Question has been modified to reflect diet for weight loss or weight gain. 

wow thanks

Day 1:

To be in good shape this year:make a sport activity,eat fresh and healthy food,

cook if you can,smile and accept yourself the way you are! Happy 2017 

wtg lips!

drink at least 3 liters of water a day is good for health and figure

Day 1 – What is your favorite diet and/or dieting tip to lose weight or gain weight?  Well the only thing that i have done different is to eat alot less. I still eat what ever i feel like but i make it a very small portion and so far i have lost over 30 pounds.  it seems to work for me.

thank you and good luck everyone. 

That is how I work it too. If I eat less and be more active, I lose weight. I am not really into exercise regiments; I just get out and go for walks. This is good for me also because it gets me out of the house and helps with the winter blues. Another way I excercise is to turn the music loud and dance. Of course, I only do that when I am alone. ;)

Hmmmm some good tips LCB'ers. Its hard to loose those few extra kilos from the holiday season!

Good luck with the contest all:)

Day 1 – What is your favorite diet and/or dieting tip to lose weight or gain weight?

45 min walk daily

2,5 glass water

quit smoke

eat fruit about 1 hour before lunch

I am trying to gain weight doing a lot of exercises when I am eating at least 6 times a day, every 2 hours.A lot of proteine from meat(beef or pork), a lot of carbohydrates with every meal (usually a lot of honey on a baked bread for desert.Strong breakfast with eggs and beacon + bananas!:).During the day I am eating lots of nuts and fruits :) Also I recommend to everyone to try a practise called ( Qi Gong ) It's like taoist yoga, more like meditation which includes silken movements.You wake up really fast and prepare your body for gaining weight or lossing, whatever you chose, you feel yourself much better and your day start with a burst of energy!

When I was younger, I was very very skinny.  Ha!  I used to wear pants under my pants to add bulk! I had a somewhat tumultuous upbringing-- moving from foster home to group home and back again. Being underweight seemed like a curse! lol!! That changed when I was about 24 years old.  For many years, I maintained a fairly healthy weight.  Then came the challenges of marriage, children, and employment... 

In my experience, it was during those major times of stress in my life that I struggled with maintaining a healthy weight.So while it is  important to eat healthy and to get your body in motion.. it is just as important to reduce the stress in your life too!

DAY 1-

There or I most lost the weight is not a good diet to advise. I did not make it deliberately).So I shall not speak about it

My diet not very original certainly  the same of plenty of person

otherwise for 5 kilos in one month unless the diet is too hard: no sugar no cheese(but i eat  it sometimes but   shut dont tell  it at my Déteticienne( doctor for food)-il needs to respect at every meal, to stay  in good form there while losing weight :

Proteinate - rather white meat or egg - fish (without sauce) crudeness and at will vegetables - and to prop up starved stomachs a small portion of pastas - for dessert if you like it  Natural yoghurt or flavor fruit no fruits in pieces inside   without fruts just "flavour" of  fruts but also 2 fruits by day- ha  i forget to say  NO BREAD(or just very little :)  )

AND MOVE (but i did not do it)

hmm  Good apetite !

I've tried exercise routines & never stick with them because I don't enjoy them. In the summer I like to go for walks; usually a couple miles, but winters in Minnesota make that difficult. I try to make up for that by changing the way I do things. For example: park in the back of the lot when I go to work so I have to walk further. 

As for diet, I can't stick to them. I find that just making subtle changes helps a lot. I also make better decisions when grocery shopping. Drink more water, eat more fresh fruit & salads! 

"il faut manger pour vivre et non pas vivre pour manger"    Molière,  L'avare

I totally agree with Molière!!!

No diets  at all !!!

I started eating better and I got off the couch and started walking with my grand kids( pokemon go). It is amazing how far you can walk, when you are having fun.

What is your favorite diet and/or dieting tip to lose weight or gain weight?

I think the most important thing is eating regularly and healthily. Your nutrition and eating habits are the most important parts of a diet, and thus that should be prioritized. I believe that avoiding high-carb food is the way to go for losing weight, and probably the opposite for gaining weight... and the same should apply to high-fat based food as well. Exercise comes second, and that should also be at regular intervals. You should always try to be active at least every hour (take five minutes to walk around, do something that involves movement) and have exercise periods during each week. It'll make you feel better and more refreshed, trust me.

If you don't like running, try walking. If you are unmotivated, try to rectify that by adding some incentive to begin - Newton's First Law is a pretty good analogy in these cases, where the hardest part is beginning the exercise regiment.

