Fatburner for my gf ! advice?

[Gordz24]

The hardest thing is, I live at home. Im 24 and Igo to school fulltime.. Italian mom cooks like 3 times a day lol. I no longer have a job so that is a good thing. I havent eaten fast food in about 3 weeks now and strangely I don't have a craving either..

Right now im 208lbs and im 5'8''. I just got a membership to this huge community center in the city my school is in, and i have class all the time. I definetly need to lose atleast 30 pounds. I feel like I have no stamina too.

Im afraid my diet is gonna push me off the edge and i'll break..

I eat eggs and toast in the morning. A salad and pickles for lunch. and more eggs and pickles for dinner and a big glob of anpb. I drink a few bottles of water too.

Im going to school for Registered Nurse so i really know how carbs/lips/proteins are used and metabolized. But still i feel bad if i eat carbs even if they are complex.

I dont know what else to say. I am going to the gym now and will go 4-5 times a week and they will include cardio on those days of atleast 25 min on top of working out.

FIRST THING'S FIRST.... NO MORE EXCUSES. Taking ownership, and responsibility for, your success and failure is the biggest key to true transformation. As for the mom issue... Your mom cooks the food, it's up to you to say NO, cook your own food, and/or get her to cook you some grilled chicken breasts each day before she breads the rest and puts on the mozzarell.

I wish I had this problem of an over-eager mom, but I find that moms who love to cook will cook what you ask them to as long as they see it makes you happy and you're eating it.


Bottom line, you are in charge of what you put into your body.

Yeah it is, BELIEVE me I understand I promise you this though, keep to a good program consistently and follow a guru like Bunny's advice, and you'll reach this point where you're doing SO WELL that that becomes all you care about and except for the weekly or bi-weekly cheat meal, nothing can keep you off the course you map out for yourself. You have the willpower to reach your goals I promise.

I have a few questions that I dont know or haven't learned the answers to.

I see Bunny eats oatmeal. I like oatmeal but only with splenda. Is there a limit to splenda intake per day?

Also how about coffee? Is it bad if it's sweetened with splenda? I have these generic crystal light things too that are sugar free. Can i add those to water? Are all things things considered "clean"

And sorry for jacking this thread up lol.

I'm glad I moved out of my mom's place at 18. I fear visiting for the sole purpose that mothers show affection through their meals. It's hard to tell your mom that you dont want to eat the meal shes been slaving over for the last 2 hours.

LOL that combined with the smell. My mouth just starts watering haha.

There's nothing wrong with adding splenda to your oatmeal or coffee or crystal light to your water.. try to use moderation and and reason. Two packets on the oatmeal, then try one at some point and eventually u might like it plain down the road (or not and thats OK too). Just a general rule of thumb with artificial sweeteners, don't go overboard. No 30 packets a day of the stuff!! They won't ruin your diet though and they definitely really can help satisfy the sweet tooth and make boring food taste better.

 

[Gordz24]

Alright. I have a huge bag of it and usually i put a few spoonfools in coffee and i put a few spoons in the oatmeal. Its the first time ive had oatmeal in like a year. I forgot howu good it was. But i added a little skim milk because i hate how thick it is.

Awww Kab right on brotha

little bit of tough love you got going on up there but gordz, you're lucky you live in a country where NOT eating the hosts food is an insult... seems you are a bit spoiled in a few ways, but HEY, I was too and I am such a brat about it!! BUT you either decide if you want to be chunky or see your abs one day, and eating home cooked Italian is OT the quickest way to get you there... for a cheat meal once a week? SURE, but limit it.. cut it down if you have to to start so you don't quit right away...

Splenda is fine, also cinnamon, ALSO berries up in that oatmeal... I HATED oatmeal and sweet potatoes, NOW i love them, YUM-MY... healthy food CAN taste good, it doesn't have to be painful ...

remember your diet is #1 priority here, you can train you butt off and eat like crap but I am guessing it's not going to her you to where you want to go.
Diet
Training
then cardio in that order, I feel is the key to success, at least mine and few others I know

Moderation is good, so enjoy yourself once in a while, but ultimately remember your goal is to lose fat and things will fall into place once you get into a routine ... esp with the ating habits...

tell your mom, that you love her and her cooking to death but maybe to prepare some healthy dishes for you? or not get mad if you stop eating her food so often?

Right now this is what I do...
up at 4 am gym at 5, try to study there if I can doing my post workout cardio, get ready for work, work til 5, class til 9pm, gym again, home sleep rinse repeat... sure i am training for a comp but hey, you can always find a way if you want it bad enough...
