. As I've just said, juice fasting is a life changer, not only for me, but for the thousands of people I have guided and coached. It’s an entire experience and it’s not black and white. I’m not having one specific light bulb moment that I can share in a soundbite, but if I had to force myself to say one it would be this: Managing Little Things Has Made Such A Big Difference. It’s very easy to ignore the little things. To say, “Oh a few cocktails with friends, a handful of chocolate chips every night — those things are just small, they don’t matter in the long run.” But it’s also very easy to get SO caught up in the little things. Maybe I should be eating less fruit. Maybe I should eat 5 meals. It didn’t happen to me over night, but the combination of not thinking/overthinking allowed me to meander a bit while still feeling productive instead of moving directly and progressively towards my goal. The goal for me has always been to get healthy, lose body fat, prime my body physically and hormonally so I can have a cute little baby with my very adorable partner in crime. It’s been amazing how freeing this experience has been from both of those thinking connundrums, and it is remarkable the amount of progress that I’ve made towards all of my goals. The commitment to go for 3. Paleo parameters) is tough. No honey, no molasses, no maple syrup. No glass of wine on Saturday night. It’s a little bit Draconian at first. But along the way, there was a tipping point where it became freeing. No need to manage the moderation. And in the meantime, because I was already adhering to the Whole 3. I allowed myself to spend a month on just “Eating food that makes me healthier” with no focus on macronutrient ratios or specific timing or combinations. That meant sweet potatoes if I felt like it, without wondering if I had worked out hard enough. Fruit if I wanted a little touch of something sweet, or to feel like I’m having a treat. More chicken at lunch if I wanted it. A little slab of ghee on my broccoli. Just consuming food that does good work. I gave myself a 3. The only requirement was to listen to what my body wanted. And what do you know, without giving your body little hits of disruptive things like sugar and booze and cheese here and there that confuse its innate signals — your body tells you pretty clearly what it wants. Feeling well on T3 therapy has everything to do with the T3 stimulation being strong enough to get the temperature up to normal, and steady enough to be well tolerated. The search for the sisterhood.

We were amazed by the responses and hope you are, too. Sit back, relax, and be amazed at what the human body can do! And perhaps get inspired to go upside down yourself! It is really freaking smart, actually, and works with an alarming amount of efficiency that can totally be trusted. I’m humbled by it, and have really felt in awe of how the body works when you give it good, real food and don’t try to outsmart it. It is recalibration in it’s truest form, with no need to only drink liquids, feel hungry, or eat during specific windows. It’s been 2. 1 days of eating with my heart and not my head. Because life happens, and no matter how flowery and happy I feel about this whole experience right now, I don’t plan to live the rest of my life without sugar or booze or the occasional nose dive into a bowl of corn chips (WITH SALSA!). I plan to see friends and socialize freely and make the best decisions I can in the moment. In September I plan to BBQ with my family, pick up my wine shipment with Garrett and enjoy some tasting. I plan to make a Paleo Apple Crumble when the air starts to get crisper and the tree branches in the foothills get heavy. All of that is going to happen, and that is okay. But now I have the muscle memory of what consistent, good food decisions feel like. And when you’ve got that, it’s hard to let it go. What I’m sure of, is that for a while, something is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally going to have to be worth it to derail me from all this goodness. I imagined myself penciling in Mexican food and feeling relief at being able to drink again, but honestly I don’t feel like any of that right now. EVEN MY GLASS OF WINE. I would not lie to you about wine. I’m sure that I will get to a point again where I will feel the need for my body to reset. Life is long, I don’t have any desire to get through it perfectly and without deviation. I will not always make the best decisions all of the time. But now I know that I am only 3. From feeling like my best self. And I can do all that without to much grumbling really. And knowing that, has given me confidence and a security blanket that I didn’t even know I needed. And it has definitely changed the game. Square Root of Minus Garfield: Archive.

