Dear Visitors,
Please take the time to write down a comment. Three or four words would be enough - like: "I like it", "I don't like it".
Anyone can take this blog as my personal speaking stand, but I can't even know that if some reader does not say so.
Well, even if I write down and explain every calorie I eat, the color of the meal, the taste, every drop of oil, spice, the period it took to made it, the price of the mix, the tear and sweat I put into preparing it or I just stole it from my wife which by the way is far from obesity but loves to prepare different shakes and recipes, would probably make it a dull blog.
So as it is, it continues, my points of view are these......
And If you have a thought , please slide it through as a comment.
Thanks !!!
In the previous post, in red letters I wrote something including "Fat Burning".
I just want to point out that burning fat happens when the body lacks food, therefore
it's interesting to say that engaging your stored fat to burn is either you workout and exhaust your muscles so they need food and start shipping the warehoused fat or the same happens if you do not eat enough to satisfy the body needs and again the body reaches into the warehouse.
Oh my, oh my......
I'm totally confused when searching the net for a quality advice on how to loose weight and stay that way. It seems that what you find today as "top" advice or recommendation or even a diet program, after a while is the thing you need to worry about i.e. that it can damage your health because of that, that, and so on.....
My usual route after I check my Yahoo mail account is reading a few of those Today articles on Yahoo. At the same place I run into at least two subjects that were highlighting the downsides that a particular program or diet generates.....
You are just lost with this stuff.... one was bad because it had low carbohydrates so it will make you dizzy , the other one generated lack of concentration, lack of protein, vitamins, minerals... and all the cool stuff the body needs to have in order to work properly.
But I like to remind all of you:
WHEN YOU SUBMIT YOURSELF TO A DIET OR A REGIME IN NUTRITION, YOU ARE MOST LIKELY AWARE THAT YOU WILL RESTRAIN YOURSELF FROM A LOT OF STUFF JUST TO GET THE RESULTS YOU WANT. I MEAN YOU HAVE TO DO IT, IF YOU WANT YOUR FAT TO START BURNING I.E. BECOMING THE FOOD OF YOUR BODY INSTEAD OF A BACK UP FOR RAINY DAYS.
My final point is to experiment and to keep track of what works best for you, so I'm not suggesting anyone to drive yourself into a shock or illness, merely pointing to respect the body and make sure you feel healthy. If you feel fishy, make a blood test, blood pressure test... or something else that comforts you.
So The basic principle is that you have to give up from something.
DecIDE For yOURseLF.
Hi Guys,
It seems that I was right about the difference between "The All or Nothing guys" or "Always ready for Compromises guys". Yes, you can see that I flunked my try to loose weight in the way
I planned to - "The All or Nothing" routine by not eating. But as I said in the mentioned post the other guys have far more chance to succeed then me, because they are slow but sure.
I can tell the story that I had to abandon the project(diet) 'cause of health issues i.e. had to take some medications which require a meal before consuming them but...... that's a story all of the readers would say to - "Yeah, you've got yourself a pity excuse" ......
Well for the "Believers", It was a revelation experience with this professor who examined me with echo tomography due to some blood tests of mine that were confusing me. Nevertheless the point is that my liver was slightly "fattened"(I have no idea what term to use- hope this explains it) so I got a prescription for -"ursofalk" and "lescol" to sort the problem out. The wisdom the professor provided to me follows:
"I see you are an intelectual , therefore you have to practice some fine manners while eating, yo have to eat in smaller amounts and slowly, eating fast is a little "barbaric" and not refined at all. While practicing so you'll see the difference in your eating habits. And the best recipe to restrict what you will and won't eat is trying to avoid the "three white powders" (don't take the word for granted since only one is a powder, others are crystal shape - but for the sake of God we won't get into that :-) ), which refers to
This my friend means to literally avoid eating as much as possible of these stuff, and never add them to a dish."
Wow, it really makes sense. I'm gonna follow the advice, huh I already am following it for several weeks.
I admit I ate very salted meals and always adding more salt to almost anything because it was making the flavor for me even when the meal was disgusting. I can recall a guy who was into that "Diet by blood types" once told me that for me being O-negative blood type it's obvious that I have a natural deficit of Iodine in my system and therefore I was supplementing it through eating salt (which is purposely bonded with salt due to a proper function of the thyroid gland) but hey..... who you gonna believe? Everyone is a guru today...... Don't mistake me for one! Haha.... I'm simply trying to do something the way I think It'll work for me, and hopefully for others......
Not to forget, I started training Aikido 2 months ago because I finally had to improve my mobility and have to thank my wife for persuading me to go practice with her.....
No photos today, but I'll post from tomorrow on.....
P.S.: I'M BACK ON THE PROJECT !

