what i learned from the personal trainer...
i had my 2nd of "2 free personal training sessions for all world gym members" today. i learned a few things i thought i would share. first of all, i need to eat more protein. i did know that you're supposed to pair a carb (be it a meal, snack, whatever) with a protein. i was using nuts with my apple sometimes, but PT suggested something more like string cheese, as nuts are fatty. she also said low impact aerobics--like biking, hiking, walking, horseback riding, etc.--are what burns fat...not spinning (although spinning is excellent cardio and burns hella calories). so i need to adjust my workout schedule, also so i can get 8 hours of sleep a night. she said this is important so body can recover and i've also read that sleep is when your hormones that control appetite and fullness. and here's a freebie for you all from my PT...coldstone puts shortening in their ice cream to keep it from melting fast and to make it richer.....anyone else feel like gagging right now?!

Good info! I have been using nuts for my protien a lot. I'll have to use string cheese more often now... :) You GO GIRL!
Just because nuts have fat in them, it doesn't mean nuts are bad--they are very healthy, actually, and contain the kind of fat that helps lower cholesterol. You just have to be careful not to eat too much of them in one sitting as they do have a higher fat content than other forms of protein.
they are healthy, definitely. i guess if you're counting fat grams and aren't going over daily fat intake, and eat right portions. and i read 7 walnuts after a workout is good for recovery...it all comes back to portions....my biggest problem and the reason i'm chubby and not losing weight:)
Thats good info. I love string cheese.
Adriane where are you? :)
