Body for Life..
I was skeptical at first, basically my goal is "if it's seen on tv, it's crap" .. but my (ex)girlfriend got me onto it, her father had lost 65lbs of fat and gained 30lbs of muscle in 3 months..
I've been on it 3 weeks, i'm up 2lb of muscle, down 9lbs of fat.
Basically I eat 6 meals a day, each meal has a protein portion, a carb portion, and a veggie portion. Their rule of thumb is "each portion should be the size of your fist"..
I wake up every morning, and exercise.. 3x a week I lift weights off the crappy little home gym I bought off of craigslist, 3x a day I use the health rider for 20 really hard minutes.. it's all about what they call "high point exercise" .. but when I talk to a friend of mine, who used to be a fitness geek, he says "ahh .. you mean you're exercising to failure".. basically you exercise in increasing levels to the point that you can't do anymore, in a short period of time.. then you just follow your meal plan for the day, and get at least 8 hours of sleep so the body can repair it's torn muscle fibers and build new muscle fiber..
It's a lot of hardwork, not like computers.. each day I want to eat how I used to, but then I notice the difference compared to the picture I took the first day.. and notice the fact that my new jeans don't fit just right anymore ..