The Best Foods to Boost Metabolism and Shed Pounds. By Ori Hofmekler. What you're about to read here may change the way you think about food. Yes, once you see the facts, you'll realize that most of the products on the grocery shelves don't fit your biology. Most of today's dietary products are not designed to keep your body young. The genes that regulate your biological age are highly sensitive to your diet, as they're triggered or inhibited by what you eat, how much you eat, and how often. The point is: You need to know how your diet affects your biological age. You need to know what food keeps you young and what food is making you old. How Your Diet Affects Your Biological Age. It has been largely agreed that one of the most detrimental causes of aging is excessive calorie intake. Scientists speculate that humans have an overly strong drive to eat when food is readily available. And since people are surrounded today with calorie dense food, they tend to consume excess calories, which then cause them to gain weight, lose health, and age prematurely. Given this, many believe that calorie restriction is the most effective strategy to get in shape and counteract aging. But the calorie restriction theory is only partly true. It can't always predict whether you'll gain weight or lose weight, neither can it predict whether you'll get in shape or get out of shape. You can be on a low calorie diet and fail to lose weight, and you can be on a high calorie diet and yet manage to slim down. Emerging evidence indicates that there is another powerful factor behind the scene – one that overrules and dictates your energy expenditure, metabolic rate, body fat percentage, physical shape and eventually your biological age. That factor is the system that controls your hunger and satiety signals. And as you'll soon see, it has nothing to do with your calorie intake, but rather with what you eat and how often. How Your Hunger- Satiety System Affects Your Physical Shape. Your hunger- satiety system consists of multiple neuro- peptides that act to initiate or terminate your feeding. These are your hunger- satiety hormones. Their signals are integrated by centers in your brain to modulate how you consume, spend or store energy. The balance between these signals dictates whether your body is in a fat- burning or a fat- storing mode. In order to maintain a healthy body weight, your hunger and satiety signals must continually adjust your food intake to your energy expenditure. Any imbalance between these two will affect your fat stores and physical shape. Obesity, for instance, is a result of a disrupted energy balance in which a surplus of accumulated food energy is stored as body fat. Again, your physical shape seems to depend on the ratio between your hunger and satiety hormones and so is your biological age. Both hormones regulate your eating behavior and metabolic rate, albeit with opposite effects on your body. Hunger Hormones vs. Satiety Hormones. Your hunger and satiety hormones are constantly clashing with each other like two armies at war. And the consequences of that hormonal clash are manifested in your body. Hunger hormones tend to slow your metabolism and increase your body fat whereas satiety hormones tend to boost your metabolism and decrease your body fat. Simply put, if your hunger hormones get out of control, you'll be prone to suffer from a sluggish metabolism and excess body fat. And if your satiety hormones take over, they will counteract the effects of your hunger hormones to allow you greater energy and a leaner healthier body. But note that your hunger hormones are not inherently bad; when balanced, they play important roles in your metabolic system. Under healthy conditions they may even help you burn fat. The hunger peptide ghrelin, for instance, is a most potent trigger of your growth hormone – it binds to growth hormone secreagogue receptors (GHS- Rs) and increases its release by six fold. Indeed, fasting and hunger boost your growth hormones and potentiate its actions to burn fat and repair tissues more efficiently than drugs – naturally and safely without side effects. Your hunger hormones are part of your survival apparatus. They relate to your satiety hormones like yin to yang. They keep you alert and give you the drive to search for food along with the desire to achieve. And they balance the actions of your satiety hormones which tend to calm you down. But if you let your hunger hormones get out of control, you'll experience chronic hunger, diminished energy, metabolic decline, decreased libido and increased tendency to gain weight. You need to know how to manipulate both types of hormones to work for you. And you certainly need to keep your hunger hormones under control. But how can you do that if you don't even know what causes your hunger hormones to get out of control? What Causes Your Hunger Hormones Get Out of Control? Normally your hunger hormones are highly responsive to feeding – their levels increase during fasting and reduce