Anyone familiar with "Body for Life"

I was corresponding with a fellow who had started the Body for Life program
about a year ago. This middle-age guy went from a size 40" to a size 32" in
just over a year. I've managed to drop three inches in the same period of
time, but have stalled big time. I'm wondering if anyone else here is
familiar with the program and can provide some additional input.

Thanks!

If you decide to follow the Body For Life program do yourself a favor
a nd buy the cookbook. It has loads of great recipes.
I do the low carb thing and i find the cookbook to be invaluable.By
the way, I don't have any financial interest in the book or the
program just really, really liked the book.

Stalling? Try the Atkins "Fat Fast"

I did body for life for about 3 months. I was successful at it until I got
tired of preparing 5-6 meals a day and working out. If you can be hard on
yourself and you love to work out then it will probably work for you.
Meals
consist of a portion of carbs and a portion of protein 5-6 times per
day.Workouts consist of 3 days a week cardio for 20-30 minutes and
weightlifting 3 other days for 45 minutes. Sunday is a free day where you
can eat anything you want and no exercise. There are food restrictions.

Without the book, I hope that helps.

What I don't understand is my brother, who does Body For Life tells me the
white potato is a perfect food and o, the wonders of the potato. On the
other hand - i think the white potato is an evil little spud to be avoided.
What's the deal??

he exercises a lot. he uses the carbs for fuel. potatoes are decent
fuel. that's the difference.

Actually, your brother is right. Studies have shows that potatoes are so
full of nutrients that you could live for an awfully long time eating
nothing but. It's only evil if you eat anything else ... sort of like guns
being evil only if they have bullets. ;-)



That's funny cause can't you make a battery out of a potato too? I think
there may be something to it - maybe if i eat nothing but potato then I can
be my own power source too

Heh, heh. You're right about the battery bit. A few years back, some clever
fellow created a potato-powered web server. Check out http://d116.com/spud/
