I hope you got the first one! I'd be trying to catch your eye all evening :)

Eat some fatty ribs with some green leaf salad 2-3hrs before bed. Protein + fats = full and you'll sleep really well! Carbs are rapidly digested and quickly converted to blood glucose. Your blood glucose will return after 90 minutes. Then your insulin level will be at maximum. Your insulin will stack the glucose away in…

Cross Fit LOL

thanks folks, that's a great help! I miss my steel cut porridge oats and wonder what "ahem" cleansing agents can be naturally eaten and a friend recommended these :)

ditto! Try it as an experiment for 6 weeks, log everything, keep a blog, see how you feel :) You are an experiment of one! (damn, I knew I could nick that line at some point Kara)

This bit from wikipedia put me off LOL "Choking: Taking this product without adequate fluid may cause it to swell and block your throat or esophagus and may cause choking. Do not take this product if you have difficulty in swallowing. If you experience chest pain, vomiting, or difficulty in swallowing or breathing after…

we've not evolved to eat grains, we're meant to eat fat for fuel! join the revolution!!!! http://www.marksdailyapple.com/saturated-fat-healthy/

sorry, just to add, peeps should always take cash & ID with you and an ICE (In case of emergency) phone number written down! It's probably more important then water :)

I agree with Kara. Unless you have a hangover (whoops) or you're dehydrated in any other way, you shouldn't need it to take anything. ps I hate bottle belts too, (ha ha Kara), if it's greater then 6 miles, I'll consider a camelbak, great for long distance and comfy too!

LIKE!

control your body weight, once you can do that, then add weights if you want more ;) we're all gonna have opinions on this, many will be different. spot toning is an idea, not a reality. strength training certain "parts" of you (especially machines) can put your body out of balance and lead to injury (been there, done…

There's alot of personal opinion on this subject, but it does depend on what you're aiming for? if I coach friends/colleagues to run, I don't bother taking them out for 2miles etc... at the beginning. I take them out for some sprints within their ability. Flat out for 30m, then recover, repeat! over time I increase it.…

he's scared you can lift more then him LOL I had a guy (32yrs old, thinks he's fit) come over to my place to do some S&C. He couldn't lift the 35kgs sandbag.... In the end I gave him a 10kg plate... I was embarrassed for him as a girl was over the day before half his size doing clean and jerk with it! ps he does lots of…

but does muscle weigh more than fat when it's in the bath or in the shower?

[/quote] You are an experiment of one, you choose your own goal, and you choose your own units for measuring that goal. [/quote] best line... ever :)

Yes - you look naughty :)

ahem.... I love the data, but we're back to numbers... do we really know our BMR? how well can we predict our burn? how about adaption, when our bodies become more efficient and economise? How useful are measuring kcals in a positive/negative counting method? Are all kcals actually equal? I think you're trying to predict…

I've been reading this, I don't know if it's of any interest ? http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread7625.html

I'm actually deliberately experimenting with saturated fats... When I was a kid, I remember my great grandmother, my grandmother & my mother all cooking with lard! They were all thin! Everyone cooking with olive oil appears to be ... well ... chubby! I'm getting my fats from nuts, fish, all meats with skin (not processed)…

sugar = heroin! milk = morphine! salt = high BP?

awesome work! when are we going for a drink :) LOL

I managed to tear my meniscus, after 6 months running/wrestling/kickboxing with a neoprene knee brace, I had the surgery. I was on crutches the next day, I wrote a recovery plan that was achievable... within 6 weeks I was running 10k & sprinting again! for the first week, I just did upper body work using gym rings etc....…

heh heh! People who know you can be the enemy! They see the transformation & it feels them, with dread! They don't understand it! How can you decide to do something and make it happen! They like to talk about it, not do it! I tell people they're fat and they need to get with the program! I ask if they beep when they're…

Is this too hairy or just right? Guys and girls, doesn't matter, I'm curious where we are with this?

fat appears to be making me stronger or bad carbs were making me weaker? go figure!

I love the tip! I make arrangements to train with someone at 6am or 6:30am, I have to show, they have to show, it's a win/win :)
