Hello everyone

[Guest guest]

Hi I have a son, with HFA and aspergers syndrome and wrote

Little Rainman, Autism Through the Eyes of a Child. Anyway, I also

have set up a website: www.AutismToday.com and we're having Temple

Grandin speak on a Live Teleclass March 25 if anyone is interested

go to www.autismtoday.com!

Welcome LOU and thanks for sharing yourselves with us. At 6'2 no wonder you have trouble reaching your shoe laces.

No need to eat meat. I am a vegetarian for the last 40 years foremost because of health reasons. I get my protein from eggs and especially nuts which are a superior source. If we were meant to eat meat, we would have the teeth and stomach to go with it.

Why?

Unless you're doing it for some religious reason, you're

missing out on a very important nutrient: carnitine. Meats

are a main source of carnitine. And carnitine's function in

our bodies is to allow transport, and thus, utilization, of

fat.

Hi Lou,

I think that I may have picked up on a bit of a

problem, where you mention enjoying a 32 oz. steak.

If that's at all indicative of your portion sizes, you

may have a calorie control problem. Even on a high

protein low carb diet you can't totally ignore

calories. Maybe you need to start thinking more along

the lines of a 10-12 oz steak with veggies as being a meal?

Hello Brawn

Thank you for your feed back. It's the quick results that's keeping

me motivated so far. Right now I'm having trouble doing the ab

exercises, due to my size. Right now I can't kneel on the floor, so

I'm not getting the full effect. I do the standing exercise. I was

thinking of doing it in reps, because I don't really feel a burn when

I do them isometricly(sp?). I got my work out in last night though

and I know it has to be working because I feel some soreness in the

shoulders and legs. I have a long way to go.

Thanks Rolf! Nice to meet you. It's not my hight that's the problem.

It's my big disgusting belly. LOL! That will change though. I lost 30

lbs so far, but I still have a long long way to go. I'm hoping to reach

my goal by this time next year or less. Right now I'm to embarassed to

even say what my weight is. Maybe when I reach my goal I'll post some

before and after pics. There's a lot of people my age and older who

still look and feel great. Why not me?

Good points, I totally agree. This is what this site is all about. It is why I joined and continue posting. Stories like Lou's are uplifting and help me push forward. And then there are others, like our moderator, who impart a ton of scientific and experience based postings. All in all good stuff.

come on here and we'll all help OK!I'm in the same (albeit a smaller version LOL)situation as yourself, used to be "athletic" but work pressures led me to basically not look after myself for too many years.Well those days are over. The most difficult part you have done already, made the decision to turn things around, NO not just the "tomorrow" syndrome but actually get up and do something about it.Good Man.It will take a while for the exercise routine to become second nature but it WILL. I guarantee that the first time you get that all over buzz it will be all the encouragement you need to continue.Remember however, that you CANNOT undo years of neglect instantly. It will take time. Be cautious about setting goals. Psychologically they can be VERY counter productive if not attained.Remember also that everyone is different and your progress will not be the same as anyone

else, but I like to think of the progress I have made (in a short time my program has been running) and THAT motovates me to get up and working out!Good luck, health and be happy in your life.Let us know how you get on.rgdsAndy Brown.(a Scot living and working in the south of France, today it is wet and 18C where's the summer?)>

Hi there, if we come from the apes, yes there are some monkeys that eat meat!

Have a look at this www.come2jesus.com.au/veg.htm

I have heard this statement before " If we were meant to do this or that

we would have this or that "

Humans are meat eaters, we came from meat eaters and the best food for

us to eat and derive our nutrition from is meat.

[Guest guest]

Eating meat is a personal choice for anyone. Being a vegetarian isn't always the healthiest choice, nor is consuming a lot of meat. Most meat contains hormones and other chemicals, and vegetables contain pesticides and other poison, and very little protein.. There is nothing wrong with eating meat or being a vegetatarian, the choice is personal. I, personally, could not be a vegetarian (and I, nor my family nor any other human I know, came from apes ).

Hi Lou,

that is interesting that meat makes you tired and I am sure there are others experiencing the same because it is heavy and harder to digest. Meat eating animals have shorter intestines that prevents putrification, unlike us. There is also a lot of diseases in animals these days as well as pesticides. Fish is much easier to digest. But watch out for the high mercury content which is carcinogenic.

I agree that it's a choice. We can protein from soy. What we really

have to watch out for is the prosessed food. I'm choosing not to eat

to energize me. Especially Sushi. Does anybody know why?

Thanks Ramon and Welcome to the group.

I'm sticking with it, however I do backslide once in a while. It's

hard living here in Brooklyn. Brooklyn has just as many great

resturaunts as Manhattan and they're easy to get to and much less

expensive. You live not too far from me so you probably know exactly

what I'm talking about. I live around the corner from a Kosher Deli,

down the block from a Greek Diner, two blocks from Chinese

resturaunt, and a block and a half from an Italian hero place. Plus

I work in the hospitality industry where there's food all over the

place. Considering this, I think I've been pretty good. LOL!

I gained back 2 lbs but I'll be back on track. I just bought a

bunch of supplements yesterday. I haven't stopped working out

though. My physical apperence is still boardering on disgusting LOL!

However I do feel stronger and I'm getting through my work day a

little easier. Enough of me though.

Since I joined this group I found that there's a number of people

who are very knowlegeable in nutrition and physical fitness. There

are also a number of guys who lend their support. If you check the

files on the left side of the site, you'll find some great info on

the Bullworker and how to use it. I'm using a few of the exercises

and I'm getting good results. I suggest you warm up before your

workout. the warm up seems to energize me. It's in the video in the

files section and its very simple. Even when I don't feel like

working out, I'll do the warm up and for some reason it makes me

feel better and I'm more motivated to go through my whole routine.

Nice to meet you Ramon and thank you for your support! You will get

stonger using the Bullworker. It really is faster than weights!
