Most of the Quads in murderball end, after
watcher their live interview on a television program, are quads with Incomplete
injuries would sensation and motor movement far below their level of
injury. There was one guy who was interviewed who was technically a C5 C6
but operated as a T9 T10.
When doctors label us, they label us by our
point of injury. That is why comparing your level of injury to someone
else with the same level of injury is inconclusive. I have a friend who
was a C5 transfers himself into his convertible BMW along with his rigid
chair. I'm a C5 C6 incomplete and with all of the therapy in the world
will not be able to accomplish the feats that he can. My wife used to
compare me with him and accuse me of not trying as hard.

Gut!!!!!!!!!
Which is
true. why do some Quads not have quad guts? Ive seen quads no stomachs. It
seemed as if all the quads in murderball didnt have guts. I guess its like
everything else each quad is different.

Re: [QUAD-L] LOSING the Quad Gut!!!!!!!!!
Quad belly or Quad gut
has hardly anything to do with diet. It is the result of nonactive
stomach muscles not able to hold firmly your stomach, intestines, and other
inner organs. Your stomach becomes very pronounced when sitting in the
chair because the weight of your upper torso pushing down on your muscle
less stomach causing your midsection to expand.

You may benefit from Dr.
Pericone's book, The Pericone Weight Loss Diet. The book
treats nutrition at the cellular level and offers convincing
evidence and strategies that developing health at the cellular level
will provide a healthy platform for overall health.

I have completely changed what I thought WAS
a healthy diet and added all the recommended supplements to my diet.
With moderate exercise including free weights and using a hand
cycle to crank my heart and cardio rate up (this is the best
device to substitute for using our big leg muscles to get cardio
rate up!!!!!!!!!)

You
have to really eat light. I eat 2% cheese and open face
sandwiches with lettuce and tomatoes. I drink Slim fast twice a
day and just eat a regular meal in the evening. I don't
really eat very much beef, only occasionally. I mostly eat
turkey, chicken, fish, and I like lean cuisine dinners
occasionally. They have a great macaroni and cheese
lasagna in dark turkey with green beans. When I wear it
really feel like I want some comfort food, I eat the cream beef
with the gravy like mixture over light whole-wheat bread. I
don't eat a lot of bread or potatoes, but a lot of fruits and
vegetables and a lot of salads with light dressing which helped
to fill you up . I do eat sweet potatoes with just promise, but
I just found another, that was a little more healthy (I will
have to look at that for you) . I just started eating Activia
yogurt, which is really good and taking acidophilus everyday .
I I was being bloated, but that has has taken most of it
away. I thought I had gained a lot of weight, but it makes
my makes me fairly flat, although I have gained some weight I am
sure. Another thing that helps with bloating is gas x or
one of the many similar products. I take there a lot of
vitamins. I usually buy things that are reduced fat.
I do eat chips, trail mix , Kentucky fried chicken and other
things that are not low in fat, but I eat in moderation, which
is the key . When I go out to eat, I usually eat seafood,
turkey or chicken, although I sometimes feel like a backyard
burger or veggie pizza with thin crust. I really love the lower
calorie popcorn, although I also buy the kettle corn in
individual bags, which is not low calorie. I don't get to the
hospital that has a scale very often that you roll onto, but you must
keep track of the weight of your chair. I had gained 5
pounds last year. It's always much easier to try to lose
in the summer, as I don't get as hungry. I also get those weight
watcher cheesecake , South Beach peanut butter cookies, snacks
to eat if I'm hungry. I also like light cream cheese and
light and peanut butter spread very thinly over fat-free saltine
crackers. I also love ice cream and a light just doesn't taste
as good. Ha ha Baskin-Robbins does not come in light
unfortunately, so I have to splurge a few times a year
.
I look forward to getting ideas from
other quadlist persons that battle the quad gut.
the never
ending battle that we must face, because we don't have stomach
muscles.
It would be so fun to just eat anything
you wanted all the time, wouldn't
it?
