now i get out and exercise 5-6 times per week and cook for myself. the results are evident and more satisfying than the extra income.

I'm sure it's plus EV $ wise in the long run.

Muscle/Flexibility
Everyone needs to do some resistance training at least twice a week. This can be as little a push-ups and sit-ups. Also try to do some cardio at least 4 times a weak. The heart is the biggest muslce in your body, make sure it is up to speed. This can include playing a full court basketball game, jogging, a brisk walk, taking several flights of stairs, or swimming

This is not the greatest advice if your intrested in looking fit, or musclar. The best way to lose weight and stay musclar for men is to totally ingrone cardio and concerate on weight training. Cardio burns muscle before fat and lowers testorone levels.

As an addition to this, I forgot about WATER! Drink lots of water. It improves flexibility. And of course, so does stretching everyday. It's important to stretch now while you can, instead of losing flexibility now and then having to stretch everyday to get around.

This is retarded.

And, yes Shermn, protein has a mild thermogenic effect and fiber can be subtracted from total caloric intake, but those things don't amount to too much (but are worth noting).

i agree, that's why i said it was just nitpicking. but the idea that "a calorie is a calorie" is just plain wrong.

In a day or two I will submit "Should you quit your day job? Part II."

Your post and some of the replies relate directly to one of my most important points. The pro's life is not intrinsically unhealthy. In fact, it offers excellent opportunities to exercise, eat properly, and so on.

Alas, many pros, perhaps most of them, don't take advantage of these opportunities. I hope some pros and wannabes follow your recommendations.

Thank you,

Al
