In a way, most things I do are in spite of the American stereotype. Always eat home-cooked meals, never watch TV (only DVDs), put my all in my work, work out regularly, and smoke lots of weeed and feel a genuine compassion for the Earth. I can't think of a way to be any healthier.

I just started working out and eating well recently and it's going really well.

I've been at it for a month or so, and I've already lost a couple of belt notches

and about 15-20 pounds or so.

I try to eat foods high in protein, but low in fat. I've cut out soda, and mostly

only drink milk, water, green tea, and I'll drink fruit juice sparingly.

I workout at my house; I have a bowflex and a treadmill. I try to workout every

day for at least 30 minutes.

I started hitting the gym hard this year. Trying to hit that bitch 5 days a week with 2 days off. I'm executing the full body workout until i can afford a personal trainer for some iso weight lifting, not before, I'm not risking hurting my sexi flawless body. It's definitely worth it, and I recommend it to everyone, especially if you believe you have cognition problems.

Right on dude, sounds like you're on a good track. For the record, some fats can be extremely healthy to imbibe, namely mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids, so don't cut them out of your diet completely. Fish and whole grains (nuts and seeds) are good sources of those, but definitely get rid of the trans fats and saturated fats.

---

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Yup, I eat plenty of fish and I'll eat some nuts and peanut butter once and a while.
God, do I love peanut butter

@ SB: Low calorie cereals such as rice krispies, special k, corn flakes
1% Milk
Plenty of water
Turkey bacon
Cold cuts - ham, chicken breast, turkey, roast beef
Eggs
wheat / whole grain breads
Yogurt
Fruit
Vegetables
Green Tea
Fish
Lean meats and poultry
Rice

So yeah, pretty much just your run of the mill healthy stuff, LOL.
I try to eat 3 meals a day, and small snacks in between if I find myself getting hungry.
I will eat at night sometimes, but it's usually something really light, like
a small bowl of cereal or a yogurt coupled with a glass of water.

As far as working out:
I'll do the bench press, butterfly presses, tricep presses, shoulder presses, curls, seated rows, and ab presses on the bowflex. I try to do at least 30 repetitions for each exercise. I do 3 sets of 10 reps for each. For every successive set I try to add more weight.

If I'm doing cardio, I usually just walk for about 30 - 45 minutes on my treadmill at about 3.5 mph. If I don't use the treadmill, I'll try to go on a 2 mile or so walk.

I love snorting xanax...

wow. that's hard core.

I still love to get fucked up here and there but I think I will just eat my pills. I'd still snort coke if it was around. Bikram would be so dissapointed in me, but unfortunately, I think I will never grow out of the occasional desire to get obliterated if my favorite drugs are around. I still go to a rave and pop X with my little sister too, but that's like once or twice a year.

Are you trying to build muscle or burn fat? I'm a skinny fuck by nature so I usually am shooting for gaining weight via hypertrophy, and if that's what you're shooting for then you're overtraining yourself pretty bad. If you're trying to burn fat you're right on point but if you're trying to get more muscular you shouldn't be working out more than 3-4 times a week. The real work is accomplished on your off days when your body is rebuilding.

If you're new to working out however, your full body complex motions are the perfect idea. Squats, Jerk and Cleans, dead lifts and military presses are perfect until you've been working out regularly for a couple months. Iso exercises are useless for beginners from what I hear.

This.

Also, my little brother used to be a fatty when he was a kid, but then he hit a massive growth spurt and all of his fat got evenly distributed across his taller frame so he "magically" got skinny.

And now he's exercising regularly and has been putting on a decent bit of muscle lately. I'm so proud of him.

What brand of protein do you use? I used ON's gold standard whey but found it kinda subpar and I don't feel I made any significant gains with it. I've been with Pro Complex for a little though and I've enjoyed it very much.
