FAQ
Anonymous File :-(, x)
By way of the illustrious ZC, an internet hero who is missing in action, I present to you his /fit/ FAQ.
1. I want to lose weight. I want to be thinner. I want to lose these love handles. I want to burn off extra fat. I want to tone up. What/how much should I eat in order to lose weight?
ANSWER: Do you want to lose WEIGHT? or do you want to lose FAT? In order to lose fat:
You must count your calories, and consume foods that your body needs. Your body does not need a * avalanche of carbs smashing through your cakehole at all hours of the day. Cut down on sweets, oils, and unnecessary white starches. Huge helpings of pasta, rice, and white-bread sandwiches are out.
Eat whole wheat bread and pasta, oatmeal, fresh fruits and vegetables, lowfat/fat free dairies, and lean meats such as chicken/turkey breast, fish, etc. One classic staple is the garden vegetable/chicken breast salad. Satisfying, healthy (garden greens are extremely nutritious), and cheap.
You should aim to eat five or six smaller meals a day. This keeps the body in a state of constant metabolism. It takes energy to digest food. Eating three big squares a day lets your body settle into a routine, digesting one big lump and then remaining dormant for hours until the next meal.
Also? Never eat or drink anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup again. Ever again. Every time you drink a soda (HFCS), you create an insulin spike in the body. Long story short, this leads to the creation and retention of BODY FAT. So yeah, quit * doing that.
