Stevia is 1/4th of sugar substitute but has a slightly bitter aftertaste. Erythritol is 1:1 and closest you'll find that tastes like sugar. Also dark chocolate and almond flour. You can also use 90% Lindt. what OTG you got at home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part about low carb diet is it doesn't ask you to eat in moderation like other diets or drop your daily calorie below maintenance which eventually destroys your metabolism if you don't workout. As long as you don't eat carbs you can go ham with stuff like butter chicken, ghee fried scrambled egg, deep fried pork chops, make rice out of cauliflower and eat 2 plates full of mutton biryani made from that rice. If your daily MBR is 2000 Kc you can eat 2000 Kc per day and still lose weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Guys, what's a good pre workout and a good mid afternoon snack ? Don't want to gorge on biscuits and stuff, trying loose belly fat. Been going to gym and get hunger pangs like crazy when I'm doing cardio or post workout. I go to gym in the lunch time (12), and have lunch immediately after at 1. Have breakfast around 8/8:30. Get cravings while working out or mid afternoon around 4/4:30.

To say in simple terms, do 80% cardio and 20% weights to maintain muscle mass. Keep your diet high in protein, obviously. You can't have both without exercise.

GunnerY2J Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I did say last eleptical post, but I didn't think I would be able to better that last 50 minute reading.So increased another level and it's a 575 calorie first exercise.This time had to take 6-7 breaks of 12-15 seconds each to drink a sip of water and also when I felt like puking though.Sent from my ASUS_X01BDA using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 ^^ 575 calories on an elliptical in 50 mins What were your settings ? That's awesome, hope you've not stretched yourself to the point of injury ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome, hope you've not stretched yourself to the point of injury ! Level 11 manual setting (same resistance all the time) from the very start (switched to level 12 for 15-20 minutes maybe) And average comes to 50 cycles per minute. Maximum is level 15. No, apart from feeling like throwing up a few times while doing - no bodily fatigue, did some calf, knee and light upper body exercises exercises after it along with 100 bicycle crunches.

It take 45 minutes+ to complete 5 km. However, feels very good. I feel fresh and energetic the whole day. I just hope I am able to sustain this for long. Never done any sizable physical activity in my life. Watch out for heel pain and lower back pain, got myself some lousy pain by over exerting myself in the beginning. Eden I went back, I took it nice and slow. Mild walking, brisk walking and then jogging. For me it was important I worked out for 30 mins every weekday, not three died/distance covered !

I would say it never ever gets easier, keeps getting difficult everyday and first few days there's great motivation and fresh energy as well. What was exerting you in 5 KM's will exert you in 10 KM's or you ll cover 5 KM's in 20 minutes. and it ll still hurt and actually more.

GunnerY2J Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) One thing is that the evening I don't exercise I sleep early (11pm) and tired. Now I can't sleep early, body still feels active and it ends up waking up middle of the sleep mostly 2 or rarely 3 times to piss.

GunnerY2J Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Following this 30 day leg workout. Everyday he's going to upload a different leg workout, definitely worth adding to your routine. And it was really brutal. Legs have never felt so shaky right after, 29 days more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 So...I gave it (exercising) a try and almost felt like throwing up. Heart started running and throat dried up. Backside of the knee and thigh started paining and still is after 2 days. Day 1 - lasted around 7 minutes ish and couldn't do anymore. Day 2 - lasted around 15 minutes. Wanted to continue but too much knee/thigh pain. Day 3 - yet to do today. Thing is, normal to have such high pain? Even after resting for couple of hours, the pain is still there and actually got worse after resting or even sitting for an hour. Almost feels like cogs jammed and taking a toll to start moving. I had to stretch out a bit to avoid the pain. This was the routine I was doing: 12 arm circles 12 lateral steps 12 side bend 12 rise and plie 12 squat Jumping jacks - this is where I couldn't do it anymore on day 1. Day 2 skipped this. 40 running in place - started feeling heaviness 10 slow burpees Knee tuck crunches - couldn't do enough 16 Russian twist 10 bird dog Super mans - failed badly Basically after that body started to pain more and more. Drank some water and rested. Am going to try and see how it goes for a week/month. Kind of fun but seems super taxing on my body. Am slim and never had to exercise a day.

The more the thigh (front) pain the better, everybody has that no matter how long they have been exercising. Rest doesn't make the pain go away, be active the next day and it will feel better, doing exercise and resting the next day makes it worse. But knee pain is bad, takes a while to heel, stop immediately when knee pains. And do something else. Although front and side knee pain is a more major concern. I don't see anything stressful in what you are doing, throw up feeling should not come for slim people. just that while squatting remember that your knee should be in line with your heels (shouldn't go further forward) I have zero physique/gains - apart from seeing some shaping up and tightening of the calves. But I manage to do 50-100 of each of the most you mentioned - only lunges take away everything from your legs :p Only high level eleptical makes me want to throw up.

Heaven Angel Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks. My bad it is apparently calf area (not knee back). 12 minutes ago, GunnerY2J said: Rest doesn't make the pain go away, be active the next day and it will feel better, doing exercise and resting the next day makes it worse. I noticed this today. Staying active lowered the pain but while sitting for an hour or two, pain starts back when you move again. Good to know thigh pain is normal. I (half) fast alternate days. Most days breakfast + lunch or lunch + dinner. Though I eat lot of ice cream. Not much of junk food like pizza/burgers. 12 minutes ago, GunnerY2J said: Let's complete the 30 day challenge now.

I follow plenty of YouTube videos plus cycle daily and now casual football on weekends. Calf pain is also incredibly normal and helpful, every one feels and should feel that. at risk areas are knees, ankles and lower back. Nothing else unless you do weights.
