Furniture helps
by: Hervy

LOL, yep, the furniture helps my to crash my diet on Saturday's but . . . . . .

I lost the weight when I was hauling regular freight man. No touch. Just like most truckers.
It's all in what you eat and simply exercises to enhance.

I lost the first 30lbs simply with a switch in diet, no exercise at all. I wanted to see if it would come off without exercising.

But, prior to trying to losing I had been working out so my metabolism was probably a little better than someone who never worked out.

But it is really very simple for anyone that wants to lose.

5 meals. 7, 10, 1, 4, 7

fiber one cereal,
beans,
tuna,
string beans, spinach with garlic
pears, peaches, pineapples with cinnamon
walnuts, almonds or banana for snack in between if needed.

Do 20 minutes of exercise at least 3 times a week.
Don't eat anything outside of this until you get down to target weight.

4 20 oz bottles of water a day minimum.

Take mega men multivitamin from GNC, citracal with Vitamin D, Omega 3

I promise you will lose weight. I will anyone money they will lose weight. Just take a little discipline. But if a person wants to lose weight to improve the future of your life, I don't see how you can not find the strength to get er done.

Talking about your health here.
After reaching your target you can eat what you want on Saturday in moderation.

Not like you are giving up whatever you like for ever, your just shooting for a specific goal, weight reduction, lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure.

Is eating healthy possible?
by: Jimmy

Well, it takes some preparation. Most newbies bring their eating habits with them. The healthy foods aren't readily available on the road. Well, they are, BUT, you first have to find them, and then, find a place to park an 18 wheeler while you go in and buy them.

When I'm at home, I eat a salad daily. On the road, it's damn hard to buy lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers and wash them off and prepare them and keep them refrigerated for several days.

And the lifestyle is hard on the body. So many coffee drinking, cigarette smoking, junk food eating, erratic sleeping truckers. Getting the flu on the road is miserable. You just can't call in sick. Some of these restaurants are filthy. I'll starve before I eat in them. And don't get me started on stress. Baaaaadd for the heart. Stress is a killer.

You may want to take a quick jaunt around the parking lot for exercise, but you may be dead tired and dirty and just blow it off until tomorrow.

I applaud Hervy for eating healthy and losing 50 lbs. It can be done, but really takes perseverance. Of course, lumping furniture every day helps.
