White pimp!

My background is in Oncology, actually. Antiobiotic and alkylated chemotherapeutics. Contact inhibition, cellular immortality; P-glycoprotein {PGP} inhibition/membrane permeability... Bad, bad shit. Before that, physics.

Edit: Re: chemo -- never allow a loved-one to receive "Mitomycin" as adjuvant/palliative or combination therapy for cancer.

Did you ever have your VO2 recorded?

Many times...

At Cal State Long Beach Human performance lab....71.8

At U of Penn Olympic training camp......72.3

UCLA.......71.6

Water immersion method each time. I don't remember the others. Must have done this 10 times during an eight year period. Ancient history.

Edit:

Sorry for a moment I got the Max VO2 and body fat mixed up.
Had that done a bunch of times too. sit in the swing. exhale all your breath..dunk you in the water.....then leisurely take your bodyfat reading while you try not to pass out.
:D

Starve yourself for a month. Look at all the people that go on hungers strikes - they look like sticks at the end of them no matter what they looked like before.

This is an interesting idea. Of course every hunger strike needs a cause no?

I might suggest a hunger strike to protest one or more of the following:

- uptic rule
- option cancel rules
- exchange fees
- CFTC restrictions on US residents trading foreign contracts
- Bernanke

You get the idea, almost anything would work here, and we'd all be grateful. Of course you will need to call reporters and get lots of liberal bleeding heart journalists to cover your story, but that is easy enough.

Constructive feedback involves some debate. Something more than, "you're wrong!" with no counter-point. I don't know it all, but more than some. Keep on eating Le Big Mac and spending 20mins in the gym on the recumbent cycle, setting 2...

You're correct; there is no point to your pedantic posts.

I did provide a counter point smart guy. I said that you do NOT need to spend 2 hours per day in the gym, CONTRARY to what you said. That's a counter-point.

Working out and eating right is alot like trading - there are different styles for different people. There is NOT one correct style, contrary to what arb may think, and you have to find what works for you.

For me, HIT is the way to go.

Good luck!
 
Yeah, for the original-poster's goal of losing his handles, 1-hour/day of exercise is more than enough. About 5-6 hours/week of exercise incorporating various types from weight/strength workouts, HIT (intervals) to steady cardio/aerobic will be fine. This will result in a 1-lb/wk weight-loss rate without sacrificing any muscle (actually rebuilding at the same time as losing). The fat will melt away and after losing 15-20 lbs,the handles will be gone! :)

You don't have to get super technical, just burn off more than you eat. Being honest with yourself and not cheating and not making "deals" is the key. This Fitday.com site provides a great way to log your food-intake and track calories. Their free tracker lets you record your meals each day and it'll give you a total. Can also break it down into constituent components of carbs, proteins, fats, etc. Can even draw graphs!

Been watching my food, but not being anal and religious about it, combined with 7-20 hours of exercise a week, I've lost 60-lbs since 1-Jan-05. Got about 30 more to go and I'll be at my target! :)

BTW - what's the financial status of Atkins nowadays...

Thanks to evryine that contributed to this thread. I believe I have gotten a game plan from what I have read.


I've been priming myself for the battle. For the last 3 weeks (on vacation for half that) I have been trying to ingest the most saturated fat I can, and balance it out with heavy drinking and exercising just enough to make a sloth look like Jack Lalane.

The plan will be to detox my body over the next week, by limiting most sat fat,no dairy, nothing white. Starting next Tues. I will start the workout.

- Strength training 40 mins/day (3 on, 2 off) never doing the same body part more than 1 in 4 days.

-Abs 10 mins 3x/week

-Cardio 4-5x/week 30-40 mins. (3-4 miles)

-5 400-500 calorie meals/day, high protein low carbs

I am very disciplined in this respect and dont think there will be a prob keeping this up for 8 weeks. I will give a weigh in and honest evaluation of my "handles" on Tues. After 8 weeks, if I dont see results, its back to pizza breakfasts.
 
No hunger strike part of plan :confused:

The thermic value of protein metabolism -- the organism burns 10 calories digesting a gram of carbs while burning 25 calories when digesting a gram of protein. This can account for 10% of BMR.

So I burn 2500 calories for every 100 grams of protein eaten? 5000 cals for 200 gms? Each gram of protein provides 4 cals of energy. So every time I eat I am at a net caloric loss? The more I eat the more I lose? LOL You better go back to class.
