[Closed] iDave diet, who done it?

[i]I have not posted the after pics yet no[/i]

It will be too much information, and you will feel dirty and used afterwards.
😉

Solo i know...need to do it properly but in the meantime i'm reverting back to my old (pretty healthy) diet.

i need to email idave and deadlydarcy about ichosen one stuff anyway but i've been too busy [s]keeping TSY in check which is an extremely hard job*[/s] resting and force feeding myself lentils and beans. tbf, i have issues with being run down/low in iron as i don't eat meat anyway.

Mol...the high carbs around exercise is what i need to work on, and total calorie intake too. I had loads of pasta last night and i feel so much better this morning as a result.
Phil, yes i have been resting all week and usually have a good 3/5 days rest/taper before racing. Everyones different though and as a female as said i already have iron issues and other such stuff. Edit after your edit...yes i meant a few days off the diet and back to my old one. The resting for once, i have sorted 🙂

*but one i love* *accepts jaffas with a secret smile*

you will feel dirty and used afterwards

*is looking forward to it almost as much as having Darcy measure my fat content*

Mol...the high carbs around exercise is what i need to work on

I find it very easy. Finish ride, go to fridge, grab cold Coke - enjoy 🙂

Iron issues btw could be exacerbated by cutting out fruit. Fruit really helps iron absorption.

Well.. i'm not completely strict, although I don't touch bread or pasta anymore and don't miss it.

I can't stop the chocolate every now and again. I seem to have got to the point where i'm not losing anymore. I sit between 69-70kg (was 75 in dec)

just knocked up some gram flour pancakes. pretty good idea if you're struggling for ideas for packed lunches for work etc, they make ideal wraps.

got the gram flour from the wholefoods stall in the local indoor market which might be an idea for sourcing the stuff if you don't have an Indian grocers in the neighbourhood.

Disco.. we need more vital stats than that [s]ASL[/s] height, waist, chest?

5'9.. 33 er.. not sure on chest. I'm not a B cup I know that 😉

TrailMonkey.

Them flat breads are on my "to do" list.

When I get back home..... eventually.

*taps foot impatiently waiting for jaffas* can you hand deliver them please? i'll cook up a lovely high carb diet for you as payment 🙂

TrickyDisco.

Another iDave diet success story.

I hope you're happy with the results.
😀

Dgoab.

Here, have mine.

Aw that's not fair. It's bad enough talking about them and now this.

Show some sensitivity, there are iDieters on this thread.

Surely Jaffas are a good pre or post ride food though Mol?
Better than coke I reckon!

Cheers Tricky, I'm an inch taller and inch or two thinner. I reckon I've got a kilo or so to go.

It's a long old drive to you DirtyG... be there around 11?

I actually never did it to lose weight (because i was never big anyway)

My main aim has been to get leaner and improve my cycling ability (power to weight and fat burning)

I was told by my coach (god that sounds fancy but he's the guy that has put together my training plans) that it was a combination of training and diet that has helped loads. I wouldn't have seen the improvements by training alone...

he tested me the 2nd time round and found my body prefers to use fat as a source of energy than carbs*(back in december he told my fat burning potential was terrible.. I remembering him saying at my base ponint 43% of my calories was comnig from fat.. it's now 84% )

😳

I never liked them, pre iDave.

ah sorry

age: 33
waist is now 30 🙂

Sorry Mol....fwiw i've been almost sugar free for a few weak moments but the most i had was 5 jaffas but its not actually been that hard aside from a few weak moments and needing a sugar fix to get me home at the furthest point of my 100mile ride on sunday when i could've sold my bike and sat at the side of the road for the crows to eat 😥

TSY i hate ms, please refrain from using that again otherwise i shall change my rest/wicked definitions 😛 11...blimey thats ages? *would like the moon on a stick today* 😀

and needing a sugar fix to get me home

DG sounds to me like you really aren't taking enough carbs whilst riding.. this diet is not a panacea for use in all cases, imo....

