Re: Weight Loss Tips: A Step-by-Step MindMap

mda1125 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:58:20 -0000

I used MindMap software and basically went thru a step by step process of what it would take for weight loss. The same plan could easily be used for weight gain. It covers everything from mental, nutritional, supplementation and training. One a single page you can get a really good overview of what it will take to achieve your goals. I'm really glad you liked it.

They went pretty fast. If I had copies, I'd keep on giving them out. It's well worth the read and you can grab the hardcopy at Amazon.com in the link in the post. If I ever do this again, I'll let people know in advance.

Bodybuilding in many regards, is not healthy. But YOUR perspective on this is much appreciated. I desperately hoped a female would post their personal point of view on this one. There's no right answer here just opinions which I'm gobbling up like a kid in a Powell's Candy store.

Oh.. well then I owe you James an apology for assuming the comment was directed at me. I apologize.

It was sent to me in a Word document by Derek Manuel, I did not get it from any other source. I don't know where else he submitted this. It was an interesting article and made a good guest post.

Complete waste of money in a dietary supplement form. The Acai Berry itself has many great qualities. Add it to food, etc. But buying products (juice made from, pills, etc) is tossing money down the drain.

Nothing visible or overtly noticeable. To be a REAL test, blood work before and after including pre and post testerone levels would be in order.

GNC for sure. Then it should make it online to the bigger retailers. I checked Netrition and it wasn't there.. yet. But I'm certain it will be very soon. If you buy from GNC. Check out their Gold Card Tuesdays for the real savings. At least that is what I'm told.

I've found myself using it a lot less. Too many changes and the learning curve to use a social site isn't worth it. A big long list of status updates with group stuff along the side with ads... crap. Personal preference I guess but I just found myself using it less and less. It's easy to send updates via Hellotxt.com and forget the rest of it. Import notes.. who needs to actually logon anymore?

I totally hate it. When I 1st saw it.. I felt it was a graphical version of Twitter. Utterly useless now. Glad it was free.

This is what the world has come to? Watching other people work in offices and attending meetings, etc? This isn't a new idea or a great idea. It's more of the same on a much bigger scale. The company has the right to do what it wants without a doubt but it's disappointing to see people jump on this as if it's such a great idea and innovation. It's not the type of innovation we need to move this country forward.

Beth - Always a pleasure! You mentioned this Viigo app. Interesting as I've been approached to write for a company that is using that to publish their content. I'm a big mobile user myself so I'll investigate this further. I've also made this site ( I think) very friendly to RSS and mobile readers.

Re: PPC Classroom For Free … Fascinating … Here’s My Take

mda1125 — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 13:31:29 -0000

It's like the Acai Berry health scams.. you get the 1st bottle free... but in the background agree to billing. So it's not really "free" per se. I find that type of marketing to be dishonest even though if you read it clearly, there's no hidden fees.

Furthermore.. if I paid for this and 2 years later it was totally free. I'd be pissed. Everybody is looking to gather new customers. Big biz to small biz. But what about your current customers?

You get the best deals when you sign up for a new internet service.. You get $50 Adwords credit for a new account. You get the free toaster for the new Bank account.

But if you are a 5 year customer? You get nothing.

I was told that you never ever give away your paid bread and butter product for free. I think that was good advice then and it's good advice now.

Mark,

If you can eat eggs and dairy... then 70% of the recipes would still work. If you can't eat beef, turkey, eggs or dairy.. then it's not really going to be worthwhile. You'd have to do so much modifications you'd be a chef. It could be done but it may not be a venture you'd want to invest a lot of time doing.

Really depends on your personal level of veganism.

Sure.. learning how to cook. But since then, the pressure to make meals and not just force myself to do them has vanished. I found something I can identify with that fits my "I dislike" cooking attitude. Certainly used to be unfishished business or unresolved issues. That was a gap. Nutrition is important but I can't live life with oatmeal, egg whites and chicken breasts! But I can't stand cooking nor difficult meals.

Carlos.. you nailed it. And once I found something to connect me with making food easy to cook and helped me thru the pains of learning how to do it simply, I feel... relieved.

Brian,

Great reply! You listed your thoughts and I didn't find it to be a ramble. I felt the article pointed out some other uses and reasons why people might take them beyond the obvious bodybuilding aspect.

I found the 14 year old who needed to be 170 lbs really fast for the 19 year old who "tried everything" to be sadder cases. The bodybuilder who's experienced with years under the belt is not even in the same boat as some 14 year old that is confused and immediately heads down the path without even being old enough to consider the ramifications.

When it comes to steroids... it's always pro sports or bodybuilders.

But there's many others who are taking or would take them for many other reasons than to get huge or be at the top of their game.

It's a different perspective. One I found interesting as I didn't think about it because it wasn't in my field of vision.

When I tried this.. config.trim_on_minimize. Restarted Firefox. Then I took a look at my Vista processes. The minimize didn't seem to have any effect. The RAM use for Firefox.exe stays the same.

Re: When is the best time to take creatine?

mda1125 — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 23:23:27 -0000

Myth: Muscle turns to fat.

Fact: It atrophys. Gets smaller if not used. But it doesn't become something else.

When you stop taking creatine, some people will lose that "extra" strength. Or feeling they can do a few more reps. Creatine supplies the muscles with ATP. Energy for more contractions and muscle firing to do more work.

When you stop, if you respond that is in the first place, you will just not have the extra ATP in surplus to be able to pump out a few more reps.

You don't lose anything per se because creatine itself does not build muscle. The more intense, harder workouts people claim they get from taking it may cause a stalemate or a less intense workout and maybe less muscle mass but stopping creatine will not cause a lose of anything. Except some extra water weight becuase of cell volumization.
