Here's a book on nutrition and health I think every single person should read : Foods That Fight Cancer by Beliveau and Gingras. It's an amazing book that tells of the different ways that 11 food families can block tumors from growing.
Because we all have cancers starting in our bodies every day, and because each of these foods prevent tumor cell growth in different ways, it is so essential to eat all these foods (and eat them correctly!). The book became such a best-seller that the scientists teamed up with some chefs to produce a cookbook, which is great.

I thought this book was so incredible that I wrote an article about it :



I definitely made some changes in my diet.

When you start lifing you will probably gain size while losing bodyfat but only to a certain point. I found best way to start is gradually cycle out starchy carbs, sugars and junk foods and try to eat 5-6 times a day aiming for 40g protein, 50g carbs and 10g fat per meal. It works for me and when i stop losing fat i just lower carbs a little. Its only a guideline but try it. Eat unprocessed meat and fish (chicken, turkey, tuna, mackerel, prawns, lean steak etc), wholegrain carbs (brown bread, sweet potatos, brown rice and brown pasta etc) and fibrous veg like brocolli and green beans and seeds and nuts. I sometimes add a little sauce as long as is doesnt have too much sugar and additives and supplement with a good multivitamin and protein powder if nescessary.

I am a 1351bs, 35yr old women. I work out 3-4x/wk. I don't like to do much cardio because I get too skinny so I work out at a gym that does circuit training with weights. I eat 3-4/day, which normally consist of Special K cereal and a yogurt for breakfast, tuna wrap with a slice of cheddar cheese, hard boiled egg, and a Activa yogurt for lunch, for supper is whatever I make my family, and I make sure to have 8-10 glasses of water a day. I don't drink pop or coffee. I drink alcohol almost every weekend with our friends. I had a tummy tuck about 5yrs ago after having two children, the doctor said I didn't have any fat, that all he removed was excess skin. I am happy with my weight but I am not happy that I can't get any definition in my arms or abs. I can feel them but can't see them... I hate that when I sit down when wearing a bikini that a roll of fat or skin??? hangs over and my inner thighs become huge. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Do I need to cut alcohol out completely or do I need to change my diet?

even when thighs are muscular they will spread when you sit down, so that's not a good gauge.

regarding the belly, if there is extra flub then you could use more cardio.

it doesn't sound like you're getting enough food for any significant muscle building and additional muscle mass sounds like what you want.

I think alcohol in moderation is okay but not if those calories cut into the more nutrient dense calories. it really is about garbage in / garbage out.

maybe mixing up your workout and adding compound exercises might help kick start extra muscle building.

what you probably need to do is take a full week to count calories and figure out how you are fueling yourself. then look at your workouts and see if you can up the intensity depending on how well your nourishing yourself and allowing yourself to rest and recover.

There are some good articles on this site you should peruse a few for more details.

We should not forget that aside from proper diet, exercise is also a must to remain healthy and fit. Exercise fitness is vital to a long and healthy life. Proper diet and exercise are essential to staying healthy and active for the long run. Exercise promotes a healthy weight, muscle and bone health, a strong cardiovascular system, and it helps keep your mind active.
