lose baby fat
i had a baby in 2005, through out the preganancy i have gain about 50 pounds, from 125, now i weigh 137 but would like to lose about 10 pounds what is the best thing to do since i would like to lose this before the summer comes...
Hey Barn babe, I wanted to tell you I whole heartedly agree with you that carbs (fibre) is unnecessary in our diet. I have read numerous studies and books about this topic. Not only do carbs make us fat but they also cause many digestive diseases such as IBS, IBD, Colitis etc. Which is what I have so I did very low carb for about a year. My doctor told me she had never met anyone with such good cholesterol and health..my insomnia vanished and my skin was as smooth as a babies bum. BUT even after a year my digestive system never got used to this and I had to start eating oats again..I know they say it takes awhile for our bodies to get back to their natural state ie. running without carbs but what is your take on this? Also, I did gain weight eating this way..I have always been a low calorie eater until my year of low carb so I still think calories plays a big part in weight loss.
Its sad how the medical community has brainwashed everyone to believe what they say healthy eating is..and I'm part of that medical community.
About milk..its ****. Pure ****. Look up the weston price foundation for the story on dairy.

bicycling being less demanding than running.
Your right about that. There's no way I could have jogged across america.Not in 75 days anyways.And I had 48 pounds of gear.
Heck. I didn't even train for it. Just got sick of my job,did a little yard work for my training and took off.I did a lot of walking up those hills in the beginning. But after 3 weeks there was no hill i could not ride up.I lost 30 pounds in 75 days.I could have lost more but i was eating pretty much whatever I felt like.LOts of good scenery and it was a great trip.
"don't even bother carrying your own gear...Now that's and easy way to do it"
It's just not the same to say u rode your bike across America unless you carry your own gear and without a shag wagon.That's what I think anyways.

"FYI. The cholesterol lowering effects of oatmeal have been proven."
Gosh, thanks for sharing! I guess this means you buy into the cholesterol hypothesis. Unfortunately for you, there is ample evidence that cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease. You can throw that theory on the garbage heap along the theory that a "low fat, high fiber" diet is "healthy." Sheesh.
I can see you are extremely acculturated and stuck in your belief systems about nutrition, cholesterol, and fiber. Whatever. Enjoy your carbs.

Oh LOL thyroid. What a joke. "No fat vegetarians." You should have seen the cyclists we met on our trip last summer. One guy had a paunch the size of New Jersey. How he managed to make it 1,000 miles in was anybody's guess. And he was putting US down for eating a roasted chicken with the skin (rubbed with softened cream cheese-yum).
I agree about the refined carb shite. There's far too much of that going on in our culture. But here's the problem with advising folks to eat "natural" carbs. Carbs are carbs. In other words, it all turns to sugar in your body. For some people, the mitigating effects of "fiber" in the "natural" carbs aren't helpful in down-regulating insulin control. Want it in English? Their blood sugar still goes whack. That means, with fluctuating blood sugar levels, that they can't control their appetite. That means - you got it - weight gain.
Our bodies don't differentiate between "good" carbs and "bad" carbs. That's the whole problem. A sugar is a sugar once it hits your mouth and begins its way down the digestive tract. It has the same physiologic effects, and for many people, insulin still can't be regulated. And insulin regulation is at the core of appetite control. That's basic physiology. So telling people to only eat "natural" carbs is a recipe for as big a disaster as if they ate refined carbs.
My body has been fat-adapted for years. That's what happens when you cut out carbs completely. You start running exclusively on your body fat. I'm at the leanest level I've ever been, and I'm over 40. I also have energy up the wazoo. I'm hoping to BQ in my next marathon on September.
Your recommending grains is the biggest joke I've read so far today. Grains ARE refined carbs. What is "natural" about a grain? Grains have only been around since the start of the agricultural revolution, about 10,000 years. We've been eating meat, nuts, and berries since we fell out of the trees and got up on our hindlegs. There is nothing inherently healthy about "grains." In fact, I consider them some of the worst junk food. You may as well eat a Twinkie as a piece of "whole grain bread" or a bowl of rice. That's an insulin spike waiting to happen. It's all the same - refined and causing insulin deregulation.
The Chinese populations you are speaking about get (I should say "got") much more exercise than we ever did. For the most part they didn't have automobiles and rode bicycles everywhere, or walked. They burn many more calories than Americans do. That, of course, is changing as China has become a capitalist economy, more Chinese are buying cars and living in the cities and not riding bicycles as much. I wouldn't hold the Chinese up by any stretch as a population of healthy people. They use very dangerous oils to cook their foods, like soybean and other plant oils, and they use lots of it. And studies going as far back as 1994 have noted the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the Chinese.
Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for breakfast - 4 soft-boiled eggs and a leftover lamb chop.

