Diet and nutrition

[nicky]

Brilliant, i'll grab some later tonight

And listen, everything you have mentioned above I absolutely do not disagree with and certain elements such as " I don't want to waste my money " " I must get off the couch and make the most of this diet " would be spot on. I also feel that from my research and knowledge ( albeit limited to yourself by the sounds of it ) it does have a lot of nutritional benefits. My body has always reacted to changes pretty well and I would know within a month whether I am getting benefits from it, I certainly wouldn't be looking at it like a Herbal life program.

Currently I have been doing 16 hour daily intermittent fasts, from 8pm-12pm, it has been good and I have lost a little around the waist but not enough to scream KEEP GOING.

I love food, thats my biggest issue, I love having a nice solid breaky on the weekend whether that be porridge and dry fruit or some fruit toast and jam and then eat some burgers saturday night. I need to sacrifice more on the weekend and I think I will get more gains, I barely drink which is a bonus but if I do have an event and drink I tend to dabble in the prince charles to lol.

Anyway, I'm still tossing whether to give it a good for a few months, I've been told as I am really quite healthy as it is I wouldn't need to do the cleanse so that is a positive.

Just keep doing what works for you, but if you want to reduce body fat the diet will overrule anything else you do. Isagenix is not a silver bullet to sunddenly counter act excess calories. But as I said the give it a go, it may help you strengthen your discipline and in turn help you lose body fat.

Woolworths sells one in the cooking oil section.
500ml glass bottle for $12.99
90% mct oil, I've been using for over a year since discovering it.

I second this one. Pretty reasonable for the price. If you're new to MCT oil, just start slow and low on the dosage.

 

[raskolnikov]

Can anyone recommend MCT oil that isn't the BP one?

I use Melrose.

 

[Big Cox 88]

Bulk nutrients does a good value mct.

 

[ablett]

I use Melrose.

Yeah I've used it before but it contains glycerine as a presevent which is derived from GMO corn no doubt

 

[ablett]

Bulk nutrients does a good value mct.

Yes but I don't trust its quality plus it's in a plastic bottle.

Onnit.

Would highly recommend all their products really.

Joe Rogan likes this.

In all seriousness, Onnit do make some decent gear.

So the inhalation of smoke has gone from my body and ive been trying to change the diet.
jesus christ im finding it harder to stop eating certain foods than to stop smoking.

Biscuits and potato chips are a massive weakness


also im finding it hard to break the habit of eating a big meal instead of a few smaller ones

stupid food

Don't buy chips or biscuits, simple!

Try not to eat all day the you can eat a big meal at night & not feel guilty, this is practised in the Warrior Diet which has detailed book about it.

I know how you feel, I used to be a smoker and I used to eat snack type junk food all the time. It's tough to quit each alone let alone together.

Regarding the junk food it's nigh on impossible to do cold turkey, so start looking around for healthier alternatives. Slightly healthier alternatives like salted nuts, popcorn, 80% dark chocolate as a start but then work off these and onto stuff like apples and low carb protein bars.

That's pretty much what I did and I haven't bought a packet of chips/biscuits/chocolate bar for 3 or 4 years. I don't really snack on anything these days to be honest except the odd protein bar

 

[PoppedCorn]

Chips are the weakness.
But ive been good all week and its shopping day tomorrow.
Stocking up on almonds and cashews
Been doing serious reading on the stronglift 5x5 thing

I'm at 80kg but have a pot gut
So it's time to do something

I've quit the cigs now for 6 months, stopped the caffine, and feel much much better

I'm slowly getting into a routine

yep, i have been on a moderate LCHF diet for a few months now and feel really fit and healthy.

that is what i have been finding the hardest ie. between meals snacks/after dinner treats. i have gradually got it down to either a piece of fruit, 85% + dark chocolate or nuts (pecan, almond or macadamia), and have completely cut out bread and soft drinks which were previously my weaknesses.

 

[DemonTim]

Doing friday as a carb loading day before footy. Tried it for the first time last week (used the swan districts one as a template)
Played the best game of my life, and recovery was almost instant post game. Definitely sticking to that

I think caffeine can be beneficial, just not in the form of sugary coffee or full sugar energy drinks!

Nuts are a good idea, just remember they are quite high in fat so fairly calorie dense. Definitely better than chips though

 

[PoppedCorn]

Cheers for nut advice

Caffine was because I actually went off the taste of hot coffee.
I'll have a home made ice coffee about once a fortnight or so.

I drink a fair bit of tea, English breakfast, cant do green tea

Tried adding a little honey to green tea? I have one a day.

In summer filling up on soda water works to curb snacking too. A lot of hunger stems from dehydration.

I recommend X50 green tea, because it doesn't taste like green tea but you still get all the benefits

Any tips on how to get rid of this pest of a little guts I've got going!! I'm only 72kg or so and in pretty good knick but just a little bit of a pot belly has crept up on me the past few months. I'm pretty good with my diet, stay away from the soft drinks and shitty foods for the most part and only have half a teaspoon of sugar in the old coffee etc etc, I enjoy a beer on the weekend but yeah, confused how I have this when I look after myself reasonably well.

Everyone's genetics are different, but if you are lean enough most guys commonly store that stubborn fat below the belly button, lower back area. You say your diet is pretty spot on, but to get rid of the last bit of fat you need to dial in your diet some more.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Got the same mate
8w kilo and a pot belly
Working on it going with diet and exercise

Yeah, it's odd. Going to start to work the standard cheese, full fat mayo etc etc out of the diet to see if it helps

If you really want to get rid of that pot belly you don't have room for these type of foods in your diet full stop. Don't opt for reduced fat foods they are full of sugar.
