Default Re: Getting Overweight from playing live poker and internet poker

I dont know if the OP is a hox or not. If it isnt a joke it's pretty damn gross.

-try doing any aerobic exercise(swim,walk,run,cross-country ski etc) a minimum 45 minutes a day 5-6 days a week.

-cut out eating drinking anything with alot of sugar,corn syrup, anthing hydrogenated.

-eat less saturated fat

-drink alot of water thruout the day.

-eat smaller portions. Americans are pigs and eat double the size portions that are recommended for healthy eating habits.

-dont eat until you are 100% full or over-full in other words dont be a pig eat till you are 80% full.

-find exercise you like to do -one that feels good to your body and mind-for me that is watersports-swimming,surfing etc sometimes biking or jogging. Also a weight-training program will help you with weight problems. I would focus on regular aerobic exercise w/some weight-training regimen and re-think your diet and eating habits from scratch.

No excuse for young people ..poker players or not to be out of shape.

2/3 of Americans are overweight. Americans are pigs..cut out the crap that makes us sick people..ie sodas,snacks-chips,high saturated fat quick foods pizza, burgers etc.

with time you will feel much better.
-Focus on fruit,vegetables,nuts,fish and leaner meats.

-if you have a sweet tooth fruit are a great subsitute ie pears,peaches,any melon bananas,strawberries-yum.

-if you cook add spices to your food ie lots of garlic,onions-which is also good for you. I grew up in a family of italian cooks so thats easy for me.

-use virgin olive oil over butter..fast and easy to cook for yourself. Cut excess fat off meats,chiken etc

-eat less dairy-cheeses,whole milk etc. I drink non-fat vanilla soymilk..I love it and I'm used to it.

Believe me I love meat-t-bones, porterhouses, greasy yummy fried chicken,burgers, bbq but I just try and limit the damage by not eating it too often..

Do aerobic exercise almost everyday and eat smaller portions. Your poker results will get much better-you will be able to play longer sessions with more focus. The main edge I gain is that I seem to get less frustrated from badbeats when I'm in good shape..

be disciplined with your exercise regime.it's easy to take one day off and it easily turns into 2 or 3. You must be disciplined and get in your exrcise no matter what unless you are just too sick and your body's immune system is low.

If you force yourself to exercise regularly you will have more energy than you ever had before to do what you want to do poker or not. Also your sex-life and senses-should also benefit.

sorry for rambling. I think it's disgusting that Americans are in such hideous health. It costs the country billions of dollars. We are living longer but are in worse shape.
