I thought so....
what about "steaming them" in 1-2 in of water top closed.....
or whats the best way to cook them?
Is there any good way to cook them in bulk?

Also....how is frying potatoes on the stove top in olive oil?

thanks!

Any and all help appreciated.

I want to go from the 1st image to the 2nd image (or kind of close to the 2nd image). I do not want to get ripped, tanked or anything like that. Just toned swimmer build.

I am 20 years old, I'm about 181-183cm tall, my weight is about 60-62kg. I am naturally athletic and have a slim bodynot skinny, slim. This picture is not me, I am a tiny bit more toned than him and my upper legs are not fat like the guy in the pics but it was the closest I could find.

What kinds of exercises would I need to do? (please let me know if there is an alternative to situps 'cos I really don't feel comfortable doing them, it just doesn't feel right no matter how many times I do them)
Any special diets?
Timeframe?
Difficulty?

Edit: Forgot this, how do you go about increasing flexibility in your legs? Is it just stretching frequently and as time goes on you are able to flex more and more?

I asked my friends and they said that this is a straight "bodybuilding" regiment and I was wondering is it just their lack of knowledge or is what they are saying legit? I mean my lifestyle is pretty sedentary and I'm trying to change that but I also want something doable. Since I am new to everything, is this a realistic first step? How is this different than p90x? As I don't have a gym membership and it may be more convenient in working out if I carve out an hour to work out at home, is that a more realistic program? Just wondering...I think diet wise isn't too bad but being Asian and avoiding rice is going to be rather difficult!

Thanks again!

hey raynor check out my cooking! http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=51532342&f=60

what d'ya think?

Just begin the cheat day starting with the first cheat meal you ate. That means, if you started at lets say 7pm on thursday, continue the cheating until 7pm on friday. Either way it's a 24 hr period (including sleep) no matter how you cut it.

yes...bulking is adding on weight, mass, size, etc.

Generally bulking makes you gain both fat and muscle

cutting is where you try to cut the fat but maintain the muscle.

Multivitamins - NOW! Adam (take 1 in the morning and 1 at night with food)
EFA's - NOW! Super Omega 3-6-9 (take 1-2 3x per day with meals)
Vitamin C - NOW! C-1000 (take 1 pill twice a day)
Vitamin D - NOW! Vitamin D 5,000 iu (1 per day)

avoid.

just supplement with those key nutrients by themselves.

basically, ZMA before bed, Multi Mineral at night, and BCAA's before during and after workouts and before bed.

steaming is preferred, only lightly though.

potatoes cooked via stovetop w/ o oil is also good.

Alright, thats pretty much wat I did, now I go another 14 days no carb

my progress is slowin down alot now tho, i could do more cardio, but , I still want to get down to maybe 185, want my abs to show up good, I weigh about 207 at my lowest in the morning

Im just wondering tho, cuz after I cut to 185, im gonna prolly clean bulk through summer

is it bad for your body to constantly cut and bulk all year long?
