"Hey John...
I use Bodylastic bands as well for 7MB. Have you had to purchase additional bands to increase the resistance as you've gotten stronger or added muscle mass? How did you come up with a weight resistance (starting out)…"

I purchased 7MB at the same time as EODD and RFLB. Is it possible to do 7MB with exercise bands? Hubby and I live full time in a motorhome and travel a lot so, joining a gym or buying equipment is…Continue

Water---Ice cold or room temp?

Having just finished the RFLB diet on Sunday, the structure was much appreciated. I never could figure out why ice cold water and room temp water were listed at the times they were. So is there a…Continue

Measuring question.

On page 56 of EODD, Jon lists a days worth of his typical SNAPP based meals. On feeding four, he lists 50 grams of chicken breast, cooked. Is that supposed to be 50 grams of protein (about 8 ounces…Continue

Terry Davis replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"Well, looks like my question about using Bodylstics Bands w/ 7MB has been answered. I kinda toyed with the workout 7MM online videos with my bands last week, but tomorrow, it's on for real.
If anyone doesn't mind sharing, what kind…"
Elsa Gonzalez replied to Donna Cole's discussion Measuring question."Donna, thank you so much for this list. I find it very helpful. I just started the EODD diet yesterday and am still confused about a lot of things and what foods I can eat. This will help. Thanks again.

"Thanks for the tip about the search function. I had missed that as well."
JBF Coach Sarah replied to Donna Cole's discussion Measuring question."The lists on sites like www.fitday.com will give you a breakdown of all types of foods (including the processed and fast foods you do not want!), in calories, protein, carb and fat content.
When you see that you should have X-amount of protein,…"
Donna Cole replied to Donna Cole's discussion Measuring question."Jon has a nice 6 page document with the nutritional values of various foods. I printed this out and put it in my binder with all of his diet and exercise books."
Denise Fitzsimmons replied to Donna Cole's discussion Measuring question."It should ....but I can't figure out where in the site you mentioned. sorry to be so dumb but we get counting calories, No one has taught me about converting grams of protein. Is there there a difference between chicken and fish? Does any one…"
John Mulcahy replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"I have both the Max Tension set with the black band and the Super Strong set with the two orange bands. Believe me, they ain't kiddin' when they call it super strong.
About the only problem I can forsee - other than the obvious - is with…"
Donna Cole replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"We have the Bodylastics and recently ordered another set of handles and a big connector for trees or poles. I saw at that time that they have a new set that is a whole lot heavier than the basic set. So it looks to me like we are well set for the…"
JBF Coach Sarah replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"I can see how bands like these can be used efficiently by someone with enough dedication to the cause (fat off, muscle on). I would probably be better off carrying bands with me to my clients rather than two 20-pound Dbs :) (adjustable). The trouble…"
John Mulcahy replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"I would agree with you as far as Walmart bands are concerned. However, the bands I have let you easily do 7MM the same way you would with free weights.
With the bands I have, each band is rated at a certain "poundage" per hand. There are 7…"
Markku Niilo-Rämä replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"I really don't know how you can do 7mm effectively with rubber bands - how can you really monitor how much weight you use.. Gymstick is handy if on holiday and there is no gym available but I really can't do 7mm..
I prefer adjustable…"
JBF Coach Sarah replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"From what I saw on the web site, there is a line of Gymsticks that is telescopic, so I suppose it's a question of what you can afford: the basic straight stick, or the collapsible.
I still prefer weights :)"
John Mulcahy replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"The Gymstick looks pretty good, but I believe bands can be just as good or better.
I think when most people think of exercise tubes/bands, they are referring to the single bands that Walmart and others sell. I agree that Gymstick is definitely…"
Markku Niilo-Rämä replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"I would rather get something that works.. and the difference in price compared to a product that doesn't work so well is probably less than a price of a meal in a restaurant.. or maybe you'd rather eat at McDonalds a couple of times…"
JBF Coach Sarah replied to Donna Cole's discussion Exercise Bands"Looked them up. A trainer I work with had taken their workshop at a local fitness convention a couple of weeks ago and liked it; except the price :) they do look better than just the bands ..."

What other species even questions what to eat or how much?
Where are our instincts? Killed by civilization, or just "in a coma"?"
