I'm trying to find a way to really kick up my fat loss so every little tip helps. I'm going to try going ultra-low-carb for my last two meals (I work out right after work so supper usually falls around 6:30). I'm talking tuna/chicken, veggies, and water. That's it. I'm not sure if that'll do it but I'm willing to try pretty much anything at this point. I'm heading down to LA/Vegas for a 3 week vacation after this challenge is over so I'd like to melt away as much fat as I can (so I can bring myself to take my shirt off at the beach).

Adding that after the 20 minutes of death you mean? As it is I usually do an extra 6 minutes at level 5 just to cool down.

I don't like the sound of that. Without my starchy carbs, what's left? =B-) > Good luck at the beach!!! I'm sure you'll look great. > > Merced If/when I do you'll see it on the website. I'm hoping to have pics up there at the end of this challenge...but it might be the next one the way things are going in terms of fat loss....

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2000 Report Share Posted July 10, 2000 It's totally okay...in fact...as an example...Bill sometimes uses his free for fasting purposes. - In a message dated 10-Jul-00 09:41:58 AM Eastern Daylight Time, konowalec@... writes: << Is eating less on the free day detrimental to my program or is it ok?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2000 Report Share Posted July 10, 2000 Yes, I have experienced this from the start. I usually have to mentally make myself eat.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 So free day is coming up and I'm so READY for it. I have my list of things I'd like to eat, LOL. Questions for you veterans. Do you still have SIX meals during your free day? Please share with us what a typical free day looks like for you. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I love going out for breakfast on my freeday too. A couple of wks ago, I went to Mc's for lunch and ordered a Big Mac--I couldn't eat half of it. The idea of it was so much better than it was itself.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I personally usually have 3-4 meals on a free day. I try not to overdo it because if we eat 10,000 calories not only we'll get sick but we will also store it someplace! (hips?) > > > > So free day is coming up and I'm so READY for it.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Advertising companies know how to do their jobs VERY well and have NO conscience regarding the health of what they throw at us. They are all out there giving the public any line they can to get our MONEY; cigarettes, fats, sweets, alchohol, sodas, you name it... It does make me mad.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I know what you mean, Liz. I do love knowing that free day gives me the chance to try flavors. The first bite is always the best. Sometimes, I just savor it and stop there. M. > > You know...I'm almost always disappointed on my freedays.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Probably not too much, because you have to remember that your workouts burn calories too...so that's an additional caloric deficic for the week.
