Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004JC Der Koenig -- Warrior diet
I don't like the idea of eating at night. What if I switch to a warrior diet like thing, where I eat only in the morning, say between 8 and 10am. Any thoughts on this. Also, do you know any books on lowering BF% for healthy people who are at normal weight. I at at 19-20& BF, according to my scale, although, supposedly I should not consider that number because my heart rate is way under 60 and I am therefore an "athlete". Anyhow, the real number if probably closer to 17-19, but my point is, I need to drop it and I do not have a clear idea how. Other than weightlifting and trying to slim down a bit more. My goal for 2004 is to lose 10-15 lbs of fat and gain 5 lbsof muscle. i Ig...heartrate schmartrate. At 250+ pounds, (female), my resting heartrate was always under 60. Usually around 48 actually. I dont think it's changed much since losing some pound either. I'm the farthest thing from an athlete. ~*~Pie~*~ 254/214.5/150 > I don't like the idea of eating at night.

I am not really an athlete, just a guy who has been jogging a few times per week for the last 20- or so years, with some interruptions. The scale though, warns that it may not do bf% measurements correctly for people with pulse under 60, which they call "athletes". Go figure. Got any thyroid issues? My pulse these days is 54-58. i > ~*~Pie~*~ > 254/214.5/150 [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >> i Doctor always checks for enlargement for thyroid but has never done the bloodwork as far as I know. I lose weight pretty readily so I'm thinking it's not an issue. I believe it's hereditary, my dad had a very slow pulse for an out of shape guy too. ~*~Pie~*~ > > Ig...heartrate schmartrate.

I would insist on taking your thyroid hormone measurements, if you are covered by insurance. i > ~*~Pie~*~ > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] >> >> >> >> i > I don't like the idea of eating at night.

As with most things, you need to try it and see how it works for you. Google the warrior diet. > Also, do you know any books on lowering BF% for healthy people who are > at normal weight.

You might want to look at Lyle McDonald's "The Ultimate Diet 2". > Anyhow, the real number if probably closer to 17-19, but my point is, > I need to drop it and I do not have a clear idea how.

When your abs are defined and your love handles are really small, then you're below 10%. I'm generalising, of course. Just look in the mirror and don't lie to yourself about whether you see an athlete or not. >> I don't like the idea of eating at night.

I just finished reading it and yeah, it's for those who would be considered at a normal, healthy BF% and want to get off those last few pounds. However, it does NOT look like fun unless you're an Obsessive-Compulsive Freak. Which I am. And no, I haven't started it, I'm easing my way back into dieting and lifting and then am hitting UD 2.0 in about four weeks.

Take yohimbe supplements. This and ephedra are two supps Lyle recommends, but of course nobody lets you take ephedra any more. Yohimbe works best in the absence of insulin :-) 2. Stay at or under 1200 kcals/day (~7x). 3. Do 500 kcals of aerobics first thing in the morning. At the moment, I do weights then aerobics 3x/week, just aerobics the other days. At this point in my "journey" I have to suck up and deal with it. It's hard! But I've got graphs that prove (to me at least) that this works. >> Anyhow, the real number if probably closer to 17-19, but my point >> is, I need to drop it and I do not have a clear idea how.

Wow, I would not be able to eat that low while spending 500 calories per day exercising!!! i > Wow, I would not be able to eat that low while spending 500 calories > per day exercising!!! There are days I tell myself the same thing ;-) You have to be really careful to get enough protein on such a diet, though. > Wow, I would not be able to eat that low while spending 500 calories > per day exercising!!! Oh, the other trick - take the yohimbe before the aerobics. My theory is that the yohimbe gets the fat out of the fat cells, and the aerobics gets them out of the blood stream. |
