Something Negative
I saw this at another forum, and an interesting idea for a thread and for a person's general poor being.
All you need to do is like mention one negative thing that happened to you during the week or even the day just you know to express it. Most people tend to focus on the positive aspects all too often. |
Re: Something Negative
Hmm, I guess its bad that I didn't post in the 'something positive' thread though I managed to find an excuse to post in this one. :)

Re: Something Negative
Hahahaha.
+Rep. |
Re: Something Negative
I guess I'm responsible for this idea considering my last two posts in the positive thread.

Re: Something Negative
Alcoholism and homework? Yeesh you guys have good lives if that's the worst of your problems :p.
I also have a lot of homework....it kind of sprung on me out of nowhere starting last week. I have tons of reading, a few long-term homework assignments, my first paper...bleh. |

Two/almost three weeks behind in my reading from being on student film sets. So I'm somewhere between 205-300 pages behind in reading...
Fucking upper division classes. |
Re: Something Negative
I've been counting calories and trying to diet...sticking to complex carbs, lean meats like fish and chicken and turkey....I'm having some confusion because everyone says sugar is bad, but natural yummies like fruits and milk are loaded with sugar. Is it okay that I get a lot of sugar from 3 or 4 servings of fruit and 1 or 2 servings of milk daily? I figure fruit and milk is natural...and the sugar in them is different than the refined sugar in processed garbage that comes in a wrapper.
Dieting is so damn confusing. |
Re: Something Negative
After just getting my car back from the body shop I need to see why the stupid iPod connecting for my aftermarket stereo is being a jerk, which sucks because it's proprietary and I'd have to take the stupid thing out.
Can't afford it though because my paycheck that I got on Friday still doesn't cover my previous overdrafts so I'm still in the red. |

Secondly, sugar is fine. Fat is fine. Everything is fine. It's moderation that determines it. Clearly candy and chocolate bars aren't the best thing for you, but having a Coffee Crisp won't send you 15 pounds overweight. Having 2 a day, however - will. The main killer is pop, and juice. Personally, I don't drink pop anymore, maybe a couple times a month, but that's about it. Considering it's mostly sugar, it's one of the worst things you can have on a regular basis. Natural sugars are just as bad for you as sugar that's loaded in every-day crap, but you'll eat less fruit on average for that type of sugar to ever become a problem with weight gain or tooth decay. The things to stay away from, is pretty much just things like pop and ice cream. Switch to lean meat hamburgers (if you make your own), and try use lean meat in cooking instead of "regular" meat. Eat fish, rice, pasta, toast, cereal, lean meats, salads, soups. If you don't like the monotony of those things, do what I did and take up cooking for yourself, and experiment with adding spices/sauces to things to change them entirely. In the end, it's just about moderation and discretion. But no "diet" will cause you to lose weight without exercise. Exercise is clearly the most important thing if your goal is to lose weight, and not just eat healthier. |
Re: Something Negative
I'm pretty sure I've heard refined sugar is worse than natural sugars. Maybe it doesn't have more calories, but there's something worse about it.
And I mostly agree with Typhoid. Don't think you can't touch any fat food ever again. Just eat less of it. Replace it with healthier stuff, like carrots. |
Re: Something Negative
Yeah, as for losing weight, it really is exercise and moderation of food intake. I know it does matter what you eat to some degree, but it's mainly the moderation that's the key.

Re: Something Negative
I actually have the most trouble gaining weight and keeping weight on. I have Cystic Fibrosis, so my digestive system doesn't work like it should. So I'm always on supplements and high calorie/high fat diets to add more weight and keep it up.

I have been cooking a lot of fun foods with Chicken, Turkey, and Fish. You can make some amazing meals with Tuna. And you can do a lot of things with chicken and turkey that you normally think of doing with beef; things like Chili, or Tacos. And someday in the near future I'm going to try out some exotic Turkey Burger recipes. I've been avoiding pop and candy like the plague...I know that seems like a no brainer, but last year I REALLY went overboard with the pop. And I don't like ice cream all that much so that one is easy for me to avoid. :p I'm also staying away from chips as much as possible...I tend to binge on those. I also enjoy cooking. One nice thing about pursuing better eating habits is it does open up a window of cool new recipes and sauces and spices. Quote:

I don't get people's love for ice cream. I'll eat it and I'll like it, but you won't get me excited about it. |

Re: Something Negative
Just count calories and set a limit for yourself, and eat what you want. When you realize that bad stuff doesn't fill you up and costs tons of calories, you'll eventually move into eating better.
And on that note... I let myself go crazy yesterday. Ate 4,400ish calories. (I aim for 2,200-2,400) Milkshakes are baaaaad. |

