Oh good gracious! You can google "why ZZZ is bad for you" where ZZZ = ANYTHING and you'll find something on the internet. What a silly, silly statement that is. Apples can be bad for you; Meat can be bad for you; Sex can be bad for you; Flying can be bad for you; Giraffes can be bad for you (that last was a joke).

So true! I used to drink 4 litres of full fat fizzy drink each day; however, I was exercising enough for it to bring my kcal average for the day down to respectable levels. Full fat or diet coke, coffee with or w/o creamer doesn't matter if you make up with an average kcal count at the end of the day. On a separate note,…

Need I quote "this"? As long as cheat days don't become normal eating, then your body will work it out in a week or two on its own.

Brilliant!

First thought is "why do you hate them?" For example, did your mum just cook them poorly when you were growing up? Did you never mature (don't hate that word -- I'm speaking from examples of personal friends) to say you might like them? My picky friends simply never grew up, so they continue to say "veg is disgusting" out…

Congratulations! Just think when you'll say "I can't believe I only did just one!" :wink:

Kettle on > tea bag in mug > sweetener in mug if desired (I use one packet steviaraw) > once kettle water at boil, pour into mug > press tea bag against side of mug with spoon until desired colour (should never take more than 30 sec) > remove tea bag (never let black tea sit as it gets disgustingly bitter) > add milk if…

^^^ Truth ^^^

What amazingly helpful ideas! Thank you for posting! I'm not on a budget restriction, but this is massive.

This is so true! Nuts, avocado and oils are easy to "hide" into meals in order to bring up your kcal intake. Give it a go!

Have a friend hold you accountable. If you're used to going to the gym, then I'd bet you don't even need baby steps. Find a reliable friend or two or three who regularly go to the gym and tell them that you need their help to hold you accountable. Tell them not to take any whiny excuses, pathetic rationalisation or…

Hear hear! The more colour variety in your foods, the better. Less boxed/pre-packaged items. Don't ever tell yourself "I can't stop by the market today" because ... well, because you CAN. Get loads of fresh fruit and veg, fish, lean meat, etc. Then go back to the veg and realise you didn't get enough the first time around.…

I've been taking a small dose iron supplements, loads of tea and coffee, and received yet another clean bill of health from my GP around December. Caffeine isn't that ill fitting for my body or many others. Just take small amounts of your vitamins until your stomach is used to it otherwise you could end up with some…

Definitely. I'll start off small and work my way up as last time I would frequent the gym. I appreciate your suggestion. :smile: You'd be surprised how short a duration it took me from 10 stone down to my current 8 stone 10! I only just started at the beginning of the year. It was quite a scare how quickly it came off.…

Right?! I sweat through every layer after 5 min of just walking. Then I see some poncy, bronzed a**e walking around on the surface of the sun drinking a hot coffee wearing a jumper in mid-summer ... NOTHING! Not even a drop of his brow, that piece of .... Yea, some people sweat more than others. That's genetics. From…

This brings me back home, so I've got to savour. It's aaa m a z i n g! Bonnat Chocolate Bittersweet Dark Chocolate 75% Cocoa

Seriously awesome, mate! Keep it going!

Brilliant idea! I stopped doing heavy "lifting" when I was nigh on hernia stage doing leg presses of 186 kg. That's when I was 11 st 11. I'd built myself up over the course of a year and was doing great until that one day. Scared me a bit, that, so I took hiatus. Easily done, I suppose, but you've convinced me to go the…

There's your lesson learned then, yea? If you deprive your body, then it will fight back and you won't like those results. Based on your most recent post, it appears that patience is what needs to be accomplished more so than weight loss, right? Let's start there.

And look how happy you are!

Oh good heavens all, let's not get so riled. The calorie deficit whilst eating regular foods to see if I could reach my min BMI is simply an experiment. I'm 1.7m or ... 5'8". I wasn't looking to achieve a crack gap (still makes me laugh), but it appeared a day or so ago. Because of this, I was wondering if anyone else had…

Wow, that is amazing!!! Keep up the brilliant work!

I'm laughing tears, you guys are hilarious! Few years ago, I wanted to see if the whole "show me a fat fruitarian" was true. I actually got "fat" off of fruit. Goes to show the concept of calories in/calories out was true. Beginning this year, I wanted to see what a calorie deficit with rather proper eating -- you know,…

Thoroughly enjoying the comments here! Actually ... yes? I don't get, erm ... moist when I sit? Didn't need to know that? Probably not. And yes to another, I thought it odd that I felt an odd draft yesterday. Now I know why. For all the others, no it's not anorexia and part of my daily exercise are lunges, squats but all…

This thread is hilarious. YES, protein can help you "lose" weight by making you feel full for a longer time. Because of this, you've less of a reason to eat. With less reason to eat, then you've a better chance of a calorie deficit. Of course, the deficit is what will truly create the weight loss. I think that's what you…

I know, I know, sounds a bit odd. Thanks for the support, confused as it may be. Bit of a surprise to me as well. Yes, completely serious. Sounds a bit camp (sorry, I'm not ... not sorry of that though ... you know what I mean) but it was such an odd achievement that I had to share. Based on response, I'll assume this may…

Perhaps try creating meals the night before. Start packing them into containers and tell yourself that you'll eat one at a time throughout the day. I'm sure you'll feel hungry for a couple of days what with your habit being an over-eat at one meal and an under-eat for all the others, but that should level itself out…

Good beers (e.g. IPAs, stouts, etc) and avocado. Together is also good.

1. Eat pizza 2. Wait an hour or two 3. Go exercise You can have your cake/pizza and exercise, too.

Most meals are 200. Snacks/tea are usually ~100. Meals and snacking happen ~12 times a day.
