Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Chicken and waffles is where it's at.

That's why they're a potato chip flavor now. Can't remember if it's Lays or something else.

What's the purpose of P90X? Is it for gaining muscular strength/endurance or for losing fat? What are the goals of the users of P90X?

I haven't looked at this extensively, but to me it seems to cater to people who want to lose fat. If it promises more than that (and if I remember the adverts correctly, it does), I take issue with it. If one wants to gain muscle mass or strength, then he or she should weight train. P90X is not going to add muscle mass outside of small "beginner" gains. My reasoning behind this is simple: for optimal muscle growth and development, a person needs to consume a caloric surplus, and a user of P90X is instructed to eat less than what's desired.

What about weight lose? There are many, many aerobic and anaerobic exercises in which one could engage in to lose fat. Walking, swimming, running, etc. are all good ways to lose fat. Compound this with a calorie-conscious diet, and it would be effective in helping one lose weight.

I'm looking at this from a relatively ostensible perspective, but I think there are more conventional ways to fulfill one's goals than P90X. If one wants to gain muscle mass/strength, then he or she should weight train. If one wanted to lose fat, he or she should exercise and eat healthily (and below his or her caloric needs).

P90X, at least from my current perspective, isn't necessary.

P90X actually has very good reviews and I know people who have succeeded in getting in better shape because of it. It's principal factor is variation. It has you do everything from Yoga to strength training to cardio. It comes in several DVD's and you're supposed to do them on a schedule for 90 days straight. Each week is supposed to be different than the previous as to "confuse" your body and muscles. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't exercise regularly.

That last sentence is, in and of itself, why programs like P90X and others do work so well to those who stick with them. Most of these programs are aimed at lazy people trying to get in shape. Anyone with any real motivation or current workout program generally has enough knowledge to do something more aimed at their specific goal. That said, if you're not in shape, P90X is a great beginners tool to work towards that goal. I know people who've done it for the 90 days, took a week off and then started again. The nice thing about that program is A) it's hard to do everything they do on the DVD's, so 90 days might not be enough time to catch up B) if you do catch up, you can do more than they count on each exercise.

They also came out with a P90X 2, but I haven't heard a thing about it.

P90X isn't for beginners though. They tell you to take the fitness test online to see if you are fit enough for it. It's tough and it'll work you out.

The video provides you with a guide for whatever you desire. If you want to get tone/ripped it will give you a schedule how to do it. Same with getting bulk, it does it all.

Most people don't have time to run and swim so this is the best substitute for people like me. It's an hour work out that'll kick your ass.

As for breakfast, I didn't eat any. So hungry which I'm starting to get a headache.

 

[Starkist]

What are baked beans like in america?

Or biscuits for that matter?

They are delicious! Yum!

Biscuits are warm and soft and good with butter or honey. Baked beans are good usually with hot dogs and cheeseburgers.

It's perfectly fine for beginners. No a beginner is not going to be able to do all the reps they do on the DVD, but it also says that you can stop whenever you want and rest while they finish the set. As the beginner progresses through the weeks they do more and more reps each time, assuming they're pushing themselves.

When I was doing it we had a 50 year old guy who was way out of shape doing it with us. Sure, he didn't do as much as we did, but he kept moving right along. Exercise is just like any other activity that it just takes practice to get better at it. Especially something that is so guided along as P90X.

Is it cruel that this discussion got started in a thread about eating?

Yeah, but the website states to do the practice test first. I didn't, I just did it. The hardest one was the Plyometerics for me. One week my knees would be okay the next they'd hurt so bad. Its a great work it and I want to try two or the ten minuet one now.

I'm uneducated and big words confuse me so I'm going to say Apple Jacks. Yeah, and if that's a bad choice then Honey Bunches of Oats.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I'm not educated enough on the UK cereal selection to make a proper choice. Though, the one nice thing about cereal, is they're generally all pretty good, with some being better than others. I'm not sure I could pick a favorite. Honeycomb would be up there. Fruity Pebbles is awesome (and no that has nothing to do with John Cena haha). Count Chocula was always good.

Cheerios then. They're certainly not fun, but they do come in a wild shape. A very wild shape.

They also have a wonderful texture, or presence, that allows them to gain as much milk as is needed without going soggy too quick. I often find I'm left with a good gulp at the end of a bowl of cherios that cleanses the gums.

Starkist, me lad, I appreciate the effort!

American cereal is mostly sugar, would you say? Or are ye as big on the whole-grain train as we are??

 

[The Butcher]

Whatever happened to Product 19?

Whole grains have become all the rage. There's cereal lines out there that are promoted based mainly on their "good source of whole grains." And even though cereals like the ones I mentioned are still loaded with sugar, they supposedly have started to include more whole grains in them.

Honey Nut Cheerios' commercials specifically promote how they're good for your heart due to the whole grains.

Well, that would explain the name. It was a tasty healthy cereal, though. Kellogg's apparently still makes it, but I haven't seen it since I moved away from Maryland.

If I fancy a change from Corn Flakes, I go for Honey Nut Cheerios.

I have actually found that a lot of cereals have dropped badly in quality and taste, particularly Coco Pops, which used to be a real favourite but now I find them to be comparatively tasteless and a bit grainy.

If I'm not mistaken that's our equivalent to Coco Krispies. Basically the chocolate version of Fruity Pebbles here. I haven't had them in a long time, but they were still pretty good when I did. It could be the switch over to more whole grains.

Corn Flakes are legit. They're my next purchase.

Have you seen Special K lately? They added an extra ingredient (maybe oats) and sucked the flavour right out of it. I would write them a letter to complain, but they often respond with a free box, but I don't want a free box of shiiiiiit.

 

[Diet Soda]

Actually on a bit of a muesli trek at the moment. That stuff with 70% fruit is damn tasty, just bad value for money.

Alternatively I could go down to Lidl and get the imitation brand.

Baked beans are primarily served for dinner with either steak or hamburger. Breakfast? Nah...

We make our biscuits fluffy with buttermilk or flour and yeast. Used primarily for breakfast or country dinners like Virginia ham, fried potatoes, veggies, and the like.

Biscuits and gravy?

Are manly and awesome...

 

[Lowdown]

.....Especially if we're talking biscuits and sausage gravy. Anyone have a taste of Frosted Krispies?

 

[Danger Burger]

Got that box of Corn Flakes like I said I would.

What a pure delight they are. Such a smooth flavour; such a crisp chew. One of the few unadulterated breakfast cereals available.

I'm not sure what the comedian's name was, but he once said:

Frosties are just cornflakes for people who can't face reality.

Actually, it was from Peepshow. That really narrows down who could have said it. But they were right.

I can face reality.

I am Man.
I am conflakes eater.
I am HUGE!!!

Thats what eating a good breakfast feels like ladies. Power.

I'm hungover this morning (which is rare) so I don't want to be on my feet for very long. Settled for 2 slices of toast with clementine marmalade for starters. Made some pea and ham soup yesterday from the leftovers of the gammon joint I had on Friday, so I'll have some of that later on.

 

[Lowdown]

About to have another skillet breakfast like yesterday. Eggs, ground sage sausage, hash browns, cheese and onions in an excellent medley. Wish I had English muffins to go with it.
