P90X and diet Weight Loss Plan? A little Extreme But need feedback?

My Health — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 15:50:03 +0000

Background: I am 17 years old,5 feet 9 inches, a male. I weigh 244 pounds. I am basically obese, but at the same time you can consider me as being much more athletic than a different person of my size (I can lift weights, at one point benching 250 pounds (from 130 to 250 in a year before I quit); run fast but not too much stamina, although when i jog/pace i can run 5 miles). My framework, I guess you can say that I’m big and have a lot of girth (width).

Goal: Is to get anywhere between 150 and 170 without compromising muscle, or in other words, shape the muscle that I already may have and ASAP (before summer – 3-4 months)

Diet: My plan for at least 90 days is to follow an interesting article I found (although no scholarly or endorsed if you want to call it, article still seems promising. It says an average person following this diet alone would lose approximately 20 kgs (44 pounds)) which kind of rotates meals and the nutrition a person may take in: For example,
Day 1: Protein Day
Day 2: Starch Day
Day 3: Carbohydrate Day
Day 4: Fruit Day
Day 5: Water Day
Breakfast fruit everyday except Day 5, Lunch and supper are the same and concentrate on what they require for that particular day.
For better details,
http://www.dietforum.com/N-90Days-Diet.htm

OR, I can decide to eat Smart Start Cereal with 2% milk 3-5 times a day (my friend has done the smart start breakfast and ran 6 miles a day, he lost 70 pounds in a month and a half but regained all the weight back in 2 years). My plan is to to switch to a healthy eating lifestyle even when I lose all the weight so I’m not sure if I should starve myself like him.

Exercise plan: I have a program called P90X. It’s a very rigorous exercise program which lasts for 90 days and involves differentiation and changes its exercise focus everyday so one doesn’t get used to it and keeps on building their body at a fast rate. I’m sure there may be skeptics but there is not a single review (that I found) in which a person tries the program and says its bad (I’ve tried it myself for a couple of days, and it really is intense)
This is NOT fake, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXkCBYEWm8k
P90X is a very good program and a very very rigorous program as well and I plan on using that for its 90 day program. The guy in the video seems to a on a similar note as me when he started, but I weigh approximately 20 pounds more than him

Also, I plan on running 1-2 mile(s) along with the program anywhere between 7-13 minutes per mile depending on whether I jog or run.

1 pound=3500 calories
My plan is to eat between 1200-1500 calories MAX everyday and when working out everyday, I expect to burn 4000 calories a day (includes calories burned without exercise, like digesting or sleeping). So my calorie deficit should be 2500 calories everyday, so in 90 days or 3 months time I should be around 170-175 pounds.

Here are some of the websites I used:

Feedback is greatly appreciated! This is very important for me! Thanks a lot in advance, and I hope to get some good feedback.

I forgot to add along with the diet.

I plan on drinking a whole lot of water. Approximately 2-3 liters a day

Also, I’m thinking about taking V8 equal to 3 servings of vegetables
And, as a natural cleanser, fresh pineapple and cilantro juice from a blender

Thanks!

A Little About Contemporary Nutrition; Modern Day Food Intake and Their Benefits

My Health — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:45:38 +0000

Unlike previous times, foods these days are pretty much common among everyone. People used to cook at homes, and most of the times the same food would taste differently in different houses. But these days, the food comes from cans and packets, and most of the times, no matter which part of the country you may go, the food might taste exactly the same; for they all come from the same source.

Vegetarians

Some people, on the other hand, are limited of their nutrition intake due to foods they eat by reasons of health, morality, and many other factors. These people are simply known as vegetarian and they consume a contemporary nutrition intake indeed. They basically choose to forgo foods from animal sources such as meat, eggs, milk and so on.

This can be very good at one perspective, but not in another. From one angle, this is good because the contemporary nutrition does not have bad nutrients such as fat and is very low in calories, rich in fiber, carbohydrates and antioxidants. On the other hand, this food contains nothing much in protein and other important nutrients like calcium and magnesium, which is essential in good growth.

Genetically Modified Food

This is another evolution in contemporary nutrition these days, where natural foods such as vegetables and meat are not actually natural in reality. They are genetically produced or manufactured, also known as Genetically Modified or GM foods. This industrial farming and mass production of foods had indeed led to many controversies in the common dietary practice these days that people have shifted from the tradition food pyramid to their own individual ones.

This is one of the main reasons as to why people are slowly moving to vegetarian foods and other alternative contemporary nutrition types, especially those of organic sources and what they call ‘self-planted’ or ‘self-raised’. Also not to forget is the recent habit of taking supplements instead of the main food itself, in belief that the supplement is in fact better than the genetically produced food.

