KILL your workout routine.

I was two weeks into a darn good workout program, had lost 6 lbs, starting to see a little loss in flab around the stomach, feeling stronger, and then BAM. I'm on my way to work one morning and my boss calls and tells me I need to be at one of our satellite locations for the next two weeks, and my current schedule doesn't allow me enough time to get a workout in before work. And that same evening my wife gets sick, so I have to watch my son for the next few days.

Man that's frustrating, I'm still getting pushups done and some ab work, but it really blows getting into it so far and then a roadblock like this. But hopefully I'll find a way around.

I've also found that 1200 calories a day is VERY difficult to maintain. I've been shooting for "1200-1400", but normally I end up right around 1400, despite the goal of 1200. It's just not enough to keep me from being hungry, even drinking water when hunger pangs hit. Is there a better way to manage this, without some kind of appetite supressant?

Wait for your stomach to shrink. The only thing that can help is more fat and less carbs.

Try some caffeine; it seems to take the edge off of hunger for me.

along with some diet mountain dew, probably a 20 ouncer every day, which I know I shouldn't do, but... yeah.

Just get caffeine pills at Walgreens. Its like 6 bucks for 60 200mg pills. I take one in the morning and one after lunchtime. Ephedrine can also help manage hunger.

I may try the caffeine, but I'm staying as far away from ephedrine as possible.

I think I'll fast today until dinner. GREAT workout this morning.

The people who got in trouble with ephedrine either had heart trouble or took waaaaay too much of it. Basically fatasses thinking that a pill would solve all their problems, and the more they took the better the result would be.

They still sell the stuff OTC in every pharmacy and grocery store; its benign.

Troll.


Gothic - Heart condition runs in my family, I'm not looking to possibly exacerbate it with myself, and I did have some small issues, nothing life threatening, when I was younger. Every once in a while a valve will stick, although the issue can resolve itself with time. Just not into ephedrine.

Oh, yeah, then in that case stay the fuck away. \:\) Not worth it for the minor benefit you'd get.

I'm not sure if this is normal or not but I bought a bottle several years ago and everytime I took it I got depressed. Like really depressed out of nowhere. I stopped taking it as soon as I figured out the correlation.

Weird. It can cause anxiety, which might trigger depression depending on what you're anxious about.

I dunno, I tolerate it pretty well, and it definitely helps kill my appetite on days that I'm having trouble with it.
