I'm not having too much trouble with the diet. It's the lack of exercise that is hurting me. I have to be motivated to exercise, because, well, exercise sucks.
I saw a documentary recently about the 5:2 diet. In brief, two days of fasting each week. Apparently the body reacts favourably to fasting. Also, exercise is to include 3 minutes of intense effort. Anybody heard of the 5:2 diet?
I love the McChicken and they are only $1. The thing I love most though is the $1 unsweetened ice tea. Can't beat that price, if you go to a convenience store it's an easy $2 for a beverage.I asked my doc about this.
Turns out, fasting creates the same effect as eating smaller meals several times a day without creating a "starvation" effect in the body. Basically, smaller meals elicit a better fat burn without the stress on your organs.
Another thing that was mentioned was water intake. You need to really pour H2O into your body. It helps with that hunger feeling and helps shed the pounds at the same time with zero caloric intake. Win/Win.
I piss about 47 times a day now that I am crushing water like it's going out of style. But it balances my hunger so I can eat less and more balanced without needing to supplement with "quick snacks" which are inevitably high in calories and not good for you.
Something that shocked me was looking at some fast food joint menus and nutritional information. A big mac, for example, is like 540 calories. But a large fries, which always accompanies it, is 560 calories. That seems utterly ridiculous that two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seeded bun could be out worked by "fries".
F-me, deep fried food should be outlawed - but GAWDDAMN, is it tasty.

Jim, I can wholeheartedly recommend cycling. Getting a bike has more versatility than just running or walking. Going for a ride is a fun journey. The exercise benefits are a value add.I might look into a rowing machine. I love walking but it's hard to motivate yourself to walk when it's 10* and the sidewalks are covered in snow/ice.
I've thought of an except code bike too or a treadmill...

cardio is so bloody boring
Yeah, I understand that the rowing machine is excellent cardio. But unfortunately it bores me to tears.Yep, but it is so bloody good for you. That part sorta outweighs the suck of it.
I just watched the 4th quarter of a football game, rowing the entire time. It's amazing if you just get in a rhythm and just go without thinking about it.
This is the rower I have. The wife loves it too.