Gonna give the gram flour wraps a whirl this w/end. Found it on Ocado - which means Waitrose might do it if you fancy turning middle-class for a bit 🙂

Oh btw - had bolognaise last night with what was labelled 'weissbohnen' here in Germany, which I swear were haricot beans. Very nice actually - taste went well with the bol and they were very smooth in texture so not bad at all.

I know Mol...i did say i had some/a lot of work to do to adjust! I would've had sold all my bikes on sunday with the way i felt. Trouble is i struggled with enough carbs during a ride on my old diet but got by ok as i always had enough on my usual diet.

*goes home to more pasta, jaffa cakes and iron tabs*

[i]they were very smooth [/i]

Try freshly cooked cannellini beans then. Way nice.

Spot on !.

🙂

Hmmm... so I might be able to get lighter.

have u got a 6 pack? if not you can go lighter 🙂

* i haven't got a 6 pack

A quick lunchtime circuit training session today has left me unusually starving - my usual lunch disintegrated inside my body before it even reached my stomach so very unlike me I've eaten a huge flapjack this afternoon. It must have weighed nearly a kg and was so loaded with sugar it stuck to the wrapper. I've felt very thirsty and rather sick ever since and now I'm hungry again. I've go two satsumas left in my bag for a 45min xc ride home. Mmmm, think I'll be scouting the ground for morsels of food all the way.

Kev

In my bag for the ride home is two scoops of Torq.

I cooked some chickpeas this morning for a beef bean stew later, thing is I can't stop eating them as they are they seem rather moorish.

1fp.

That stew sounds gooood.

I'm at work til 7pm, then 3 hr plus, drive home. I won't feel like cooking then.
🙁

Getting there but not quite.. thing is I want to be at my lowest sustainable weight. 6 packs seem a little beyond this?

Chorizio Omelette for you tonight then Solo?

I'll let you know Solo 😉

Wondering if chickpeas with a bit of paprika or chilli powder be a good alternative to peanuts.

6 packs seem a little beyond this?

Afaik yes.

Molly?

TSY.

No mate, I never really got into that omelette thing.
Its been a long hard week and I'm ready to wobble off the wagon.
Worse still, I happen to know, that there is a cold can of Heiniken in the fridge, and I can't get the thought of how good thats going to taste, out of my head. Or perhaps a night cap in the form of a glass of red.

1fp.

Thats an excellent idea and you've reminded me about a guy in an office I once worked in who made..... Curry flavoured popcorn.
That was flipping luvly.
might be worth applying the same principal to chickpeas I reckon.
Mix up some dry spices and coat freshly cooked warm chickpeas in said curry or chilli spices. Then allow to cool and dry.
I bet they'd beat the heck out of crisps.
I wonder how that would work out with some of those flatbreads.

Ooh !, the combinations are limitless, its great.

*puts on wingman outfit*

Don't do it Solo! Not unless you've been cheating all day!

Have a nice glass of red tonight and then think about how much better those beers will be with a good curry tomorrow!

Fried Breakfast to look forward to an' all!

TSY.

Is this you ?

[img] [/img]

No need to suit up. Saturday is the designated day off, so the single can of beer in the fridge can wait till then.

Anyway, can't go mad tonight, I'm moving most of my worldly goods into storage tomorrow, so I'll be piloting a transit van in the AM. At speeds somewhat less than Mach 2 and definately not while inverted.
🙂

If you do get inverted you could join [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/car-roll-call-have-you-ever-rolled-a-car ]this [/url] thread 😉 But a safe journey would be preferable 🙂

my weight's not shifting 🙁

stuck at bloomin 68.5kg of [s]lady[/s] lardy boy

My shadow weighs that much 😯

your shadow weighs 8.5kg more than me then Dd 😉

Kev

I'm such a lard arse 🙁 Anybody know of a diet or lifestyle plan I could try? 🙂

TSY - were you querying my suggestion about 6-packs? Isn't the guideline that you need to be about 6-8% to see a six pack? Whereas iDiet will only work down to 10-12%...

Errm, no. I was going to ask you a question... it'll come back to me.

That's me in the shades.