So, did u go east or west? I went east and heard nothing but stories about how tough Virginia was.Stories of people giving up because they couldn't get past the hills so they went home. Riders advising to get rid of some weight before Va.To Quote one rider"The hills will humble you." Rolling hills for 200 miles. "Va is the Toughest state"
Well I got to Va. and kept thinking where are all these hills?It was a joke.I have to admit there were some steep hills. That hill before the Blue Ridge Pkwy was a killer. But other than that it didn't deserve all that talk.As far as being the toughest state.A few states in the west are close.The whole west half was nothing but Mtn pass after Mtn pass untill I got to Pueblo Co.Then I flew through Kansas. Kansas was fun.How about them dogs in Mo and Ky?Little bastards.

West to east.
We never went through Virginia. We went from San Francisco to Pueblo, Colorado, through the midwest and north in Kentucky through Ohio and then up to New York and ended in Albany, New York. I'm from San Francisco, and there is nothing that compares to the scenery and difficulty of the western passes. Nothing. The east coast just can't compare. I've ridden all over the west in shorter trips, VAncouver to L.A. (highway one is pretty killer for hills), Monitor Pass and Sonora Pass in the Sierra, Yellowstone/Teton, around the Cascades - it's all fantastic, just beautiful country and tough tough climbs. East Coast is child's play by comparison.
As I said before, I was astonished at the number of fat people I saw doing this cross-U.S. tour. To be fair, some of them that we met were doing short legs of it, or they had a truck with them carrying their gear (now there's an easy way to go, don't even bother carrying your own gear). But I think long biking in general is not as difficult or taxing on the system as, say, marathon running, or even doing split events, like swimming and triathlons. What I don't appreciate is being told that my diet sucks by a fat guy, 40 pounds overweight, stuffing his face with pasta while he's saying it. Yeah, that pasta is going to do you a lot of good after you've burned off all the sugar from it and your blood sugar takes a nosedive. Good luck "going up the hills" on that kind of energy. (And, yeah, the next morning my friend and I broke camp and rode together with the fat guy and his girlfriend, and we left them in the dust, it was in Colorado. No surprise there.)
Most people are loathe to do zero carb for the simple reason that they've been "programmed" by cultural "rules" and believe what they've been told about energy coming from "carbs." It's really too bad, because this whole obesity/diabetes epidemic thing could have been controlled or eliminated if they had found for low-carb diets instead of low-fat diets 30 years ago. The whole low-fat diet dogma has been one gigantic experiment gone awry on the Amerikan people, and we are suffering for it. And there's no evidence that it prevents heart disease. It certainly doesn't prevent diabetes or obesity, as we've seen.
I was an Atkins follower for 15 years before I went to zero. So it was a natural move for me. Somebody like you, who thinks grains are healthy, would have a bit of a withdrawal syndrome in the first week or so going just to low carb. Your diet is probably a blood sugar nightmare, loaded with "good" carbs.
Hell, I can't even imagine going back to LOW carb now that I've been zero for 4 years. As I said, it's only been beneficial to me with my sports.

I never met a fat vegeterian. I know there are some out there but not very many.
They're usually too skinny. I remember reading an article about a professional bodybuilder who got into the "best shape of his life" after being on a vegeterian diet for a year. He stayed lean all year round and it was easier to get into contest shape he said. He ate a lot of beans for protein. I'm not saying vegeterian is the way to go though.I'm not one.

I think it's all the REFINED carbs that has caused the obesity epidemic. Everyone is eating more sugar and less fat with all these low fat deserts. People think they can eat cake because it says low fat on the label. I don't think there would be an obesity problem if people ate grains,fruits ,vegs, meat and even some fat.They eat a lot of rice in Asia and there is no obesity problem over there. If people just ate real food close to it's natural state they would be fine instead of all this processed garbage.
Your one hardcore person if u didn't have any carbs while riding across the country. I think u would be in better shape with some grains or something every once in a while.
FYI. The cholesterol lowering effects of oatmeal have been proven.

"Enjoy your heart attach then"
My heart...."attach?" LOL. Jesus, a monkey could do a better job of spelling than you.
I'm not interested in reading your links. You wasted your time posting them. I've read everything I need to know. A high-fat diet no-carb diet is quite healthy.
You take care now. Don't forget to fix both your spell checker and your grammar checker. Your skills in both are non-existent.

