The Sideshow Freaks Fitness Thread

[karamazov80]

I know you're right Roranous and have known it for a good long while. But damn I enjoy that unhealthy, unsanitary crap. My only real vices are my diet and my toy collecting, but for my physical, psychological, and monetary well-being I should probably seriously cut back on both.

Regarding water, I probably already drink 2 gallons a day (I am constantly drinking water at work), so its just the throwing of in a soda every now and then that is the problem.

 

[Skiman]

Yeah in general healthy wise soda is not good for yah though... but I agree on the occasional fix now and then.

Update from last Wednesday. I'm down to 209 from 215. Drastically changed my diet. I've had nothing but water and diet Green Tea to drink. My caloric intake during the week is less than 1000 a day. I have one cheat meal on the weekend. My diet looks a little something like this during the week...

Breakfast:
3/4 cup Yogurt Blast Cheerios with 1% Nurture Mayfield milk
Handful of Almonds
Men's One A Day Multivitamin
Acai Berry w/ Green Tea

Snack:
Couple Apple slices

Lunch:
Kashi Trail Mix bar or a Pure Protein Bar

Snack:
Handful of Almonds

Dinner:
Same as breakfast or lunch

I've added weight lifting back into my life and I've done at least 30 minutes of cardio a day since last Wednesday.

I love food and miss it and crave it still, but I'm happy with the progress so far and a little worried about becoming an obsessive calorie counter or undoing my work with a single meal, but other than that it's been interesting.

Cool man. I hope you can find a good balance you can be happy with. I know from my own personal experience that it was tough to quit that stuff. They make it so good for a reason. After awhile you kind of grow to like "home" food. Although, in the back of your mind you still want to hop into your car and drive down to Steak N Shake.

Hey man hopefully my post of my routine helped you out a bit, 1000 calories a day is really low bro, how do u function. Ppl will say you might go into starvation mode but honestly it's very hard to do regardless you eating at least something per day but that is gonna be too low in order to start losing again. Sometimes I have to increase my calories in order to lose more, just because the body knows if you're trying to starve itself to keep the excess fat in order to protect from starvation. Hence you always hear eat more to lose more.

 

[The ill Jedi]

Good job. Keep it going and us "skinny" people will have a nice steak at SDCC 2010.

I had In-N-Out just the other day, but had a single rather than my usual double. Every little bit counts!

Yeah, that seems a bit extreme. I'm budgeting myself 2,200 (lord knows I consumed way more than that before I started), but take in around 1,800. You gotta eat in order to have something to burn. Listen to Ski.

It's not a permanent diet it's just for the first two weeks to kick start things. Weight loss programs like Nutrisystem are only 1000-1500 calories a day so I'm not worried about starving or anything. I'm just retraining myself to not have to need so many calories for the first couple weeks. After that and after I get back into the swing of things fully and can start lifting harder and doing more intense cardio I'll slowly start raising it back up to a normal level.

One thing I'm happy with in my routine is that, even though I may lose more and faster if I were to really change up my diet, but simply cutting out things I don't care much about (lots of Soda in a day, now drinking more water), and reducing my intake of the things i do like, I'm still eating foods I love but in a way that isn't damaging to me and I'm happy with that. I've seen a lot of people go on diets where they're forcing themselves to eat things they don't like or to completely give up things they love. I don't want that, I want to eat the way I like to but in control and mixed with excercise, that way I can have everything I want in life. I'm on track to have burnt off 40lbs in 6 months with my current diet style, I'm ok enough with that.

Huh? How did I get into your post?

 

[karamazov80]

Did any of you see the 60 Minutes (I think) story last week of these old folks who were trying to extend their lives by always staying hungry? I was only half-way paying attention, but they said something like they were doing this in order to keep their bodies in "survival" mode, which helped them to live longer. Supposedly research on rats supports the idea. Crazy.

That's not a bad idea if you didn't eat like me. My diet was almost exclusively cheesesteaks, burgers, tacos, pizza, steaks, bbq, fries, fried chicken. I can't eat these things and be healthy no matter how hard I work, so for me there needed to be a drastic change. Sure I'm hating it now, but in time it'll become my lifestyle.

 

[MaulFan]

Fortunately, I pretty much eat chicken almost exclusively, I'm not a red meat eater, occassionally a burger at a BBQ or restaurant if there's nothing else I like, but otherwise, i don't eat it at home, i rarely eat anything desert. My biggest downfall is pizza, and I only do that once a week. I rarely go to fast food places anymore, can't even remember the last time I went to one.

U STARVN Pix, better eat something, quick!!!!! Get back in your prime!
