Think to yourself: "I'm not eating this food for the taste, I'm eating it for the nutrients." This has helped me out tremendously. This is how Jay Cutler get through his pre-contest diet.

I havent spent much time checking it, but found it sorta hard to figure out so gave up on it...plus seen here were people comment that it gives them too many per day calories to intake. I know I need a better program for my weight lifting but havent got that portion developed.

I'm trying to bulk up for my next contest, but I don't want to get fat!! Anyway, I came up with my own nutrition program, and I've had great results from it. You can instant message me and tell me what your goals are and I could help you out with setting up a diet.

It's nothing to do with taste, it just has to get down since you know it's good for you........

workingoutgirl Posts: 289 Joined: 2001/11/15	2002/12/13, 06:53 AM Ok - how do I come up with the calculations to LOOSE weight for now being 118-119, desire to loose 10 pounds (5'3") and lifting 3-4 times a week. Mostly have been at 3 since I've been busy with the holiday stuff but going back to 4 soon! Also adding cardio which I wasn't doing....for 30-40 minutes a shot.

And when you feel lazy and don't want to weight train or do your cardio, then bring back the picture in your head and there you go; sweating on the stairmaster!!! (with a BIG smile!!

And every time you eat right, you are one step closer to your goal. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back!

I try to look at it as required fuel that you have to have to perform. Why not find the most nutritional and high quality?