Great advice! You have been chosen as today's winner and will be added to prize draw when contest concludes 

my recommendation is good casino.bet365.com casino bonuses as a large selection of slots, slots prikrasno returns, and the most important is the reputation and casino vyshem level

Day 2 - What online or land based casino would you recommend to players?

raging bull casino

thx

Day 2: I would definately recommend Slotocash They have great Customer Service, a great variety of bonues, and for USA member's withdrawal time is good and you get PAID, always

Well I had two casinos in mind.

3Dice .  though they only give match bonuses to players based on the player's VIP status, very low WR is attached, Then there is this weekly contest with nine categories where those playing in real can get prizes of 100% match bonus up to $100 with only 1 x WR.  Then if you don't have money, there are hourly tournaments plus some tourney in between and be able to win a prize.

Then there is Videoslots.com, though they only give free spins match bonus for first time depositor, you'll enjoy their cashbacks/week, then reward on your standing in the "race", the spins you generated, also given every week.  And those unexpected rewards you get while playing their many different slots game.  Rewards that can fo as 30 free spins.

And both casinos do pay very fast (in my case, thru Neteller)

casino room

if only one can choose

cant play there now but i know  they offer many free spins and bonuses 

Day 2:

For online casinos, I would recommend Club World. I love their variety of RTG slots. They have wonderful customer service & offer lots of bonuses. Have never had an issue with a payout.

For land based casinos, I would recommend Hinckley Grand Casino in Hinckley Minnesota. They offer a lot of slots & there is something new everytime I visit. They have wonderful customer service & have many perks for their guests.

Day 2 :

I recommend Casino Extreme (online casino) to LCB players. This opinion is built for reasonable reasons :

- The cashout of your winnings does not require documents for verification.

- All withdrawals are instantly, Just you have to contact live chat.

- The support is helpful and very fast.

- There is a cashback 25% of all your deposits every day, and It is instantly also.

I think these advantages are what all players always are searching about.

I am a player in the USA, so the choices are lmited. I would recommend Intertops RTG Casino. They have been aound since I started playing online, which is over a decade ago. I have had an account there for many years; I opened my account when their microgaming version was available to us here. They reward loyal players free chips often and they consistantly have ongoing promotions going on. I have cashed out there on several occasions without any problems, they tranferred the funds directly to my bank account. One time, a couple of years ago, I received a $100 free chip on my birthday and was able to cash out the maximum amount of $500. I have always received excellent customer service there. 

Right now LCB has an exclusive welcome bonus at Intertops. If you open an account through here, you can use the code: LCB50FREE to receive 50 Free Spins on Samba Sunset. This offer is good until January 31.

Congratulations actmyname for winning Day #1!!

My go-to land based casino has always been the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas, (before the Stardust closed). It has changed a little over the years, but as far as taking care of the players, whether it be, card bonus,cash bonus or slot play bonus, they knew what it took to get you coming back.As far as online casinos go I have always liked the WTG Liberty Slots. They always seem eager to help when there is a problem and they put out no deposit bonuses pretty often. Plus the daily freerolls aren't bad either. gl all

Day 2 - What online or land based casino would you recommend to players?

As of right now i would have to say Grande Vegas casino.

Thank you and good luck everyone.  :)

Day2; 

There is only one site I have been promoting all over LCB past months cause its totally awesome in every way; videoslots.com 

Truly cannot think of anything that is wrong there to be honest ... If you dont have an account yet; better be sure to create one soon :D

Great tip! You will be entered in the prize draw 

Day 3 . Based on experience, never bring any credit cards or your ATM cards when gambling on land based casino.  Many ATMS abound in the casinos and they sure are a temptation to go over your gambling budget.   When playing online, be sure tp only have your gambling budget in your e-wallet (Neteller for example) or again, you will be tempted to deposit again if your gambling budget is already gone.  I know, I have done them in the past :(  :D

Tips do you have for sticking to a gambling budget? ....

Well there is actually one golden tip for everyone that has never deposited anywhere; DONT DO IT :)

I think when you are having a nice evening relaxed and decide to gamble ... but you lose quickly ... its hard or maybe impossible to have a limit :) (unless the money is gone ofcourse lol)

DAY #3

Tips for staying within budget. 

WIN WIN WIN,and Freeroll as much as possible.

Thank you very much!!

Day 3: Tips on how to stay on a gambling budget....

