Seriously...lots of water. And finding other things to do. Drink a bottle of water when you feel like you need something to eat if you just ate something a few hours ago. It usually means you're dehydrated.

I actually started running the opposite. I run slower but run longer, and I just do sprint intervals. I actually have lost more weight since I have started doing it that way.
I've been hearing about cycling carbs forever and am finally going to try it. I'll be doing Lyle McDonald's Ultimate Diet 2.0 for the next 6+ weeks. You basically live on ~50 carbs a day and 50% of maintenance calories for the first 3.5 days while depleting all glycogen from the muscle, then you carb load for the next 24 hours to get in a good heavy weight workout to maintain strength/muscle mass.
Eat a ton of spinach/broccoli/other fibrous vegetable you can tolerate. Luckily I love Spinach because my grandmother used to make me toast and spinach and it was the bomb.
If I get hungry I will also just eat blueberries or some fruit mixed into Cottage Cheese & Greek Yogurt. I hated Cottage cheese at first but I don't mind it now. The cottage cheese has casein protein in it meaning it is a slow-digesting protein and feeds the body over a longer period of time and the greek yogurt has a shiiiiiiiiit ton of protein in it and barely any carbs. It also helps to counteract the kurds texture in cottage cheese. Blueberries have a lot of antioxidants and are good for you. You can throw in some psyllium husk to get more fiber and fill you up.
Whataburger anyone?
It helps a lot when you hit the stop button once or twice in the middle of your run. It slows you down.
Mixing greek yogurt with things like lemons, oranges and limes is a great light summer snack. I love it. Greek yogurt by itself is kind of foul, but adding those makes it delish. Adding bigger pieces of fruit creates a good fruit salad.
I don't do cottage cheese that much, but the yogurt I do love.
And that is what really pissed me off the most. I could see if I were running at top speed or something. I think me trying to run quieter for that woman is affecting my form or something.
Quit being so self conscious. Is she really there every single time you run? Find a new treadmill. Or don't change a thing and tell her to off.
I chose a treadmill the other day that was way down from where I usually run, but near where this other guy usually uses the elliptical. He obviously knew that I run near a mirror and checked to see if he was in the way but decided to get on the elliptical anyway he was like "ehh, it. This is my spot.."...was I mad? No, because I was in his spot...not mine. Who was there first? Did she start working out there first? If so suck it up and move over...if you were there first then she can suck it.
Actually she did wind up moving. But it wasn't because of me, it was because of this guy who runs in those footsie things but it sounds like he is running in combat boots he runs so loud. He makes me sound like a church mouse. lol She moved down one machine and you could tell she was sorta pissed. She is a regular like I am, but she is usually there first. Now if I can I try not to get on the treadmill right behind her, but like I told her husband if there is only one treadmill available and it happens to be behind her then she is just going to have to suck it up and wear earplugs or something. And actually I have been trying to figure out why I run loud anyway not mainly because of her. Especially when I see people who are running the same speed or faster and you barely hear anything. This one woman was running at like 7.5 and I didn't hear ANYTHING hardly. Even when I walked directly behind her treadmill she ws on. Why do you run near a mirror?
It's less distracting. If I find the article again I'll fb it to you. It just said something about being less distracting. It also allows me to look at my form - or lack there of.
Ahh...here is something about it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/di...r-fitness.html

Some of this may have already been said... but depending on your weight and overall size.. its usually better to run short bursts at higher intensity.. say beach hill sprints if you want to tone your legs and burn fat.. or run 1km time trials around a grass field or up and down a soccer pitch.. time yourself and see how you improve.
Alot of people aimlessly run 5 km on a tread mill or even outdoors without elevating their heart into that fat burning level.. they hover just below it and really all that ends up doing is putting stress on your feet and knees especially if your really overweight.
dairy products, if you have lactose intolerant...you continue to eat dairy products to force it to come out quicker then later?
Get outside, sweat. Much more effective than a treadmill or exercise bike. I have taken to riding 12 miles before my shift every day since I went home based, but the difference between that and riding an exercise bike at the gym at work has been an entirely different world and it shows.
Whatever I'm doing it's working because I'm only 9 pounds away from the goal I set in July...running inside, without supplements, without p90x, weight lifting and without any fancy diets. If I keep going at the rate I am I should be there by Halloween. Sure, I could drop it quickly by the end of the summer but I seem to hit bumps where I stall out. I see that in my near future.
Run on the balls of your feet. Look into minimalist shoes. You don't have to go Vibram five fingers but pick up some light weight simple overpriced Nike Frees. Landing on your heels first is what causes the heavy stomping and also contributes directly to shin splints. It will take you a couple months to get used to landing on the mid/balls of your feet but it's worth it.
When you land on your heels you leg is almost fully extended as compared to landing on your mid/balls of your feet where your leg is still bent thus providing more springy effect. It has to do something like that lol. The shoe companies have completely fuked everyone's way of running due to building shoes with ridiculously huge heels for all of these years. Humans went thousands of years with barely any cushion. It makes sense.
tha ? Don't listen to this guy... Dont run on your heels, run on the balls of your feet, mid/balls of your feet? The you talking about???
You should run with your feet rolling from your heels to your toes, land on your heel and pick your heel up as your toes make contact with the ground and push off with your toes. There should be as little impact as possible. One smooth motion
I think I read in one of those runners magazines that you are supposed to have a motion like you are treading sand in between your toes after every motion. Running on the balls of your feet is pretty much running flat-footed.
as long as youre not slapping your flat feet on the ground you'll be ok. You shouldn't be able to hear your foot making contact with the ground at all
Your heel should not touch the ground if you are running properly, he is correct.
Crofl, now people need magazines to figure out how to run properly? jesus christ.
I ordered a book on strength training tbh. Rippetoe is a boss.
is there any doubt at all now that you're some unathletic little dork? You don't even know how to run properly
Only 30 dollars, though.
Hurt me a lot more to order some ty ass 13 inch LCD TV for 230 bucks.
