OT: Summer Fitness Thread

Literally WOAT

That was the 2nd worst night of my spring.

Agreed. When thee times roll around that I need to lose a couple pounds...

1) I substitute any sweets with a couple low-sugar hard candies and gum. One jolly rancher can do as much for you as a bowl of ice cream if you use your imagination.

2) I keep lunches at 500 calories flat. That can be a big sandwich, a decent sized veggie omelette, or even two to three of the Hebrew National 97% fat free hot dogs (They're expensive, but taste almost like the real thing. 50 calories a dog) Most low cal hot dogs are downright terrible, but I'll swear to these. Give them a try. You have three of those on small buns and its a 500 calorie lunch.

As a recovering ice cream addict this has been a good trick so far. Thank you.

I just prefer to eat Enlightened ice cream.

1) Because it's super low calorie and low carb (keto friendly)
2) Because it's f***ing fantastic

How Keto differ from Atkins? Other than it seems to supposed to be sustained and not sprints.

Not trolling - don't know much about Keto beyond what's been posted here.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

what combo of veggies would you guys recommend for lunch? I am ramping up the intermittent fasting and would like to replace most sugars and such with vegetables. Also just in general slowly phasing out shit. I really like cucumbers and celery so is that a decent thing?

Interesting will have to check it out.

Keto is by far the most effective thing I have ever done, shit works. Just couldn't make it stick for more than 5-6 months. Props to those of you who can.

Spinach, broccoli, brussel sprouts, corn, peas, mushrooms. Those are my faves.

Enlightened ice cream is amazing.

For example, vanilla is the lowest calorie/carb offering. It's 4 carbs per serving, which is 1/4 of a pint. The entire pint is around 200 calories and 16 carbs. You really can't beat that.

Plus, unlike Halo Top, the consistency is essentially that of full calorie/carb ice cream.

It's far older than Atkins. First stage Atkins and Keto do share a lot of similarities.

Do you cook them or just go raw?

Broccoli. Eat only broccoli.

I’m kidding, but it’s so good for you.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Spinach and mushrooms are great sauteed. My favorite way to eat veggies are roasting them in the oven with some olive oil and salt n pepper. Delicious. Broccoli, CauliFlower and Carrots are my go to for roasting.

Broccoli's Protein/Calories ratio is impecable.Great for staying and getting lean.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I'll start doing that then I think. Going to go actual grocery shopping instead of just for beer and stuff.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Also while not a vegetable, I cannot recommend Avocado's enough.

Plus they're f***ing delicious.

 

[darko]

Spinach cooked. The rest is just mainly zap it in the microwave for a min or 2.

Can't believe i left out avocado. Love it.

Avocado sliced in half and filled with an egg, cheese, and bacon is one of the best breakfast dishes one can ever have. Add some hot sauce and it's GOAT.

Ok now you are making me hungry.

I eat spinach with everything but hate mushrooms. BTW corn is a grain not a vegetable (assuming you're referring to maize).

 

[ponytrekker]

Other than keto, what does everyone do for working out? Do y'all follow someone's program or just have your own weights routine?

Cardio every day for around an hour, then add a 1/2 hour of weights 2x a week. Weight routine is 3 sets per body part all in one day, 20-25 reps per set.

I am old, if I try to lift anything heavy, I hurt myself.

 

[ponytrekker]

2 week into my exchange here in America and I notice people are fat. Is this true of entire country?

If you're in NY you are looking at the slimmest .00001% of the country. Wait until you go to the Midwest where mens sizes START at XXXL !

Add spinach, or kale or spring mix and you have a thing.

Can't stand hot sauce but I actually had this today.

So... f***ing... good.

Depends on the hot sauce. Sometimes, it can be like "Wow! That's a lot of capsaicin!" as opposed to "Wow! That's a lot of flavor and heat!"