upon food ingestion. Your most notable hunger hormones are ghrelin, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti- related protein (Ag. RP). During fasting, your hunger hormone ghrelin peaks, boosting your growth hormone to initiate fat burning. Meanwhile, your remaining hunger hormones are continually balanced by your satiety hormones (adiponectin and glucagon- like peptide). This keeps your hunger under control and potentiates your sensitivity to satiety signals. Then, when you resume eating, your hunger hormones decline – allowing your satiety hormones to kick in and act to boost your metabolism. That's how your hunger- satiety system works under healthy conditions. It allows you to burn fat when you don't eat and it acts to boost your metabolism when you eat. Hence, a win- win situation. But your hunger- satiety system can only function well as long as your diet is adequate. If your diet is high glycemic and your feeding episodes are too frequent, your hunger- satiety system will be utterly disrupted. Frequent consumption of high glycemic meals impairs your key satiety hormones insulin and leptin, leaving your hunger hormones unopposed and dominant. When insulin is impaired (such as in cases of insulin resistance), ghrelin levels remain elevated even after meal consumption – a condition that leads to chronic hunger (mostly for carbs), excess food intake and undesirable weight gain. This issue has been widely overlooked, perhaps because people normally like to consume baked goods and candies on a daily basis and even more so during celebrations. But the evidence leaves no doubt: frequent consumption of high glycemic foods jeopardize your satiety apparatus and put your body under the tyranny of your hunger hormones. To prevent that you need to avoid high glycemic foods and resist cravings for sweets. You need to know how to boost your satiety hormones and let them take control over your metabolism. How to Boost Your Satiety Hormones. Your satiety hormones include insulin, leptin, adiponectin, cholesystokinin (CCK), glucagon- like peptide (GLP), PPY and melanocortin. When potentiated to counteract your hunger hormones, they help increase your energy expenditure, stimulate your thyroid, enhance your sex hormones, lower your stress hormones and increase your capacity to burn fat. The three main factors that boost your satiety hormones are: – Food restriction– Exercise– Weight loss. Food restriction, exercise and weight loss increase the sensitivity and effectiveness of your insulin and leptin while potentiating the actions of your other satiety hormones. This means that with proper diet, exercise and restoration of a healthy body weight, you can increase the efficiency of your satiety hormones to allow you be at your peak physical potential. But how do you put this in practice? How do you put your satiety hormones in charge? There are three ways to achieve that: Eat satiety foods Avoid hunger foods Train your body to endure hunger Eat Satiating Foods. The food that promotes satiety most is protein. It yields satiety more effectively than carbohydrates or fat. Out of all proteins, the one with the fastest satiety impact is whey protein – that's if the whey is whole and non- denatured. Studies reveal that consumption of whey protein before meals can swiftly boost the satiety peptides CCK and GLP- 1, which have been shown to decrease food intake and increase weight loss. Whey protein is also beneficial when consumed before exercise. Having a small serving of whey protein (with no sugar added) about 3. A pre- exercise whey meal has also shown to boost the body's metabolic rate for 2. Other satiety- promoting foods are low glycemic plant foods including raw nuts, seeds, legumes, roots, cruciferous vegetables, tomatoes, eggplants, grasses and green leafy vegetables. Being low glycemic and fibrous, these plant foods are a great fit for your insulin and leptin as well as your whole satiety system. Nuts and seeds trigger PPY – a satiety peptide which is highly sensitive to dietary fat. PPY shifts your cravings from carbohydrates to fats and increases your metabolic capacity to convert fat to energy. That action counteracts your hunger hormones, which typically shift your cravings towards carbohydrates. Note that it's the shift towards refined carbohydrates that has been linked to chronic cravings and excessive food intake. This is the reason why once you open a bag of potato chips and start crunching, you may find it difficult to stop. And note that your muscle isn't programmed to do well on hunger foods; it rejects fructose and has a limited capacity to utilize high glycemic foods. But your muscle literally thrives on satiety foods. Combinations of whey protein and berries, eggs and beans or meat and nuts have unmatched muscle nourishing properties. Furthermore, being satiety oriented, these food combinations promote the right hormonal environment for muscle rejuvenation and buildup. How to Boost Your Metabolism in 3 Easy Stepshttps: //draxe.
