Are you one of those discipline retirees, still
slender and fit?
For me aging and retirement has meant a crawling
metabolism and pounds lurking to rush in. I also hate the public gym scene
and like food.
Ouch!
Ouch!
I am a has-been professional dancer and model. After marriage and family I taught dance, and during my working and college years I was very active. Now my exercise - when not in physical therapy - is at home: a bike, some weights, a slider, occasional walks and the Rodney Yee A.M. Yoga (not pretzel fretful). Love the Zumba - workout but because of Post-Polio Syndrome my ability to exercise varies daily.
The nut of it, I would have to lose a few pounds to fit into outfits from “the days”. Also, for the first time - four moths ago - my sugar was a bit high, last test was normal but my cholesterol needs to come down.
Because of all that I appreciate smart exercise
and diet plans that don't entail buying into anything.
Today I am sharing The 3-Day Fat-BurningMeal Plan I found for on Prevention pamphlet. The main
thing points are:
"Stick to about 1,600
calories a day: 300 calories for breakfast,
450 calories each for lunch and dinner, plus two 200-calorie snacks. Research
shows you'll burn more calories every day by eating every 4 to 5 hours.
Drink 8 to 10 glasses of
cold water daily. It takes energy for your
digestive system to warm liquid to body temperature. In one study, participants
burned about 50 additional calories per day by drinking 1.5 liters of cold
water.
Eat more magnesium-rich
foods. Most of us don't consume the
recommended 320 mg (for women) of this key nutrient that fuels muscles.
Sources: spinach, black beans, ground flaxseed, scallops, tuna, almonds,
cashews, and brown rice."
