New Member, Need Some Help!

souless Posts: 1 Joined: 2004/05/30	2004/05/30, 06:42 PM Hi everyone I'm from Ontario, Canada. I'm a new member here and need some questions answered. I recently started excerising a couple of weeks ago. I have lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks doing cardio mostly running for an hour and a half everyday of the week. Didn't do any weight training and I really didn't have a set meal plan for each day. I will be starting a controlled plan tomorrow or next Monday depending how fast I get my answers. I will be doing the Losing Weight and Toning Body plan for the next 8-12 weeks, this will includ cardio, weight training and proper eating. Male 5'-7" 205 lbs (aprox. 25 lbs overweight, grrr, :laugh:) Workout everyday of the week Questions Should I eat 5 or 6 meals a day? Should I eat a protein or carbohydrate meal pre or post workout? At what interval should I eat each meal? Is working out 7 days a week over doing it? I know this is kinda long but thank you in advance to all of you who read this and answered it. Looking forward to some great info and tips.

There is a sticky regarding the cardio question on one of the boards (can't remember which one right now though).... t -------------- Tim I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self.
