How can we be sure Surf really is Surf? He said he'd leave, and so he did, and he is truly a man of his word. His ET account must have been hacked and is now in the hands of a Surf-poser. Or... maybe management is running the Surf account in an attempt to generate more content and page views? In any case, most of what the poser writes doesn't make sense anyway.
Give up all fried foods and sugary drinks. Also drinking a lot of water helps too. You'll probably drop 10 lbs quickly just by doing this. Good luck.
Yeah, good point. I have given up soda--and drink heavily watered down home brewed ice tea with no sugar. But my issue is, I want instant change and in this case that's impossible. I was very thin until about 24---and use to really be bugged by fat people--- now, I guess it's pay back time as I have become that which I mocked. It's wrong, I know, but that's my truth today.
You should be able to shed some pounds fairly quickly with a few changes, but long term sustained weight loss will require lifestyle changes (consistent diet and exercise). But, if you do see some fairly quickly results from cutting out fried foods and soda, then that should keep you motivated to continue. You are not going to get to a long term goal in the short run but seeing some short term results should help to keep you focused. To be honest, I gave up fast food years ago (McDonalds, BK etc) and I do not miss it one bit. That kind of stuff isn't real food and it's made to keep you coming back. Break the habit and the craving for junk food should subside considerably. At least that's how it was for me. It's really just about making better choices day to day. Little by little stuff adds up to put you in a position to shed some weight.
Instant change -- I disagree here (within reason.. keep reading). As long as you do not have any medical conditions preventing high intensity exercise, you can aim to drop, reliably, 8 lbs. per month. This could be more if starting with a good amount of extra weight (it's easier to burn fat when you have more of it). A balanced diet that includes at the core lean meats/veggies/fruits, a low to medium carb diet, along with confusion via high intensity exercise (and other kinds of exercise), also with proper supplementation, can get you to your goals in six months or less. The thing about sprints, though, is that they are painful. They hurt. But the results do come if you stick to a complete regimen that has a scientific basis for success. A typical American does not eat enough protein, and eats too many carbs. A good diet balances protein/fat/carbs and eliminates sugar bomb intake (one of my weaknesses). Many foods that you eat might seem healthy, but they likely are not. Food that rots is best. Anything processed or unnatural is not part of a clean diet and will hold you back from reaching your goals. Feed yourself the best quality fuel, and your body will respond. I'm happy to share my program with anyone who wants it. I basically was eating/drinking/taking protein shakes about 11x per day, working out very hard for short amounts of time (never more than one hour, usually 45 minutes or 15-20 minutes for a hardcore sprint routine), and dropped 8lbs.+ per month. See your doctor before engaging in high frequen.. I mean high-intensity exercise. Good trading and health to all.
Thanks man. Believe it or not, I only do fast food about 2x month. My vice is pizza and bread, pasta ---- I need to lose at. Minimum 20 to get sub 200 then another 20 to 180 for ideal 180 at 6 ft. surf
Thanks man. Getting into the exercise routine is brutal for me. I walk a lot but anything resembling jogging kills me ( my 80 yr old father still bikes and runs long distance) so I know the athlete mentality having grown up around it---I'm healthy other than very overweight.
The guy I use to work with in the hedge fund business and who taught me the ropes made a $100k weight loss bet--- and won. Talk about motivation! http://familyofficesgroup.com/2012/05/neil-berger-interview.html
Hmm... never thought about it. And his driving story reminds me of Russia... must be hacked by some Russian.
