Further to my post "Toning Legs"

Well it looks like I'm going to have to research into dieting. I definitely couldn't eat 4 egg whites for breakfast. Usually, if I'm hungry during the day, as a snack, I will have Riveta or crackerbread with some extra low fat cheese spread on it. And as for breakfast, if I'm not hungry, I won't eat it and first thing when I get up, I'm just not hungry. Then I have to get on a train to work, so I just don't feel like eating until about 10am.

Well then, I guess you really don't WANT any advice do you? Why ask if you have already decided what you "will do and won't do"?

With what you are presently eating and how you are presently training you will NOT GET RESULTS. I promise. Your diet and training suck. Your "I will not change" attitude sucks.

Sorry if this is bitchy, but it is very frustrating wasting time helping someone reach their goals and then they flat out spit in the face of your advice.

This is precisely WHY I stopped personal training. People SAY they want change, but sweetie, talk is cheap. AThree things will get you to your goals: 1) ACTION, 2) SACRIFICE, and 3) DETERMINATION. You have to make changes to get results. You are presently unwilling to make those changes - or even have an open mind to change.

Here is my last bit of advice..... do some research.

Even if it is a shirt, you have no idea how many times I've tried to look UNDER that shirt in that damn pic.....

Anyway, back to the issue at hand... When people come on here looking for advice, the first thing we are going to look at is diet, because at the end of the day, you ARE what you eat. The consequence of this discussion is that we are looking at diet as the fuel you put into your body, when you put it in and how you consume it. To compare, you fill your tank w/ gasoline that is designed to be consumed. No one uses leaded fuel anymore and the engines of today's cars are not designed to use it. You will hear a lot of pinging if you do. (Not that you can find it in the US anymore, but I bet if you made a roadtrip from say Phoenix to the Sea of Cortez, across Mexico, you'd probably get some leaded gas put into your car at a station that was marked "unleaded" -- silly gringo...). You also only fill up the tank when it is empty / near empty, right?

If this isn't how you eat right now, your body has adapted to how you eat and to make a significant change in how you eat requires a certain amount of "retraining". Also from an intellectual standpoint, we are suggesting a change in diet that must sound like a significant change in the amount you eat as well as when you eat it. It often takes a degree of change in practice on your part --- for ex. you can't imagine eating 4 egg whites for breakfast. Can I tell you how long it took me to even be able to stomach 1/2 c of oatmeal? I used to skip breakfast because it hurt more to eat breakfast & walk to school & sit in 4 hrs of lecture than to not eat. But if you spend some time looking at a diet like the one Daisy listed and then consider how what that diet is putting into your system, when and how much, you will realize it is basically just providing the fuel that the biochemical system that is your body to consume it. It takes a little to get beyond what you currently consider your "diet" and take a look at what we are suggesting here. There is nothing that says you can't stick to what you are doing now, but if you are looking for a significant change in your results, you need to look at at least some tweaking of what you are doing now. Consistency and discipline in what you eat, when you eat and how you train will get you the results.

You have a really bad attitude. Yes you do sound bitchy. I've asked for your advice and have given you reasons for why I don't eat a certain way. I haven't said that I won't do anything. You are far too stuck up your own arse!!! Lose the attitude! How the hell do you find time to eat a chicken breast in your car? Do you spend all your time cooking? I have a job to do and I don't think they'd appreciate me having lunch breaks every 3 hours. That's a fact!!!

No offense - but you ask the same questions over and over again in different threads and on different boards and you don't seem to be taking or acknowledging anything anyone has said to you.

You don't need a lunch break to woof down some chicken at your desk.
If you are in the situation that you can't eat or drink while your are working that's a problem.


LOL


Most of us pre cook all our meals and live our of baggies and tupperware.
The alternative is eating crappy food or starving.

If you know me, you know I don't have a bad attitude. As for having my head us my ass, that is comical. I just find it annoying that people ask for advice but are then unwilling to change their life. It is like people want results WITHOUT effort and change. It doesn't work this way.

I could treat you like a child instead - I could coddle you and say "sure, keep doing what you want, don't worry about it honey, results will come eventually". But if you truely want a change in your body, you better find a way to change what you are currently doing.

Because really, if what you are really doing now was working - you wouldn't be asking for advice would you??

Eating in the car:
1) cook chicken breast.
2) cut said chicken breast into bite sized pieces.
3) put bite sized pieces into container or baggie.
4) go to car.
5) start car.
6) drive.
7) put said container on lap and eat pieces while driving.
8) it's easy.

I spend a couple hours one day a week (Sunday) cooking food for the entire week - usually just the meat. I have all my weekly meals planned out in advance. Everyday I spend about 30 min TOTAL making food. This is about 10 min breakfast, 10 min lunch, 10 min dinner.

Yes, it takes time, but it is well worth it. WOUld it be quicker to eat some processed food? Sure - but what would that give me besides more fat?

As for taking "lunch breaks' every 3 hours, nobody does that. I eat every 3 hours EVEN WHILE AT WORK. I am a teacher - so I can't leave the classroom. I count on protein shakes to get me through the times I can't make something. My kids (30 of them) find a way to keep learning, even while the teacher is drinking a protein shake. I have even eaten a chicken breast while teaching. No big deal. I still do my job, no interruptions.

There is NO reason you can't eat WHILE working. You have to figure out a way. There is always a way.

Daisy's right. Just take a step back and really try and absorb the advice already given. Unfortunately there's no real quick way to get results. (DAMN)

Besides, I'm the one with the bad attitude.
Darn, tootin!
