1329.0. "Help Needed!" by HOTLNE::SHIELDS () Sun Mar 30 1997 01:02

    I am looking for a program to help me lose weight and tone. I can work
    out 5 days a week, give or take. I belong to a gym. I own a soloflex
    rockit, a nordictack CTX, and weights. I have had a personal trainer
    and wasn't too happy w/ them.

Not to sound like we don't want to help, but.... This note is identical the
    one before it and the same information is necessary to answer it.

    Hello ?  (a first name was not attached)
    
    There are tons and tons of excercise programs listed throughout this
    notes file.  As we ask anyone who posts a note, you have to give more
    information about what it is you want and what your doing today.  If
    you belong to a gym, most of them usually have a bunch of different
    workouts they can give you.  All you have to do is ask the attendant,
    they are generally the easiest way to get started and from the ones I
    have seen are ok for beginners.
    
    If you want more a more tailored program, you really have to give us
    more to work on.  Generally things like your age, weight, types of
    excercises you do, dietary information, how frequently you work out,
    how dedicated you would be, are you active today, what physical
    condition are you in, is this a short term problem your addressing, or
    something you really want to get into long term?

    What was the problem with the personal trainer?

    The Nutrition Facts label on one of those little 7.5oz of Chef Boyardee
    Macaroni & Cheese tubs says it has 1g of fat, 0.5g of Sat. Fat.   The
    other little tubs have 11g or 12g of fat.  For instance, the same size
    tub of turkey and rice (no cheese) has 9g of fat!!
    
    I'm wondering if the M&C label is wrong........It would almost have to
    be with the cheese.

    Did you happen to notice the serving size.   1g of fat per serving
    or per tbsp???
    Got to watch out for what they're measuring the grams against.

    The bowl says serving size is 1 bowl, servings per container 1.
    
    
1329.6dehydrated cheese?HOTLNE::CORMIERTue Apr 01 1997 18:057
    It's possible.  If they use dehydrated cheese (like the orange stuff in
    the cardboard box) and reconstitute it with skim milk, it can have very
    little fat.  For those who like the Kraft macaroni and cheeese, you can
    still stay on your diet by using evaporated SKIM milk, eliminating the
    margerine/butter, and still have a creamy orange gooey mass to stir
    into the pasta, with virtually no fat!

    	The problem with the personal trainer was that I felt he didn't
    have enough knowledge and didn't care about what he was doing. He'd
    sit me on a bike for an hour and go talk on the phone. He was also
    intresed in me romantically.
