Here is a start, and strangely enough I got this from learning French culture: Don't eat a large dinner. They eat a larger lunch and a light dinner. Doing it this way prevents one from eating more than what your body "needs" to feed itself with before storing the rest as fat. If a "larger" meal is eaten earlier in the day, one will have the chance to "burn"
it off. If one also chooses to run a treadmill or ride a bike (whether in a gym or for travel) one could lose weight and also
stay in better shape that way. The Europeans do it and look at them...


My teacher said that Tina Turner doesn't eat anything after 6 pm,
and she's how old? and look at her.

What you don't want is a lot of food energy after you begin to shut-down to sleep...low calorie, low sugar and low carb is good for an after dinner snack.

That's a good idea, thanks for sharing that. I hate going to bed hungry and starving once I wake and MAYBE eating breakfast while I run out the door.


Here's a new question for all, when properly eating right and exercising, does one find that their mood is overall better? For me, one day I could be cool, next day in a shitty, grouchy mood, followed by a "i'm-tired-don't-give-a-shit" day. Does this reflect poor eating and lack of proper exercise routines?

when i eat better, my libido and *staying power* are improved. so, yeah, my overall mood is better

After you get your diet in order, like what's been mentioned here a million times; if you actually do start going to the gym regularly I'd suggest drinking green tea and possibly taking some Hydroxy cut. One of my buddies I work out with was a friggin tank, like over 200lbs. He wanted to tone up and started doing what I suggested above and he's lost a good 30lbs. That stuff works man, no lie but I'd recommend to make sure you're eating healthy and have a good workout routine before you start adding supplements and stuff.

He is 15.. I wouldn't suggest hydroxycut or any other type of fat burners.. We also don't even know how heavy he is..

Ohhhh...sorry I guess I missed when he said how old he was. Yeah no kid should be on supplements at 15. My bad.

^The whole "get-quick-results-fat burners"thing scares the shit out of me, especially with all the things companies put into products these days, (I won't even drink energy drinks!)
Are there "burners" that are 100% (give or take) natural and won't make your ding-a-ling fall off from cancer in 20 years?

There is no "natural" fat burner per se but regardless, supplements and the like always fall into the stereotype of being "bad" for you. A lot of people associate supplements with steroids etc and yet they'll go eat fast food or smoke which imo is a lot worse for you. I don't mean to sound like an asshole but just do a little research before you make an opinion on something.

If you're healthy, eat well and know what you're looking for, there's no reason imo to be scared of supplements. I don't use fat burners because I'm trying to gain weight. I do however take protein and vegetable supplements (among other things) simply because I can't afford to buy 6-8 servings of vegetables a day and 200grams of protein a day. Nothing replaces a good diet and exercise but there are things out there to help you along with it.

As for energy drinks, I usually stay away from them. Most of them are just loaded with sugar and caffeine with a little ginseng to make you think its not all bad. I have other products to give me a high if I ever need one like n.o.xplode or nanovapor but thats just my personal preference.
