Any Advice or comments?

hey there, im new to this site as well.

check out the meal plans on this website & plan your meals in advance this helps with knowing wat to avoid.

i lost considerable amount of weight last year with billy blanks advanced taebo workout DVD 5 days a week without changing my diet, i stopped exercising for unknown reasons & gained all the weight within 5 months. im determined to do it again.

Discipline, determination and commitment will get u there!

Good luck, keep me posted

Hi

sadly I lost track of my diet i got depressed and calories kept piling up once again....
I want to get back on board and do it for real this time!


Will the fruit diet help? i was thinking diet and exercise at the gym would cost me big...

Hey Starry a few quick tips. First try to eat 5-6 smaller meals instead of 3 meals. This keeps your blood sugar stable and keeps fuel going to the muscles. Also you should not only be doing cardio (HipHop) but add weight training into the mix. Start with a full body workout 3 times a week. Start with multijoint movements which give you the best bang for your buck. Start with 2 sets of 10 reps for each exercise to get the basics down. Get a hold of me if you have any questions.

Fruit is a simple sugar source, it is also full of nutrients & antioxidants, so excluding it is not recommended.However properly place it around your workouts, say a piece with breakfast & perhaps one after a workout.Things like grains, wheat, rice, oats are slower burning carbohydrates & will leave you feeling full, for more extended periods.So try to include a moderate amount of these with each meal.As scott said above, eating small meals every 3 hours is optimal.If you don't have access to a gym, do full body plyometric workouts at home, good luck

starry your plan sounds great, just stick with it! committment will be the hardest thing by far,the only other thing i'd suggest is snacking between meals on healhty stuff, you want to eat every 3 hours. good luck and keep us posted!
