Can we start tomorrow? If I have to do a sit up I might start crying. Have also just had a plate of cheese on toast for ballast, so not a good start. What does everyone say? Use today to proppa recover and eat all the bad shiite that's still around, and drink the good drink?

want to lose about 10lbs and get fitter more toned. no food after 6 pm. replacing lots of meals with porridge, fruit and fat free yoghurt, cutting right down on bread. 3-4 mile walk most nights and press ups and sit ups every day. its worked before and it will work again, usually get rid of a pound per week and I an still have a bottle of beer or two most nights :-)

yes, eating after 6 (after your dinner) is a major pound piler!
change one thing at a time, otherwise you will fall flat on your face at the first hurdle! good video, may open your eyes to a few brainwashing tactics: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2348910096409126100 |

The only time I did any good at dioeting was when I took the approach of 1 day at a time - bit like a recovering addict - if you tell yourself you only have to diet for 1 day, and not think about anything longer term than that - then do the same the next day. Just dont thonk about anything other than keeping to the regime fopr 24 hours

6 pm thing is a myth

if you consume as many caloriesin a y before 6pm as after 6pm you'll weigh the same. im only trying to help, if you think its rubbish, then fair enough! |
|
By:
its a bad habit and as such it is a big factor in putting weight on. your less likely to be physically active in the evening therefore your metabolism will be marginally slower. of course the total calories consumed, if they remain the same over a period of time will produce the same results, its about making it easier and more efective

what about after 6.10 pm?
|
|
By:
No!

ive heard 7pm as well, ive always taken it to mean dont be stuffin your face with crap after you main meal in the evening |
|
By:
Do you not need to make a list up with everyone's name on it, and have current weight and target weights and update it? Otherwise it's just the blind leading the blind, in my opinion.
However, I share Welshie's view above. It would, indeed, be a start. |
|
By:
yes, but ive found a wealth of info on health and how to improve my diet on forums! no harm in using forums, there has to be a balance though!

Morning morning. Well, this is it for me. Straight and narrow from now on, until Saturday. Just 2 cups of tea so far today. Slight twinge in my back (genuinely) so exercise may be reduced to light masturbation.
Am 15 stone 7. BMI is 29.48 ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/healthy_living/your_weight/bmiimperial_index.shtml ) which is just below the obesity region. However I am a total fat untoned dosser, and if I had the muscle that I should have, I would be easily obese (will take arial shot of my belly later if anyone's interested?) Anyway, it's going to be another tea, freshly opened fresh orange, a banana for breakfast, which will come after as long as I can stave off. Lunch I'd like to be soup because I have far too much bread. I picked up one of those sachets of soup in Sainsbury a few weeks ago. Just pour it out and heat up. Something like 180 calories for the whole thing. |

I never eat dinner before about 7.30, so the food after 6 thing is bull imo. No food after dinner is a more sensible guideline. I don't even get to the gym on a weekday evening before 6.20. If you go to the gym then eat dinner reasonably soon after you get out you'll be fine imo. 5 foot 11 tall, 12 stone 6 or so, think I'm the high end of the normal range by BMI consideration, but I'm far from unfit.

if your going to the gym then eating your metabolism will still be ticking over after you have eaten, not everyone goes to the gym on the evening, and its for those who need to watch what they eat in the evening. your an example of what people should be doing, most only do the eating bit. |

I do as a matter of fact Pool. Last time I cycled was about 4 years ago. Cycled for about 20 minutes (1/2 of it a reasonable incline) and almost died upon my return. However one side of my family used to be of good Calvanist upbrining so I'm not adverse to trying the bike out again and enjoying the pain and depression and humiliation of panting my way round the course again

idiots on here ffs.
The "no carbs after 6" isn't a magic formula. It's a guide, it can be 4,5,6,7,8 or whatever, the earlier you make it, the greater the effect. It's about carbs being metabolized into fat. |

I rely on medics for this type of advice.
It used to be a popular theme with various 'trainers', but it is unequivocally, utter nonsense and I shall dismiss any evidence to the contrary out of hand! |
