Question:

Terri, Welcome and post.  Don’t be shy.  I have Greer’s book also and I don’t do it but I did notice results when I did do it.  Like most things I get bored with exercise.  I like a variety of work outs.  I’m trying Pilates, doing yoga, training with a trainer you name it because I get bored.  So whatever works for you and you like it, DO IT! Remember don’t be shy to post, we like to read and share new insight and opinions. Dimpil

Hello to everyone from Texas!!!  I’m also what’s known as a lurker. : )  I started reading the board about 7 months ago, never posted, fell off the wagon, stopped reading, stopped trying, yes, it’s true, I completely fell from grace. I’m back it now, going strong and feeling great!  I’d like to share a couple of things. First, I like to eat out every so often.  One of my biggest down falls has always been, not thinking I could go through Wendy’s w/o staying in ketosis. NOT TRUE! I’ve learned to order a triple meat w/ cheese, no ketchup, no pickles, toss the bread and be very happy!  The other day, I ordered the new bacon mushroom melt. I did it ALL right and it came out all wrong. I was totally crushed to find myself out of ketosis.  The only thing I can think is that the cheese sauce they used had to have had flour in it.  So, for those of you who may be tempted to try this, buyer beware! Second, I’d like to share some exercise info I’ve learned about.  I’m not here to tell you what you are doing is wrong or convert anyone from changing what is working for them.  But, I figure aside from those of you who are pumping iron and liking it (gag!!!), there are still a lot of you who are like me, i.e., I HATE TO WORK OUT!!!  There’s a book called, "How To Be A Loser" by Greer Childers.  She has a video tape you can also purchase.  I’ve found that her concept, just like high protein/low carb, makes so much sense, it’s startling! She teaches you to breath aerobically and spot train.  And no, I’m not talking 30 min warm ups either, I’m talking IMMEDIATELY, right then!  Her entire work out is 15 mins, and yes, it works!  Is it hard? NO!  How can it work if it’s not hard?  How hard is it to chow down on a nice juicy steak and a salad w/ your favorite dressing? We all know that works!  The beauty of this is, that if you have an absolute favorite repetitious exercise, you can combine the breathing w/ the exercise to reap maximum benefits.  I have an Ab Dolly Plus and I do my breathing w/ it.  It’s spot training, because just like w/ any injury or stress to the body, the oxygen w/i my body is going to the place that most needs it, i.e., my abs at that given moment.  It also puts your energy level at an incredible high.  I bought the book at Barnes & Noble at 9:30 PM one night and started to read, at 1:00 AM I was practicing breathing while reading, at 5:00 AM I was laying in my bed too oxygenated to sleep, but laughing my butt off.  I was amazed!  Doctors are actually dragging oxygen tanks home w/ them on the weekends because they are finding that oxygen rich blood prevents many illnesses. I’m off the perverbial soap box on this topic.  I sincerely hope this info will help someone out there.  I’m glad to now be part of this forum.  Thanks to so many of you who’ve shared so much great info.  This board is a blessing! Sincerely, Terri
