First, it take over three of regular weight lifting to see any increase in muscle mass. The first 12 weeks or so of exercise increases the recruitment of muscle and THEN increase in actual muscle mass may occur. You need to have some patience. Two months would be considered the very early stages of a weight training regime. Patience! 0 spiritdecreasein japan Many people believe that vegans are skin and bones due to their animal free diet. Unfortunately, vegans, just like everyone else, have to watch what they eat in order to maintain a healthy weight. Vegan diets are loaded with proteins such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, beans and lentils, as well as carbohydrate rich foods like whole grain breads, rice and pastas, all of which can contribute to weight gain if not consumed in moderation. However, since these foods are usually already fairly lowfat, vegan weight loss diet plans are usually fairly simple to initiate.
It is not exactly about a lack of vitamins/minerals, and I would not get used to substitutes for actual food: you will miss subtle cosmic energy streams for it, which you need now most of all.Of course, there is a difference between meats: fowl or fish is not the same as beef or pork. spiritdecreasein japan Hey Coach, Thanks for answering my post yesterday. You confirmed my theory that I needed more calories based on BMR and activity level. anything below 1400 is too low for me. Every time I ate less I plateaud. Being a bit of a math fan, I knew what the numbers were saying, but could not get anyone to confirm the thesis, unitl now. I’ve also looked over my analysis for the last month and two things occur. Ovulation and drop in estrogen seem to be a plateau point. Also, when I eat 1400+ calories, preferabley 1500 1600 cals, my weight starts going down. Now I exercise 1 1/2 hours atleast 5 days per week, so I need the cals. I didnt just want to lose the weight, I also want to get in shape and melt away this 43% BMI! Again, thanks for answering me and many others. With your qualifications I’m sure you make a good living giving out such advice as you have here. Thank you so much for doing it out of the kindness of your heart. May God reward you.
I would appreciate your opinion? thanksOne of the first things a pro boxer will forget are the basics. The fact is, if you are studious and perfect the basics, you will win fights. I find myself telling pros all the time to keep their hands up. That should be the first thing you learn in boxing, to protect yourself at all times and the most consistant way of doing that is keeping your hands up. It’s basic and simple to do, but it is very difficult to stress the importance. Another basic but very important aspect of winning fights is you must dictate the action and control the tempo of the fight. This means move forward and not backwards. If you can keep your hands up, move forward and stay busy with your hands, you don’t need a lot of power or speed. Winky Wright is a prefect example of sticking to the basics and winning fights. A lot of guys do more than is necessary or over think a fight. Have you ever seen a guy in a basketball game have a break away layup with nobody around and instead of just laying it in normal he will do a reverse? not only is it unnecessary and more risky but it’s still only 2 points. spiritdecreasein japan My opinion is that it is due to two reasons. First men are in general bigger than women and have more muscle mass. Therefore they eat more calories to maintain their ideal weight. This makes it easier for them to maintain a deficit while still eating satisfying meals daily. Secondly, women have to deal with their monthly cycle. Body fat is important for a successful pregnancy so their bodies tend to hoard fat as the cycle approaches each month. The female metabolism will slow to burn fewer calories and preserve fat stores for the possible pregnancy. This means potential weight lose is limit to about three weeks of each month.
