I am 16 years old and I am a runner (middle/long distance). I am 172cm and 60.5kg . from online calculators (probably inaccurate i know) and from cheap hand held monitors I have worked otu my body fat percentage to be about 20%. I want to lower it and also looking at myself I think that I am too fat (I have body image issues [had anorexia/bulimia] but genuinely think I should loose some fat and tone up). does anyone have any ideas that might help me? thank you x

Judging by your weight and height I'd say you look perfect (I am only an inch shorter than you but weigh the same). believe me when I say you don't need to lose any weight at all. just start doing some weights to tone up and you'll look super sexy just like me

its just so easy.. just minimize your food intake esp. those fatty foods and always eat fiber enriched foods and always drink plenty of water,and if you want you can try the "AFTER 6" process wherein you will not at food after 6pm and onwards except for water….hope this help…..

do a lot of aerobics

depends how well do you eat? i am unsure about adding this but the detox diet should help your problem….
1) Fresh Fruit
All fresh fruit
2) Fresh Vegetables
All fresh vegetables, Great detox foods include broccoli, cauliflower, broccoli sprouts, onions, garlic, artichokes, beets, red and green vegetables.
3) Rice
Brown or basmati rice, rice cakes, rice crackers and rice pasta.
4) other Grains
Quinoa, amaranth, millet, and buckwheat can be used instead of rice. they can be purchased at a health food store.
5) Beans
Split yellow and green peas and lentils are easiest to digest and require the least soaking time. other acceptable legumes include kidney beans, pinto beans, mung beans, garbanzo beans (chickpeas) and adzuki beans.

6) Nuts and Seeds
Unsalted nuts, seeds and nut butters can be sprinkled over any meal. Includes flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews and walnuts. Avoid peanuts.
7) Oil
Extra-virgin olive oil

Condiments
Vegetable salt, sea salt, vinegar, naturally fermented soy sauce or tamari, any culinary herbs or spices, limited amounts of honey.
9) Herbal Tea
Herbal non-caffeinated teas, green tea.
10) other Beverages
Water, lemon water, 100% natural fruit and vegetable juices, rice milk
11) Daily Detox must Do's
· Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day, warm or room temperature. Water is essential to clear waste from the blood. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger.
· Do not drink liquids around mealtime.
· Dilute fruit juice with 50% water.
· Take the time to chew food well, especially grains.

You do realise that 20% an ideal percentage for a woman to be, it's very fit and lean. That's what I'm aiming to be.

However, perhaps you want more muscle definition in which case you need to start doing strength training 3 times a week and eating more protein, around 110g per day.

At the moment you have 48.5kg of lean mass and 12kg of fat. so you don't have a lot of body fat and you have a decent amount of lean mass. I guess it's just a case of increasing the lean mass by 1-2kg and reducing the body fat by 1-2kg.

For example if you got the lean mass up to 50kg and the body fat down to 11kg, you would still weigh about the same, but would have reduced your body fat percentage to 18%.

I wouldn't go any lower than 15% body fat or you can face various health problems.

The key is: Diet Diet Diet, then exercise:

You need to eat 5-6 small meals a day. Eat some protein with each meal! Cut out all refined sugar!!! also add more fiber. the fiber and protein will fill you up, helping you to cut down on your unhealthy eating. also by eating more than 3 meals spread out through the day you will kick your metabolism in high gear. Here is a general meal for a day:

Breakfast: 2 poached eggs
whole wheat toast
1/2 cup fruit

Snack: Cottage Cheese with veggie

Lunch: Turkey, lettuce, tomato, whole wheat bread sandwich
1/2 cup fruit

Snack: Protein Shake

Dinner: Turkey Burger ( no bun )
Side of brown rice
Side of Broc.

Then exercise regularly 4-5 days a week. do both cardio and lifting. But on days that you do both. do lifting before your cardio and you will maximize your fat burn. Cardio can be a sport: basketball, soccer, football, anything with losts of movement. Golf is a no no.

So example :

Monday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
Tuesday – 1 hour lifting
Wednesday – Rest
Thrusday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
Friday – 1 hour lifting
Saturday – Rest
Sunday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio

The rise of atheism is sign of an upcoming new society based on new qualitative standards (read: moral), which transcend society itself toward preset binary values as basis on which people relate to their surrounding. this does not imply that atheism replaces theism because of a better, science-based perception of reality, but tells about the evolving stage of society itself which detaches from Mother Nature into Galactica spaceships to outrun the Red Giant and extinguish the everlasting thirst for greed, money and power.

Atheism counters theism as a philosophical anti-thesis. God-Existence exists, says the theist (God as existing symbol of the spiritual realm). God-Existence does not exist says the atheist (existence of everything does not exist, we do not exist..). Since "God is Life; Birth, love and Death" does not exist to the atheist, the atheist does not exist. Thus, atheism does not exist, but everything existing else does, overblown ego-idiots being part of that . In the philosophical sense, atheism without theism is "hollow", but necessary and progressive component of theism and is key force of its transcendence into its dialectic negation, Rationality being the Light. To make it simpler what I am refering to, the supernatural is either existent away from the natural or part of the natural – that being the critical division of common sense, or bridge few people cross.

