[QUOTE="ktaboga, post: 1852684, member: 84243"] Lots of good advice in the previous posts. Can be pretty much summed up as follows: Restrict simple carbs by replacing sugary and refined flour foods with non-starchy, fiber rich vegetables and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, etc. Resistance exercises (weights or body weight) 3 days a week. On "resistance" days get at least 1/2 hour of moderate cardio such as a fast walk. Keep stair climbing with a weighted pack. Use a weighted back for your hikes outdoors to strengthen your ankles, knees, feet. Keep an open mind especially regarding your diet. You'll find that as you progress, you will develop a taste for natural foods like raw veggies, lean meats, etc. Hang in there! The first week is tough but it becomes easier and enjoyable after that. Some side effects of all this: better, sleep, fewer episodes of cold and flu, a general sense of well being, and increased virility. You are young so you will see rapid results. This will work for anyone. I am in my late 60's, 6-6 and 220#, still running around the mountains like a fool. Good luck! - I hope you are successful on the draw and in the mountains. [/QUOTE]
