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 running out of drive in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 2 hours, 7 minutes 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.

Good luck and enjoy your run.

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.

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]

Envirotodd replied to the topic What age makes weight loss harder? in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 2 months ago
Thanks. I had a feeling that was the case. I’m not really in the red zone yet, but it sucks that things are only going to get harder from here forward. I’m going to try to set the right habits now so I’ve got them while it’s easier. I’m afraid of getting stuck in an unhealthy body and not being able to get my way back out.

Envirotodd replied to the topic what do you wear to Tai Chi classes? in the forum Gear Reviews 2 months, 1 week ago
Unless you’re taking an advanced class, you can usually wear whatever you want to Tai Chi. It should be something that lets you move freely and that lets your chi, your natural life energy, move freely with your movements. Other than that, it’s not about fashion. If it seems like your outfit is getting in your way in your class, you will pr…[Read more]

I know they say that age makes it harder to lose weight but at what age does that really start to matter? Is it in your 20s? 30s? or do you have to be older for it to really make a difference?

I’m curious, too. I hope you update us, @anne

Envirotodd replied to the topic How many more calories can you eat from exercise? in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 3 months ago
Of course you can. Just make sure that you’re tracking your exercise accurately. Most gym equipment and many devices overestimate the calories you’re burning during exercise. No idea why that is. Either way, if you do want to use workout calorie burning to buy yourself more snacks during the day, just make sure you’re erring on the side of fe…[Read more]

If you’re not sure, ask a health professional. I don’t think the keto diet was developed for people with diabetes. I think it was created for kids with epilepsy. If you do it right it can keep your blood sugar really steady but just make sure it’s safe for you specifically to play with your blood sugar.

Envirotodd replied to the topic Mediterranean Diet in the forum Weight Loss Programs 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Exactly. That’s what I meant. It’s more of a way of living than a set program but lots of websites, books and even YouTube channels have focused on it and have created guides and recipes for people who are adopting it for the first time.

Envirotodd replied to the topic stationary bike or strider? in the forum Cycling Forum 3 months, 4 weeks ago
That’s just it, kittykatt. They’re very different, but that’s what the benefits of a strider are and why many people pick them instead of a stationary bike. Still, that doesn’t mean one is better than the other.

Envirotodd replied to the topic Mediterranean Diet in the forum Weight Loss Programs 4 months ago
I think it’s a style of eating but there are a lot of great books and websites that can allow you to use it as though it was a plan until you get the hang of it. There are a ton of resources out there so you shouldn’t have problems using it like a program if you want to.

Envirotodd replied to the topic stationary bike or strider? in the forum Cycling Forum 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I think they’re different types of equipment. THey each have their benefits. Plus, even if they were identical, there’s still a matter of personal preference.

Envirotodd replied to the topic vitamin c for immune system in the forum Supplements Reviews 4 months, 2 weeks ago
If your diet is low in vitamin C or is only just getting you enough, vitamin C supplements can be very helpful to your body. Yes, it’s handy for your immune system but it’s also an antioxidant, which is good for your entire body and all the cells in it.

Envirotodd replied to the topic winter (SAD?) makes me fat in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 5 months ago
use a bright light therapy box and supplement vitamin d to combat SAD. It will help you to better control your cravings. Then, do those things mentioned above to eat right. Combine all those things and you’ll do better. Oh, focus on sleep, too.

Envirotodd replied to the topic cutting sugar in the forum Health Forums 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Ideally, try to find unsweetened raisins. They’re rare but they’re out there. Look for ones that are just dried grapes, not ones that have any kind of sweetener like sugar. That’ll help you enjoy your breakfast without any added sugars at all.

Envirotodd started the topic running vs swimming vs cycling in the forum Activity Forums 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m not saying that we should only pick one kind of exercise, but if there was a world where we had to do only one: swimming, running or cycling, which one is the best one? I’m trying to figure it out and I can’t come up with the answer.
