| Good luck NYD and PrinzII on your dieting.
I am actually dieting to gain weight!
Back in November after boot camp I was a thin and toned 115 pounds. The small amounts of food along with high physical activity made me go down to 115 from 140 in 3 months.
Now in February, I got weighed in at 165 pounds and stand at 5'6. In 3 1/2 months I managed to gain 50 pounds, a little fat I lost at boot camp but mainly lean muscle mass. Still maintain a 29 trouser size though.
I would eat 4 main meals a day and snack on things all the time. I would have a protein shake and protein bar the night after each workout. I would spend 2 hours at the gym during each workout session which is usually 3-4 times a week depending on my training program. Also 3 times a week I would run 4-5 miles with my class at a steady pace (9 minute miles.) So there is my cardio workout.
I know this thread is about losing weight but does anyone know how to slow my metabolism down so I can gain more muscle?
I spend so much money o0n food its not even a joke. I can sit down and have a large pizza with dominos with like 4 or 5 toppings and then be hungry 2-3 hours later.....
