Default Re: Health and Fitness Thread

i stole a bunch of ideas from some reading and put them together and came up with my own diet. and i put one girl on it. let's see if she follows thru. well. it's not really a diet diet. it's a bunch of foods that are ok in my book and that you can just put together in diff ways and eat. mix and matchhhhhhh. and in the end it would be common sense for someone who'd done slight reading on eating healthy so.. i dunno. whatever. it's stolen

i think from the many people ive talked to, ive realized that eating frequently is not a priority for them. so they really need to make eating a habit. that's half their diet right there. the other half is eating fulfilling things. not always stuff that tastes like cardboard but you know...good stuff.

in other news, i was reading paraphrased research and it said something to the effect of how if your normal diet is healthy and frequent but light meals etc your metabolism is probably normal - excellent. BUT every once in a while, like every 2 weeks you should kinad just eat a lot? or a heavier than normal meal? because it shocks your metabolism and makes it even faster because it's kinda like WTF is going on, i need to process this food pronto!

and obviously this is paraphrased research so im doubting that it's completely accurate. but it kinda sounds interesting. it actualy makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. 'early man' was fit..because of the type of food intake etc..all natural stuff but im sure there were days when food was scarce and others when it was plenty.

also this kinda illustrates that our bodies are really good at figuring out what's going on, especially when you set a pattern and then disturb it.

and this is also precisely why your workouts need to be changed every 2-3 weeks if youre doing the same thing everyday...or even every other day. ADAPTATION!
