It's bad all around. Even diet is bad for you. A few a week is OK, but a few a day is bad.

 

 

the store brand soda is cheaper than the store brand water

 

Eating right and buying **** from the grocery store costs more than eating every meal out at a fast food place.

 

He joked at the end and said "well there's no pay raise this year..." I told him I didn't expect one and just to still be here working was good enough. To be honest I'm in a pretty good spot right now. Boss likes what I am doing, I'm making a decent buck, the work isn't hard, I rarely work a 40 hour week, and Fiat is our parent company. We will get the vast majority of that business when it starts up.

 

Snacks are good. Like I said eat more often to keep your metabolism going which will burn the fat. Just do healthy snacks. For your size you should be eating more (yes I said that, to lose weight) Based on what you typed your body is slowing it's burning of calories because you are withholding incoming calories
The cleaner you eat the more you can eat and still lose weight.
Breakfast: Oatmeal and banana, eggs if you have time.
snack: unsalted dry roasted peanuts, almonds, yogurt, cottage cheese, fruit, jerky
lunch: PROTEIN!! turkey, lean red meat, fish, chicken .... if you have pasta make it whole grain, but pasta is a heavy carb - i recommend something like quinoa or wild rice, or sweet potatoes, or the occasional potato without all the fixins .... salads and greens are important!!!
snack: repeat
dinner: repeat of lunch

throw a protein shake in there post workout, keep the milk lowfat and don't overdo it with cheese ....

hardboil a bunch of eggs one night a week - they make great snacks too

 

True. But I feel twice as good as I did a year ago. Gotta learn how to shop too. Costco is the bomb for cheap healthy food. Farmer's markets are great in the summer too ...

 

That's way too much planning. Is this **** on the dollar menu at Wendys?

 

i still got it old man ... and as soon as this build is finished i will be picking **** up faster than before because i am in way better shape than in the last 5 years

 

Abs diet is a pretty solid plan if you want more detailed instructions. I'm with scoot on eating more calories. I found that eating more for a few weeks/month with heavy weight training help to flip your body's switch to build muscle and expend calories so once you cut back your body doesn't go into starvation mode. There is a formula to figure out how many calories you need to maintain your body weight and you can do the math to subtract daily calories to set a gradual weight loss. It's actually a LOT of food if you are eating right.

 

my blood work came back awesome, i am healthier than ever ... it's a tough adjustment but after a few weeks you actually start to look forward to cooking good stuff .... we get everything ready and in tupperware in the fridge for a few days, it's really not that bad ....

 

I got a book from men's health called "eat right every time guide" it tells you all the healthiest choices at fast food and "slow food" chains. Wendy's best option is the ultimate chicken grill and chili instead of fries. I get that 90% of the time I go to Wendy's.

 

My blood work is all good now. I'm not trying to excel at anything.

 

Cramer lost about 50 pounds in one summer working out and following the abs diet. If you look at the old school pics he was a chubby ******.

 

so you might make the headlights on my future jeep?

 

I usually get a chili and a caesar side salad.

 

no doubt .... if you did no more excercise and just cut out all sugary drinks and caffeine and drank a ton more water I bet you would notice a difference overall feeling better in a few weeks

 

I maintained my 15 lb weight loss and actually lost another 10 over the last year just by dropping soda in favor of water. I still eat like absolute **** 99% of the time.

 

buy a brita at home and just take a big water bottle to work

 

water just doesnt wash the food down well enough
