I follow a rigorous 1400 calorie diet with a mostly vegetarian aspect to it (lots of veggies, legumes, fruit, tofu, fish and supplemental vitamins.). I occasionally get a hankering for a burger or bacon (and often Pho) and I will indulge since I am pretty damn healthy haha. I'm not big on sweets.


I eat 4-5 small meals throughout the day with small snacks (such as raw nuts, which I especially love to eat for the midnight munchies since they're packed with nutrients and won't go straight to my ass like chips would).

I workout for 30 minutes in the morning (Stretching, ab workout and cardio).

I go for a 15 minute walk before lunch (with ankle weights and dumbells), do and hour on Wii fit focusing on a different set of workouts each day.

Before dinner I go for a bike ride (1-5 miles depending on the day).

I eat dinner and then do yoga for 15 minutes before bed so I can relax.

During the summer I love to swim, hike, fish and tube.

Saturday is "pig-out-on-200-calorie junk food and sit on my ass" day.

I also just ordered the Jillian Michael's "30 day shred" dvd so I can really kick my ass, even though I may have to bump up my caloric intake to about 1800 haha.

Edit: Forgot to mention, don't drink soda or fruit juice or nasty shit like energy drinks. Tea and water are amazingly good for you.

I used to be a little bit on the heavier side (150 at 5'7") the best thing I've ever done is get in the habit of exercising and eating right. You feel better about yourself, you have more energy and you can strut your stuff!

One of my dorm mates in college used to be a boxer. We would exchange punches and fight alot. She taught me some moves, and I showed her stances for stronger punches. By the end of the year both our bodies were black and blue .

I only drink diet drinks and anything under 20 cals. I know fruit juices add unwanted calories to your diet.

Hahaha people who watch what they drink and eat like it's a fucking science make me laugh.

Get a life.

Who cares what the calories on your drink is? God damn, loosen up a bit.

Just keep a steady workout routine, but don't go fucking OCD.

Don't be fucking ignorant walter. There is a reason why nutritionists get paid so much fucking money to give you diet guidelines. It's also why chow time in military basic training you are only given water, and diet based food based on nutritional needs. Shit even the military buys that shit. Its proven diet/calorie counting and exercise is a science. No such thing as "exact".

If you don't want to share anything useful to the convo then shut the fuck up.

[walterbrunswick]

Sure thing. You keep living your life "by the calorie," while I stand aside and laugh.

So what if military does that? It's a hazing and break-in process. The military didn't accept Dragon Scale Armor as being "effective," so the top commanders aren't exactly the most open-minded people.

Look at Anex; he's in the AF and he goes through like 1.75ml of vodka & Red Bull a week.

Though the Marines I met in upstate NY ate at Subway, so I guess they're watching out ...

[mag36]

Well i agree with loka there. Threre is a science to everything its never exact science, and the military does have diet plans especially for boot camp and stuff. Now after that its more up to you to keep fit. But so far ive ben taking some tips from loka and people and i have already lost over 10 pounds.

Walter, just because I count calories doesn't make it that I don't have a life. I work out at least three hours a day, six days a week and limit what I eat. It breaks down to a science that keeps me healthier and awesomely flexible. I still have time to browse the web, play video games, go out with friends, cook/clean, and take care of my husband. I don't restrict myself from foods I like. If you don't drink soda for a long time and try taking a sip it will often taste like ass because of all the corn syrup in it.

Athletes and people who are serious about their health watch what they eat. Just because I count calories doesn't mean I can't indulge every now and then. It helps I'm not a depressed motherfucker who would stuff ho-ho's down her mouth to eat away the pain.

Counting calories is fine for some people, as long as they are getting the nutritions they need. It's vitamins and nutrients that you have to pay closer attention to, it's those that make you "healthy" not low calories.

Infact your body NEEDS calories, in the military specially during boot camp they give you food HEAVY in calories because your body needs then to convert into energy, scrubble if your working out that much you need MORE calories then the average person.

But yes, eating more calories then your body needs will lead to weight gain, it all depends how active you are. The more active you are the more you need calories or your body burns energy from other places which infact makes you less "healthy" and if you do nothing all day then your body needs less calories.

I just imagined a certain someone doing that... I just died laughing.
