Is pasta as unhealthy as pure sugar, though? What if you ingest a lot
of pasta, but burn it off by being active? Does that negate your pasta intake? HS. Sarandipidy wrote: 00cwb.googlegroups.com I have the absolute WORST sweet tooth. I can pack in about ten 3" diametre cookies in one sitting. I can also pack them in with cake, etc. Food I love, but not as much as I love sweets and dessert. i'm that way with pasta. all i need is some olive oil or light spread or something and a tbsp or two of parmesan cheese and i could eat a ton of it. i love it even plain, without anything on it, whether whole wheat, spelt, or durum semolina. sara hello teacher tell me what's my lesson, look right through me, look right through me. |

The first link I found that addressed this (http://tinyurl.com/59982), says: "BARBELL DECLINE PRESS (lower pecs) description snipped. Because the range of motion is lessened, many guys find they can do more weight on decline presses than on flat or incline presses once they become accustomed to the movement." This matches my experience. Actually, I could do more even the first time I tried it, which was the first time I ever pressed 135 (barbell). Plus it makes sense and is consistent with the things my trainer has been teaching me about the bench. Maybe because it's still relatively new - just since Thanksgiving, the guys are still getting used to it. It's the getting accustomed to the movement that is taking me time. I haven't tested my max with DB press because I only use them as a warm up or on a day when I'm doing a lot of chest stuff. I did hit a new high on the barbell flat bench today (125). Excellent! That's pretty much my max nowadays too. (Back when I weighed 260, and before I injured my shoulder, my max was 185. Sigh... . And I did a 170 in competition when I'd gotten down to around 220. It seemed to me that I lost very little strength for the first 50 pounds or so of weight loss, but quite a bit more after that. But a 125 in my last competition (last April) was enough for a state record in the 165 lb. weight class for my age group, and I'm in a lighter class now. There isn't much competition amongst old ladies :-) .) I still have a long way to go. I'll probably be an old lady by the time I get there Jenn |

no, i think it's relatively healthy, especially if it's whole grain, but it's so easy to eat like 3 or 4 portions. sara hello teacher tell me what's my lesson, look right through me, look right through me. |

Pasta made with white flour isn't particularly nutritious -- probably a bit better than sugar but not tons. It doesn't make good sense to think about exercise as a way to burn off particular kinds of foods. All foods are sources of calories, and all exercise (as well as just existing) burns calories. You need to consume calories and you need to burn calories. You have a choice as to what kinds of calories you consume. Some are accompanied by more nutritional benefits than others; some are mostly just fun and tasty. Whichever you choose, if you eat more than you burn you will gain weight, and if you eat less you will lose. You can gain weight on a diet of lean meats and vegetables, and lose weight on a diet of pasta and sugar. Exercise doesn't "negate" anything you eat, whether healthy or otherwise. And it doesn't burn the unhealthy calories preferentially. Basically, to lose weight, you need to focus on eating less than you burn. Most people do this through a combination of reduced intake and increased exercise. To remain healthy, energetic, and feeling good, you should try to select nutritious foods at least most of the time. Chris 262/135/ (135-145) |
