It’s where she learned about that knife set!

CI is a Consumer Reports style independent foodie website that accepts no advertising. Maybe DJ has heard of it. It’s the only site I pay to subscribe to.

Great job buddy. You gave a lot of practical and sensible advice here. I like how you commented that every meal is prepared. I think that is important.

If you haven’t checked these out yet, two great resources I have found helpful have been Mark Sisson’s website (marksdailyapple.com) and a book by Gary Taubes called Good Calories, Bad Calories.

I don’t have too much of this stuff left and it is unlikely I will aquire more.

Doesn’t look like it has that heart attack inducing stuff in it. I just wanted to try it for shits and giggles.

What is the name of the supplement and what are the ingredients? Is one of them Ephedra? That shit will give you a heart attack.

Also, I’ve heard some really in-shape people say “Take advice from the people who are doing it, not the people selling it.” Alex Jones is a plump little man selling shit. I take my advice free from my friend Mike who’s lost 80 pounds, looks great, eats well and works out.

Sat, 06 Oct 2012 22:09:34 +0000 http://freedomfeens.com/blog/?p=1051#comment-575 I am on a nutritional supplement from an outfit called yungevity that alex jones is quite fond of. Gives me more energy than I have had in years, I have to exercise after taking it or I go insane. Haven’t lost any noticeable weight yet but I can run 4 times further than I used to. Feels good to run with ease again.

You sort of got me into this. I appreciate it.

I’ll have more questions for you in a month or two.

Keep it up. And to echo what Jamin said, knowing your bodyfat percentage is far far more useful than your BMI. Also, while you’ve probably lost mostly fat thus far, you will start losing muscle too as you get leaner unless you start resistance training.

A few additional points about free meals and refeeds: Refeeds are a structured overeating of carbs (with very low fat, 50 grams max) in a short period (5-48 hours depending on context) with the primary goal of upregulating hormones. Free meals are single meals (and don’t have macro restrictions) and are more useful to handle the psychological issues of dieting. When I was dieting hard, I’d skip the free meal and just refeed once a week. Occasionally, I’d do both once a week but keep them far apart (for example, free meal on Tuesday, refeed on Friday).

I belive being as fit as you can be to lessen reliance on the state controlled health care cartels is part of the path to liberty. As time permits I’ve been going through some stuff I’ve written on functional fitness and amending/editing it to post on the blog.It will explain some basics and give some sample routines w/ exercises. Hopefully people find it helpful.

I’ve lost nothing but fat so far.

Sounds like you’ve made a successful lifestyle change for the better. Be careful of using amount weight lost as a metric without determining what kind of weight you have lost. Determining your initial body fat percentage and then keeping track of what kind of weight you’re loosing is a much better way to chart your progress. Don’t even bother with BMI as it is almost completely worthless (it wasn’t even developed by people involved in fitness it was developed by a sociologist who never meant it to be used as a fitness metric). When your body goes into weight loss mode you loose muscle along with the fat. If you’re not doing any regular resistance training you will loose more muscle. That is a bad thing because it lowers your BMR (base metabolic rate). When your BMR is lowered it takes less calories to sustain homeostasis and thus makes it easier to get fat on the same calories that may have let you loose the weight. It is one of the main reasons most people who loose weight (especially quickly ie faster than ~2-4lbs a week) using just a calorie reduced diet gain it back and then some.

Yep you have to do what works for you. It’s taken a lot of experimenting, but I’ve lost over 105 lbs so far. I have another 20 I’d like to lose, then I’d be happy.

I knew you back in the good old days when you used to jam along with Pink Floyd in Jamestown, NY.
I have lost weight doing the protein shake and kickboxing diet.
You just got to find what works for you.
I gained weight when I was eating a lot of meat, didn’t work for me.
Ciao
