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 started the topic saltwater swimming pool in the forum Swimming Forum 2 days, 3 hours ago
I’m going to be staying at a hotel with a saltwater swimming pool. Out of curiosity, are there benefits to swimming in there instead of in the normal kind with chlorine? Also, is it clean to be in salt water but no chlorine, or are those pools chlorinated, too?

Envirotodd replied to the topic Is slowly walking 20,000 steps as good as moderately walking 10,000? in the forum Activity Forums 1 week, 6 days ago
I was going to have a different answer but when I read what Penny4thoughts said, I have to agree with that. Doing tons is probably better than doing little but you still need to get your heart rate up.

Envirotodd replied to the topic Weight not coming off where I need it in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Yeah, you can’t control where weight comes off. Learned that the hard way (over and over and over). It’s a matter of keeping it up. I find it makes me feel better to work the areas I want to tone the most. It contributes to overall fat burning, not the specific part I’m toning, but in my mind I’m making a difference, plus it’ll look better whe…[Read more]

Just check the return policy for the place before you buy. A lot of good clothing stores offer free shipping for returns if things don’t fit.

Envirotodd started the topic GABA supplements in the forum Supplements Reviews 1 month ago
Anyone know anything about GABA supplements for better rest and calm so you can lose weight better by reducing stress and fatigue? I’ve heard people (including a neighbor) raving about them, but I’ve seen conflicting information online. Are they safe? Have you tried them? How much did you take? Did you get side effects? did you talk to a doctor first?

Cool, thanks guys. I’ll still look into this but I was figuring it was something like that. Everything comes with benefits and drawbacks I guess.

Envirotodd replied to the topic anyone try a Gaia membership in the forum Gear Reviews 1 month, 3 weeks ago
If you plan to really do yoga a lot, like most days of the week, you might really like it. That way, you can repeat workouts or pick fresh ones so you’re not always doing the same old thing. it also has more than videos so you can get more out of it than that. If you just do it a handful of times per month, you may not get a much out of it.

Envirotodd started the topic caffeine healthy or not in the forum Health Forums 1 month, 4 weeks ago
I’m trying to figure out if it’s healthier to drink caffeinated coffee or decaf. I was thinking stimulants are bad because they increase blood pressure and heart rate. But then I read that it’s proving great for weight loss. Is it healthier to lose weight even if it means you increase your blood pressure? Or is the increase really not too bad?

I make homemade granola bars. That way, I can choose my own ingredients and skip the chocolate if I want. It’s basically the same thing as Penny4Thoughts idea only pressed into a bar instead of loose.

Thanks KittyKatt. I hope they’re good for running, too. You’re the first person I’ve talked to who has tried them. At least I know they’re comfortable.

Envirotodd started the topic barefoot running? in the forum Running Forum 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I’ve been looking at running shoes with five individual toes. Not going to name the brand so I’m not labeled as spam. They’re supposed to make it feel like you’re running in bare feet. Is that something I want? Is running barefoot better for you than running with cushioning and stability?

Rhubarb seems to be in season because it’s at my supermarket. I’d like to cook with it for the first time. What will it do for my health (assuming I don’t just add sugar to it).

Envirotodd replied to the topic Is low-carb dead? in the forum Weight Loss Programs 3 months, 1 week ago
Low carb is still going. It’s just not what it used to be. It’s lowER carb, not just trying to eat as few carbs as possible. It’s been understood that carbs are foods with a lot of nutrition, and we need some of them. So while the average American diet has far too many carbs when compared to protein and healthy fat calories, cutting down on t…[Read more]

Envirotodd started the topic Get good information before buying athletic shoes in the forum Health & Fitness Reviews 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Just wanted to put this out there. I’ve been shopping for good athletic shoes. I need ones with stability at the moment. I spent a good part of the weekend shopping around, and I’ve learned that there is a huge difference between what sales reps will say and what the truth actually is. For instance, I went into one store and said that I had o…[Read more]

Envirotodd replied to the topic running out of drive in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 3 months, 3 weeks ago
That may not sound like a big difference but I bet you’re noticing it. It makes your body work harder so you are actually getting more out of each step. I wouldn’t say that it’s the same as strength training but it’s definitely better than regular walking. Nice job 🙂

Really? That’s so cool. I should look into those. My eyes aren’t too bad, but I wouldn’t mind being able to see better while swimming.

Try mixing up your strength training so it’s not the same boring workout you’re dreading. If you don’t want to do the thing you would normally do, think about trying a new video or something like that. The novelty might keep things fresh enough that you won’t avoid it on your low motivation days.

Envirotodd replied to the topic Plant Paradox in the forum Weight Loss Programs 4 months, 4 weeks ago
I say that she’ll likely not keep it up over the long term, but for what she actually is eating, she’ll probably do fine. Her main struggle will be when she gives up on it, because she’ll need to realistically keep lost weight off. I think it’s a fad, overkill diet.

Envirotodd replied to the topic Running on Sidewalk in the forum Running Forum 5 months ago
I think if you’re going to run on a surface like that, it’s just a matter of choosing the right shoes and knowing what you’re doing. Make sure you’re running with the right kind of stride (you may not be doing that. You’d be surprised). Keep your feet in shoes with very good cushioning, good stability and that stay fresh. If your shoes start ge…[Read more]
