The fitness/diet meal plans I have tried in the past seem to be geared more towards the male metabolism, bio-chemistry and physiology. I found cutting the suggested portions by 25% to 50% gave me more energy and leaned me out more evenly. Additionaly, the kind of foods, food protions and frequency of workouts had to be adjusted during menstration cycle. Also, the metabolism, physiology and bio-chemistry of women going through menopause and pregnancy often changes. Do you know of any fitness/diet books geared towards the female metabolism, bio-chemistry and physiology?
eat every meal every 2 1/2 hours apart to keep your metabolism going. Remember 3 1/2 Hours after your last bite, your metabolism shuts down. When your metabolism shuts down you build up stored body fat.
This sort of diet and workout plan is all fine and good, if its all you do. 5 meals a day and a 5 p.m. workout doesn't ring with an air of convenience for the Reservist/college student with a part time job who is also gearing up for a deployment. Right now, I work out, both weights and cardio early in the morning and the rest of my day is full. Anyone have any dietary ideas for the time compressed out there?
I've been eating 3 meals a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner. All I drink is water. I have the best of intentions to get up early and exercise but I end up exercising after work. Right now I'm kind of stuck with my weight loss. I've lost 50 pounds so far though. I don't know what your fitness level is right now so I can't really offer any advice. As for a good book for womens fitness I have no clue. I get a variety of the magazines for women and they are lacking (at least for me).
I have been given several different ways to lose weight in order to join. Can some one please tell me which one do i need to do. I am confused and frusterated.
