No, I didn't. I don't know why you presume I need help. Can't someone have an opinion without being jumped upon? I'm not interested in clean eating. My first post, as I mentioned, was a little tongue in cheek. I eat lots of processed foods.

Here we go. The trolls are out.

Such a way of edifying and encouraging those beneath your magnificent intellect.

No, it was a slightly tongue in cheek comment to say that while there are a lot of processed foods that I'd never eat, a lot of the foods I eat are processed. If that makes sense.

Excellent contribution, you must be so proud.

It was just an example. Maybe it's not bad for them, maybe it is. How would they know if they don't know what it is? This is all I'm trying to convey.

*you implied*Choosing not to eat MSG does not make it a qualm. I understand it, I don't need it, I don't weep in a corner when I see it in an ingredients list.*I really wouldn't*I'm not trying to disagree, why is it such a big deal that folk have to agree or not? You may not agree with the weather, will it change it?…

Well no, you actually weren't. Your response made about zero sense regarding what I wrote. Way to go at being able to pronounce <<slow clap>>

I didn't say there was. I don't have qualms about ingredients. Way to state the obvious. I see what you mean, because where some would struggle with Sodium chloride another May have no issues reading, pronouncing or eating sodium hexametaphosphate. A blanket rule is a simple method for people wishing to not ingest added…

Bollocks! I forgot about cheese... I eat a lot of that too. That's a process, and cream. I eat a lot of processed food.

I like to make an omelette with a good cheese and a handful of curly kale.

4 rashers of bacon and coffe with 60ml of double (heavy) cream.

I'm sorry, why have you quoted my post in your post? Baffled. I made a post earlier, I listed the things I eat which are processed. Olive oil is a process wherever it's done, is it not? I eat it, a lot of it. IMO, if you make things from scratch it's not going to have unpronounceable chemicals in it. I had a quick google:…

People think I eat dirty because I invest a shed load of fat a day - and we all know how bad for you that is! Weird that I have the lowest BMI in the house and I'm not the youngest.

Tinned tomatoes have gone through a process to get them into a tin can. Second point. Home cooking is cooking, not processing for sale. I have to add things to my processed list... Coconut oil, olive oil and minced meat oh and pork rinds. I think the point is that there are more odd chemicals in a bought, frozen pizza than…

I'm a full time papa bear. Soon to be training physio.

The only thing I eat that is processed is bacon, tomato purée and tinned tomatoes. I buy raw ingredients to make everything from scratch. Oh, and kippers, love those bad boys.

I'll take a look if you like. You need to set your privacy settings though, and make sure you've been logging everything you swallow. :-)

My post was directed at those who tend to beat themselves up if they have a bad day. It's not going to be an issue to do so, so long as you get right back on your hoss. I have it easy - I've always been wired to prefer to have a starter for desert. I didn't like chips (fries), potato or pasta as a kid and would only eat…

Oh yeah, pasta! Pasta used to have me bent over double as a kid. I'm not sure about rice, I've not had any for a while. I just feel much better dropping most carbs. Though I did have fish and chips at the coast on Saturday with few issues.

It's worth a try, but there are a few things to note. Do your research - Google terms such as 'lchf' and 'ketogenic'. Some people fail with this way of eating in the first two weeks because of the 'keto flu'. It can be fully avoided if you know what you're doing - hence the research! It may be beneficial to you to cut…

Muscle foods are great, but those hatche steaks are gash! Same with the protein pizza, utterly disgusting.

I control ibs by restricting carbs. Beans, bread, pastries, taters and sadly, good beer. I use fat for my fuel source.

Kale fried in coconut oil or olive oil. Boiled eggs. Pecan nut butter. Pork rinds (crackling/scratching), or just chunks of cheese.

Well, if you eat veggies then it's never going to be no carb. It can last as long as you want.

I have to lunge every day to get my left quad, mainly VMO, to work. If I don't, I get knee pain. You can try a backward lunge putting all your weight onto the 'rear' leg. Also try wall squat calf raises. I use a thermaband to add some resistance. These two exercises have helped build my leg back up after surgery.

Singer, guitarist and drummer, yes I've tried to do all three at once.

I completely agree. I'd say I was a relative newbie to the gym myself. Spent a shed load of time researching lifting properly and such. I stopped lifting after surgery until the physio told me I could go back to the gym. Now I'm back I started from square one on every lift. I just need to get into a routine of going every…
