Stress,Smoking,lack of SLEEP,Sugar,Sedentary living .... the 5 S's .
fat on the other hand (except trans fat) isn't the villain as much as it's portrayed ,fats can be a friend ...make sure you don't overdo the omega 6 - carbs are good too (complex and not simple) ...sticking to the calories (old school and boring) seems to be the standard . Not sure who this McDougall guy is ,but it's never wise to follow someone on the internet unless you have very good knowledge of the subject . |

it's amazing what you can learn after doing an elimination diet.
Which means eating a single number of safe foods for a week. When you reintroduce each food one at a time, and you find one that's been giving you problems. It hits you like a hammer and the change from going from well to very unwell is startling. Yet many people go through life feeling wretched all the time without a clue what's making them feel ill. And trying to even get them to consider it could be their diet is impossible. |

hope things work out for STUDYFORM ..not a nice thing to deal with .

Coachbuster are you STUDYFORM'S other username? I sympathise with anyone suffering from long term illnesses but being blinkered isn't doing him any favours.
I live on sugar in one form or another 500-600g per day depending on activity and I'm in the best health of my adult life barring the odd niggle. |

regarding Doctors and medication Dr CRIPPEN , I think there are a lot of folk out there who like the idea of taking medication so they can continue with their poor Lifestyles ..Doctors know this of course.
I once spoke to a guy who was chomping down pastries and chips who had a mighty high LDL reading ...i was a bit surprised ,but his thinking was 'thats fine ,i'm on statins now'  |
|
By:
People go to alternative doctors for one reason only.
It's because they've found using regular drug peddling doctors to be a waste of time and money. It should make anyone take notice when a conventionally trained doctor has abandoned his drugs to use a different approach altogether. |
|
By:
That's standard thinking Coachbuster. It's exactly how they think.
|
|
By:
Dr Crippen ,i like your reasoning ..it makes sound sense ,but most folk are either too blinkered or lazy to want to help themselves . I'm not including Studyform as he has already mentioned about him taking positive steps ...
Denzil ..why so much sugar ? |
|
By:
They think I'm all right now I'm on metaformin for my diabetes, I can eat what I like.
And when I get worse I'll start jabbing myself with insulin. Then by the time I lose a limb I'll be nearly dead anyway. |
|
By:
Denzil means living on foods which turn into sugar.

i saw someone eaten away by diabetes .. candy,chocolates and feck knows what else smuggled into the hospital in gift boxes ffs

are you a fruitarian Denzil ?
|
|
By:
yes,they're supposed to be the best carbs Dr Crippen
|
|
By:
No just starch based with the extras as and when eat plenty of bananas and try different fruits like pineapple/watermelon/apples/grapefruit/berries as and when I fancy them,very difficult to add weight got my calories with difficulty to nearly 3000 calories for a few days and weight actually went down but feel best early 2000's.
|

By:
good work Denzil ...are you a gym bunny or athlete ?
|
|
By:
No last time I was in a gym was 17 years ago currently turning round years of a clueless sh!tty lifestyle,exercise when I can too many niggles carried over but experiment with all kinds of exercise and food regimes.

By:
i was thinking ,as kids it was a diet almost of sugary foods ... ridiculous amounts ...but then we were always running around so not a fat kid to be seen in our group . I don't think it caused us any long term issues .
today's kids of course, still the same sugars but very little exercise  |
|
By:
Very true amongst young kids there's a massive gym explosion amongst teenagers though probably due to internet and TV body shaming etc.
|
|
By:
I stick to roughly around 2000 cals ,more if the odd beer thrown in ...100g protein a day (which is too much) 100g fat a day/30g sats (too much again of both) and only 100g of carbs ...not a big carb fan ,pure added Sugars 30g a day roughly . Plenty of veggies .
|
|
By:
you find there are 3 or 4 camps now ...the gym guys who are in mostly perfect shape ... the everyday average healthy weight ...and then the unhealthy , but not just overweight as in obese .. but unhealthy as in 'skinny fat ' ..so a low BMI but with dangerous visceral (belly) fat .
BMI's have been the standard for measurement ,but theyre a terrible gauge in all honesty |
|
By:
The fats are the issue there health wise and use up your calories,100g of protein is a mid range number for most veggies good.
Was on more than 200g fat per day on Keto but it's not healthy long term. BMI is bolox to anybody who's lifted weights,when I was about 19 with a not too bothered diet I was 5ft 8 had a 50 inch chest,17 1/2 inch arms 26+ inch thighs,17 inch calves and a 34 waist always 13 stone 7lbs in good shape fit and strong but overweight by BMI. |
|
By:
50 inch chest ,34 waist
 ... my days, that's brilliant body composition ..probably in the top 5% of the population ... your BMI totally meaningless there lol . |
|
By:
Seemed to reach my genetic potential quick wrists only 7 inches ankles 9 inches on a lifting spell about 10 years ago got my arms back to the same in about 3 months chest 52/53 neck 18 3/4 but waist 44 ish and 16 7- 16 10,then my back was fcuked due to an inbalance and that was that.

Now just looking for health exercise not necessary to achieve heart health but need to keep moving for everything else.
|
|
By:
Denzil , oats will keep you feeling full and are supposed to be a winner for heart health ..not sure if you're a fan .
Some say they are an anti nutrient but i'd always say take your more nutrituous foods elswhere in the day to be sure |
|
By:
Never been on any drugs btw. hormones are everything almost everyone with any kind of physique is on some sort of gear now whether it be androgens or stimulants plenty stimulants have an added muscle building affect.
Good rule of thumb if anybody has arms 11 inches or more than their wrist measurement they are 100% on something. |
|
By:
how did you build that mass to start with ? ..did you have a special diet plan or was it just hard work in the gym ?

My mate was extremely vascular and had tennis ball biceps as it turns out I now know his asthma wasn't the hinderance it was set out to be fitness wise,he nearly always had an inhaler.
|
|
By:
crikey lol , it must have been . Once you lose the pounds you will still have a very healthy mass there ...worth continuing with i say .
|
|
By:
Shrunk quickly on this diet that was what made me do Keto originally to keep any mass underneath but really I was too fat/unhealthy and still am so sticking with this way forever now,recently added pea protein shakes to test the effects but was crippled with aches which subsided when I stopped long term health the important thing now.
