I need to lose fat but want to gain muscle? > How long if at all, do I have to wait after I work out? From my own experience I find it better to eat a little something before working out (coffee, cottage cheese/toast or fruit for example)otherwise I sometimes get a wasted queasy feeling mid workout and feel like I am about to either hurl or passout. Really when you think of it, you havent eaten anything for eight hours (more or less) and may have used up any muscle glycogen while sleep repairing your body. So I dont believe the need not to eat for any fatburning potential which might be lost anyways if you dont get a good workout. After a workout I am usually not too hungry, but sometimes will drink a protein only drink (protein powder/water) or nibble on a high protein bar straight from the gym. There is a window of time right after working out with weights that your muscles could use use a protein boost. Otherwise after cardio, I eat on a regular schedule (if I ate before working out as mentioned, then about an hour after the gym fits in a regular meal). > Is everyone doing cardio every day or every other? I think this depends on individual needs and what they are aiming for. The basic BFL outline calls for 20min HIIT cardio every other day. IMHO, I think everyone whose main goal is fatloss, should include regular cardio(slower and or recreational type cardio) on a daily basis (30-45min) with the HIIT on alternating days. > How many hours between meals? If i eat every two and > half hours that makes my meals done at 6:30pm if I have > my first one done at 7:30. So make it every three hours. Mine usually looks somewhat like this: 6am, 9am, 12am, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm - but if for some reason I dont eat till 12:30 or am hungry at 8am, the world is not going to fall apart if I eat earlier or later! ;-) Follow a schedule thats right for you! Make it work for YOU! (not you working for it, if you get what I mean!) Mold it to your lifestyle and thats what makes it a longterm change when it fits your needs and not just another 'diet' that may work shortterm but not in the longterm. The easy part (really it is) is losing the weight, and the hardest part is keeping it off - diets DO work, but lifestyle changes keep it off! :-) joni ----------------------------------------------------- *Lift well, Eat less, Walk fast, Live long* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Good thoughts! [ ] To Eat or NOT to eat? That is the question... I have been told that MMS is more effective when taken on an empty stomach. However so many people tend to have a problem with nausea and diarrhea when they do. If nausea and diarrhea are a sign of die off, wouldn't it make sense that when you take it on an empty stomach and get sick, it's because it's more potent that way....and lots of stuff is dying off immediately? On the other hand, lots of people get sick taking stuff like hydrocodone on an empty stomach, and that is not killing anything off. So what is the truth? Is it better to take a lower dosage on an empty stomach that a higher one on a full stomach? Does food really interrupt the killing process?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 So does anyone know what is best regarding taking it on an empty stomach or full?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I used to take it on an empty stomach but when I hit the 4 month mark on MMS, all of a sudden my stomach couldn't handle it. So I stopped for a while, and now I only take it after a little bit of food like a few bites of a bananna or a few crackers with nut butter. Bad, good or indifferent, this is the only way that I can take it without feeling like I'm burning a hole in my stomach. No problems now and it's working out fine.LydiaOn Sep 19, 2008, at 5:11 PM, Holly Glenn wrote:So does anyone know what is best regarding taking it on an empty stomach or full?Holly Glenn "God, have mercy on me in the blindness in which I hope I am seeking You." - Merton> From: helen/zhebee <zhebee >> Subject: Re: [ ] To Eat or NOT to eat?> To: > Date: Sunday, September 14, 2008, 11:47 PM> Good thoughts!> > > > > > > [ ] To Eat or NOT to eat?> > > That is the question...> > > I have been told that MMS is more effective when taken on> an empty stomach.
