Answer: you dont look too bad but think about adding some fats like nuts and keep eating what you do along with drinking a lot of milk. i dont know what kind of shape you are in but try starting with 100 and u can break them up into sets of at least 10

I Need Some Help With A Diet and Exercise. Please Help?

Filed under: diet help — Tags: crossfit, diet, muay thai, muscle mass, quot, shape, weight training, workout — judy @ 12:02 pm

This week’s question is a good one. Let’s have a look:

Question: I’m looking to get in shape in the next 6 months. I’m 20 years old, 6′3" at 200lbs. I’m looking to get back into Crossfit and Muay Thai. I also plan to run everyday. Morning runs. At least 3 miles a day. I have my workout scheduled and planned out. It goes as followed:
Monday: AM Run, PM Muay Thai
Tuesday: AM Run, PM Crossfit
Wednesday: AM Run, PM Muay Thai
Thursday: AM Run, PM Crossfit
Friday: AM Run, PM Muay Thai
Saturday: AM Run, PM Crossfit
Sunday: Weight Training (For muscle mass)
What I need now is the diet. What combination of foods do I need in order to gain muscle and look leaner? Can someone help me?!

Answer: Damn dude your already massive, for diet i’d try bulking and cutting later when you want to get rid of some bodyfat. Eat 500 calories more than your maintenance (which is usually around 2000-2200) keep your protein high and eat moderate carbs and some fat here and there too. I suggest chicken breast and whey protein with milk for your protein intake, it’s the cheapest most convenient option but it’s really up to you. Some healthy fats to snack on would be almonds avocados that kind of thing. And for carbs i’d recomend potatoes spaghetti oatmeal rice etc. Check out swole.me its a site that makes a diet for you, it’s not perfect but I think it’s a good start and than you can modify that diet to how you see appropriate.

I Need Help Staying Motivated on My Diet?

Filed under: diet help — Tags: celebs, collage, diary, diet, shape — judy @ 12:02 pm

What’s this week’s diet help question? Let’s dive straight in…

Question: Any tips? I’m 14.

To keep me motivated I have made/done:
-collage of my fave celebs and how in shape they are
-rules for me to follow
-a diary type thing to write about how i think i did each day

what else can i do?

Answer: Okay, first of all, Miss Elly Bee, what is your BMI and why are you trying to lose weight?

If you are legitimately overweight and need to shed some pounds, talk to your mom, doctor, P.E. Teacher, coach, etc to make sure your diet plan is healthy, effective, and attainable for a young teenage girl. All of the afore-mentioned people, as well as friends, cousins, siblings, etc can help motivate you to stay on track. You can tell the people Around you something like, "hey, I’m on a diet, so keep the twinkies away from me!" also, you can assign your best friend or someone to check on your progress every day. If you keep in mind that you’ll have to report to somebody that you ate a handful of mini marshmallows, you’ll be less likely to do it, you know?

Another thing about friends is that they make for great exercise buddies call up your girlfriends and be like "let’s go for a walk" so you can be social AND burn calories! Dancing is good, too. Hook up your iPod when no ones watching (or even better, get your friends/sisters/cousins, etc together for an epic karaoke dance-off party).

If you’re already skinny but you want to make the runway models cry in shame, that’s really not a good idea. Being healthy is one thing, being obsessive is outright dangerous. Talk to an adult before you jump into a serious diet, diets arent something you should just throw around loosely. Your diet should include a good amount of vegetables and vitamin-rich foods. Remember, little Elly Bee that you are just fourteen years old and you still have some growing up to do, don’t waste your youth trying to look like celebs that are years and years older than you! Who are also airbrushed, heavily made-up, wearing hundreds of dollars in clothes, photoshopped to look thinner, taller, curvier, smoother, natural-er….

Good luck & peace!! <3

Can Someone Help Me Plan out a Diet?

Filed under: diet help — Tags: diet, lifestyle, shape, workout — judy @ 12:02 pm

I just love answering these diet help questions. Here’s another:

Question: I want to have a diet to suit my active lifestyle, while at the same time being time and cost efficient. I’m pretty active, eg I workout and run. However, I don’t want to make this diet up of carbohydrates. I want a diet that will keep me in shape (i dont mean skinny either) physically and mentally.

Answer: hey!(: i love making mealplans!
breakfast: 2 slices whole wheat bread with 2 tbsp PB (good protein and fats for workouts) and 1 cup milk (could be 1% or 2% or skim)
snack: protein bar and a fruit
lunch: 2 slices whole wheat with turkey breast/grilled chicken, cheese of your choice, lettuce. chopped raw veggies with 1 tbsp dressing. a fruit
snack: make your own trailmix! 1/4 cup almonds,1/3 cup raisins, 1/4 cup dark/milk chocolate chips, a glass of milk/fruit juice
dinner: 6 oz grilled salmon, one medium sweet potato with smart balance/spread/butter, salad with 1 tbsp dressing and 1/3 cup beans (great protein in this meal!
snack: cottage cheese with fruit

this mealplan is high in protein and will keep you feeling energetic and strong(: i got it from a nutritionist, but if you dont like anything on it, i can help you adjust it (:

Boxing Workout and Diet Help?

