Nutrition Information

Does anyone know any good sports nutrition/ diet planner websites?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:13:47 +0000

I am looking to make a training plan and would like to know of any websites or leaflet/ booklets etc where I can get help.

I am looking for something that will give me advice on foods to eat and how to build myself up and maintain a healthy diet.

Also looking to be able to make exercise program and record what I do and eat. Maybe a site that can give me data, feedback etc too.
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.

In short I am looking for a website to help with food nutrition and training planning.

I have been using the daily plate for a few years now and I love it. I keep track of my workouts and my intake. It’s now part of the LiveStrong website so you’ll find it there. good luck!

Take a multivitamin instead. It’s the same thing, and it’s a lot cheaper. Seriously.

What soft drinks or sports drinks have the least amount of sugar and sodium?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:13:38 +0000

I am looking for a way to hydrate myself without getting too much sugar or sodium. I have tried to start drinking regular water but I just don’t have the taste for it and then I wind up not drinking it. I already have 3-4 cups of herbal tea a day (I whole-heartedly promote tea) but I need more.

try adding some lemon or lime juice to your water

What could I do to gain massive weight?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:13:34 +0000

I’m 14 years old, 6′1 and 155lbs. I’m an active athlete who wants to enhance my strength and performance. In the past two years, I grew about 4.5 inches a year which is why I’m so damn skinny. I was just wondering what I could buy at a local nutrition shop like GNC to gain a ton of weight and muscle fast. I work out every day (just started) and play multiple sports. Any suggestions? Also telling what gains that could be expected from the product would be great.
the only good answer i’ve gotten so far is from Kame. if i wanted to know that "you don’t have to be bigger" , "you just have to eat right and work out" , or how to become a fatass, i would have asked. i don’t see how any of the answers yall gave me were relevant to the question. how are you even top contributors? unless you have actual advice to gain weight piss off.

Being 6′1" and weighing 155 lb. is not "damn skinny" sorry! I’m 6′2" and weigh 135 lb. and i could still lose 5-10lb. if I wanted to. I don’t think you need to gain weight, I think you have body image issues where you don’t think you weigh enough.

Is there a reliable forum link that discuss alternative medicine, nutrition, supplements, etc.?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:13:30 +0000

I want to discuss and disseminate fact from bogus info regarding brands of supplements, alternative therapies, food as a source of healing, merits of yoga, meditation, etc. I’m not looking for a site where "professionals" give answers. Just a simple to follow forum with people of like-minded concern.
I’m not interested in sites that sell products. I prefer a forum where there is proven and factual info from an unbiased source and possibly testimonials.

This is a very good source a natural medecines. vaxa.com Check it out. I am alive today because i used their products when I had cancer in 1993. Listen to Dr. Headley discuss various products. There is unconditional guarantee on all products.

I want to have an education in nutrition and phyiscal health?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:13:26 +0000

what degree would i need? what type of good paying jobs could i get?
i would like to be a business man, work for a health company or some thin, any tips to help me would be appreciated, thanks
and is there jobs for this degree easy to find (needed)

big hard red and painful acne grow on my butt when I take my bodybuilding supplements?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:13:16 +0000

Now im definetly sure that these supplements couse the acnes because the day I started taking them the after i realised acnes. it has also happened before.
any suggestion?

lol that is a boil on your butt. and what you need to do is lay a hot towel on the boil ,will take away pain if there is some and draw the head to the top. some you can pop on your own or the doctor will have to cut it and drain out the yucky stuff

is this good nutrition for bodybuilding and losing weight?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:13:13 +0000

breakfast:-protein shake+banana+multi vitamins+cod liver oil+magnesium and zinc.dinner:-tuna+pasta.tea:-jacket potato+tuna+pasta.after training:-creatine+l glutamine.evening snack:-protein shake+banana.4 to 6 pints of water thru the day.the nutritional value is carbs:-250 grams.protein:-155 grams.calories:-1800 kcal.fat:-30 grams

It depends on what you weigh. You want one gram of protein for every pound you weight for starters. Second, I didn’t see a lunch in there. You want to be eating 4-6 meals a day, the two largest being breakfast and post-workout. A lot of companies have done research and the general rule for maintenance is 12-13 calories per pound you should be eating, along with half an hour of cardio 3-4 days a week and getting a good lifting workout in 3-4 days a week.

Hope that helps.

Please help can I loose 10 pounds in a month, I only plan on doing this one month not for an extended period?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:13:07 +0000

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..

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.
