Some Health Advice…

Okay, so I got this post from a guy named Luke in response to my "One Fat Bastard" post. I thought it was pretty interesting, so I decided to put it up on the site, but just remember to take this advice for what it’s worth (ie, health advice from someone who is NOT a doctor!). On a personal note, I’d like to thank everyone for their great replies on the "One Fat Bastard" thread. There’s a ton of great info on there, and the response was almost overwhelming. Makes me think I should start a "Health and Fitness" archive on the site. What do you guys think?

Anyway, onto the article…

PS: This is field tested. =)

Buy "ripped fuel extreme", or something similar you find in a fitness store. Usually the people there can help you with what you need. It PUMPS your metabolism WAY up with ingredients like caffeine, creatin, proteins, etc. Eat 1 pill when you wake up, and another 30 minutes right before you walk/run/cicle.

Oh, yeah: you have to cycle/run/walk 45 minutes per day, always the fastest you can, but constant. You’ll start out walking for 45 minutes, and as the days go on, slowly speed up. Soon (1 month or less) you’ll be able to pretty much run (as in cooper, or more) the whole 45 minutes. And believe me, with the stuff you take (ripped fuel), you REALLY feel like doing it.

Eating: eat like a KING in your breakfast (before 9 am), like a PRINCE in your lunch (between 12-2 pm) and like a BEGGAR in you dinner (8pm at most). Eat little carb (eg rice, pizza, bread and all that good stuff) on your DINNER. I said LITTLE. Avoit it. And absolutely NO CARB AFTER 10pm. After midnight, don’t eat. If you feel hungry, drink water and go to sleep.

Eat some FRUITS between meals, and avoid feeling hungry. If your hungry and don’t eat anything, on your next meal your body will store (STORE = FAT) all the food you eat, for "it" doesn’t know when you’ll eat again. So eat regularly but healthy. Avoid getting hungry. If you do, EAT A FRUIT!

Drink LOTS of water. 4 liters per day and up. I mean EXAGERATED amounts. It cleans your organism, eliminates toxins, burns fat, and its not only healthy, but ESSENTIAL. Always walk around with a bottle and sip on it. Try trading soft drinks for water or juice (natural juice, no industrial stuff). WATER IS CRITICAL!

But NEVER, NEVER, NEVER drink ANY liquid during or after a meal. Only drink 15 minutes BEFORE a meal, or 2 hours AFTER. If you’d drink during/after meals, what you eat is converted into belly fat. Plus, liquids cut the acid in your stomach, and it takes really long to digest the food. By doing this, your stomach stays full (streched) for a long time, and it loses its ability to strech and shrink, and increases the default size of your stomach. By increasing the size, you start to eat more food, more than your body needs, and the extra, of course, turns into FAT. The same happens if you eat right before going to sleep. NO FOOD 2 hours prior to going to sleep.

Last but not least: avoid anything fried. Two sandwiches is better than a sandwich and fries (actually, depends on the sandwich, and the fries. But you got the point). And prefer destilled drinks over fermented (vodka/tequila over beer/wine). Actually, fuck alcohol. Drink water.

I DARE anyone who’s not happy with their weight/belly to do this. I GUARANTEE results in 1-2 months. C’mon, you took longer than that to learn PU, do this for yourself. Plus, it’s MUCH healthier.

A LAST observation: your body burns carb (bread, rice, pizza, spaguetti, etc) FIRST, fat SECOND, and protein LAST. (I mean BURN protein, not build). So, if you’re eating too much carb, you’ll never burn your fat, and if you eat too much fried stuff/fat, you’ll replace the fat you’re burning. Exchange your combo meal at Mc Donald’s for REAL FOOD! Focus on eating non-fried food (eg: grilled meat, cooked meat, raw vegetables, cereals). Eat more vegetables (especially the GREEN ones, and I MEAN IT!!!). Eat salad and cereals. There are great dressings that can actually make it taste good =). Salad and cereals (for vitamins, essential aminoacids and periodic table stuff), cooked/grilled meat (for protein) and LESS CARB than you’re used to (for energy). MUCH less. You eat salad and a little carb, not the other way around. Else you’ll have too much carb to burn, and wont burn fat.

By eating like this, if you run, you’ll lose fat; if you pull weight, you gain muscles. If you do both, well… you get both =) And if you do both, pull weight first, running last. It’s more effective. (exercises 5 days a week)

It works.
