Funny because it's true :lol:

I agree with Dolemite on the swimming thing. It's fun and it works at your whole body. I'm going to start doing that very soon.

I was also wondering if any of you guys have tried the atkins(sp?) diet or any others and how they worked out for you.

Since I got to college, I've lost over 25 lbs. And it can work for you! Here's how the magic Grave diet works.

1. Run out of money. Shit, that's not hard! Buy some CDs. Spend it all on orange juice, because you don't need food! When you do need food, eat Dinty Moore microwave beef stew. If that doesn't stop you from eating, nothing else will. One meal every 3 days will make you appreciate food of any quality, and not only that, you'll have no choice but to lose weight!

2. Walk everywhere, because you're too damn cheap for cabs and public transit!

3. Smoke like a chimney. Constantly. If you ever open your mouth and smoke doesn't come out, you're not smoking enough. Pussy.

And in no time, all your clothes will be ill-fitting and malformed and you'll need to put another hole in your belt for your pants to stay up. Fun times.

Long-term no-carb diets also give you bad breath, brought on by the bacteria produced by kitosis (which is the state your body goes into when it's forced to solely burn fat for energy, as opposed to burning carbs). Also keep in mind that burning fat isn't as efficient as burning carbs for energy, and you well tend to get sluggish if you do the Atkin's bullshit.

Also, another thing about Atkins is that, once you start eating carbs again, you gain the weight RIGHT BACK. Atkins is a sham, it's only good if you're temporarily trying to drop a few pounds. It's unhealthy and completely ineffective in the long run. It doesn't teach you how to eat normally at all.

That being said, I've never done Atkins, but I know several people who have. None could stick with it, and when they went off it, the weight came back almost instantly.

Yeah, swimming is fun. Plus, there's no impact on the joints like with running, so if you have joint problems, it saves you some wear and tear.

Running is great too, however. I like to mix up long distance jogging (I can go three miles now without stopping) and wind sprints.

:lol:

Step one: Destroy your car in a Final Fight bonus round. You dont need a car. Cars are stupid.
Step two: Eat whatever you want but go hungry every once in a while. Being hungry builds strong bones.
Step three: Walk everywhere. About a hour and a half everyday. Wear a bookbag with everything you own to increase the effect. Or tape a porkchop to the back of your pants and run past the neighborhood dog. Either is good.

Do this and you will be skinny. You Ganguro luvvin Kawaii speakin son-of-a-bag-of-whore! :lol:

'doshi, how tall are you? Holy shit. Being 150 lbs is not fat. I'm 5'9/ 5'10 and I'm around 150-155 lbs, and I want to GAIN weight. I've been eating and eating and yet at the end of the day I alway hover around 150/155. It sucks ass, especially since I'm trying to bulk up.

So guys, how do I get fatter?

also try and eat several meals throughout the day. Smaller meals, but very often, every 2 or 3 hours if you can. Five or so meals a day, you're body needs to be constantly fed energy instead of a big 3 meals where it sits on the unused stuff and turns it into fat, 5 small meals will just give it the energy and there won't be as much left over to be stored (as fat etc) and this will also help your metabolism. Basically everything Dolomite said is absolutely spot on. Drink lots of water, a gallon a day if you can. Take a multivitamin to help assimilate everything and it will help keep you from being drowsy n' shit. You've got to do a minimum of 30 minutes cardio, otherwise you don't get your heart rate up and burning fat for very long.

Wait wait wait. Are you like four feet tall? Because I weight about 155lbs (that's five pounds more than you) and I'm pretty damned skinny (I'm 5' 10").

Anyway, if you're living in California then you should be riding your bike to work. I ride to school and back, which totals about 100 miles a week. It keeps me fit and sexy. FIT AND SEXY

Yeah. im pretty thin too. 6' and 163. But for a thin dude, i work out alot, so I'm cut even though im not bulky. Good stuff :D.

Well the Japanese are stereotypically quite short.


Although you shouldn't believe in stereotypes, at least thats what it says on the back of my box of Earl Grey.
