Jumped from 10.5/11 stone to 13 and even if it’s the heaviest I’ve been, and I’m still looking relatively not fat, I want to get down to around 11.5 stone in 2/3 months. Going for a calorie deficit (as anyone should) diet and heavy cardio + football. However I’m wanting to avoid pasta/rice a bit as I’ve been getting bloated eating them recently. Any suggestions on what I can have beside chicken/steak etc? Incorporate fish, eggs, almonds, high protein Greek yoghurt and legumes into your diet for your protein. Use sweet potatoes for your carbs if you're off pasta and rice although I'm experimenting just now with using just veg for my source of carbs, so if I stop posting in a few weeks I may have collapsed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Been growing old disgracefully and managed to get back into sparring every week. Good for burning calories. Going to a desert island now for a week. It’s 5k in circumference with a sandy beach the whole way round so ideal for a bit of “road” work. Might even bump into a native after a square go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Do intermittent fasting and watch the pounds fall off, I have lost 11 pounds in the last month doing it. Lost 2 pounds between sat 26 th Jan - 2 February despite drinking 4/7 of those nights in that week and having a takeaway on one night, all I did was 3 days with an 18 hour fast and on those days doing a HIIT workout and eating healthy within the eating windows and cutting out the majority of the shite I would normally consume on other days. I’m 12:6 now and think I can get below 12 by the end of February for my daughters birthday party when I’ll see my family who had last seen me as a fat disgusting alcoholic mess at Christmas time. Will be the first time I’ll have been below 12 stone since 2015 which is an absolute disgrace tbh.Some questions and a statement- What fasting schedule do you do?- what HIIT workout do .you do?- you’ll always be a fat disgusting alcoholic mess to me x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Anyone done the couch to 5k thing?Been a bit bored of my usual gym routine so thought I’d give it a go. After one run I’m not as bored of my old routine as I thought but I’ll stick with it for now. I started it a few weeks ago. I'm now on week 4 but often did more than 3 runs from each 'week' as I missed a few and didn't want to do too much too soon.I'm 14 stone when I probably should 12 but do a lot of walking so not fit but not horrendously unfit. Finding it at the right level for me and quite enjoying it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 my motivation is something that i am really struggling with.

Starting this football fitness thing next Wednesday and i’m going back to play 7s on a friday again for a wee while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cortisone is a catabolic steroid, that is one that breaks down tissue. I have never heard it cause emotional issues but I guess it can. Any steroid messes with the bodies balance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's a stress related hormone. Some people use 'supplements' to counteract its effects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Put on a couple of kilos over December and January which I want to shift in the next 8 weeks. Sticking to my regular weights routine, but adding a bit more cardio. Had been finishing with a 30 minutes HIIT effort on the bike, now following that with a bit of treadmill work, though doing that at a steady pace rather than HIIT as well. Managing 10 minutes at 10km p/h comfortably, want to get up to 20/25 minutes and will then try and work on the pace and get back to where I used to be. Still find the treadmill absolute torture compared to running outside, but the weather here right now rules that out as an option! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to pretend to be any sort of chemistry scientist but as it's used to treat some brain disorders you've got to assume that it has the potential to alter your brain chemistry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 They're just amino acids I think if anyone getting rage from taking them it's not the supplement that's the problem. It's not like Tren or anything like that which does seem to send some people mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAAs do effect the mTor pathway which is a protein that is said to be involved in the development of major depression. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4973973/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
