Dolce Diet is just marketing for some guy who knows about nutrition. Seems good at both.

this is the logic of a 9 year old girl that just read about calories on the back of her cereals

limiting your intake of tasty food is stupid because life is about fun and not balancing it with healthy food is terrible for your life and will stop you from enjoying life by getting sick from bad health.

Then again im just a stupid 8% BF guy. I probably have no idea how to stay thin or healthy.

eat your fruits people.

Pretty much in agreeance with these fellas, I just need to focus on taking small steps in the right direction each couple weeks by adding something else 'good' to the mix.

Essentially right now I'm trying to eat mostly healthy whenever I'm home and allowing myself 'cheat' meals when I'm out. But for example Monday when I went out to watch the NCAAF Nat'l Championship game with Patman, Jono and one of their friends, I had wings (sauce on the side and very little because of my stomach) and 1 grande Tecate light, which is equivalent to nearly 2 pints. And when I met up with Ruse at Applebees, I had the California Turkey Club instead of my normal Appetizer Sampler or something equally as bad. So yea, still allowing myself to enjoy food, just trying to reign it in a bit, both for weightloss reasons and my stomach which is still definitely quite weak.

Having Ruse back will be nice though, he makes both healthy plus super tasty food!

Whoops had more to say but the cage has popped so better focus!

Thx u2 broski!

!

Thanks, gl us!

Whooops didn't get this done in time, $5k cage is about 15 mins in right now, on WPN. Essentially a timed cash game, 4 80 minute levels, $5000+100 bi, 5k chips to start, at the end of the tournament, whatever your stack is, you get in $s.

Haven't put in much sng volume past couple days as I've been studying + doing some other stuff, hoping to get on it this weekend!

that cage thing sounds interesting I'd like to rail

If you download True Poker, it takes about 2 mins to make an acct/no need to verify anything. Then the cage will be right in the tournament lobby and my sn is the same as on PS, slayerv1fan

Did well in the cage (dance), $5k bi, cash out a shade over $8.2k




Most notable hand of the 'tournament' (more like super reduced rake cash game), beat villain into the pot otr as hes not checking back anything that beats me otf other than sometimes T9s or 98s (if he even 3b's those)

Think you just have to click the blue link to make the replayer work

Anyway am off to bed, super tired! Probs not much volume tomorrow but gonna hit it hard starting friday, gla

Nice work, go Jdawg!

You guys can save the diet advice, I will be cooking and serving whatever I damn please.

If you start getting serious about exercise and diet then check out the anabolic diet pdf. It a high protein/fat diet with no carbs during the week then carb loading at the weekends. It is the best diet for someone who is always hungry like me because it fills you up during the week and then you eat want you want at the weekends. Its worth a read plus it turns you into a beast at the gym on the carb loading days.

let's just propose an untested diet thats hard on the system to someone who has tons of health issues.

Be healthy and you'll be a beast everyday.

its not untested but yeah I don't think any extreme diets will be good for jdawg in the long or even short term

wug rake on that cage thing

$100 rake

Yea agree with the posters above, I'm not going to be doing anything like that anyway. I just need to start getting somewhere near healthy, taking small steps in the right direction at once, cutting more bad habits while adding in more good, etc. When lifting, I'm not going to be going heavy(esp considering I haven't done much lifting since having surgery to repair my torn labrum after senior yr in HS and I have a partially torn rotator cuff in my left shoulder), not trying to get jacked or anywhere near that .

Also in terms of diet, have to build that slightly around my grind schedule. Essentially Friday-Sunday I'm going to be going nuts with volume, esp Sat/Sun, so like for this weekend Ruse prepared a few salads, some fruit, a pot roast + potatoes + veggies and maybe a couple other things for the weekend grind; other than that, will also throw in some power bars/trail mix type stuff....all super easy, already prepared stuff so I don't have to 'waste' time.

