Diet....

[Muslimwoman]

Diet is another matter, this should be designed to the individual. Rather than spend money on junk why not invest in a meeting with a private dietician. I think about £50 to £75 would do it but that would give you a real diet that works.

Alternatively do it online here:

How much does it cost to consult a Dietitian.

but check them out first- are they really qualified?

Wow awesome thanks Shall read the blog Your thoughts and time are appreciated... Six pack look? I've already got that look... I want bulk lol.... My shoulders and arms... Are what I want to change ;\ I have one of those 6 in one things at home in my attic... so I could use that simple.. Just the diet thing... Never, ever had a diet before. So struggling a little and taking in what people are saying then thinking of it later as if it were my idea

For arms and shoulders just grab the door frame and do pullups, you will look like a prize bullock in 3 months Pullups will also give you very pronounced back muscles.

Isn't it amazing that us couch potatoes know so much about diet and exercise I should be ashamed of myself.

See if the website for dieticians is any good and if not let me know and I will see what else I can dig out but please dont start taking supliments until you see what I can find.

Please stop, please, please, please. Just put it in the cupboard and if I dont find anything to help you then you still have it to fall back on. You never know the dietician may recommend it but until one does please dont take any more. Pretty please with cherries on.

Check this forum out 17th. You would have to be careful what advice you rely on and double check it but would offer support from people in the same boat as you.

Heh, interesting discussion - how's it going now, 17th?

I used to want to have a bigger muscle profile. Trouble is, I'm pretty athletic below my sternum - strong leg muscles, good six pack - but above the sternum, ie, pecs and arms, I just could never build anything up - it's all pure geek.

I eventually figured it was my natural body proportion and that it would take an extra energy to fight that I didn't have.

Nowadays, my main task is fighting a sedentary lifestyle, and I've found the biggest problem is eating too much food - it's amazing how much those snacks add up - so needs controlling.

I've also started on basic dumbells again, but I'm not doing it to build body mass, as much as to help tone otherwise unused muscles and provide an outlet for burning my calories.
