NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Ok thought you like the title, now that I have your attention, the real topic of this thread. Probably most of us will admit to being slightly over weight and if not now then as you get older it will come, it's a fact of life & lifestyle. STEP I The BMI (Body Mass Index) chart added: 14 lb = 1 stone (for our US friends) As you can workout, you will fall somewhere in the height v weight scale of this chart. I'm in the overweight section this year and what to get back to my normal weight for my height. This thread are some of the things that can push you into overweight and some of the alternatives that can keep you out of it too. The key to loosing weight is to do it as part of your normal routine and not have to think about it all the time. To do this you need to learn about what are the better alternatives to normal foods for a less active personal lifestyle. Feel free to add your tips and include pictures via photobucket too (a picture speaks a thousand words). Easy And Effortless Weight Loss Habits The Golden rule: burn more calories than you consume. Everyone eats everyday, it?s just a matter of how much calories we put into our bodys. Below are some super easy ways that you and I can follow to reduce calorie intake. Boil the eggs instead of frying. Add 5 drops of soy sauce, 2 shakes of pepper and stir the egg contents in a small bowl. It tastes yummylicious. 235 kcal = 2 fried eggs 170 kcal = 2 boiled eggs Drink soy milk instead of fresh whole milk. Fat free/skim milk will also do but it?s pricier than soy milk. 150 kcal = 1 cup of fresh whole milk 85 kcal = 1 cup of fat free milk 90 kcal = 1 cup of soy milk Switch to Kellogg?s Bran Flakes instead of Cheerios 110 kcal = 3/4 cups of Cheerios 90 kcal = 3/4 cups Kellogg?s bran flakes These 3 are commonly available high fiber food. The fiber will make you feel full, which in turn stops your appetite. Drink 2 glasses of water. 226 kcal = 1 bar (15 o.z.) of Chocolate 60 kcal ~ apple, banana, orange Drink light beer instead of regular beer. Some examples of light beer * Amstel Light * Blatz Light * Bud Light * Busch Light * Carlsberg Light * Coors Light * Heidelberg Light * Keystone Light * Michelob Light * Miller Lite * Milwaukee?s Best Light * Molson Light * Old Milwaukee Light * Old Style Light * Olympia Gold Light * Pabst Light 145 kcal = 12 fl oz of regular beer 105 kcal = 12 fl oz of light beer () 440ml can (average uk = 15 fl oz) ( 180 cal) like Stella artois .. Stella = 40 cal per 100ml Eat only lean steaks about the size of a man?s wallet instead of the normal 8 o.z. Share the rest. beef 610 kcal = 8 oz of lean & fat sirloin steak 170 kcal = 3 oz of lean sirloin steak Steak with onions Onions have no fat Start eating fat free plain yogurt instead of low fat fruit flavored ones. 230 kcal = 1 cup of low fat, fruit flavoured yogurt 110 kcal = 1 cup of 0% fat, plain yogurt With mango & Raspberries (0% fat) Cola diet was invented for you. When the craving for of vanilla fudge ice cream rises, satisfy it with the similar taste of regular vanilla ice cream instead. 290 kcal = 1/2 cup of vanilla fudge ice cream 132 kcal = 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream Home cooked food is always best. Eat oven baked potato chips instead of normal potato chips. 1210 kcal = 6 oz of regular chips 147 kcal = 6 oz of oven baked chips. When eating burgers, eat it with onion rings instead of fries. 360 kcal = large fries 175 kcal = 8 onion rings Buy cheese pizza instead of meat & vegetable pizza. 1,215 kcal = 12″ meat & vegetable pizza 875 kcal = 12″ cheese pizza Instead of tomato ketchup, dip your chips into barbecue sauce. 40 kcal = 2 tbsp tomato ketchup 15 kcal = 2 tbsp barbecue sauce Rather than drink a strawberry milkshake, make a smoothie of 2/3 cup of low-fat milk, 1/2 cup of strawberries and 1/2 a banana. 319 kcal = strawberry milkshake 150 kcal = strawberry smoothie Eat a turkey sandwich instead of a chicken sandwich. 440 kcal = chicken breast sandwich 215 kcal = turkey breast deli sandwich Choose tuna packed in water instead of tuna packed in oil. 158 kcal = 3 oz tuna canned in oil 98 kcal = 3 oz tuna canned in water Squirrels low in fat, high in fiber & protein.

usthomsen~SPARTA~ Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 One major issue is muscle mass that is never taken into account when calculating these things. I am overweight and yet i have a lower fat % than the average slim person. Eat what u like all the time u only live ones!!!! ;) Ohh yearh just remember to exercise everyday then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoBoL~SPARTA~ Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 This charts way off the mark, It say's I am overweight. I eat two fryed breakfast's a day without fail, I have a huge burger for lunch. Fish & Chips for tea and snack in between every meal. Never do anything active. Oh and drink lots of beer. So as you can see from my life style, the chart is incorrect. There is no reason for me to be over weight, the chart is wrong I am telling you. It's wrong :lol: No but serouisly I think Vii may have a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 The whole concept of BMI (body mass index) comes from height v weight. The body mass is mainly made up from Muscle mass + fat mass which are dynamic + bone mass which is usually static. When we get heavier as we get bigger the majority of people put on a ratio of muscle and fat mass. The problem is the majority of people these days are putting on a bigger proportion of fat mass instead of a balanced amount of muscle + fat mass for their height. The BMI charts make the assumption that the majority of people are not exercise fanatics or gym iron pumpers but the standard pottering humanoid. In the latter the fat index climbs faster than the muscle mass because of lack of exercise in relation to their activities. This climb is directly related to the consumption of calorific value of the food they (we) eat. Modern food is loaded with calorific pumped additives which is by nature not ment to be. The consequence is we eat more high calorific value food than we burn off in activities (exercise). Therefore we need to eat less to get the right amount of calorific value we require for our daily activities. The problem is, if we do this the majority end up feeling hungry and eat more. The standard international figure for the average humanoid is 2500 Kcal for MALES & 2000 for females. When you breakdown this value into food, it's pretty low in food terms, reading the back of a typical food product will start you thinking, how high any one thing that you regularly eat is. This is the idea of this thread, that we get the Kcal (calorific value, calories) of daily things and an alternate that is less but virtually the same (tuna in oil v tuna in brine (salt water)). I hope I help out one person, as I'm not a big fatty but I am getting bigger... Fee fi foe thumb... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