An atheist thinks of a theist as someone irrational and whose stories are based on fairy tales and dellusion. In the best of the case, the atheist sees: love, hope and faith as a placeebo effect of something as imaginary as the virtual realm of the unconscious wold may be. the biggest mistake the overblown ego does, is degrade and flush everything its ancestry has done generation by generation…

Only individuals make their own convictions, yet are integral part of us all.

Edit:

"and atheists, who, while not believing in deities, do admit there are metaphysical realities we don't yet know how to perceive or access."

Lol.

That is like saying that we don't yet know how to love… Now, ain't that bizarre that we still do love as much as we exist.

In its own terms, once it "accesses" it, does that mean that it has reached the end of the road?

That idiotic agnosticism implies that its either the absolute or the nothing – our hiking is dellusional until we reach the top of the mountain. No way. Hiking is the joy of life, and the reaching itself of the tip is the nirvana; the opening of a new qualitative horizon of endless horizons.

Btw. I do not concord that pantheism is a form of atheism…

From the arguments I've had presented to me by atheists (for the most part they seek me out and approach me trying to convince me not to believe in God) they haven't made it any less reasonable to believe in God. They are trying to counter theism and failing at it.

There is a temptation to do so, but it is important that they don't.

Otherwise all you are doing is strengthening those issues that are causing the problems.

member; maybe you should actually think about the question before answering, bro.

Neither. the word atheist means "someone who does not believe in any God" — anything else is not atheism. if someone is countering theism or pronouncing their own opinions about theism neither of those behaviors has any thing to do with atheism.

Overgeneralization fail.

You really want to make this broad of a generalization about one fifth of the world's population?

Because not all of any group are exactly the same, the answer is that some do this and some don't.

Neither… atheists simply don't believe in any gods.

They are just a group of misguided people

Are atheists countering theism or going a step further and making their own convictions about theism?

Pocket pedometers or step counters have become essential accessories for health freaks who carry them wherever they like while jogging or walking, tying them to their belt or carrying them in their bags or pockets. Pocket pedometers are useful instruments for people who are trying to partake in active lifestyles for weight reduction. The use of these products greatly encourages health-conscious people to burn calories faster while walking or increase their steps. these products are equipped with large memories and consequently you can compare your performance of several days to see whether there has been an improvement or not. An average pocket pedometer counts the distance that you have travelled in a specified time and hence your speed also counts separately the steps that you have taken per minute while jogging.

Some erroneous kind of pocket pedometers also count the erratic movements that you make while walking like bending and stopping due to road impediments but such false steps are only recorded by some low quality pedometers only. Most of the modern state-of-the-art pocket pedometers are able to count steps accurately when they are not kept in bags but are tied to the belt in a perpendicular position. they also make errors in recording steps when the user is travelling to and forth to work due to the movement of the automobile. these pocket pedometers can also give faulty results depending on the length of step a person takes or because he has not strapped them properly.

Most of the sophisticated pedometers provide you with accurate results with a range of 5%. a user should try to make proper adjustments to his pedometer until he gets realistic accurate results. he should see whether he has worn his pedometer in the right way so that his movements are being recorded precisely. a pedometer needs to be readjusted if a little jiggling causes the rhythm of the pedometer to be disturbed. these pedometers have become very popular and nowadays mobile phones are also equipped with these instruments for example Nokia 5500 sports phone and the Sony Ericsson walkman phones.

These pedometers sometimes can also count your heart beat and are a very effective tool for a full workout. enjoy hip-pelting numbers while exercising your way to well-toned bodies with these pedometers. these products count the number of steps that you take by detecting the movement of your hips through a mechanical MEMS inertial sensor and special software. these products measure the distance based on the simple doctrines of inertia and symmetry. In the earlier versions of mechanical pedometers, a mechanical switch was used along with a very simple step-counter. Pedometers have been introduced in common use in America by the scientist Thomas Jefferson as early as 1800′s. The results given by pedometers also vary according to the physique of the user.

Finally, if you want to use the most efficient pedometer, which gives you the most precise results, then you can go for GPS (Global positioning system) based pedometers, which can provide the correct measurement of the distance that you have travelled.

If you are looking for new running shoes, then there are a ton of different shoe aspects to decide on. There are shoes that control the way your foot pronates, or rolls from heel to toe, and shoes designed for maximum cushioning amongst other choices. a new way of thinking is that perhaps people will run more efficiently in minimalist running shoes that allow your foot to roll naturally. The New Balance 101 is a new running shoe designed with these minimalist principles in mind.

The whole movement started with some interest in running barefoot. at first it seems like a painful and stupid idea, but when you really consider it, it makes perfect sense. The early humans didn’t wear shoes, but were able to run around unimpeded. Current apes have similar skin on their feet, but have no serious problems moving around on various terrain.

Today’s shoes are supposed to prevent injuries from running, but it seems like injuries are at an all time high. Running shoes in the 1970’s were much more simple and a lot of running records are still held from this time period. not that people didn’t get injured back then, but the injuries were a lot fewer and less severe. perhaps it is possible that the increase in shoe technology is actually hindering our natural ability to run quickly and without injuries. After all, the fast marathoners from Africa generally train barefoot for most of their lives and do just fine.

The New Balance 101 shoe is the newest shoe in a test line of minimalist running shoes. The original shoe in the line was the New Balance 100 which receives solid reviews from both barefoot enthusiasts and regular runners. They are designed to allow the foot to roll naturally and be as light as possible while still protecting the foot from unexpected sharp objects and rough terrain that an unshod foot might not be durable enough to handle.
