Steve Corona traineo Regular Posts: 36 Steve Corona I'm Steve. I am trying to get back into shape, I ran cross country for all 4 years of high school. I am currently a junior in college at RIT. My BMI is right on the border of normal and overweight. I am pretty muscular but I would still like to see that number drop. At 189 lbs I will have a "normal" BMI. I enjoy working out and run/bike daily as well as weight lift. I know they say you shouldn't bulk while dieting but it's been working for me. I started this summer at 220lbs (extra weight from living @ college) and am now down to just about 200lbs.. hope to break into the 190s soon.	# Posted: 25 Sep 2006 23:21 I have been reading about many of the negative aspects of HFCS since I cut soda out of my diet. I wanted to cut HFCS out of my diet completely but I have found it INCREDIBLY hard. Almost any sweetened drink has HFCS in it.. everything from iced tea to grape fruit juice. I don't want to drink any sugar-replacements so anything "diet" is out of the question. I drink alot of water but sometimes I just need something with a little flavor. I've been drinking lipton unsweetend iced tea which is ok but not great. Anyone have any success with a non-hfcs drink that tastes good?
Christopher Harrison traineo Regular Posts: 46 Christopher Harrison Mathematics graduate, looking for direction in life... I think I've got it now. I love cycling and am pretty good. However, with a heavy heart, I've had to swallow my pride and accept that I'm just too old to realise my aspirations of the professional ranks. My backup plan is to become a cioccolatere (in Italia)... So I'll be keeping my cycling-up, to avoid the consequences of a sweet-tooth! After all, I still have it in me to get into the upper echelons of the amateur ranks.	# Posted: 25 Sep 2006 23:38 Fruit juices and/or smoothies are sweet, with no added sugar or rubbish in them: you should be able to get fruit juice (from concentrate or otherwise) without added sugar. Squashes and cordials are pretty good too; but read the label to make sure you get the sugar free varieties.

There are plenty of all-natural fruit juices there. Also, if you like iced tea you can make your own and add as much real sugar as you want. Lately, since it's fall, I've been drinking all-natural cider! Warming it and adding mulling spices and a cinnamon stick is a great cool-weather treat.

Fresh juises are really rich in vitamins, and adding water you don't get too many calories. Try grapefruit fresh, they say it help sburning fat as well.Good luck

Nathan P. Fitness Guru Posts: 498 Nathan P. I'm a 23 year old FFB (former fat boy). I'm a grad student at the Univ. of Phoenix. I was married on June 1st, 2007 by a wonderful supportive woman. I have always been the fat kid so now I've changed that. I started at 305. I lost 80 pounds and was at 225 after I was sick. From Jan 07 to Apr 07, I put on 25 pounds. I then started to lose weight again, but started doing it the right way. I am now 235 and leaner than I was at 225. I'm going to see how close I can get to a 6 pack, but eventually I'll start trying to put on some muscle. Then lean out again. Six-Pack would be awesome, I've never had one of those. So we'll see. (my photo is me at 305lbs. when i get a good pic of me now at my current weight, i'll post it)	# Posted: 19 Oct 2006 16:30 if you want juice, get the juice that is 100% juice...obviously no soda of any kind (diet or reg.). Read labels, you're going to find that alot of food has HFCS in it, that you would never have though of, becaseu when YOU (not personally you, but a person) make that at home from scratch, you don't have HFCS in your cupboard. Read every label, if it has HFCS, or Partially hydrogenated (whatever)bean oil, put it back and don't buy it. If it's not there you can't eat it, and eventually you won't crave those things.
