SO I have decided to change the way I eat. I eat too much bread, I eat too much rice and have noticed McHenry is turning into McChubb. This way of eating seems to make sense. Has anyone else done this? I am on about Day 5 right now and my brain is going bread, bread, bread, bread, bread. Hopefully things will start to turn around in a few days ??

Look at this too mate.

Thanks SA, will give it a pass.

My body is hating me right now but I think in the long run it will be better. Certainly from all the research I have been doing it seems to make sense. Your body uses fat for energy instead of carb. You still get carbs through veg and seeds but once that is burned off you burn fat. As opposed to carbs from bread any excess that isnt burned is turned into sugar and fat.

don't go no carbs, go the right carbs

Thats what I am doing, getting my carbs from fruit, veg and seeds (like flax)

Yeah bro I dropped the carbs for a while and went about 80% paleo and was dropping 1-2kgs a week it was good for a while but I found that I was stuggling with my endurance training so have re-added carbs for the 2 days before I do my long training runs and that seems to work OK...dropping weight still just not as fast

Yeah,

I was a bit concerned about that. I read when you first change its a good idea not to do high intensity workouts over 1 hour long. Sometimes I go for Mtn Bike rides for 3+ Hrs. Only time will tell. Right now my body is hating me though.

We don't buy or make bread at our house , I do miss it when I smell toast . We also only have little sugar coffee things for guests we don't buy or eat sugar

I always thought I ate healthy, but doing this has showed me I don't eat nearly enough veg. Eat wayy too many carbs and feel bloated all the time.

Your going to shed kilos ! My misses did it . No problems . The only carbs and sugar I couldn't give up were beer




Protein and veg = loose weight

I just checked out the manshake website. In this day and age can you really make such claims as this

Convenience that works

It's convenient and it works.You will lose an average of 3-5kg a week on The MAN Shake program


I thought that we had tightened the laws on this sort of advertising. There is no reference to anything.

EDIT
Just done some goggling on the ACCC website and found this

What claims are illegal?

It is illegal for a business to make statements that are incorrect or likely to create a false impression. This includes advertisements or statements in any media (print, radio, television, social media and online) or on product packaging, and any statement made by a person representing your business.

For example, your business must not make false or misleading claims about the quality, value, price, age or benefits of goods or services, or any associated guarantee or warranty. Using false testimonials is also illegal.

When assessing whether conduct is likely to mislead or deceive, consider whether the overall impression created by the conduct is false or inaccurate.

I shall follow this business with interest

Mate, I think the Ponds institute did the research

And. Yeah... Broken collar bones make you fat 2 . Who knew ... Specially over Xmas...

I'll be back here in a month looking for diet advice

Apparently they were busy finalising their cure for cancer and developing cars that run on tap water (not the bottled expensive type in the servo)


SP fat - would love to see this I guess its all relative right ? You go from 55kg dripping wet to 58kg I think you will be ok.

Currently doing a similar diet though plenty of chicken and fish, green veges and about 3 cups of rice a day. Also gym work 2 days on, 1 day off. Have gone from 92kg to 85 kg in 8 weeks and feel great. I think the key is plenty of protein, low GI carbs (no sugars) and regular meal intervals, I have a meal every 2 to 3 hours which helps the metabolism kick in too
