in reply to [OT] General bad habits and characteristics (non programming).

If you are unhappy with your body, as it seems by reading your list, you can try Atkins Diet: You will lose weigth while drinking soda (light, of course), eating as much snacks as you want (without carbs, very important), and doing very little exercise (which seems to disapint you).

If you want a more radical habits change, take a look at John Stone's website, youll be amazed.

    I wouldn't say that I'm unhappy. More like not so happy. While by calculation (height in cm - 100 ~= perfect weight in kg for a man) I should loose something like 5 - 10 Kg (185 cm - 100 =~ 85 Kg). Somehow nobody doesn't have a feeling that I need to loose that much.

    Most annoying thing to me, is the belly of course - the hardest to get rid off<./p>

    So I'm counting that driving a bike will help with loosing weight and legs exercise. Wile exercises like push-ups, fallthrough (that's literal translation to English, don't know right name) and similar will give back some muscle "tonus".

    I'll check the URLs that you suggested of course

      Alright...this is a pet peeve of mine. Body mass index is a poor measure of optimal weight. It assumes way too much about average body composition...for some notion of average. According to this site, I'm in the 91st percentile, labeling me as obese. Let me tell you a little about myself. I'm 5'8", 210 lbs. However, I'm a bodybuilder. That means that I'm a lot more dense than "average".

      I also think that Atkins' is a load of shit. In preparation for a contest, I lost 60 lbs by cycling carbs. Had I cut them out completely, my weight loss would have plateaued. Plus, I wasn't eating pounds of bacon at a time. The most effective weight loss tool for the "average" person is cutting your calories by 100-200 per day and exercising a little more. You'd be surprised how easy it is!</rant>

        Sorry, but this is a great quote: "I'm a bodybuilder. That means I'm a lot more dense then averege".
