In this video, I deal with another viewer comment on why do people not lose weight or suffer weight loss stalls / plateaus. The first answer is “is it really a stall?”, “Have you lost any inches not just pounds?”, and “Have you not lost in more than 4 weeks?” If you satisfy these above question, this video is for you. Here is list of reasons that I go into in this video: 1.) Eating too many carbs (hidden carbs / underestimating) 2.) Undereating – starvation mode dieting 3.) Dehydration 4 …

* Accountability

In this video I deal with the question of a past Atkins follower regarding recidivism and motivation. The question was how to regain the motivation to do Atkins again when it just “makes you want to purge.”

I respond with dealing with about what motivated me. I held a couple of different images in my head — negative and positive ones. The negative ones centered on what the weight and fat meant to me — being kicked off amusement park rides or having to shop for cars with the greatest gut room. The positive ones kept varying as new opportunities kept arising – like reenlisting in the National Guard, running the Living History Farms race, or something as simple hiking with the kids.

The second half is surrounding yourself with others who know you and know your trials. They can commiserate with you, challenge you to do better, or celebrate in your successes.

Finally, internalizing the motivation rather than relying on external pressures is only way to success. External pressure will never be enough to turn down the chocolate because those motivators aren’t always around. You however always are.

Do you need some dieting inspiration? You are going to see me go from fat and ugly to trim, fit and sexy as inn as little as 90 days. I’m going to post a video every Saturday to track my weight loss progress. I am on the Atkins diet and eating basically no carbs, it sucks! I lost 50 lbs in 3 months doing this same diet back in 1998. I started this diet on July 17th of 2008 and this video was filmed on July 19th. Good luck to me! Leave me a comment if you want.

In this third video of my exercise series, I detail one of the more important questions to those who exercise on the Atkins Diet — how to stay hydrated while exercise. The easy answer is drink water, but on a hot day while sweating that is not always the best answer as one loses key minerals, like Sodium, Potassium, and other electrolytes. Non-low carbers have it easy as they can turn to any readily available Electrolyte replacement drink, like Gatorade or Powerade. Even those that recognize the need for protein like Accelerade, combine with 4x as much carbohydrates than protein.

Here is the home-made low carb Gatorade recipe:

Artificial Sweetener equivalent of 10 tbs. sugar (5/8 cups or 120 grams)
3/4ths tsp Morton Lite salt (4.2 grams)
1 package of unsweetened Koolade mix for flavor
2 liters Water

Commercial Low Carb Electrolyte Replacements:

Tablets:
Hammer Endurolytes – http://www.e-caps.com/za/HNT?PAGE=PRODUCT&PROD.ID=4037
Succeed! S Caps – http://www.succeedscaps.com/main_scaps.html

Drinks
Ultima Replenisher – Ultima Replenisher is a natural sports drink with zero sugar. It contains a full complement of electrolytes, not just a ton of sodium. Ultima also contains complex carbs for energy, water-soluble vitamins and vitamin enhancers for day-to-day health maintenance, and antioxidants to protect body systems from free radicals (toxins). Ultima uses no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. Sweetened with Stevia.

Emergen-C Lite by Alacer
This delicious natural citrus flavored drink boasts eight times more potassium than Gatorade, plus 25 different electrolytes, vitamin C, and B vitamins. Each effervescent serving features 1,000 mg of vitamin C plus valuable minerals and electrolytes as part of an advanced ascorbate complex. No sugars, no calories.

Not recommended: Gatorade G2

Dr Stephen Phinney noted the importance of Sodium and Potassium in his study. (http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/1/1/2)

Note: photos from my running of the 2007 Des Moines Marathon are at the conclusion of the video. I used Ultima Replenisher as my electrolyte replacement during that race.

Here is one of my favourite healthy treat recipes High protein ice cream!

Ill mix the following in the blender:

1 cup of egg whites
10-20 frozen strawberries depending on the size (you can also add in other frozen fruit of your choice)
2-3 scoops of vanilla whey protein
2 tablespoonfuls of Splenda

Blend it up until it has a consistency like frozen yoghurt. Youll most likely have to stop and stir up the frozen fruit a couple times to get it to mix well because it is so thick.

Give it a try and then post a comment to let me know how you like it.
