Legs & muscle

leg-muscles-man-15265902The muscles in the legs are about the biggest in the body so using those is actually very good for weight loss.

There are three exercises that will principally help you get the most out of using your leg muscles. They are Hindu squats (there are plenty of videos on YouTube how to do those), walking or running up and down stairs and finally 100 meter sprints (sprint in one direction, walk back).

Do that as many times as you can up to 4 times and that will be enough for that session and for most people you don’t need to add any extra weight as the weight of your body give your legs a sufficient enough work out unless you want to be Arnold Schwarzenegger of course.

Hope that helps,

Oat & Wheat Fiber Substitute for flour?

wheat and oatsI take the other approach when it comes to trying to find baked goods with low carb ingredients and that is simply have very little of something that I fancy so that it doesn’t go above my carb count for the day.

For instance this morning I had a slice of toast with the emphasis being on “a” as in one and obviously the rest of the day was tailored to make sure that my carb allowance didn’t go above my daily threshold.

This isn’t something I do very often as it’s not a habit that I want to get back into but it is certainly a lot easier than faffing around with things that never really taste the same.

Cheers,

Mark

One great way of lowering the size of your belly as you have already discovered is to lower carbs so it’s great that you have decided to take that approach.

One great way you can help yourself understand how low carb works is to get hold of one of the better low carb books such as Dr. Atkins.

A good read through of a book like that will give you a thorough grounding as it goes trough the whys, the wherefores, the what to do and the what not to do in a nice logical order and the great thing is you probably don’t even need to pay a lot of money for one as you’ll frequently find them in second hand book shops for a dollar or less.

Hope that helps,

Mark

Protein snack ideas?

I quite often have leftover bits of smoked bacon that have been fried up to be nice and crispy  so one thing I like to do is top them off with a bit of strong cheese and then once it has gone cold cut it into squares and just bang them in a Tupperware dish kept in the fridge.

That way I can throw them over a nice mixed salad with feta cheese, roughly chopped eggs, half a handful of nuts and whatever else takes my fancy. It’s quick, simple tasty and nutritious and you can top it off with your favorite homemade mayonnaise or salad dressing.

Hope that helps,

Mark
