Hey Johnniboy, sorry for being defensive. I was an
hole.
I know were're talking about thermodynamics here (sorry, Gibbs, you busted my n*ts enough during P Chem 1), but my calorie deficiet was too extreme for my metabolism at first. I used, before starting the AD, Maxzine (a diuretic) and I'm extremley active. I sprint up hill, spin like a son-ov-a'
and bike ride all on an empty stomach at the crack of dawn. Hey, not all three activites on the same day, I choose one depending on the mood I'm in. When bored, I'll grab my bike and ride to Key Biscayne, Miami from where I live. I live in the Waterway Neighborhood, Miami, just west of Coral Gables. So we are talking maybe 15-20 miles at ~12-13 mph. I take alley ways and go pretty much scenic. I know it seems extreme, because a 20 lb fat loss equates to 21,000 calorie burn weekly.
But that's the numbers I get. I think that my initail measurments were wrong, I was probably lower in body fat% than I recorded. But I have lost a tremendous amount of weight and my muscles are responding favorably.
I got pictures to post of before and after, but I ain't posting them until I reach my goal or die trying to do so LOL. Jeez, I need a suntan (yup, even here in Miami) and probably will shave my body hair. The first time I shaved off my body hair (not totally, mind you! I leave hair in two areas, my head and them other places, cheez, before you think I'm "man"enough to do the Brazilian wax thing or whatever. I think a root canal sans Novacaine would be more pleasurable...but that's another story) it freaked me out. It brought me back to when I was a kid because I saw a hairless man stomach.
My apologies, Johnniboy. Enthusiasm just took hold of my logic there, for a bit.
