Started this the other day to help shift a bit of excess timber I’ve been carrying around for a while and currently on day 4.

Not found it too difficult so far and tbh am loving having cooked breakfasts, eggs, fish, omelettes, bacon etc. Evening meals not a problem but finding a suitable lunch for work tricky so will have to work on that.

What’s the deal with sweet potato though, in or out? I guess red and brown sauce and encona hot sauce are out too?

Not an expert, but I think hot sauce is ok. Check for sugar on the label.
Think you’re right about the other stuff being out.
Lunches can be hard, I find myself eating loads of peas and beans.

this might help with lunch, thanks to miketually

Hi Dave, eagerly anticipating the plan. Just wondering if your mail is getting blocked.

Hmm, will check those out thanks iDave.

Had some spinach falafels the other day so hoping those are ok being chickpea as they were very tasty. In the snack section in a local Waitrose.

Yep 🙁 Or at least my mango & sweet chilli is off, also partly due to the mango puree.

sorry to hijack the thread but was wondering after reading a few recent posts if there is a new revised i-dave plan/food guide. the latest one i have is idavediet_rst from april 2011?

I’ve had big email issues and am catching up with the work that pays the bills, before doing the freebies

Technology! Didn’t realise you did it as a business until i followed your link, would be more than happy to pay or make a donation to charity.

iDave – you’ll never get that Bentley if you don’t tell them about the new iDiet slimming t-shirt with diet plan printed on the back!

Can someone send me the plan I emailed dave but had no reply. Liam.doc@hotmail.co.uk

I’ll get the replies out tomorrow. I’m sure you can wait another day with a spare tyre.

Autoelec – the diet sheet is free, its the other stuff that costs.

Thanks, even so I’ll be putting something in the Help for Heroes tin on your behalf.

ilove the idiet……… 8)

How’s it going ton?

I’ve kind of stuck to the iDiet whilst on an iDave training program. I’m lighter and faster now than I have been for a very long time.

Ta Dave.

fantastic mate, lost a stone in the 1st week, and due to get weighed on sunday.
not strayed from the path at all.

How about the cheat day? It’s mine today, it’s been a struggle to eat anything on the naughty list.

i had roast spuds and apple pie and custard on sunday.
then after 7pm on sunday i did not eat anything untill 6am on tuesday when i had some toast.
i was in hospital so had to fast.

I do follow your threads about your heart condition, really hope it comes good. There’s not many people I’d like to ride with of’ve here, you’re one of them. Mainly because I think I could keep up with you. 😀

nice one mate…… 😆

Not together I hope otherwise mmmm 🙂

Hope it all works out for you too, followed a few threads previously.

could someone post the link to the rules doc please?

Basically it’s about eliminating “simple” carbs from your diet, so cut out the sugar, flour, starch, milk and fruit.
Simple carbs are OK during/after exercise and one day/week anything goes.
It’s not “low carb” as you will get plenty of complex (low GI) carbs from beans, root veg, pulses etc.
So think about food replacements – more root veg for spuds, mixed lentils or quinoa for rice, nuts for biscuits, that kind of thing….

..oh and the only form of alcohol is red wine, but if you’re looking to get healthy you’ll be cutting back on the drink anyway won’t you !

thanks, looking forward to giving it a go, god knows I could do with loosing a bit.

Hi Dave, can you email me the plan as well (email in profile). Thanks Nik

Hi Dave, please could I have a copy of your diet too, email in my profile.

Cheers Trevor

Just in case Trevor, I have mailed it over to you.

Just had sheppards pie with carrot and parsnip mash on top. Delicious!

Could someone e-mail the diet to me as well? Ta

Paul

Could someone send me the diet too please? Fighttheburn (at) googlemail . Com
Look forward to seeing it – sounds like a lot of people getting good results.
Has anyone found the initial adjustment overly difficult?

Thanks for the quick response with the latest plan.

Just a quick and probably stupid question (from my nagging wife). Are tomatoes and cucumber ok to eat as they are technically fruit but eaten like vegetables.

Keith.

Interesting stuff here

like gavetheoldskater asked is this a new/revised plan or the just peeps asking for the original one?

Got the email last night cheers, what about fruits such as tomatoes or avocado?

the general rule is the “custard rule”, i.e. if it doesn’t go with custard then it’s OK. More scientifically, anything that does not produce much of an insulin response is OK. This includes tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, lemons & limes.

Don,t eat fruit.I thought we are primates?

We are primates. We also developed a year round fruit habit, with selectively bred fruit higher in sugar than is natural. In the wild, primates eat fruit when it’s in season, not flown in from Kenya in Feb. Fruit in the wild is also much more bitter than the fruit we are told is good for us.

Would you mind shooting the diet sheet over this way?

cheers
