Dunno, sounds a bit intense. Eating weet bix spinach and soy sauce followed by a coffee he doesn't even like then sits and doesn't eat at a restaurant on his bday?

Knows how many calories are in a 18g serve of sugar free tomato sauce?

Never even looked at a beer?

Does 4 x 400s for dessert?

Not sure whether I'm impressed or freaked out.

Sometimes i wonder if you are better getting a kid that is already subjecting himself to an AFL regime, they might be the type that has trouble improving.
Whereas a smokey from out in the Sticks who is already looking good, ( Issac Smith for example ) starts training and dieting with an AFL team and propels himself to a much higher level.

The other thing i wonder about is if some of the kids are on steroids or other performance enhancers in a make or break effort to get into AFL. I don't know how much of a testing regime there is at the lower levels. Anyone know?

A lot of that is really unhealthy behaviour.
Especially when he says he is only "allowed" to eat between 2-9pm despite doing two training sessions a day.

I'm not sure the medical/training staff will agree with his approach to diet anyway. Unless there's been some radical changes to findings about the human digestive system, only eating from 2.00 pm - 9.00 pm is close to the opposite of what he should be doing. You really should load up early & taper off during the day. As for weet bix, he may as well eat cardboard for all the nutritional value that has.

It kind of illustrates how hard it is to compare these kids eh.

Not sure about that. Look up "intermittent fasting". I know a few very fit people who do it, a bit of emerging science around it.

There is an increasing number of endurance athletes that are finding great success following a ketogenic (low carb) diet regime. Intermittent fasting (limiting the number of hours that you eat) is another way of forcing the body into ketosis (using fat as the body's main fuel source). Interestingly, Professor Tim Noakes, who was one of the leading advocates of carb loading has come out in recent years and said he got it wrong. He now follows a low carb regime. In the end it comes down to the individual. Low Carb and intermittent fasting works for some people and others find it unsustainable. If it improves your performance, I don't see a problem with it.

Why is it whenever there's some Wank Bank material posted on this forum, these two posters among others (Heretotellyouwhy ?) ALWAYS get asked for their thoughts? Who are they anyway? They're not even Saints fans unless I'm mistaken, so why are they being dragged here? Part of some pervy masturbation club you have going?

Surely it's not too hard to guess what their "thoughts" would be, but why do we have to read about it in a football forum?

I'm sure there's plenty of more suitable places on the internet that specialise in this type of conversation, this place isn't called Big Boobies.

We Get It, you like hot chicks. Most of us do. No need to keep checking like you're afraid that some big Homo Mind Changing Gas has been spread over all men by the Left Wing PC Fembot Fake News media and at some stage you'll be the only hetero in the world (outside Uganda) with no one to get sweaty palms with.

Move on.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't querying the fasting component more the timing of it. You digest fastest early morning. I assume the fasting component isn't supposed to be half a day every day though?

I lost 15 kg's by cutting carbs, it does work! I'm still dubious about the eating hours being optimum at that time of day though. Looks like he's about to lose his weet bix regardless!

Yeah hes a bit over the top with the calories i guess, pretty intense training wise, reminds me a bit of Sir Robert in the way he goes about it, but i don,t think Harves counted the calories so intensely. Then again i would prefer that than Smith getting smashed on nose beers and Bundy.
Judd famously mentioned in a early interview when he got to Perth that he never puts anything into his mouth without weighing it and checking the nutritional value of it...
 
Reading that Bailey Smith article gave me massive deja vu of articles on Tom Scully before he was drafted. Never touched a drop of alcohol, obsessive diet and training regime from a young age, intense dedication.

Certainly none of that's a negative but there's much more to a player than their attitude and with Scully I suspect that whilst his attitude made him stand out as an underager once he got to the professional level he was brought back to the pack in terms of how his attitude and dedication could give him an edge.

Also goes to show that having a fantastic attitude towards training and prep doesn't mean you aren't the sort of character who'll jump ship for a bag of cash and leave your struggling club and terminally ill president in the lurch :think:

The people who I know do it every day, yeah. No idea why it's morning. It actually ends up 2/3 of a day because they only eat 8 hours out of 24, taking sleep into account.

Actually it's fasting from 9pm the previous day.
Alot of what we assumed was correct about eating habits is being challenged now and what Smith is doing is probably the most effective at this point in time. Give it a try. After a week or so while your body gets used to the changes you will start feeling more energetic and cleaner.

I'm late to the party,

But I'll ask, you okay bud?
