Why? A large amount of muscle is absolutely fantastic for the body! Muscle burns 17x more calories than fat so regardless of total body weight, it is ok to be a large person when your body fat is low. An old trainer of mine was 265 and 8% body fat.... he was as healthy as they get. > Being a muscle head means a lifetime of maintenance If by maintenance you mean eating healthy and being active, then yes. If you mean dedicating 40 hours a week to the gym them you are incorrect. > easy for someone in high school to agree to but adults > usually know there will be many breaks in the workout regimen. There doesn't have to be. The only time breaks are an issue is when your workout routine is not part of your daily schedule or weekly schedule. > By the way I'm down 15 pounds in three weeks on the South > Beach diet, I highly recommend it. That's the larger problem with our society... these bullshit diets. Diets are temporary. People need to think about changing their lives and the way they think about food in order to get healthy and fit for the long run and get off the quick fix diet stuff. South Beach, Atkins, BFL, Jenny Craig, etc... all BS. Get outside and get active. Eat sensible. Burn more calories than you take in. That alone will alleviate most problems people have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:159658 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
