Gut!!!!!!!!!
Hi Houston,
I drink a lot of decaffed iced tea and it will fill my belly until the
kidneys can clean it and converts it into urine. I call it my 'tea
belly' when I'm sitting up. I do workout and can stretch my stomach
muscles to help keep it tight. It's a Quad thing, I know, but
I can fight it forever! :)
With Love,

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?
