Stagmaster Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Stagmaster has given some decent advice, but I'd like to make a couple of comments of my own (Stagmaster, please don't take any of this as a dig at you). No problem, glad we are on talking terms again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Back in the gym this morning as i am back shift for the next few weeks and prefer going in the morning anyway. 7k on the bike for warm up and some cardio. Lat pull downs Squat rack Calf raises with squat bar Chest press ( only 10kg) Light walk and slight jog on treadmill Swim ( ( Few lengths ) Sauna Back in the pool to stretch and get the cold water. 4 times this week plus a run on Saturday morning should be more than enough and my rest day is Wednesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 My weekend end started off promisingly with a hike up Kilmalcolm. Sadly, I have since wrecked the benefits that's brought me by having a Chinese on Saturday night and 4 bacon rolls over the course of the weekend, as well as some Pringles and chocolate. I've stopped kidding myself on today and got all of the leftover Christmas crap out of the house in preparation for the work ahead. I go to Amsterdam for 5 days of madness in 5 weeks and I intend to give my body a pre-detox in that 5 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 me f**k me, and you want to lose weight? I am only 3 inches taller and 3 stone 12 heavier I don't want to lose weight, just about 1 inch off my stomach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) My eating today has consisted of: Rice Krispies for breakfast (well lunch as I get up at 12pm) 7pm - Had a nice salady type meal with some pastrami, onion, peppers, beetroot and spinach After I finish the gym I will either have: Gammon steak (grilled) with some oven chips or pasta with salmon. Snacks: 1 apple and 2 of the Tesco's healthier range breakfast bars. Any experts want to give me the positives/negatives of my days food? ETA: I haven't drank any water, but I've drank 1 litre of fresh pineapple juice and only 3 coffees.

vikingTON Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You need to drink much more water IMO. Also for philpy, chances are much of that weight (if it's early in a change of regime) will be water. Nothing massively wrong with that so long as you're keeping hydrated, but don't expect to make similar gains every week, if you're still eating and don't have E coli. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I broke my leg last year and haven't felt comfortable/confident enough running on it since. I am heading along to some Brazillian jiu jitsu this week as an alternative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 ETA: I haven't drank any water, but I've drank 1 litre of fresh pineapple juice Were you expecting a blowie? As mhak will say, very little is bad in isolation but presuming you're looking to lose weight then not drinking your calories is a good start. Switch to water, or sugar free diluting juice if water is too plain. It's really easy to neck a litre of fruit juice and although it'll have vitamins it doesn't fill you up so much compared to say eating a tin of pineapple chunks. I personally don't like cereal for breakfast and there's a lot of sugar in rice crispies but in isolation they're not going to do a massive amount of damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banterman86 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 My eating today has consisted of: : Gammon steak (grilled) with some oven chips or pasta with salmon. ETA: I haven't drank any water, but I've drank 1 litre of fresh pineapple juice and only 3 coffees. Loads of sugar in fruit juices, I'd imagine a litre of pineapple juice would be a fair chunk. Something I;ve started doing is swapping my chips/potato sides on my dinner for boiled veg or rice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chips and tesco breakfast bars are full of fat and sugar, as is the Krispies. Try replacing the latter with oatmeal and/or a piece of fruit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballfan25 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) if you want to get fit then forget about food as a source of enjoyment... If you like how it tastes (including fruit) then its bad for you unless you are some sort of a freak. Your diet should be lean meat vegetables wholegrain pasta with only olive oil, no cheese or sugary tomatoe sauces wholegrain porridge without sugar or salt unsalted nuts kidney beans more vegetables more vegetables and other things like this get that through your thick skulls and you will be fine. I have no beef with people who are fat b*stards and enjoy their food but I do have a problem with people bullsh*tting that they are eating a healthy diet on some of the sh** listed. just taking the p**s.

vikingTON Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Why would olive oil be acceptable on pasta but not its counterpart, some nice aged red wine or balsamic vinegar? I don't think this guy is a real expert based on these contradictory claims tbh. On another point, I've never really bought into the whole 'eat natural foods' recommendation - it strikes me as more a form of food snobbery than forming any meaningful difference to your health. Certainly amusing when some of those who jump on the bandwagon are still happy to glug down a whey protein milkshake in their mythical need to add more protein to their diet...
