Hehe, its funny watching people get heated up over what other people eat
I dont care about the fat fucks eating at mcdicks. What bugs me is that my tax dollars will eventually pay for their hospital bills and health problems. OH well.
I dont like extremes. I've read the atkins diet, I've read the zone diet, I've read about all sorts of shit and know more about nutrition then I ever needed to.
Don't over eat
Eat lots of veggies
Don't make potatoes/rice/pasta/breads/etc the main course
Eat some protein with every meal, preferably a low fat source of protein like fish, chicken, tofu
Eat smaller meals more often - like every 3-4 hours
Diet isnt everything tho. You gotta get off the computer chair and move around a bit. Try stretching for 15-20 mins a night. Take a walk. Just that makes a big difference. Want more energy? Go to the gym 2-3 times per week and do an anaerobic (with weights) work out for 30-45 mins... ask the trainer at the gym to show you a decent workout routine.
Most people I know on the atkins diet had problems and gained the weight back or never lost any because the doctor just said "go on the atkins diet". People are dumb, gloss over the major points of the diet (atkins says exercise is good for you, why does no one on the atkins diet workout?) and see that atkins says they can eat steak and bacon so they chow down on tons of bacon and shit and complain when they dont lose any weight or feel sick. Dumbasses.
