And you wetin you be? Keke?

agabaI23: And you wetin you be? Keke?

You just dey know nii? How you dey?

Romeo4real: @Ms Steph -



Try and understand that whilst weight gain is about calories in vs calories out, it really is not that simple.

1. A calorie is simply a unit of measurement. It is not anything physical
2. The human body does not "burn" calories for energy
3. Whilst a calorie of fat is equal to a calorie of carb or protein thermodynamically, in that they strictly produce the same amount of heat when burned, they are NOT equal in the way your body processes them.
4. Your body processes calories from different foods differently
5. The energy cost to metabolize fat, carbs (complex & simple) and protein is different
6. Calorie restriction slows metabolism
7. Fiber reduces calorie absorption
8. Quantity and Timing of eating affects calorie processing and insulin production

So, stop calorie counting. It is misleading and will only serve to confuse you more. No machine can realistically tell you how much calories have been "burnt" for any given exercise; it is simply making an assumption. Simply eat right, responsibly, regularly, and exercise consistently.

How did I miss this? Romeo well done, how you dey?

Where is my Agaby?
Mody how far na, cold dey catch you nii?
Yinkus well done.
Barbie, I wish...

HG mama,I'm ok oo,I know I've been AWOL,2 things happened.
1.My hussy employed me as site mgr for our project and its been taking my time,am far from the end but I now know I need this group cos;.
2.I checked my weight last week wednesday(curiosity cos "friends" remarked that I've gained some weight)and to my horror I got 83kg;I know I've been sloppy with my routine cos of angst and my issues with the rain and not flaring up my spondy and I've noticed a bit of tightness in some snug clothes.
To my horror and shame I got 83kg (a 5kg difference ), didn't bother to get a second opinion,I got back into the grind and took my weight maintaince 30mins cardio 2x a week to 45x mins 4x a week with intensity and made up with JM
Will check my weight today and come back with an update cos within 5 days I felt a difference.
I now know workout is a biggy for me and also realised that for weight maintainace you have to still be on the same level.

@Agaby,
I am fine oo,thx for asking.

@All the newbies,
Welcome,it isn't easy but keep at it,the reward is fantastic;I am vain so I love when people who haven't seen me in ages look it gives me JOY. You will fall at times but make sure you rise and don't forget the cause so you can make adjustments.its a marathon,we'll all get there.

@Ayinkuse,
Welldone.

All in all,I'm BACK!! Fully.

modath:
All in all,I'm BACK!! Fully.

Yaaaaayyy, welcome back dearie.

About the weight gain, its good because it did become a wake up call for you. If you ask me, I think maintenance is hardest part of weight loss. But I know its a walk over for ya and you will get it done, just do your thing.

Lol @ site manager, that is another wonderful place to get fitness minutes in, just look around there is something that will be worthwhile to handle.

Haaaa site manager!!! Welcome back oo. It is good to have You back oo. Please dont slide back oo

I was actually wondering o, I guessed as much sha. Ogbono is a pumpkin seed soup, in Yoruba we call it Apon. It is a low calorie stuff but the additions is what normally cause the problems for us

Bush Mango I thought that ogbono seed is gotten from that ugwu plant, there used to be a large fruit on it, I thought they get the ogbono from there o. Ha!

*Thanks for the correction dear, before I start mis-yearning around. I just Google it now *wondering where I saw ugwu seed sef*

Mody welldone there. Even If na 0.1 You lose, report am

It is also good to avoid anything white if you reaaly take your weight loss effort serious. This is because white Foods are less fibrous

rednaxx: It is also good to avoid anything white if you reaaly take your weight loss effort serious. This is because white Foods are less fibrous

Ok. What do U mean by white food. Can you expantiate? And they are less fibrous

@Everyone,
Howdy... Quick observation;from my few weeks of staying put at a construction site from dusk till dawn. All the labourers involved in heavy lifting all have crazy abs. I'm talking totally RIPPED. Six packs on show.
They eat like crazy as well.
