When I start dieting and reducing my
overall calorie intake, I get hungry. After a couple of weeks, I lose
the battle of will, and I end up eating and gaining it all back again.
What can I do to stop this?
................................................................................
 Michael Collins: The first thing I'd do is start a
food journal. This way
you know EXACTLY what you are eating and can pinpoint any challenges you
have on your diet.
The next thing I'd do is check the amount of calories
you've actually dropped from your diet. It's very possible that you've
simply dropped too many calories too soon.
Your body will let you know if you've dropped too soon
with hunger pangs, headaches and furious cravings for food and flavored
drinks. You may even crave strange things- I know a friend of mine who
dropped calories too far too soon and would crave chewing gum!
Your body is conditioned to your regular patterns of
eating. It's used to and expects a certain amount of food and calories.
If you make radical changes all at once, your body will scramble to
readjust to your new level of food intake. Unfortunately, this
scrambling is
usually uncomfortable.
The other thing I'd check on is the actual composition of
the food your taking in. Check your carbohydrate, fat and protein
levels.
Protein and fat will satiate you way longer that carbs
will. Taking in too much of the wrong type of carbs will also cause an
insulin drop an hour later, which can contribute to your hunger.
Scan your food journal and
eliminate any starchy carbs and replace them with solid protein
sources,
fibrous vegetables and quality fats such as walnuts, flax and fish
oil. They will not only help keep you “fuller” longer, but they also
have potent fat fighting properties (especially the Omega- 3 fatty acids
in fish oil)

What do you think of that diet where you eat certain foods based on your blood
type?
I’ve always been told to get a six- pack you need to do a lot of abs
work with high reps. Would you agree?
Do I need supplements to lose weight?
Is it possible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time?
I’ve got fat located in
the area of my body where my arm meets my shoulder, and I can’t get rid
of it. Are there any exercises in particular that would help improve
that? Or what about any spot reducing supplements?
I know I should be having
some protein and carbs after a weights workout, but what about after
cardio? I've heard that you should wait 2 hours before eating.
You mentioned the benefits of scheduling a "cheat meal" into your eating
program at least once per week. Is there a best time to eat a cheat
meal?
Should I be counting my grams of fat, sugar, and calories?
What can I do to flatten my lower abs? I've been
doing crunches and hanging leg raises for the last year, but nothing
seems to help.
