    Hear this all the time. Definitely not sustainable and not good for you. You are literally starving your body of all the essential macro and micro nutrients. As I said before, there is nothing better than a balanced diet and regular exercise.

    What are macro and micro nutrients?
    The only thing in sweet tea besides tea is sugar. No non-diabetic is going to become ill from not getting enough sugar.

    Although I'm curious, is sugar a macro nutrient or a micro nutrient?

    I have only one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On those days I choose one or two of the following to do:

    Workout Routine
    This workout is designed to take at least 1hr for which ever one you choose
    Choose one or two muscle groups to work per day
    Do the workout 3-5 times per week
    1-3 minute rest in between each set

    6 Pack abs (I):

    15 regular crunches
    15 in and outs (Fold knee and wrap arms around folded knee with only butt touching the ground)
    15 full length toe touches (with butt on ground, reach up and touch toe while at the same time raising feet up)
    10 each side full length side toe touches (Same as above but to the side)
    Side to side holds 30 secs (Russian twists)
    Sitting hold with leg kicks 30 seconds (The bicycle but with everything off the ground except butt)
    Sitting hold 30 secs
    Horizontal plane hold 30 secs (Plank)

    As many crunches as you can to burn out the set

    Do 4-8 sets

    6 Pack abs (II):
    Grab a bar and do the following:

    15 knee raises
    15 straight leg raises
    15 straight leg pushes (Same as knee raises, but leg pushes out)
    15 extended leg raises to bar (Same as leg raises, but leg goes farther up)
    15 straight leg holds


    As many straight leg raises to burn out the set

    Do 4-8 sets

    Bigger Chest:

    15 pushups inner (Diamond pushups)
    15 regular pushups
    15 outer pushups (Wide arm pushups)
    15 spider walk pushups (Staggered pushups)
    15 Hindu pushups
    15 explosive clap pushups
    7 secs down and 7 secs up pushups (10)

    As many pushups to burn out set

    Do 4-8 sets

    Leg:

    15 squats
    15 one leg squats each leg
    21 calf raises (7 inner, 7 regular, 7 wide)
    15 explosive squat jumps
    1 minute wall sits

    As may squats to burn out set

    Do 4-8 sets


    Shoulder, Back, Biceps, Triceps:

    15 wide pullups
    15 bicep pullups (under grip)
    15 dips on top of bar (Pull up above bar and do dips)
    15 inner pullups
    15 second hold on bar
    30 second handstand
    15 handstand pushups if you can
    15 wide muscle ups if you can (pull up all the way above bar)

    As many pullups to burn out set

    Do 4-8 sets
    No protein shakes or supplements. If you do this workout 3-5 times per week and spend 1hr doing it, you will never need protein shakes or whut not to see gains

    Only thing different about my diet is that I don't eat too much sugars, drink more water than soda and I stay away from burgers/fries.

    Diet can make a huge difference, I've been cutting out the last bit of sugar in my diet recently, I got rid of most of the unhealthy stuff two years ago when I quit drinking sugar (water only now) and eating fast food. Going to kick candy finally.

    I have a pullup bar in my apartment leading to the bathroom, really good way to force yourself to get a workout consistently.

    And cause this is totally hilarious, enjoy:

    When losing weight alcohol is your worst enemy, the sugar levels in alcohol are disgustingly high

    LOL?

    I don't drink sweet tea, does that mean I'm going to die? OH NO! do I drink too much water?

    watch out guys, don't drink water or you might starve your body!

    Macronutrients are nutrients that your body requires in large amounts (carbohydrates, protein, fat) whereas micronutrients are obviously the opposite, you require trace amounts of these nutrients (vitamins and minerals).

    There are normally 3 categories of carbohydrate: monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose) disaccharides (2 monosaccharides joined together, such as surcose), and polysaccharides (many joined together in a long chain, such as starch). Polysaccharides are sometimes referred to as 'complex' carbohydrates, whereas mono and disaccharides are 'simple'. Sugars are sometimes referred to as simple carbohydrates because because they are either mono or disaccharides. For example, surcose is table sugar (what you put in your tea) but many foods processed foods contain fructose (such as coca-cola). So sugar falls under macronutrients (hence why sugar is indented under carbohydrates on a food label).

    True. Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram, nearly double that of protein and carbohydrate (which contain 4 calories per gram), and nearly as much as fat, the most energy dense nutrient at 9 kCal/g.

    Haha, what I was referring to is water doesn't have many nutrients in it (macro or micro). Actually diet and physical activity are just as important as each other because they are both halves of the energy balance equation (i.e., energy in and energy out). Plus, diet doesn't develop your cardiorespiratory fitness, does it?

    Ahh, good to hear. It just that sometimes people go on crazy fad diets hoping to lose weight (which the normally do in the short term) but it isn't healthy. For example, you will probably lose weight from a 'low carbohydrate diet' because 1g of CHO is stored with just under 3g of water, meaning of you will lose weight, but it will be water weight which you will unavoidably put back on.

    The thing about the sweet tea is that it has sugar that your body doesn't need, just because you already get enough sugar from other food so the sweet tea is just extra.

    I hope nobody plans on only drinking water and not eating, that's just foolish

    Simplest way to look at it guys is to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume.

    Its not hard to lose weight, and you don't need a forum post to know how. We all know what foods are bad for us and we all know that being active burns calories. Saying that, I don't want people to start calorie counting. Its a bad road to go down. You're burning calories all the time even when you sleep, so don't think if you eat 500 calories of cake lets say on a particular day, you need to do 500 calories of work to not put on weight.

    Try staying away from simple carbs. We all I assume know what carbs are? If not they're a type of compound found in foods that are very easy for your body to break down and use for energy. This comes with a price however, they're also very easy for your body to store as fats, and is the first type of compound your body will try to convert into fat for storage during down time. Simple carbs are even more simpler to store as fat. Simple carbs are things like sweets/chocolate/white plastic bread etc. Complex are things like rice, potatoes, corn, wholemeal bread etc. Also other veg such as green beans, spinach and brocolli contain complex carbs (less starch, more fibre)

    Carbs are essential for your body for energy. If you find you're tired a lot of the time, carbs would most likely have something to do with it. Complex carbs should be about half of your intake in calories.

    Fitness/weight loss fall under the same catogory dude. If you're getting fit, you will lose weight. If you're losing weight, you're getting fit. I'm trying to help you. It took a good ten minutes to write that last post. :/
