Serving Sizes That Lie

He *should* he has a lot already from weights 5 days a week, the cardio will keep existing muscles, you know, using your own weight as, well, weight, and will burn off fat.
Or atleast mix it so instead of 3-5 days of weights move it to 1-2 of weights and 2-3 of cardio.

In the spoiler below are 2 photos, one is a person who focused on weights and one is one who focused on cardio. Assuming you dont like dieting so you wont be nearly as toned as either examples which would you prefer? My advice was to that one person. In general weights are good, but not to lose weight.

doesn't the other one go stale?

Plastic baggies, 5c each, re-usable.

that's way too much work for poptarts

Aw fuck, we got Sethy going on fat people again. This thread's gonna get bigger than my ass after a box of Pop-Tarts™ and a DVD box set of the Young Ones.

Thats quite a talent you have. Not many men would admit to stuffing breakfast pastries and movie collections up their b-kricks, let alone the sphincter fortitude required for such a task. Tonight I raise my glass to you, sir.

I don't care what anyone says, a six pack is one serving. maybe.

Yes, that's the stuff. I would probably not use more than 2 - 3 slices, tops (and there are probably a dozen+ slices in even the really small "single-serving" packages). I just don't eat much. I don't count calories/servings or anything; I just don't get hungry very often, and when I do, I get full really quickly.

Ha!

This confused me. He is saying he has plateaued and you are advising him to cut back on both his cardio and his weight lifting? Am I missing something?

The bike is transportation. While it may not be as good as running it is certainly better than driving. Even if I were capable of running 20-30 miles a day, I don't have the time. I bike 2-3 times (at least) faster than I run.

The weights are the lure. I enjoy them. They get me to the gym. And I am not putting on any bulk. Just keeping what I have toned. Besides the last time I cut the weight training I started to gain weight back. It is my understanding that weight training improves the effectiveness of cardio. Maybe this has changed but that's what the trainers keep telling me.

Anyway my point was that there is no one answer. Obviously I get as much or more exercise than many if not most of the thin people out there. So for me the real problem is diet. And my lack of willpower in regard to food. I know it. And I have made some changes. Just not enough.

Yes, exactly! I've been complaining about this for ages. I bought a pack of 2 cookies at school one day and read that one serving was like half a cookie. Am I the only one who doesn't eat half a cookie at a time?
