About Me
I live in L.A. I work, I like birds and I have a book review website. I'm trying to stop my weight from going up and down throughout the year with a steadier diet and exercise plan. Going to need some luck, here.

Envirotodd replied to the topic Is a points-based diet sustainable? in the forum Weight Loss Programs 5 days, 12 hours ago
I don’t like points based diets. They are not the most sustainable in my mind. The reason is that the points are only in the diet itself. Diets that count carbs, calories, fats, etc let you see the numbers right on your food labels. With points, you need to memorize a whole other system. Understanding your nutrition label and keeping a tally…[Read more]

Envirotodd replied to the topic Will I run faster with an energy pill? in the forum Health & Fitness Reviews 1 week, 6 days ago
You probably will. Even if your top speed doesn’t get higher, you’ll probably run faster overall if you ahve more energy. Like when you’d usually slow down, you might hang in there longer and keep up a faster pace overall.

Envirotodd replied to the topic How many laps is the same as a good walk in the forum Swimming Forum 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Just keep going until you feel the same way from swimming as you would from walking. If you have a waterproof fitness tracker, you can pay attention to your heart rate, calorie burning, etc. Just keep going until your results look similar. It’d be different for everyone, but that’ll help you get to know how the two workouts compare for you.

No problem. Glad to help out a bit. It really can throw you off when your pills all seem like they’re a clump. Easy to think something’s wrong.

Envirotodd replied to the topic Jamieson vitamin D3 softgels review in the forum Health & Fitness Reviews 1 month, 1 week ago
I think they’re fine. As long as a swift whack of the bottle loosens them all, it’s fine. The gel casing for those pills is a little on the sticky side. It’s just how that texture is. When they sit for a day and settle, they’ll naturally stick together a bit just because of their texture and gravity. If they all break loose, it means they…[Read more]

No real guided program. It’s about transitioning over to totally different eating habits. Good choice of a diet! It really is the healthiest one.

Envirotodd replied to the topic How do you know what's behind bloating? in the forum Health Forums 2 months ago
Feeling better? I think from food it’s usually no longer than a day (unless you keep eating the source of the problem). Something else might drag it out longer. Not a hard and fast rule, but that tip helps me to track things down.

Get whichever one you find most comfortable to ride, but a city bike should be fine on pavement. Get one with enough gears.

Thanks for all the tips. I should have updated here earlier. Yes, feeling better. I used a lot of the tips shared here and i know they helped. The water was a big one and very simple. I should have tried that sooner. The other tips were good too.

Envirotodd started the topic protein powder doesn't help my gym workout in the forum Supplements Reviews 2 months, 4 weeks ago
I’ve been trying to do things like add protein powder to my smoothies and to yogurt to help me to keep up protein to improve my workout results. It’s not doing anything. It’s been a month and nothing is different except that my smoothies and yogurt don’t taste as good and I have gas more often. I think regular food is probably good enough and u…[Read more]

Anything that will promote power in your legs is good…you’re going to be doing a lot of squats!

Envirotodd replied to the topic I need to lose as much weight as I can in 1 month in the forum Weight Loss Forums 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Time to start making a lot of salads. They’ll comprise half of each of your meals from now on. Make them full of veggies and very light on the dressing. No cheese or taco chips or anything like that on them. Eat that part first before the rest of your meal. It’ll help you to cut back on the part of your meal that is high in calories

Not too proud to ask this, but how do you stop from being constipated or having really hard poops without having to get fiber supplements or stool softeners?

Envirotodd replied to the topic Trimthin with the gym in the forum Supplements Reviews 4 months, 1 week ago
That’s great! Energy is the main challenge in a workout. I don’t go to the gym anymore, but in any workout, it’s always the battle to get the most done before fatigue sets in. Good thing you found what works for you.

Envirotodd started the topic Do any exercises actually burn fat? in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 4 months, 2 weeks ago
There are a lot of fat burning exercises out there but then I also read that there’s no such thing as targeted weight loss through workouts. Is there any way for me to work specifically on my middle by using exercises?

Envirotodd replied to the topic It's easier to get motivated to exercise in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 5 months, 1 week ago
You don’t have to go too extreme with food. Just pay attention and make gradual changes. Keep up the exercise. It really will make a difference.

Envirotodd started the topic If I exercise a lot, can I skip calorie counting? in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 5 months, 2 weeks ago
If I go for a run every morning, a half hour walk (brisk) every afternoon, and do another workout later in the afternoon/early evening like 15 minutes of another cardio workout or some strength training, do I really need to keep counting calories provided I’m paying attention to what I eat and am careful overall?

Envirotodd replied to the topic Running to burn more calories in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 6 months ago
I completely agree. You can lose weight if you just change your diet, but it’ll go a lot faster and easier if you add exercise to the mix. Good for you for running in the morning. careful going every day that you don’t injure yourself. Maybe start at 3-4 days a week and do something else the other days? If you find you’re fine, you can build up to…[Read more]
