I just got back in from the gym...I'm pleased to report that i incinerated 1072 calories just on the treads alone,72 better than i had planned for today..won't know what i got off in weightlifting till Fri when I go to have my BMI taken....oh yeah....it's definitely on now,lmao
Based on my weightloss goals,my caloric intake is supposed to be at 2000 calories a day,with 30 grams of fat,and as stillajwexelder said PLENTY of water so that all my fat metabolizing parts have enough to keep the fire burning
I know that CalorieKing book you speak of Hortensia,I have one of those too,i usually keep mine in the center console of my car so that when i'm out i know exactly what i'm getting into when i make my order,lol...my clinic also suggest that we keep a "food journal" so that we'll know exactly what we're putting in our bodies,it also helps to find that "sweet spot" of fat burning cause you can experiment with different foods and stuff to see what effect it has on you
Snakes already did a pretty good job of covering the "need to know" stuff,so if i can find my intro package they gave me there..i'll see if it adds anything,if it does i'll post it
One more thing i learned about drinking water was that i was retaining a boatload of it,because i was in an almost constant state of semi dehydration,the water that i did manage to drink,stayed with me,adding to my weight,and making my BP shoot through the roof. I jumped on the "Atkins"fad a few years back,and been trying to repair the damage of it ever since...now when i eat sugar,it seems like it almost instantly turns to fat,so if it's starts holding me up with my goal,im going in to see a doc and see if there's anything they can do.