Anyway yea, sitting on about 24.5k vpps going into the weekend, am going to be sweating NFL hard on Sunday so will only play through the Sunday Mil/right after, but am still hoping to put up at least 10k VPPs the next 2 days. Monday I plan to make my day off except during COOPs, so will be grocery shopping/running other errands at some point that day with Ruse. Monday morning at 7am my time I'll be recording the January edition of the Midstakes Living podcast on TournamentPokerEdge, hoping it'll be a fun podcast and will post when it's made public!

Finally, freerolls for next week. To qualify, you need to post a threadsaver (if topless/nude photo please put it in a spoiler). Handing out 3 $50 freerolls for each of the 2 goals this week, plz post which you want, first come, first serve. These freerolls will run from Monday-Sunday

-Gym 4 days/less than 4 beers and 2 other drinks other than water/green tea/gatorade related products (very little of the last, just for Fri-Sun midday-afternoon on my long grind days)
-35+ hours of poker or 25k+ vpps

Gla this weekend, thinking of watching American Sniper after the Warriors/OKC game is over, but might just head right to bed as well, not quite sure yet

I have tons of problem with my rotator and since i started doing stronglifts 5x5 i have not had any kind of pain or soreness anywhere on my body. Read about it. It takes a lot less time than most workout and theres no dangerous isolation moves. You would probably benefit more from that kind of workout than others. Best part is that it only takes 90-110mins out of your whole week

why would you do stronglift 5x5 when you can just do starting strength 3x5, its not much different but it seems like I would rather do the original program then a rip off by a sleezy internet marketer

holy **** you guys are arguing about the small stuff. Trying to get him bogged down in specifics is totally the wrong idea.

Jdawg here's a video that will resonate with you. Embeding so you actually watch it

if you're trying to start with basic stuff i'd recommend removing all calories from your beverages. that means switching to coke zero, gatorade zero (no regular gatorades), fewer beers. and bottled water, obv.

i don't know if you're the kind of person that would be interested in nerding out on calorie math, but you would be surprised how much of a calorie surplus can come from something like that. i used to be addicted to regular soda and finding a diet soda i could tolerate (pepsi max at the time) plus adding in some fitness shaved off my excess weight surpisingly fast. a can of coke is like ~180 calories i think, so if you're pounding the equivalent of 5 of those a day via beer/gatorade/cokes whatever then cutting that out is freaking ez mode in losing weight.

as far as diet goes i would say i've been satisfied with the zone diet, it's very easy to follow (dedicate x grams carbs, y grams protein, z grams fat for every meal) and you could manage it in mexico on the mtt grind.

i think those two things are very easy ways to at least get started on something easy nutrition wise, and after a year of that you can re-evaluate. i'll leave the fitness aspect to those with more experience than myself.

man that's some weird advices, if you want to remove calories from your beverages, just drink water and nothing else, jesus coke zero etc. so unhealthy

More unhealthy than being fat as ****? Drinking Coke Zero as a "treat", daily, is not nearly as bad as you're making it sound. I'd much rather focus on getting rid of the excess weight instead of focusing on minor stuff like sweeteners etc. I drink Coke Zero on almost every " boring" meal I have (rice, meat, salad usually).

Also lol @ the fruit after a bowl of chips. Nut worst advice to add in sugar after eating bad fats.

Edit: oh forgot, GL jdawg, been following all your pgc's! One of the most interesting for sure.

i don't disagree, it's not like i can defend diet soda, but i've been in a position where i had to switch and going cold turkey to only water was tilting. i'm just saying that if you're going to get a gatorade, get the gatorade that has 10 calories instead of 150. very easy leak to plug.

really seems like the main thing is the beer, i realize that beer is awesome but those things are calorietown

Seems apt

why is everything you post diarrhea with the intent of making yourself look better than everyone?

Choosing the right workout is the most important part for someone with injuries.

You send him doing a bro split with a bunch of isolation and he'll **** up his injuries a good % of the time.
