What counts as 'Low Carb' ? I've been avoiding Baked Beans as I know they have 'some' carbs.... I see War-horse says he now has 100-150g a day.... If I had 2 poached and half a tin of Beans I'd be happy with that for breakfast. I think there is about 30g carbs in 200g of beans ... is that low carb?

Me and 'the boy' Mitch are Midlands based and trying to shift some KG ..... not doing brilliantly at the moment but back from holidays yesterday so 'back on it!' ;)

Breakfasts do seem the hard bit with low carb ..... saying that I usually have mushrooms, half a red pepper, spring onions, jalapenos, 3 rashers of English bacon and 3 eggs scrambled over it for breakfast / brunch and that sees me through to tea time :)

Thanks Stevie :) He's a fairly unenthusiastic fellow :/ so finding what motivates him is difficult... he does enjoy cycling though so that has to be the best exercise. I think he likes the Joe Wicks / very low carb, high protein diet format, but I'm guessing his portion sizes are what's causing the issue..... we're working…

Most big supermarkets have Aisles of 'non british' food... often you find stuff in them thats massively cheaper than buying elsewhere in the shop, like spices. I have found chick peas are a great thing to keep in the kitchen. Again from the same aisles you can often find tinned chickpeas at 30p ish , tinned tomatoes about…

There are heaps. Soups are good. I also like Mixed Bean Salad and a small tin of tuna in brine .. Crackabreads with Philadelphia Greek Salad. Depends what facilities you have I guess

Patience I guess. :0/ I seem to think it takes a couple of weeks before weight starts moving and it sometimes feel the results work the week AFTER the weigh in. Good one week , no difference, not quite so good , weight goes down, like it tracks a week behind somehow... Just keep it up, it'll come off.

Fair points. TBH I wasn't saying her effort wasn't good enough or slating her. It just may be less efficient than it could be. 2 hours on an exercise bike should be more than sufficient to maintain a healthy body and control weight. If it isn't , something somewhere is wrong. Merely sitting on an exercise bike would be of…

Same boat here, good old yoyo weight loser. Currently 227lb, would be very happy at 190. Lost a stone and a half last year then changed job. I've got things sorted where I am now and I've dropped a few pounds so hoping to maintain some momentum. Good luck with the weight loss.

How is it a none issue? The point of the exercise bike is to exercise .... this includes effort. Usually during exercise you 'break a sweat' ... vigorous exercise should get a good sweat on. Just because she "ups the incline /resistance" doesn't mean she's upping it enough... it should be offering real resistance,…

I'm amazed you can "Browse your phone" whilst on the exercise bike !! I'm sure some of the issue is your body is used to the bike..... it's become good at what you ask it to do. I'm a keen cyclist, and have recently borrowed a turbo trainer (though I'd much rather be out riding) .... there is no way I could browse the…
