Logging out but thank you all for the reply's and advice :)

Thank you!! I am frustrated with all the different approaches and what i'm told i should and shouldn't be doing. I qualify as a trainer in a month and i am baffled as to what i should be advising. As regards to myself i'll just have to keep playing around with things till i find whats right for me. Thanks for the reply x

I thought the same regarding the fats. I normally train 6-7 days a week. I do a lot of cardio, intervals on stair master, treadmill and rower and then machine weights, body weight and free weights. I'm strong lower body wise but i have skinny arms i think due to all the running in the past. I'm looking to work on upper…

Do you find you can still cut having carbs before training? I normally have oats depending on what i'm training or if i'm in a rush i'll have a shake or banana.

I have always heard that to but what i am studying has threw me. I always have protein afterwards but now i'm reading that you should have carbs afterwards to replace the glycogen in the muscles, fats have the highest energy for exercise and carbs shouldn't be consumed before if you are looking to cut fat. These are things…

I'm told to have coconut oil in my black coffee before training and then carb up afterwards.

I don't think it will be directed at you. She probably simply believes her figure is not the ideal shape/way it should be in her head! Not that there is an ideal. I have days i call myself fat but i'm never looking round thinking anyone else is!! There are girls in my gym a lot curvier than me and they look freaking hot!!…

Why doe's calling herself fat offend you?? Her opinion of herself has nothing to do with you!! If you are unhappy with yourself then change it. Just because you view her as skinny doesn't mean she doesn't have her own issue's and things she may want to change.

You have something in your eye!!

He will probably judge you no matter what size you are. You've gone too thin, you've gained weight!! People who feel the need to judge will always find a reason to judge!! His problem, not yours!! Have fun with your friend :)

Yes this. As a former smoker i would smoke after eating, with a coffee and when i was stressed, now i just go for a walk or a run when i'm feeling stressed or just generally bored. I am not addicted to running, i just enjoy it like i enjoyed smoking!!

You are saying sugar in its single form is addictive? do they eat the sugar straight from the tin? No! do they sit and eat bags of banana and grapes till they can not stop? no! You can not compare drugs to sugar. To even do that is ignorant.

Its not addictive, Yes people seem to eat and crave it more once they have a taste for it, Things like cookies, chocolate and so on, but sugar itself is not addictive. You don't hear people say they binged on banana's, grapes and other fruits/sugar!

I mash some berrys into total greek yogurt and spread on an oatcake, or have grapes with almonds or plain old boiled egg.

Years ago when i didn't have a clue and fell for all the crap media b****cks i lost weight eating special k. (Yes i know!!) but that crap is full of sugar!! I lost weight though. Now i do it by eating them devil carbs, protein, fats and even sugar!! There are things i choose not to eat but i don't see where this sugar…

gag! wrong just wrong ;)

Oysters! You forgot oysters, Slimy little f***ers .

I never mentioned too much, i mentioned a meal. one meal from would make me ill, so if it has that affect then its junk.

No not unhealthy!! I am saying a lot of people have ill affects after eating this food if its not eaten for a while including myself, I don't mean oh i feel crap because i'v eaten a take away, i mean ill, bloated, tired, sick. I don't have this reaction from say chicken or veg and so on, so to me and many others it would…

Yes it is! You are missing my point

You asked if fast food is still junk if it is in your goal, you can reach your goal without eating fast food thats what i'm saying. No i am not telling you that you eat junk but you are very vocal about eating anything as long as it is in your macros.

Where are you seeing a blanket statement? and it is not an assumption! He openly admits to eating anything in his macro's.

If you cut out junk for a few weeks and then go mcdonalds you feel the bad effects, Maybe you should cut out junk to understand why it is junk!! You are used to what you eat.

The malteser bunny i seen in the shop earlier!!
