Fun Fitness and Nutrition Sites



Recommended Posts

Since my surgery I've been listening to this podcast called Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy and I've found some really fun sites I thought I'd share with you guys. Some of them might be "Duh!s" to you guys but they were new to me. :)

National Body Challenge : Discovery Health - 8 week fitness challenge from Discovery Channel that will set up a plan for you including diet and excercises. They include recipes though most of it won't work for bariatric though you could shrink the portions and it definately isn't low carb. The part I love is the workouts. They have videos for each workout and it tells you how many calories you burn if you put in your weight on your profile.

www.thedailyplate.com - food and excercise tracker with a huge food database plus it allows you to enter new foods and you can use partial or multiple portions easily.

Healthy recipes, Healthy Eating, Healthy Cooking - Eating Well - Great magazine and website for eating healthy.

Kaboodle - have fun shopping with friends, share and discover new products. - Fun shopping site since we will be or are shopping for fitness stuff and new clothes. Yippee!

Welcome to The Portion Teller - Lisa R. Young, Ph.D., R.D. - Website for a book that is basically what lapband surgery is all about. Haven't read it yet but I really want to.

About the book - Locker Room Diaries - Another book, this one about body image.

Half of Me - Weight Loss blog. Good stuff there.

Hungry Girl - Fun site. Their tagline is Tips and Tricks for Hungry Chicks.

14 Habits That Make You Fat - 14 Habits that make you fat. Interesting read.

all: Popular | PeopleJam - A blog directory basically. Lots of nutrition and fitness stuff.

The Fitness Challenge - The Game Designed for the Wannabe Exerciser - Interesting concept, weight loss wagers. Mainly for accountability.

Welcome to DietTV.com - Another Health tracker plan. Has trackers for meals, exercise, Water, even sleep. Plus it can help you find a diet based on your needs. Haven't tried this yet but looks interesting.

Try before you buy - Articles & Exercises - Typical fitness book website but she has several free workout videos that are quick to do and really work the muscles.

All Things Food and Diet - fatsecret - Diet community. They review all kinds of diets.

Weigh 2 Win - Audio & Video - Workout video designed for bariatric surgery patients. I really want this one.

Wow! Hope you guys find something interesting in there.:sad:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