Filed under: diet help — Tags: boxing, diet help, shape, workout — judy @ 12:03 pm

Keep the diet help questions coming! I liked this one:

Question: I am looking for a workout for boxing that can help me shed weight and get in good boxing shape. Also I am looking for a good boxing diet to follow.

Answer: for a boxing regimen, there are several factors but the basic drills are:
-stretches ~20minutes
-(w/ proper hand wraps and boxing gloves) punch punching bag for 3 min. straight non-stop. feel free to mix up all sorts of punches from jabs to straights and move around the bag every now and then. don’t just stand in one spot.
-jump rope (try 500 at first day and slowly increase after each session)
-set up a small but sturdy platform you can find these in gyms or ask the people who work there for one. with both legs together jump on to the middle of the platform, then jump off and land both feet on ground. repeat. try one set of 200 your first time, it is grueling work-out but it works on your leg muscles.
-speed bags
-targets- if you have a friend or trainer, and have the target mits, you can do combination punches and dodge or duck w/ them too
-cool-off and stretch

As for diet:
-try to avoid fastfood, fried food, white bread, pasta, white rice, and bad sugar
-do eat more veggies and fruits like carrots, potatoes, bell peppers, spinach (better than lettuce), banana, apples, blue berries, oranges, etc…
-eat lean meat, fish, eggs (not too many b/c they have cholesterol), pork, beans, low-fat yogurt
-if you choose to eat nuts, eat unsalted nuts
-for milk drink 1%, 2% or skim
-for bread, make sure its high on fiber and whole wheat, a lot of brands claim to be whole wheat but you can double check by reading the nutrition label and compare it w/ the breads around

when you go on a diet, take it slow, and don’t lose motivation if you accidentally break it, everyone needs a break sometimes so maybe once a month or every couple of weeks, treat yourself. Remember that a diet doesn’t mean not eating, its eating the right foods, boxing will take up a lot of calories and you need the food for energy.

Good luck w/ boxing. =)

Diet and Training Tips for Swimming PLEASE HELP :)?

Filed under: diet help — Tags: body hair, diet, muscles, shape, strenght, swimming strokes, toned stomach — judy @ 5:36 am

This week’s question is as follows:

Question: Hey there im a 17 yo male and im going to go swimming atleast 3 times a week for an hour or more as i want to get in shape and mabey even join a squad and compete.

I want to build my muscles and work on getting a toned stomach like close to a 6 pack or like the starting of one? just basicly getting all toned up and building on my strenght and muscles.

I need to know what foods i should eat while i train and what NOT to eat.

I also need any imformation on any spasific swimming strokes i should focus on to work on spasific area’s.

I am just about 6 foot, I am 63kg thats like 140 pounds

Any other information would help
Should i shave my body hair?
Is it worth buying the speedo shorts for the speed?

anything thanks alot

Answer: What foods to eat: Carbs (bread, pasta, and grains), fruits and veggies, and protein (peanut putter, meat, eggs).

Why? Carbs supply you with long term energy that will keep you going during your workouts; fruits and veggies contain a lot of great vitamins and minerals that will keep you going; protein will help keep your muscles healthy

What foods not to eat: Sugars (candy, ice cream, sweets), junk foods (potato chips, greasy foods, saturated fats), and pop, beer and drugs.

Why? Sugars are simple carbs that you will use and then your body will crash (sluggishness, tiredness, ect.); the bad chemicals and oils in them will not help your internal digestion and they make your body feel slow and unhealthy; and the last three are due mainly with reaction times (how fast you get off the block and how you recover), and your shouldn’t do them anyway if you are trying to get healthy. They will make you feel super slow.

Body hair: Normally swimmers don’t shave their heads, legs, and arms until they get to their final meet (conference, sectionals, state).

Suit: Speedos are the normal competing suits, but jammers (knee length suits) are also really popular.

Strokes: Start off with freestyle, and have a coach or trainer help you with the specifics of backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke. They are really easy to mess up and do wrong without coaching, so make sure you have help getting the technique right. Beginning swimmers normally start in free and work their way up to back, fly and breast.

A good site for stroke help is this one: http://ezinearticles.com/?Swimming—The-Four-Strokes&id=128364. Looking up the strokes on Youtube will also help you a lot too.

Good Luck!