Well, I have gone over my budget on more than one occasion and usually lost way more than I should have spent. I guess my tip is: learn from experience. It can be your own or someone else's. You can use mine - I can tell you, for sure that it is not worth the gamble. I also found that once I go a little bit over my budget, it is very easy to continue to spend even more....so don't even start! Chances are, that if you already lost any amount of money, you will continue to lose more. Very seldom does it turn out that you will win even more or even make your money back.

Day 3: Tips on how to stay on a gambling budget, its free money do not play, I use the casino promotions or bonuses without deposit, I usually do not play with their own money,

Day 3 - Tips do you have for sticking to a gambling budget?

Place stakes you can afford to lose

thx

Day 3 - Tips do you have for sticking to a gambling budget?

I use my netspend card to deposit with and i only load a $100 at a time so i can not go crazy broke. I either have to run to store to load which is instant or use my paypal which takes a couple of days but either way i have time to come to my senses and stick to my budget.

thanks and good luck everyone.  :)

Day 3-- Tips for sticking to a gambling budget

The first step is to actually budget for gambling/entertainment.

Unless you're a professional gambler, treat gambling as you would an entertainment expense.

When going to a brick and mortar casino, a good way to get more milage out of your gambling budget is to 

find all the promotions available/offered by the casino -----  free buffets or discounted motel rooms and meals etc.

This same strategy applies to online casinos, but with more emphasis on educating yourself as to the terms and conditions  of each and every bonus/promotion.  Weigh the investment against the maximum payout and spend accordingly.  Playing in tournaments is another way to get more milage from your gambling budget.  The prize usually  far outweighs the investment  and the atmosphere of competitiveness is tons of fun!!!.

When playing at a land casino, I only take the amount I want to gamble with for that day or time period, that way if I lose it I will have to go back to my room or ATM to re-load. Just a little bit of time, can make a huge difference in your thought processes. Also, it may sound silly, but I always break down big bills. Putting a 100 bill in a machine makes it easier to think of it as credits not a real money. One more thing, if I put a 10 or 20 bill in a machine  and triple my money, I cash it out. Keep the slip and put 10 from my bankroll back in the machine (if I want to continue to play it. gl all

Day 3:

If I go to a land based casino, I only bring cash. Once that is spent; I am done, simple as that.

Online casinos are a little harder. I just have to make sure any upcoming bills are paid prior to playing. Anything leftover is my money to do as I please til my next paycheck.

Wow, great tips all! 

Day 4: Oh wait ... there is no day 4 (yet)... Still have a good one for myself ;)

Beeing more patient with waiting on certain things (like a no deposit bonus beeing added or freespins or whatsoever) ... I always like to get everything instant etc hahaha ... sometimes its not so bad to wait a little for good/nice rewards 

Deposit with a reputable Sportsbook. Many to choose from that are US freindly. Transfer a small percentage of your funds from the sportsbook to the casino for each time you want to play. This way you only risk what your transferred amount is and still have a huge percentage of your original deposit left. If you have a winning session in their casino you can easily transfer that amount back to the sportsbook part of the website. This a good way to learn how to manage your money and playing time. I think of the sportsbook part of the site as my bank. Just don't choose any of their casino promos while buying casino chips because there is always a rollover of 25X or more. You have to play the rollover amount including your transferred money all the way through before you can transfer it back to the book. It's kind of a shady way to get your money. So don't take any promo transfer codes.

Day 3 - Tips do you have for sticking to a gambling budget?

I hate to even admit it, but if I really want to stick to my gambling budget, I take Joe, my better half, literally!

He is always trying to find a way to save or increase our net worth. 

He would never let me go to the atm, in fact, he would be carrying all the credit cards.

He would encourage me to move on and try something else if I were losing at a particular game.                                                                                                              

He also has a 'time out' for when both of us are losing.   We will leave the casino floor, go get a bite, do a little shoping, maybe even just go to the bar, have a drinik and do some people watching.   The point is to get away for a short time and shake off the bad luck, if possible.   Then, retun to the casino.

I know that not everyone can do this, especially if their better half isn't really better!

In that case, don't try this, but take someone like this!

some cool response here./ good luck lcbers!

Tips do you have for sticking to a gambling budget?

I set myself on a time limit; this is usually 2 hours.  I walk at the end of my time limit. Doesn't matter if I am winning or losing, when time is up that's it for me.  I'm at about 50/50 win-loss ratio.  This works for me!  

Good luck everyone!

I am very impressed with your ability to do that! I think I would most likely say, "Just 5 more minutes" and then again and maybe again.
