sure, everyone needs the splurge day.

The key is to make sure and set the ground rules for it to make sure it doesn't lead to other stuff.

example: Personal Rule #1 i will only drink beer on Sunday and i will only eat (insert food here) while drinking beer.

in other word don't start drinking beer and then eating everything in sight. Try to pick some food that you can eat alot of but isn't that bad for you like Popcorn.

Personal Rule #1 i will only drink beer on Sunday and i will only eat Popcorn while drinking beer.

no beer and pizza, no beer and bratz and hotdogs and ... well you get the idea.

About the worst thing you can do is combine Hearty food with sweet garbage food.

sweets spikes your blood sugar levels and tricks your body into thinking that you are exerting yourself, so it hoards calories. Then after the sugar breaks down in your system you get cravings that feel like hunger so you will want to eat again no matter how much you've already had to eat.

SUGAR IS TEH DEBBIL ... get rid of it from your diet and you will naturally adjust back your body's proper weight. Sugar is what screws everything up.

Maybe you shouldn't be tailgating if you can't resist the temptation.

If you want to eat something, just don't eat as much.

That's what I do, I know there are some things I will never be able to never eat so I still have them I just don't eat as much. Portion control is every bit as important as what you're eating.

I believe in you, luv. Don't ****ing let me down.

Mecca · 11-07-2009, 07:01 PM

Well I don't drink beer so I atleast have that.

You do know that your body breaks down every food as either a fat a protein or a sugar right...which basically means you're putting sugar in your body no matter what.

You lost me on that last part. Eating carbs/sugars when you don't immediately burn them causes them to be stored as fat. That's what insulin does.

That doesn't mean sugar no matter what. There are plenty of foods that don't cause your body to react as though you are eating sugar.

Mecca · 11-07-2009, 07:49 PM

Most carbs break down as sugar...unless you dig those vegetables that taste like cardboard.

Yes... what does that have to do with protein and fat? You lost me there.

And worded like that, I didn't understand what he was trying to say. He clarified.

muh bad ... i'm only seeing half the conversation.

Mr. Laz · 11-07-2009, 07:54 PM

simple carbs vs complex carbs

simple carbs break down really fast and freak your body out and make you feel hungry even if your not.

complex carbs break down more slowly and don't lead to the up and down blood sugar levels.

Dessert should be a four letter word because the concept is about the worst thing you can do ... follow a full meal with some cheap sugar. Bad Santa!!!

in an hour you will feel "hungry" and stuffed at the same time.

Mecca · 11-07-2009, 07:56 PM

Basically what I'm going to tell you is portions and moderation are keys. The idea that you will never eat or drink somethings ever again are far fetched.

If anyone can honestly say they'll never eat pizza or have a soda the rest of their life, that's nice me saying that is a lie and I know that. If you really like things it's best to try to figure out a way to work them into your diet.