Well here are some proof of why people might want to eat fiber or fiberous foods. So here is your scientific proof, but yes you don't HAVE to eat it to live, but you won't live long with out it. My GOD bless you through your older years!!

"how can u get all the fiber and nutrients your body needs with zero carbs?"
Our bodies don't need fiber. There's no scientific evidence that fiber is necessary. You must be one of those folks who has jumped on the "regularity' bandwagon. Keeping the bowels moving and all that. It's bunk. Literally.
"Fruits and vegetables are carbs."
No sh*t, Sherlock. Right, I don't eat fruits and veggies. Haven't for quite a while. Also not necessary for anything except to feed your acculturation. If you are "accustomed" to eating fruits and veggies, if you have been "told" that we "need" fruits and veggies, then you will follow that dogma. But it's not necessary.
"I too rode my bicycle across the country last summer.The trans america bike route.4400 miles. Congrats to u on your ride."
There were plenty of places along the way to pick up a steak, eggs, burgers, or even some fish. I survived the ride quite nicely. As did my zero-carb companion. Found some great ribeyes in some parts, I must say. Really good stuff.
I eat what I said I eat: no carbs. I eat beef, fish, shellfish, chicken, a little pork, like bacon once in a while, eggs and some cheese. I eat calf livers about once a month. High-fat cuts of beef are the best, of course, like ribeye. The fattier the better. My diet is about 75% fat, 25% protein. I don't drink milk, since it has carbs in it (now that is some unhealthy shite). Cheese has small amounts of carbs, but I use small amounts, like bleu cheese, on my steaks. It's delicious - you should try it. I eat my steaks rare or raw. This is how I get my intake of ascorbic acid (hey, you could look that up!), so there is no need for vitamin C in "fruits and veggies." I might use a little chopped garlic on a steak or seafood, and of course I use spices in small amounts. But carby stuff like fruits and veggies? Please.
I have no use for fruits, veggies, grains, beans, milk, or any carby foods. Our intake of carbs is what has caused the obesity epidemic and accompanying epidemic of type 2 diabetes. I'll steer clear of carbs, thanks very much.
My last marathon time was 4:03, and I'm currently getting ready for the Alcatraz Triathlon this summer.
But you go right ahead and eat those carbs! That means more for you! You are welcome to them. The damage done to the intestines by long-term fiber ingestion, the damage done to our insulin regulation by carbs - no thanks - you guys can have 'em. I'll take a T-bone steak any day over that ****.

Thanks thyroid man!!!! GOOD point!!!
how the hell can u b zero carb for several years?Your telling me u eat nothing but meat? You're telling me u don't use milk in your protein shakes? Milk has carbs in it.U don't add fruit or something to your protein shake?Just water and protein powder? Just meat and water? For years? Yeah right!!!!!!
how can u get all the fiber and nutrients your body needs with zero carbs?Fruits and vegetables are carbs.I too rode my bicycle across the country last summer.The trans america bike route.4400 miles. Congrats to u on your ride.
Speak for yourself, thyroid man. I've been zero carb for several years with no ill effects. I run marathons, do triathlons, and last year rode my bike across the country. I'm in the best shape of my life.
If somebody is prone to overweight, especially abdominal fat, they need to cut down on the carbs. Zero carb really isn't necessary (I did it just to see what it was like after being an Atkins follower for 15 years). Insulin is a very powerful hormone that affects all of our physiologic systems, including our cardiovascular system.
You don't speak for me when you say low/no carb will not "last" or you "can't stick to it." To discourage people from even trying low-carb is really not good advice. How do you know what will work or not work for somebody?
Some of us can, and do, stick to zero carb.

Find out what your BMR is then your TDEE (google) and that will tell you how many calories in a day to eat to maintain your current weight then decrease by ~ 500 -750 a day. Eat good clean food, cut out complex carbs (potatos, rice) out @ ~ 4pm and add in fiberous carbs ( broccoli, salad). Cut out fruit @ ~12 NOON. And start working out. Also eat a clean source of protein ~ 3-4 hours to prevent muscle breakdown. Good luck
exercise and eat unrefined food. The low carb thing will not last long. U need carbs. U can eat carbs and still lose weight. Just eat less calories that comes from quality food.Forget fad diets and just eat right for life.
Eat less, move more. ;D That's it.
Zero carbs and high-intensity weight training. Google HIIT.
