and I plan on using a diet that will be more than fine for said workout’s I just want to know since it’s 3 weeks should I bother with weights of just treadmill to death? plus other cardio like dance …. please dont tell me you cant do this yes you can but with the right nutrition …. athletes do it all the time to change class ect

You can do this…

Don’t eat ANY processed food- no fast food, no restaurants, no microwave or packaged food. Just eat plain fruits and vegetables, fish, and poultry with no skin. Eliminate dairy products, they make you bloated. No refined wheat/starches.
So no bread!! You can eat Ezekiel tortillas- they are sprouted grains and offer complete protein plus great fiber.
Do not use salad dressing unless you make it yourself with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs. Regular salad dressing is a processed food, loaded with chemicals that make you bloated and prevent weight loss..
Just a little bit of new information today for all those internet marketers looking for the best new up and coming release for 2010. Be on the lookout of Niche Blueprint 2 coming on January 11, it is going to be huge and change the ecommerce marketplace.

Do NOT consume "diet" foods, they are loaded with crap and you won’t lose weight. Anything with aspartame (Nutri-sweet) or Splenda is toxic. The only safe sweetner is Stevia, which does not taste good. Better off skipping desserts and snacks altogether. That is how you will be able to keep the weight off once you lose it. Raw veggies or fruit are good snacks.

Exercise is great for muscle tone, but you will not lose weight. You will burn fat and gain muscle mass. This is good, but if you want to drop pounds you have to make changing your diet a priority.(permanently if you don’t want to gain it back).

If you can go organic as much as possible, even better. Organic foods have 30% more nutrients, and your body will absorb those nutrients more effectively. You do get what you pay for.

I need informations about how much nutriions an athlete from different sports need? like how much carbohidrat a swimmer would need, how much protein a basketball player needs, etc. it would help if you can give me some sources from the web.tx beforeJust a little bit of new information today for all those internet marketers looking for the best new up and coming release for 2010.

I know he is a beloved sports figure, but I think that’s a joke. This is an athlete who is unable to push himself away from table and has all sorts of injuries all related to being overweight. What is he going to teach children?

IMO, ABC has some of the worst programming. It doesn’t surprise me that they would do that. the televised media could care less about getting accurate information to people. It’s all about ratings and making a profit from advertising.

When planning a personal strength muscle-building program, one should consider more than just a physical training regimen. It is vital to plan a nutritional program as well, with emphasis on adequate calorie intake aimed at building lean muscle mass.It takes a large number of calories to fuel both workouts and tissue building. And it’s also important to get the right kinds of calories, particulary calories rich in carbohydrates, protein, fat and other nutrients.

Carbohydrates are the main energy source for strength training.They are stored in the muscles as glycogen, the all-important fuel that supplies energy for short, intense bursts of power. If your glycogen level is low, then the faster you will tire. Many athletes routinely load up on carbohydrates to maintain high levels of glycogen.

Protein is the main building block for muscle tissue and it’s important to consume just the right amount of protein.Most amateur body builders actually overestimate their protein needs. The daily recoimmended protein intake is about 0.6 to 0.8 grams per pound of body weight. That’s about 90 to 115 grams of protein/day for the 140-pound athlete and 128 to 164 grams for those weighing 200 pounds.

Fat is important as well but only a small amount is required to stay heatlhy. Less than 30% of your total daily calories should come from unsaturated fat.

Water, sports drinks, muscle supplements and creatine are other essential nutrients for an effective muscle-building program.

It takes eight glasses of water a day to stay in the pink of health and more than to replace all the fluids you lose during exercise. It is recommended that you drink 2 cups of fluid 2 hours before exercise, 4 to 8 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes during workouts and 16 ounces of water after exercise.

Sports Drinks are especially effective for exercise sessons that last over an hour. Supplements that contain creatine, fluid and electrolyte replacers, carbohydrate supplements, and liquid meal replacers help build muscles.

Creatine gives the body more power during workouts, especially if combined with a good diet and strenghth training program. Meat is the best source for creatine. Typical dose for creatine loading is 5 grams of creatine monohydrate four times per day for 5 days. A maintenance dose of 2 grams per day can follow.

I have a product idea that I want to present to a company that sells protein bars and nutrition bars to athletes. I am not sure if my idea is an "invention", so I do not know if a patent will work to protect my idea. What is the BEST way to protect my idea from anyone stealing it, and present it to the company? please help me!!!!!

Patent or Trademark it.

Universal Nutrition’s Animal M-stak contains 5,7-Dihydroxyflavone and Kudzu Extract which are listed as aromatase inhibitors. I’m not exactly sure which agencies/authorities govern legality of these and other Sports Supplements. Any help appreciated before I try something out and pop on a urine test.

Aromatase inhibition, the abstract concept, just prevents estrogens from being produced, it makes no claims as to how androgens and other hormones are effected.

For example, aromasin, a Rx only aromatase inhibitor by itself does not have androgen effects, a metabolite it is turned into does. Has it made it on the list, I do not know, but I see why it could make it on the list.

So, although I do not know the answer to this question, I can tell you that you should check first on what this particular inhibitor does in terms of androgens, second you should actually check with the olympic officials regarding a list of banned substances. It would be logical to assume that if it has androgenic effects it would be banned, but as the site listed below mentions sometimes supplements have ingredients not listed on the package which are banned.

Here are two sites:

Nutrition for the Track & Field and Cross Country Athlete examines the USDA food pyramid and addresses whether many aspects of it offer the most appropriate approach to achieve and maintain the desired level of health in both athletes and non-athletes alike. The DVD then details a newer approach–the Harvard Medical School food pyramid–as an alternative, healthier nutrition model. The DVD is especially useful for coaches who deal with athletes suffering from eating disorders and also offers healthy options for eating, including what to eat prior to and during competition. Among the topics covered: problems with eating healthy, faults with the USDA Pyramid, a healthier pyramid model (Harvard Medical School model), understanding carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, what to eat the day before competition, the day of competition, and after both, competition and workouts, the critical nature of water for the athlete, and eating disorders: definitions, signs, and research.
