If you're putting that much time and energy into eating and working out, then you'd better be a monster. Otherwise you're like a dude on an r1 with 3 inch chicken strips.

Essentially talking the talking, not so much walking the walk.

And there's nothing wrong with being knowledgeable about a subject. But at the same time, wouldn't you wanna take fitness advice from somebody with the same ideas and goals? Somebody who can say, "I've done this, and here are the results.."

You know damn well that A plus B doesn't = C when it comes to getting big. Naturally, genetics play a good role regardless of what you eat and how you lift.

getting big != fitness

Tmall · 09-17-2009, 01:08 PM

I never said getting big does equal fitness. But, being fit most times corresponds with having muscles.

Being healthy is different than being fit, which is different than being jacked which is different than having good cardio.

Healthy can mean good cholesterol, fit can mean a 6 pack, jacked can mean 18 inch arms and good cardio can mean you can run a marathon.
Now, ask each individual from that group how they train and eat, and they'll all tell you a different answer.

But, they'll all tell you the one thing that works above all, is sticking to your program. You can eat like shit, and as long as you're active, you'll be more healthy.

Hmm, basically all I did for this thread was grab a bag of brocolli from the frig and read what was on the package. And stuff like how you can't spot-reduce fat is just common knowledge. I never posted a detailed diet plan or workout plan, like a couple other people did. So I'm not sure how you think I spend all that much time & energy on diet and fitness. And as for being a bodybuilder, I workout like 70-80% of everyone else does, and yeah that includes weight training, but doing weight training doesn't make you a bodybuilder.

People started to listen to 101, now everyone is driving GM's and not having sex. There are some pissed off mofos up in this place now. I think everyone needs to rub one out and calm the hell down.

I lol'ed. Then I took your advice.

I wanted to share my little story about this.

I started the first week of April this yr to loose weight. Buddy at work was 396lbs and went in the middle of March for a stomach band. He only asked us to give him support. I told him I would not only support him, but also do what he must, as I need to change my ways also.

I weighed in at 255lbs The heaviest I have ever been, and knew I needed to change as I was tired of looking at myself, and feeling the effects of my weight at 30yrs old.

My calorie intake is now around 1,200 or less a day.
High protein, low carbs shakes for breakfast and lunch, but also eat some veggies, carrots, celery, califlower, ect ect. Also take a complete vitamin each morning. Then eat something resonable for dinner. Eat mostly grilled foods now, and stay away from fried foods.

All breads and pasta's were limited, but also replaced with whole grain. I also can't eat all that much anymore, and try to keep my serving sizes reasonable. Takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register your full. So if you eat every meal until your full like you do on Thanksgiving your eating way too much. I also eat dinner around 6pm or so now and not waiting till later at night.

No longer eat ground beef, actually enjoy ground turkey more. Cut out alot of stuff like chips, and crap like that. Trust me if you put a t-bone steak in front of me I will eat it, however I will only be able to eat half of it.

I drink plenty of water already, but also cut out all soft drinks what little I did drink of them. Beer isn't good for you, however I still drink but do it in moderation. I love Yuengling beer, but its like a Big Mac in the carb dept.

You don't have to kill yourself at the gym, just walking or bicycling several times a week will help. I picked up kayaking, and its a blast to do with my buddy. I also play paintball which keeps you moving all day.

I only weigh myself every now and then to see how I am doing. Sometimes weeks would past before I weigh myself.

Today I am at 210lbs (down 45lbs) my goal is 200lbs and anything after that is a bonus. My buddy weighs now 285lbs, (down 111lbs since March).

I feel so much better now, I jump up in the morning out of bed, don't crawl out. I use to have headaches daily which have cut back to just once and a while. (my blood pressure was never high but I was just giving my body crap to work with) I can't wear any of my clothes without a belt, really need to go shopping for better fitting clothes. Also noticed I stand and sit up more straight now, my watch fits loose, wedding ring also.

It won't happen over night or in a few weeks, but you changing your habits and being more active is the first couple of steps to make it happen.
