Some shocking things "THEY" don't want you to know...

HFCS ( High Fructose Corn Syrup ) is a "super sugar" that can be found 3/4 of the packaged items found at the market. It's biggest hideout is "Fat-Free" items and near all baked goods. While fructose can naturally be broken down by the body in moderation, high fructose corn syrup cannot. It's a manufactured form of fructose that was designed to save food company's money because of it's extremely low cost. Problem is, it's the easiest sugar for our body to convert into fat.... and it's in almost EVERYTHING!

Here's how to cut it out of your diet. READ LABELS! Look for organic foods/breads/cereals that do not contain HFCS. Usually organic brands will replace the HFCS with honey or regular sugar that your body can break down and use for energy. Simply think natural... If it's not a fresh food, don't eat it. If it comes in a package or bag... don't eat it. EAT FRESH FOOD! Buy lot's of meats, vegies, dairy products, etc... The food manufactures are the enemy.... they are not looking out for your health. They choose products such as HFCS and tran's fat's to save money, preserve shelf life, and artificially improve taste.

Now onto TRAN'S FAT'S.... this stuff is by far the most evil thing invented.

There are four kinds of fats: monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, saturated fat, and trans fat. Monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat are the "good" fats. There is a conflict of opinion about saturated fat, but the majority opinion is that consumption of saturated fat should be kept low. Trans fat from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils is very bad, much worse than saturated fat.

Basically, tran's fat's are another manufactured evil from the food industry to save costs and improve shelf life... Problem is, it's reducing human life! They literally take regular fat's and TRANSform them into Tran's fats. A good example would be Oil to Crisco. With the fat transformed, it can now be added into all kinds of foods to "lock flavor in". Making foods taste buttery and delicious no matter how long they have been on the shelf. Regular fats would grease up manufactures packaging in a matter of weeks from just natural separation. Tran's fats do not separate. How do you stay away from them? Well... once again look for organic foods, or prepare fresh food yourself. Sure, it might be harder this way, and your foods may spoil faster, but your doing this for good health. If you wanted convenience... you'd look like every other overweight American.

Simply put.... STAY AWAY from anything that says... High Fructose Corn Syrup , partially hydrogenated, or shortening.

These products are basically a reverse lypo-suction.

:glugglug

kid, everything you are saying here is RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

i am an old guy and do exactly what you are doing (i do ride my bike 8 miles a day) and my body looks almost identical to yours at age 55.

flat bellies bang more beaver. keep telling the kids your age this message, most are overweight and will die young unless they follow this plan exactly.

WOW... old thread! :eek2

WTF?

lol

congrats to you! thanks for sharing it with us, that would really help.

Damn, old ass thread.

This old ass thread saved my life. Hope the bumpage will save a few more.

Awesome Ben! Thanks for sharing those tips :)

I've had this thread bookmarked since Ben started it! Embarking to lose a MASSIVE amount of weight (I'll be almost half the woman I am now) it certainly comes in handy. Thanks, Ben - get Bill to buy you a beer on me :)

I just started bicycling again, and plan to keep it up. The first night we went about 15 miles.
Up hills
the down hill is really fun

bump for this classic thread

nice change dude.. that must have taken a lot of work :)

R

Congrats! I know that took a lot of hard work and will power.

I have done this diet a few times, did very well, but always fall off when I travel. I end up in such 3rd world shit holes that sometimes it is just impossible to eat clean, for weeks sometimes, and it goes downhill from there.

Then at the peak of being my best, I messed up my rotator cuff lifting weights. Fucking downhill again. I was looking great but this one really did me in.

I've had a few ups and downs but need to get back in the saddle and find a happy medium somewhere, and somehow find a way to eat well on the road, but I have tried and failed. Even my buddy who is a health nut (travels with me sometimes) has to go off his diet in some of these places.

Grrrrrrr....

i'm down to 252 from 280 been 5 months. Added a lot of muscle though so I've probably lost 40-45lbs of fat

Wow I had never seen this thread and I'm glad someone bumped it. Great post BEN!

Wow...I'm actually happy to see this thread pop up again. I just spent some time going through my old photos and realizing my physical change through the years. I'm actually in shock...I guess you don't realize how much difference happened until you see photos. Wow. just....wow.

This is shocking I think. Holy shit.

So yeah. All I can say is....diet. exercise. weight training. You do all three..and keep up with it...you'll get results. I've never been happier.

If anyone has any questions regarding my diet or workout routine feel free to ask me. It's been nice having people come up to me for advice the past couple shows. Hah.

Zoe,

I personally have watched the change that you have acomplished.

Let me be the first to say that you should be supremely proud of yourself. Not just for the fact that you made a goal and busted your ass to reach it, but you are still the same sweet amazing lady that you were before. The confidence you show is very noticable, but that has been earned.

Keep up the great work everyone

I noticed Zoe had lost some serious poundage when I saw recent pictures of her - you go girl!! :)

Zoe,

You are one of my favorite people, and to see you so healthy and happy, is GREAT! I know that this took a great deal of commitment and dedication, and it has definitely paid off! You look FABULOUS!

You look awesome, Zoe! I noticed lots of the "before" photos you posted were of you looking sad and the "after" ones are much happier. :) How often do you work out in a week?

Couldn't have said it better myself. Congrats and keep it up.

Time for a bump to this awesome thread.

You don't have to be skinny, but stay fit folks.

2 gallons of water a day? If you want to kill yourself, go right ahead.
Ever hear of water poisoning?

Recent research shows that there's quite a few people who are overweight(not obese) and fit, that are healthier than people who have perfect weight but don't have any fitness at all.

Wow, congrats man :thumbsup

just started doing that myself.

Zoe is my fitness/nutritional consultant for going on 7 weeks now. I'm seeing unbelievable results.
