This is an interesting and timely discussion for me, as I have been pondering a similar question recently. To give the following numbers some context, I'm 197cm (6'5") and I was 100.6 kilos. In the last 3 weeks, I've lost 7 kilos (about a stone for those using imperial measures), I feel much leaner, and my Aria scales also…

Oh wow that would be good to watch! I'll take a look - thanks!

Cool, thanks. I have started reading Attia's stuff, but I'll admit to not getting very far. Will make a more concerted effort to read through it this weekend.

I commute in to work on my bike, it's 38 miles / 55km in each direction. Normally I would be fine on the homeward leg (which is predominantly uphill), I've been struggling so much though recently. I've been wondering a little more recently about snacks that I can carry with me when riding. Previously I would have gone for…

I'm new to this group, and new to low carbing too - I'll drop you a request. If anyone else feels like adding me too, please go ahead!

Thanks wabmester!

I'm only a few days into this so it's interesting to see the responses above. So far, top 5 for me would comprise almonds, full fat greek yoghurt, extra thick double cream, salmon and spinach. Eggs, poached, are a very close sixth!

My, entirely unscientific way of doing it for what it's worth, was based on this chart provided by the NHS in the U.K.: http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/healthy-living/Documents/Adult_height_weight_chart_110411.pdf. As somebody who's 197.5 centimetres tall, it suggests that a healthy weight is somewhere in the region of 73 - 98…

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this too, so I'm giving it a little bump.

I'm always training for something :) Half Marathon next month, a road cycling trip to the French Alps the next, a 210km Audax ride the month after, and a 310 km Audax the month after that. Mainly though, I'm training to get fitter. Physically, and mentally. One of the things that has interested me recently is the…

DianeEvans' advice above is something that I do too - but had forgotten to note it! I use it in combination with allowing my arms to hang freely. Dan.

Hello to you both, I enjoy running too, and as somebody who has previously had a neck injury suffer with some of the symptoms you describe, I'll offer advice based on what's helped me previously. Doing the following has allowed me to extend the time and distance that I run for considerably. Firstly, I take a lot more care…

I'd definitely just replace the cassette. In fact I've done just that. I'd keep a close eye on the chain going forward though - probably worth investing in a chain checker. You might see wear sooner. Dan.

Hey there! Joined MFP in December last year or thereabouts. Really enjoying the extra sense of accountability it gives me. I'm currently 104.3 Kgs which has me at least 10Kgs over suggested weight limits. Off to the Alps with friends to ride bikes in July. It's time to shed weight to make climbing those Cols easier! Add me…

At the moment, my goals are as follows: 1) Be able to climb all the routes that I'm due to do in the French Alps in July (including L'Alpe D'huez, Croix De Fer, Galibier). 2) Ride the Chiltern 100 and beat previous time. In an ideal world, score a gold time. 3) Ride the Etape Cymru and beat previous time. Aiming for a…

Yep, I use Strava and have done for about 2 years. I've been premium for pretty much the whole time too. I ride all sorts of bikes (Never ridden a uni-cycle but willing to give it a go. Have no intention of riding a folding bike). Recently started using Strava to track my runs too. I've tracked my rides using GPS and an…

Thanks for posting this. It's useful to hear your's and other's advice. While not a mature MFPer, I'd like to add one. Be open with everyone, family, friends and colleagues alike. Their support and understanding is important too.
