Bammer's Sacrifice To The Football Gods

try heating that stuff up a little next time…was that oatmeal or coffee creamer and cinnamon crunch. No wonder you hate it…that looks nasty…and unlike any oatmeal I ever had. You must have grown up in Oregon…they don’t know how to cook shit right up there.

and that oatmeal starts to taste decent.

Oh, but its about sacrificing for the team. Nevermind.

It all sounds very good. I’ve lost 25 pounds since last November, and some say I didn’t need to lose the weight. At that time, I was 205, and I’m 6’2". All I did was eat better.

My metabolism still works wonders at 33 years of age, but all I seemed to eat was a lot of fried food, pizza, sandwiches, soft drinks and beer. Felt bad all of the time.

Personally, I havent eaten red meat since 1989.

So Bammer, am I eating too much oatmeal? It’s helped me lose a ton of weight (well, pretty much ANYTHING that replace a breakfast consisting of 2 bacon,egg, and cheese biscuits from Hardee’s, hash rounds, and OJ will do that). Just curious cause I’m certainly not a nutritional expert

Right now you are on the right track. I have no idea how much weight you are trying to lose but in the early goings eating healthier will lead to weight loss. Like you said, anything is better than eating bacon, grits, toast etc for breakfast. But eventually you’ll have to change your habits to ensure you are burning fat and not muscle.

I suggest this when it comes eating carbs. Depending on your workout level, shoot for anywhere from 35-70 carbs a day. I actually wrote a post the other day on Carbs. Go check that out as it may explain it a little better..

Since ive lost so much weight and am now trying to build muscle I eat more carbs than I use to. The body will use the carbs as energy and I need that to sustain a high level of energy during my work outs.

. . . we were kinda on the poor side. It was rough. My mama had us eating oatmeal or cream of wheat. . . .WITH POWDERED MILK now- no cinnamon. What I HAD to do was ixnay the milk and pour the oatmeal (with gobs and gobs of brown sugar) on buttered toast! It sounds weird, I know: talk about a concoction of “Colon Blow”? I realize this. But. . . . it was the only way to “stomach” (yes, i just used it as a pun) oatmeal for me- on toast!

You ever eat Special K with powdered milk? Don’t, EVER! That’s like evil-child-endangerment kind of parenting. What about miracle-whip and iceberg lettuce sandwiches? I used to love those!! Yessir!