My advice would be don't count calories, and don't weigh yourself every day (Weight is actually a terrible way to judge size, considering muscle weighs much more), instead - just make an estimated guess of what you should and shouldn't be eating. I count calories, and because of it I only eat 1 meal a day, and after eating more than 1 meal, I'll work out for 3 or 4 hours. Don't count calories, my advice. |

Calorie counting, and knowing your intake vs your output.. is the basic scientific way of losing weight. |

I'm actually counting calories so I can eat 7 smaller and more balanced meals throughout the day. I have not read a single good thing about limiting yourself to 3 huge meals in a day. Every source suggests the best way to go is smaller portions spread across the day to keep your metabolism going and your hunger suppressed. I have no intentions of weening down to 1 meal...I have considered the option of not eating for a day to binge on a pizza or something but I doubt I will resort to that. :p And on that note...once I drop my weight into a more healthy range, I will stop counting calories. I've attempted diets before without counting calories or taking servings into consideration, and it is incredible how much excess I would eat. Right now my BMI is not too hot and neither is my weight. I'm trying to cut fat and increase muscle without bulking up too much. That means lean meats and the occasional protein shake (for muscle), lots of whole grains, fruits and veggies for carbs (energy to run), and some fat to keep everything balanced. I'm only adding 1 serving of protein 3 days a week after I lift (23 grams of protein), and right now my body doesn't seem to like the whey protein. Anyone have firsthand experience? I hate reading shit on bodybuilding forums and google is incredibly biased for this stuff. |
Re: Something Negative
I usually eat at least 100 grams of protein per day. And yeah eating smaller spread out meals are best, but you want at least 3 meals. If you're doing 2 or 1 it's counter productive. I'm personally not a fan of whey, or any products that are built to increase protein. I just got most of mine through lean meats, nuts, and milk.
I go to the gym 5 days a week, Mon-Fri morning. |

220lbs (approx. 99kg) x .8 = 80grams of Protein. But on heavy lift days I want to kick that up to around 90-100grams to build muscle... Even with skim milk, nuts, and a dinner with a lean meat, I find that I still occasionally have difficulty reaching that limit...hence the Whey. But I'm getting bloating and constipation and if that shit keeps up then I'm ditching the weigh and just adding an extra serving of cottage cheese or oatmeal into my diet on lift days. Oh, and I have a big breakfast, a snack, a big snack or a lunch, dinner, a snack, and if I need to a snack. |
Re: Something Negative
By the way, TheGame...so far my routine is:
Monday: 15min Cardio, Squats, Deadlifts, Bench, Rows, Biceps Tuesday: 30min Cardio, leg stretches Wednesday: 15min Cardio, Squats, Deadlifts, Bench, Rows, Triceps Thursday: 30min Cardio, leg stretches Friday: 15min Cardio, Squats, Deadlifts, Bench, Rows, Shoulders Saturday: 30min option cardio: stairmaster, bike, elliptical Sunday: football (as in sit on my ass and watch it :D) Also...my reps and current weight (i'm going for good form, I see so many people with huge weight but horrible form...so that's why the low weight on some of these) bench: 135 x 10, 145 x 8, 155 x 6 (pathetic, I can't do my own weight!) squats: 125 x 6, 135 x 6, 145 x 6 (this will go up soon) deadlift: 145 x 6, 155 x 6, 165 x 6 rows: 6 x 60 x 3 And the option lifts don't matter so much...just typical curls and shrugs and stuff. At one point I was able to bicep curl the bar at 95x10x10. That's 100 reps at 95lbs. I could also do a few reps at 135lbs, haha....but I was fat! Back when I lifted I neglected cardio and diet and I got fat! That's what I'm making up for now. At one point this summer I think I was tipping the scale at like 260 or 265. I had a gut (still do) and my pecs were becoming tits. Tits = best motivation. I'm 6'1" btw, 220lbs, pretty big build....shooting for around 200lbs with muscle and more cardio endurance. |
Re: Something Negative
The best way to lose weight is to not be fat in the first place.
That or liposuction. |
Re: Something Negative
I'm 6'3", I put on a lot of weight though. Sitting at 250 now (I was 255 3 weeks ago). I've been into weights pretty crazy like since HS. At one point I was 230lbs and was below 10% body fat. My lean body mass is very high.
Having a desk job, slacking on the gym, and eating like I work out 8 hours a day = weight gain.. no matter how good my metabolism was. lol I'm trying to get back down to 230 or less again. When I gain weight it goes straight to my gut now. |
Re: Something Negative
Im around 6'1" and I only weigh 130.
But im going to assume that you guys are older and a lot stronger than me. :p |
