No more Rockstar for me....

[P]

Capt Carl said he has noticed my "gut" lately... I dont know if that makes him gay or me gay for giving a **** but anyway. On my quest for lower calories the Rockstar's are an easy thing to cut off , plus its more money for buggy parts because them shits are 'spensive.


Here ya go..

Can you guess what percentage of calories Americans consume that come from what they drink? Three percent? Ten? No, try twenty percent! Yes, that's right, one-fifth of the calories we take in come from liquids.
Here is a no-brainer way to begin to cut back on your caloric intake: Stop drinking sodas (even diet), juices, mega-sized "health" smoothies with 120 grams of sugar in them, whipped coffee drinks, iced tea loaded with corn syrup, and all those sport and vitamin drinks that are actually filled with sugar and calories.

What's the magic word? Water. Okay, if you love a cup of java in the morning, then get it. Try to avoid all the extras with it, and if you're looking for a pick-me-up in the middle of the day, have an unsweetened green tea instead of a soda or energy drink.

Otherwise, try your best to stick with the water, and if it gets too boring, add a splash of cranberry juice or a slice of lemon to mix it up. Getting enough water can help us in our quest for better health in so many ways:

Flush out toxins
Reduce your risk of heart attack
Help with joint and muscle pain
Boost your metabolic rate
Improve organ function
Keep you regular
Prevent headaches
Promote healthy skin
Regulate body temperature
Get energized and improve alertness
Wow, you can kill two birds with one stone: Cut out unwanted calories and do something good for yourself in the meantime. I don't know about you, but if I'm going to have a bunch of sugar or calories I want it to be something I have to chew -- preferably chocolate. Waste it on some drink? No way.

Amber steal your login information?

I am up to 180 and have a healthy midsection. I am sitting in my pubical with the top button on my Lucky's undone.

I drink WAY too much coffee, soda and of course beer. The latter of which will never get omitted. Soda is my downfall. Water is never drank enough. Also I need to do some sort of physical activity from time to time. I am not getting laid, so that's out of the health program and I can never count on that anyway.

So if I can curb the soda and do some exersize I might shave enough of my belly to fit into the jeans I like and feel a bit better and not so damn sluggish.

Ive gained 8lbs since early summer, I would say most all of it is from my new rockstar habit . That stuff is like 300cal's per can and the stuff in it spikes your metabolism only while "on it" so once off your metabolism actually slows more so. Least thats how I interpret what Ive read.


I like beer alot

Well P, I have drank ice tea the last two days and switched to Green Tea today. not bad at all. I brew it in my coffee pot and pour over a pitcher of ice, and bring in a 32oz mug of it into work every day.

Still have a coffee in the morning and pop at lunch usually.

Other than peeing a LOT more i am sad to report no changes. I'll give it a few weeks before giving up though.

Well at least I listened.

I am trying to reduce my gut without sacrificing beer. No way no how son

 

[blacksheep10]

yeah paul, you need to stay chunky somehow. if you cut out beer AND rockstar you'd be so thin you'd fall through your own butthole and strangle yourself

 

[Ambo]

P is NOT CHUNKY...

Can't believe you guys think my man is "chunky"

He is just right! ;D

 

[P]

185 is chunky ?

 

[Bones]

Hell I am up to 185 and it's alllllll belly baby.

 

[BamaTJ]

Good job postinga thread about a subject and then doing the exact opposite

 

[Bones]

Would we expect any less Matt? dunno

 

[BamaTJ]

Yeah not really, that is the norm.

 

[Wanker]

Hell I am up to 185 and it's alllllll belly baby.

[Bones]

I'd grab a sock and I bet you loose quite a bit of weight that way.
