Alright fam, we can't have an entire thread dedicated to food and not have a complimentary thread for maintaining good health and staying in shape. So let's talk about gym routines, exercise routines, health products, smart dieting(got food allergies?) and the likes.
I'll start. I just got back into the gym again since March. After moving back to Harrisonburg I got carried away and did all the eating and beer drinking but none of the moving. I'm about to start a weight lifting routine again next week. The last three weeks has been 1 of hour cardio almost everyday.
The lifting routine I plan to follow is a full body workout I found on Reddit. Biceps, triceps, traps (any motion, with a mixup every 2 weeks), bench press, deadlift, squats, with 10 mins of cardio to warm-up and 10 mins cardio to end. I'm probably going to alternate cardio and lifting days. My goal is an attempt at just recompositioning myself. I am more concerned with fatloss than muscle build up though. I'd like to be 160-170 of muscle. Eventually the routine will change but I don't know when or to what. I also have no interest in brotein or any of that jazz quite yet either.
Food: I'm aiming for 2000 calories a day and generally nothing fried, nothing super fatty, not a fuck ton of carbs and no lactose products anymore (I'm lactose intolerant). It's not a super strict diet, my biggest concerns are portion size, the quality of the food and the frequency of eating.
As for being lactose intolerant it took me a hot minute to avoid cheese, the biggest culprit for me. I already don't like cow's milk and ice cream isn't a temptation but man let me tell you, you don't realize how much cheese you consume until you start to try and avoid it. I'm also going to have to start paying attention to gravy's/sauces. Any kind of chowder is also out of the question now. I just had biscuits and gravy this morning with breakfast, didn't think it had milk in it and I heard my friend comment "oh yeah I just added some extra milk that really brought it together"....yah...my body is telling me I definitely had lactose today lol. Almond milk is my everything now. It's so good. I can crush an entire bottle in a day.
Anyway, I'm gladly taking tips, but enough about me what are you guys doing??
