@mn5 I gave up fasting a year ago!
Oh right. That’s something I do and have gotten used to and my belt buckle has thanked me but I do realise it isn’t for everyone. Easy on the weekends if I have a bit of a lie in but can be tough other times.

@mn5 did it for 6 months, but didnt enjoy it, is a good way to kick start things and lose a few kgs easily, was the 16/8 one

I’ve done it on and off for about 3 years now and it works for me. Also doing stuff where you move quickly and get out of breath after awhile…..I think it’s called “cardio” or some weird sounding word. Turns out it’s quite beneficial

@mn5 yeah I have been skipping cardio, but in the past 10 days been doing 10 mins cardio at the end of my workouts to burn a few more cals.

Yeah that stuff is good shit. Great for camping as well. If you have little time just chuck contents of 2 cans in together with rice and maybe some almonds and mustard.

So starting point: 101kg this morning!
Weetbix do, well, a weetbix with plant sterols in them, which supposedly help with cholesterol, so will be having that as my brekkie from now on, with some oats, protein yoghurt and milk.
It is amazing how many healthy meals have loads of carbs and/or calories: 1700kj and 31g of carbs from 220g meal

Yep it's crazy. Probably great back in the day for farmer Joes and people on their feet all day, but way too much sugar for the modern desk jockey. Nutrigrain is "Ironman Food" because only ironmen burn enough calories to eat it.

….yeah and I remember some “Karen” whinging on Stuff.co.nz about her kid getting obese from too many powerades despite the All Blacks promoting it. Apparently ( although I’m no expert ) you need to do a shitload of exercise too. Who’d have thought ?

It's not like we don't have access to information these days.... Christ people are stupid.
A friend of my son's was round some years back and loudly proclaimed that his mummy wouldn't let him drink coke but but everything else was fine, including Powerade. Ffs.

Counting calories is so much fun
-
Hate calorie counting, and tbh was getting a bit over it when I was in deficit all week and not dropping weight.
Weighed 99.5 this morning, so dropped 1.5 since last Monday but I am not sure how much to attribute to the fact I had less than 1,000 cals yesterday due to a swollen lymph node meaning eating was uncomfortable, although surely the week of deficit will help too.
-
Calorie deficit in week 2 and still put on 500g this week....always sugars, salt and usually monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats I'm right on the daily limit or just under/over.
-
shes gonna be tough at the gym in the coming months with them not allowed to use fans!
Last 2 days been early 20s here, and I have sweated loads in my workouts, which wouldnt be so bad if I was drinking as much water as I would normally, but water fountains off too...keep forgetting to take a much bigger bottle (usually my 1L bottle is refilled at least twice)
-
Man calorie counting sucks, especially when running at decent deficit, and not making any headway on the weight!
I've also increased my cardio at the gym too, which wasnt hard as I was only doing minimal, now doing >10 mins each workout with HR >150BPM
-
Jesus those are low numbers, especially if you're also exercising. Do you find that you're functioning OK?

@rancid-schnitzel those deficits are including workouts (ie eating 2400 cals and off set by 800 cal at gym giving 600 cal deficit for day with target 2278 intake)
Haven't had dinner yet and screenshot doesn't show snacks (fruit, protein shake, nuts etc)

Good to know! Thought you were only eating 1800 cals.
Maybe the figure for the calories burned is inaccurate? It's strange that you wouldn't lose weight based on those numbers.

@rancid-schnitzel dunno is linked to my watch, I was at gym for over an hour today and finished with 5km bike ride so that number seems about right

️I don't know. You reckon you cracked a grand in the space of an hour? You must have been going at it like a demon.
Sorry just saw above. I assume the bike was high intensity?

@rancid-schnitzel was 72 mins all up, yeah HR around 150-160+ on bike.
It isn't a crappy watch and I've often thought numbers were actually on the low side with some activities haha
That said, even if those numbers are say 25% too high, my deficit is just smaller, but still a deficit...maybe in a fortnight 5kg will just disappear

If accurate then it's a mathematical certainty. Just continue what you're doing

I dunno if it will have any impact but on some strong antibiotics at present too (day 11 of 15)
