Sorted! 1% milk ok with you? Edited to discuss dairy requirements

Time for a cuppa! :)

Geez Sara I don't think I've never met anyone that is as bloody quick as you with their replies! lol! :) Personally speaking I'd have thought that everyone would benefit from lower blood cholesterol; a steady stream nutrients etc throughout the day and a smoother insulin response that is beneficial to for blood glucose…

Please feel to read them at your leisure. Also if you read the OP and my replies they are about managing energy levels and not directly linked to weight loss; however by maintaining ones energy levels you then have the energy to perform exercises that can assist in losing weight and body re composition. How you achieve…

Agreed; the point I was trying to make is that short term studies using obese sedentary subject groups using various diet regimes in relation to weight loss should not be applied to a completely different population in real world scenarios. Again I agree with your statement. As I previously mentioned I do what works for me…

Without going into a deeper reading of the studies and knowing/understanding the sponsors, researchers and authors I am not in a position to discuss their motives. However as with all things to do with research one has to try and read the findings objectively. And, as a lot of abstracts do they are not always very…

When reading clinical study reports there are a number of pointers one should be aware of: 1: Who sponsored the study? 2: Did the researchers have any potential bias going into the study? 3: Is the study ground breaking or is the objective to confirm/deny the results of a previous study? 4: Read 3 then read 1 and 2 again…

Also as a point to note is that the above studies used obese individuals as their subject groups and doesn't indicate whether the subjects were sedentary or active. So assuming, and one should never assume, they were sedentary obese individuals; how could the results be relevant to individuals that are active and living a…

If you read into these articles you will find that in all instances the subject groups were 'obese' and based on this my question to you is: Can studies on obese individuals have any correlation to athletic individuals living a healthy and energetic lifestyle? Surely if I wanted to understand the potential impact of MF on…

You may see this as a cop out but: I would need time to go back through all the reading I have done and cite specific example studies that use individuals of similar lifestyle, build and goals to myself. A lot of studies that people refer to use groups of overweight/obese individuals, people that are in specific age…

Are you into keto diets?

This could open the door for all sort of posts related to intermittent fasting etc Anyhoo I cannot say that Ive read studies with regards to skipping breakfast raising HGH levels, and I do appreciate fasting when done correctly for weight loss and boosting the immune system, however the other aspect of eating a good…

Love it! :)

Love it! The rule of thumb I've always worked to is that if you are eating clean 6 days out of 7, and within your AMR requirements, having a cheat day can be beneficial. But still having a cheat day doesn't give you carte blanche to totally destroy all the good work you've done previously.

I'd have to disagree with this. The majority of studies I have read have highlighted the need to replace expended energy and assist with recovery after exercise all help to reduce muscle catabolism. Catabolism, as Im sure you are aware is the breaking down of large molecules into smaller ones; an energy replacement…

Hi Johnny, Eating regular meals throughout the day is definitely the way to go. I try to time meals and macro-nutrient content based on my planned activities throughout the day. Eating a large breakfast is, for me, quiet important because I know that I have fasted for at least 8 hours during the night and my aims are to…

Hi there! The names David from Leeds West Yorkshire; a Tyke and proud of it! And at the moment not only is "grim up North" but its bloody snowing and pretty cold as well! Renowned, supposedly, for our flat caps and whippets this Tyke has dropped for 250 lls to around 195 lbs and is now aiming to increase my lean body mass.…

I've read a few interesting articles on overweight people that have lost a lot of weight and do not have the problem with excess skin hanging, The reason being is that it;s not the excess skin that causes the problem but remaining fat deposits that, once the weight has started to be lost, doesn't have the support it used…

Hi there; Dave from Leeds here! Mmmmm this group seems a bit quiet can we not kick it up a notch? Anyhoo let;s see how we go... I'm 47 and having dropped from 250 lbs to between 195 - 200 lbs over 2 years I'm now looking to turn the wobbly bits into something a bit more solid; whilst my goal isn't to really lose any more…
