RE: 6 week Body Makeover Program??
Comments (1)Do you have a link to this program? I'm out of the loop on all of this. I did have the book Diet for a Small Planet years ago along with the NY Times cookbook. Both were / are very good. Who is Michael?...See MoreMichael Thurmond 's 6 week makeover
Comments (44)Happy belated Thanksgiving- well, I have been trying to keep up with the posts and AnnieB, your results are great! Good for you!!! I read my original post and I made an error, at 3 weeks I had lost 15 pounds. Well, I got off the plan due to a trip to Paris (no way I am giving up wine, cheese and chocolate when I am in the good food capital). But I am back on the palan and it feels great to see the scale moving again. 18 down and only 30 more pounds to go. We are snowed in here and I am fighting the urge to eat warm, comfort foods! So I am off to make some tuna! If anyone has some good recipes, I would love to see them! Thanks!...See More6 Weeks to Fitness: Week #3
Comments (22)Awm, thank you for the tips and link! It was fun to see what your first impressions were. And no, no worries-- as I posted in my initial post, I was never planning on using them day after day. I had yoga and ballet scheduled in on alternate days. While I have never been good about working out, I understand the need for muscles to rest. :) I have put off buying a kettlebell, however. I am concerned about the whole lead thing . . .so many get bad reviews (leaving blisters), too. Seems like the only good ones are expensive (I am not sure about the lead in them) and I don't want to commit that much money to them w/o knowing if they are for me. Outside, wow! Three generations! That is fantastic. Should be fun just to be together! Patty, that is fantastic! Your bones must love you for putting the time into them! Beth, yay for Normal the trainer! I am so glad you clicked, and he sounds worth the investment. RE: losing an ounce, is it possible that, as your building more muscle mass, any weight you lose in fat won't show up on the scale because you are adding muscle? But, I think a visit to the doctor is a good idea . . .how do you feel? I'm sorry about your allergies! I bought ankle weight that are adjustable, but they are just too big for me. BUT, I tried them for one workout, and I see the benefit. I do the modified versions of some exercises due to my knees, but with the weights, then I am getting more out of the exercise. It's a good way for me to get a harder workout but safely. So, now I need to find some new ones. My yoga video is coming today . . .and I am going to get a few heavier weights, and maybe a video by the trainer Annie recommended. (She seems like fun!) Cheering everyone on who is doing this, including those of you reading without commenting! Some inspiration:...See MoreAnyone tried ''6 Week Body Makeover' Diet?
Comments (6)There was something on the news about a research university (Stanford?) where they found that a large plurality of people diet better on low carbs, and a similar sized percentage diet better on low fats. They have a genetic test for it. It was something like 38% of people for one and 43% for the other. I don't know if that testing is available to the public, though one could try a month of each and see how it goes, but that's the only targeted thing I've heard of with any science behind it. They've also reported that women over 30 need to up their activity level just to maintain their weights rather than lose. (Sigh.) I agree the tried and true, good nutrition, portion control, and increase activity is the best--though hardest. And getting enough sleep. The grazing diet makes one a social pariah, but it works for me if I can just bother to do it (and I need to!). Divide your target calorie intake for the day by 5 or 6, and portion your day's food into that sized amounts, putting approximately 3 hours between servings. I've actually eaten more than usual doing this and still lost weight. It makes the people you eat with cranky though....See MoreLillie1441
