How about the atkins diet? Need help getting skinny for a girl!!!

[Twist]

Im working my ass off. Ran a little 5 miles today did 4.2 in about 45 minutes im speeding up i about puked. I was gagging. Also worked out. Going to the gym 5 days a week and gonna run cardio 7 days a week. **** it im getting this shit done. I dont know what it is but i dont feel like eating. Seriously i only ate 2 eggs a protein shake and took some NO explode today. And right now i feel full. If i try to eat something i feel like im gonna puke.

Does anyone know how to explain this?? I need to eat i want to keep some of my muscle. Im gonna try to put down another protein shake. And take some flax oil.

You are overtraining my friend. Your central nervous system needs a break. You should not do high intensity for so long. Do short bursts followed by longer lower intensity exercise. Cardio example:
Phase 1
5-10 minutes warmup
Phase 2
3 minutes slow
2 minutes building up to an all out sprint
1 minute all out sprint
4-5 minutes slow
Phase 3
5 minutes cool down

repeat phase 2 for 40 - 50 minutes when cardio only day.
If after weight training, repeat phase 2 for 20 minutes and then do low intensity for the remainder.

Weight training and cardio should not exceed 90 minutes, cardio only can be up to 2.5 hours, with phase 2 constituting 60 minutes of total time.

Definitions:
MHR - max heart rate
High intensity (sprint)- 85% or more mhr
Lower intensity(slow) - 65-70% mhr

Twist dont be a dick lol, i mean of the cardio machines available they will all burn calories casue thats what there meant for. and good work on the running man

Not trying to be a dick. Sorry if I came off that way. elliptical will not burn calories like a stairmaster. If you are not obese, or you are not below 8%bf, and you do not have any medical issues, you do not belong on the elliptical.
The elliptical is a machine designed for people who do not want to work when they go to the gym. People are always trying to scheme ways to not have to try hard when they go to workout. If you didn't have to put out effort, it would be called "playing at the gym" not "working out"

um you should be hungry as **** but im never hungry immediatly after cardio i get a kind of sick feeling too.. maybe wait a little bit and see if your hungry

I don't get hungry immediately after cardio. If you are trying really hard, as you seem to be, your body is going to want to shut down completely. I start yawning, my eyes start tearing etc. Your body wants to shut down. eat clean and take a day off.

Twist is not being a dick.


Also i got down a protein shake but now i feel like shit. Ill try and eat more tomorrow.

This is what shakes are meant for.

beats me, and im not saying hes a dick to u just the sitting in one spot hyper ventilating thing was directed at me lol not u. and yeah im usually staaaarvin, are u drinkin lots of water dehydration can make u feel sick with low apetite..

Great point with the water issue. Could be dehydration.

Once again I wasn't trying to be rude. elliptical is not far off from hyperventilating IMO. It is designed for the consumer to feel good about working out, without actually doing so. I don't think they should be allowed in gyms.

Sorry to thread jack but since we are on the topic.

What would be a better alternative aside from Treadmill and the Stairmill? I can only do the stairmill for 5 mins before I can't go anymore. It's pretty sad. Also on a side note, a rather stupid question but when entering weight on a machine do you only enter LBM or your full weight for estimated calories burned?

I usually warm up on the eliptical and switch to treadmill.
