I agree with 90% of what he said.  In our career field, we don't encourage supplements...most supplements state "if taken in conjunction with a good exercise program and good eating habits you'll notice results."  If you have a good exercise program and good eating habits, guess what, you'll see results.  When setting up goal, make them realistic...instead of I want to lose 30lbs by the summer, you could say i want to lose six pounds a month.  If you do the calculation it's pretty much the same thing but 6lbs in a month compared to 30lbs by the summer...six sounds a lot easier.  As far as protein, the .36 is supposed to be times your body weight in kilograms (i think.)  The formula is your body weight divided by 2.2 equals your weight in kg.

No it's 0.36 times you body weight. Example: your weight 200lb x 0.36 = 72 grams to remain you weight but if you are setting a target weight like 180 then take 180lb x 0.36 = 64.8 round up 65 grams.

When you weigh yourself yes you divide by 2.2 to get the weigh kg but you dont have grams of protien needed to lose the weight and tone your body.

Also remember do cardio guys thats important when doing and learning you craft

I think black people in general are overweight. BUT at church it's worse because we feel that eating is the one vice that we have that isn't really a sin. As a people we've eaten our woes away over the years, especially during slavery. I think the difference then was that although we were eating hamhocks and pickle meat and food sitting in grease and gravy with bread and that pot liquor we were also in the fields working our tails off. But not, we eat and sit down.

I've just lost almost 20 pounds and I didn't realize how big I had gotten. I also didn't realize how poorly I ate until I stopped. The biggest thing to remember is there's like 20 different things you can do to lose weight, not just diet and exercise. A diet is for life.

What helped me is:

1. It's what you do 90% of the time that makes the difference.
2. There's a difference between trying to lose weight and trying to keep it off. In the first you do whatever you have to do and in the second you just maintain.
3. Don't eat seconds.
4. Eat smaller portions.
5. Eat snacks. Don't save up, you'll eat more that way.
6. Eat fruits and vegetables big time
7. Exercise more often for less time or less often for more time.
8. Don't go around telling everybody you're on a "diet". They'll be waiting for you to fail unfortunately. Just let people see the change take place.
9. Don't eat fast foods which means you'll have to plan ahead. Don't run out of food. Make sure you have groceries or else you'll go out ot eat.
10. Get that one safe food item that you can eat anywhere. Like a salad.
11. Reward yourself in other ways. Not with food.
12. Replace the things you loved with other things. If you take away all dessert you're going to miss it. Replace it with a non-fat smoothie or something. Or give yourself one treat every two weeks. If you're really a sweets junkie you mat not be able to handle that. Only you know.
13. DRINK WATER. After you've been drinking only water for a while when you do try to drink a soft drink it'll curl your lips anyway.

...I ran out of food.

Guys, U got2 keep balance in your lifestyle..

I haven't been a proactive athlete for almost 3 years now, but I try to jog at least once a week.
I also carry two very VERY heavy bags & go all over with them.
I run around at every opportunity I get..

Finally, I've sub^d the usual tempting biscuits with ProVitas ..now I know I can finish a whole double pack & its no 1's business:  3/ 4 crackers =1 slice of bread i.t.o Kjs.

I also drink flavored H₂O instead of the fizzy drinks..if not, then I love Sprite Zero, Coke Lite & all other dietary drinks..

People always think I'm crazy (more especially because my physique is not what people would classify as "outa shape")..but I just tell them straight up that :

1) I drink the stuff I drink coz I love it, tastes nice
2) Has added benefits of very lil to no sugar at all! ( unlike al he fizzy drinks which are just an accumulation of glucose )

Simple changes in lifestyle can reap tremendous results

Start today NOW!! & U'll be in shape like MY shadow..lol

[Audiocr381ve]

I'm kind of skeptical of the dietary drinks with the artificial sugar. The stuff has caused cancer in Lab Rats. I stay on the safe side and stay away from that stuff.

Is Coke Lite & Sprite Zero included?

Well, I'm sure flavored spring water is not like that.

Either way, everything seems to have its disadvantages..
No weapon formed vs me will prosper if it means these things cause cancer..

Let me start by saying that I am by no means in shape. And from what I can tell there are alot of musicians who aren't in shape either. I know organists who when they get on the organ, thier stomach is touching the organ.

About a year and a half ago God had elevated me to play at a pretty big church. But with this elevation, I was required to be at the church 5 days out of the week, for rehearsals, which could last for hours, and other things that go on. So between work and church, my eating habits got horrible. Going to fast food places on my way to rehearsal and then right back after rehearsals and not to mention the dinners that would be cooked when we had to sing at other churches.

Between work and the church there was no time for the gym, or excercising or trying to eat right. And after talking to a few of my musician friends they feel the same way. For most musicians, music is life, So a majority of our time is spent doing something music related, so we don't think about that stuff. I was gaining weight and didin't even notice until my Pastor preached "being healthy" to us.

I'm not trying to be funny, I just wanted to share that, because I know I'm not the only one who gets so caught up in music that when I get hungry, theres only time for a $1 Double cheeseburger, then its off to play. I think we really got to get a hold on this because I want to be here to see my kids play (when I have them), and thier kids play for a long time to come!

Im in shape! Round!!!