Health care’s ‘public option’ would cover little of population

My Health — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:41:41 +0000

A proposed government-run health insurance program, among the most divisive issues in the health care debate, would cover less than 1.5% of the population, new estimates show.

The latest version of the “public option,” included in the 10-year, $848 billion health care bill headed toward an initial Senate vote Saturday, would cover up to 4 million people, according to the Congressional Budget Office report released late Wednesday night.

The issue remains among those that have prevented Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid from securing the 60 votes he needs to pass the bill.

Paul Ginsburg, an economist with the Center for Studying Health System Change, questions the impact the public option proposals would have on families seeking health coverage.

“The type of public option we’re talking about today … is all about ideology and symbolism,” he said. “It’s not going to have any impact on our health system.”

SIDE-BY-SIDE: Comparing the House and Senate health bills

Reid, D-Nev., scheduled a weekend vote to determine whether the Senate will begin debate on its health care plan, which includes a public insurance program that individual states could choose not to offer residents.

The public plan was conceived as a separate insurance policy that would operate like Medicare, the government-run health program for seniors. President Obama has said a public option would “keep pressure on private insurers to keep their policies affordable.”

Under the House and Senate bills, the government option would be available only to people who shop for insurance on their own — meaning they don’t get coverage through work — or who work for small firms. The plan would be offered alongside private policies in online “exchanges” that would let people compare coverage and prices.

Like private insurers, the public plan’s funding would come from premiums, but Republicans and some Democrats, including Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, say its non-profit status would give it an unfair advantage. “A government plan is eventually going to crowd out the private insurance companies’ plans,” said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.

The public plan included in the House bill would cover 6 million people, the Congressional Budget Office predicted. The analysis predicted that the public plan would attract less healthy patients and that its average premiums would be “somewhat higher” than private plans.

The Senate bill would let states opt out of the public plan. States that are home to one-third of the population would be likely to do so, the CBO predicts.

Jacob Hacker, a Yale University political scientist who first proposed the public option, said the plan would still drive down health care costs despite the changes. For one thing, he said, it would offer consumers another choice in rural parts of the country where only one or two insurers offer policies.

Insurance companies oppose the program. Karen Ignagni, head of the trade group America’s Health Insurance Plans, says the public plan would underpay doctors, forcing them to shift the cost to patients with private coverage.

Under pressure from fellow Democrats, Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., reduced the plan’s power. Unlike Medicare, which decides how much to pay doctors for services, the public plan would negotiate with doctors as private insurers do.

updated 6:34 p.m. CT, Fri., Feb. 8, 2008
WASHINGTON – The influenza vaccine given to Americans may not protect as well as expected, U.S. health officials said on Friday as the number of flu cases increased nationwide.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said slightly more than half of the influenza virus strains reported to its surveillance system are not good matches against the strains included in this flu season’s vaccine.

The number of states reporting widespread flu activity jumped to 31 this week compared with 11 a week ago, the CDC said. But Dr. Joe Bresee of the CDC’s influenza division said there are no indications this flu season is worse than usual.

“Seasonal flu activity was slow to start this year but has increased sharply in recent weeks,” Bresee told reporters.

One measure officials use to gauge the severity of the season is the number of flu-related child deaths. Bresee said the CDC has heard of six U.S. children who have died from the flu, a relatively low number compared with recent years.

Flu viruses mutate and change all the time, so every year a different vaccine is created as officials predict which particular strains will circulate.

The vaccine is designed to protect against three influenza strains — two from Type A, an H1N1 and an H3N2 version, and one for Type B.

Bresee said about 30 percent of the overall strains of influenza in the United States may be a Type A strain that emerged in Australia called H3N2 A/Brisbane. It emerged too late to be included in the flu vaccine offered in the United States beginning in September and October.

The Type B strain chosen for this year’s vaccine also was not a good match for most of the B virus strains seen in the United States this flu season, Bresee said.

“While a less-than-ideal virus match between the viruses in the vaccine and those circulating viruses can reduce vaccine effectiveness, we know from past influenza studies that the vaccine can still protect enough to make illness milder or prevent flu-related complications,” Bresee said.

Bresee noted that decisions on the composition of the annual vaccine are made about nine months before it is made available to the public in the fall, and it is sometimes hard to know that far in advance which strains will circulate.

Flu vaccines take months to make.

Bresee also said some resistance is being reported to the antiviral drug Tamiflu, made by Switzerland’s Roche Holding AG and Gilead Sciences Inc of the United States. Of the viruses tested in CDC flu labs, 4.5 percent are resistant to the drug, Bresee said.

Influenza kills an estimated 36,000 Americans in an average year, and puts 200,000 into the hospital, the CDC said.