What happens when you cheat during your diet?
Do you desperately wanna have a break from your diet? Are you thinking you deserve some free days?
For me, it's crucial to cheat with low calorie snacks, and NOT cheat with meals !
If you can't keep your hands off food , then I would suggest that you have a snack like a pack of flips, some watermelon, potato chips but very small quantity, a yogurt or a cracker. Now it's important, whatever snack you choose, to determine ahead the quantity that you gonna have. Why? Because if you don't, you'll end up eating a whole bag of stuff and that's not dieting by my definition !
If you start to cheat with a whole meal, then you are off course for sure.
But I'll tell you a secret for you to know when you are cheating and disrupting your diet: It's when you start persuading yourself that this little thing you're gonna eat is nothing, that little thing has so few calories and it won't hurt, sweet juices or beverages are just drinks and not food so they don't count ............. I can continue numbering a lot of cases. You might guess how I know this, yes, I use to do it too, and got stuck with no results on me.
Therefore you must still obey the one and only principle that my so called "Diet Theory" rests upon : " YOU HAVE TO EAT VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF FOOD IN ORDER TO ADAPT YOUR ORGANISM TO START BURNING FAT SO IT CAN FEED IT SELF WITH THE NECESSARY AMOUNTS OF CALORIE".
So by cheating you are only delaying the process or even adding a plus amount then you need, and eventually you are gonna get stuck with the way you are or slowly, very slowly still gain weight.

Image via WikipediaI feel I need some exercise and some lotion for skin marks for pregnant women !
Don't get confused by the pic, I haven't changed my sex, HAHA.
Yeah you've got that right. Now I'm starting to feel that I've lost some weight and I feel more flexible but this is the point not to think that you've done it all, on the contrary this is just the tip of the ice berg, you need to maintain your course and have focus on the stuff you are doing and the result you are awaiting. You can see why the skin needs elasticity by viewing the photo.
But I must point out that due to big expansion in body mass and vice versa, those skin marks I've shown on some photos when starting this experiment, are a bit fragile stuff and can continue to expand even when loosing weight. The white skin marks are harder to spot, but the red ones you can't hide except with plastic surgery. Therefore to get the skin in shape I suggest I should have some workout even several minutes a day but also I'm going to apply skin mark lotion for pregnant women.
Yes, you can laugh all you can but this is the thing for preventing skin marks. I've read a bunch of stuf on the net about different lotions and the miracles they gonna do for you and make your skin marks disappear, but the bear fact is that non of them can do that, you can just use them to prevent future skin marks. But let's face it, men do not pay so much attention to this compared to women, so the best thing is to go out and buy yourself a good lotion for preventing skin marks on pregnant women.
End of story, and that is what you should do if skin marks bother you.

Now, It was never my intention to criticize other blogs or webs, since I think that the road to success of a blog is to make friends and not enemies.
But I cannot stand to see some photos that are making me feel dumb on purpose!!! That's why I'm freaking out and not letting someone to play with my perception and perform tricks with before and after images and that only work out made that in just 2 weeks or a month. Bull S*it ! Let me analyze only one website.
Don't get me wrong I've got nothing against working out or the guys that own the site, I'm not even saying that their model for loosing weight doesn't work, just not agreeing with the photos, the light tricks, the different body positions when showing Before&After, and tanning the body to present same figure but with a delusion that it seems thinner and with more stamina.
The site I'm reffering to is "The Fat X Program". Now check out the guy's photos at myspace.com at this url: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=478065429&albumId=23440 ,(please copy and paste this link into your browser), without logging in. I'm reffering to those four photos which I'm not going to publish here, not to get in any owner rights argument or something like that, so you'll have to check them out manually.
Photo #01: In this animated GIF photo there are two pics of a guy before&after. The differance in the two photos is in the before one the guy is pale - litteraly, with loosen body and stomach pumped up on purpose like a baloon which hidesany muscle body lines.The chin is higher up so it gives the body a longer looking figure. You cannot see the hands in both pics so I'm assuming his hands(palms) are loosen too.
The After photo is another storry, the guy tanned a lot since the before pic- giving the picture a greater contrast in the muscle transition area and a perception that a greater muscle definition is achieved (I'll admit that maybe there is some diferance with the before&after but not the way it's shown), then there's the position of the muscle pumped body - you've tried it for sure in front of the mirror, you contract all the muscles in you body and it makes you look diffrent, the chin is lowered so it gives more stamina to the hole figure, and I can bet that those hands are squeezing knuckles so those veins on the inside of the elbows can be shown better.
White shorts vs. Black shorts is an obvious trick for me!
Photo #02: In this photo one thing is obvious and that's enough. Before body position is OK, but After body position is making the scam, the woman has surely inhaled a lot and leaning forward with her head(which you can spot from a mile away) is eliminating the upper love handles, and offcourse the white vs. black top that you can honestly say that the white one is a size or two smaller to help bring up the upper love handles, and the black is loosen. And the bihind isn't changed at all.
Photo #03 : The black vs. white top again, although the owner of the page says that he told the person not to wear black. I'm not sure whether this should be the same person from the photo #02, but I will say that here we've got a fat differance (scouts honner), but the back ground is tricky so you can't be sure if Photoshop was not in the game, and last the thing is you can't be sure it's tha same person since the head is blurred for intentional or privacy reasons.
Photo #04: Just an animated GIF photo, from which you cannot see much !.
ANYONE PLEASE DEBATE!!!
