Suzanne Somers Diet Progress Report

[Jasun]

Actually.. My cheat day is Sunday.

I'm leaving the convention a day early so I can join my gay sportbike rider's club at the end of their Three-day Death Valley ride.

I'll meeting up with them at the last stop.. Kernville, CA on Sunday Night.

Last time I was in Kernville, I got caught at 3AM streaking with a cop.

no.. not by... with.

15 lbs.

I've lost 15 lbs.

And I have cheekbones.

And a neck.

And the slightest hint of abs.

I've kinda given up on the dream of having a full 6 pack by November, but I'll have one by early next year anyway..

but MAN, I'm missing beer most of all.

That's great Jasun!!!

What's the one thing you think has made the biggest difference in your transformation?

That's great Jasun!!!

What's the one thing you think has made the biggest difference in your transformation?

Hoenstly, it's the alcohol.

Cutting that out means on the weekends I'm up earlier and in better shape to go out and do something physical.

It means that I eat better at night.

It means that my metabolism is faster through the week.

It also means that I feel healthier and dont' have hang over food on Saturday and Sunday.

Problem: Jasun getting thinner makes me look fatter...

Solution: Must eliminate Jasun.

Rrrraaaawwwrrrrrr!!!

[DonMike]

Hmmm, if I had any photoshop skills I would put Jasun's face on this woman's body. Buy I don't. So just try to picture it. Okay?

[maxpower]

Oh, and Max.. Remember... next time you're going to give advice on any subject?

Don't.

The problem with diets is that they NEVER work, unless you are going to spend the rest of your life on this diet, and what I would assume from situation you are in now is that will not happen. My way is more painful and would take some willpower, but its fast, easy to follow, and once you lose the weight all you have to do is repeat it when ever you put on a few extra pounds, so really you can eat or drink what you want.

Its really simple if you body is putting on fat you are eating to much, if your body is telling you that you need to only eat lets say every other day then that is what you should do. You can make all kind of excuses and try any fad diet you want, but in the end if you do not have control “normally the problem to start with” you will fail.

As I see it you have 2 choices, 1 just eat when ever you want and not care about your weight, or 2 eat what your body tells it needs. You are just deluding yourself with this diet BS, and after a few months will just go back to what you did before.

The most sage advice that I received from a trainer was that "Diets are bad for you. You have to make it a lifestyle change."

It really has to do with maintaining a healthy diet, but also allowing yourself the little extravagances here and there. Really, it's just about eating sensibly.

The way you're doing it, Max, is NOT a healthy way of doing it. Any doctor will tell you that. You have to maintain a steady, consistent diet in order to maintain proper weight and health. If your goal is just to lose weight, you can do it your way, but you're not doing your body any favors.

Actually, when you starve yourself your body goes into "starvation mode", meaning that it believes it's food supply is cut off so it begins to store fat and burn it slower. The trick is to get your body to burn fat faster. This is done through proper diet and exercise.

I just started back on the Suzanne Somers plan (with a few moderations that will make it easy for me to stay on it always rather than treat it like a "diet"). And I signed up for Gold's Gym yesterday (boy are my arms sore). I won't be looking all hot and sexy like Jasun by Phoenix, but hopefully by next summer I'll be able to take my shirt off at the beach and not have PETA try to push me back into the water.

It is so cool to see you guys working out! The one thing that I was taught is every body is different and reacts to diet and exercise different.
Now we all know I have had to basically start from scratch and with proper training and diet I have totally transformed my body. Well also a bit of extra test doesn't hurt! Some of you guys should try a cycle of that just to kick start the muscle mass. Also making sure you fuel that body right after working out. You will see great gains from that.
WOOF!:broccoli:

See I do not want to argue about all this, and I am sure it is different for different people, but this “burning fat faster” is kind of BS, and an excuse to be able to keep eating as much if not different food that allot of “diet plans” push so people will not really have to deal with the fact they are eating too much to start with. As well as not really make any real scarifies, I just think this is a no win situation and why some many people fail with their “diets”

If you do not give your body too much food to eat their is nothing to turn to fat, I really believe they say this stuff to make the “diet” not sound so bad, but in the end its going to come down to scarifies and willpower no matter what they say to sell you a book or diet food. I look at it as, if you can not go 2 days with out food you will never be able to stick to any diet to start with.

I also think its best to lose all the fat first then work on building muscle mass, this is harder but in the end faster. This way after you lose all the fat you can change your diet to one that will help building muscle mass you will need, that the “diet” will really interfere with. Again I believe most “experts” say allot of this stuff because they believe most of their clients really have no willpower to start will, and just want to hear the easy way out with out really any sacrifice.

[FabScout]

I saw Jasun on Friday and YES the Diet is working ya look AWESOME as usual........(yeah yeah..no stalker jokes either)

hehehehe see ya in Phx

[Jasun]

Aw.. you're sweet.

And yes, all my friends in SF who hadn't seen me in a couple months all remarked that yes, I'd lost a considerable amount of weight.

I can stay on this plan a lot easier than a "Starve when you're fat" plan, and I've gotten the reesults I want.
