Everyone else on the diet - does your pee stink?
Nope. It's not zero or low carb. It's not ketogenic if you do it right although if you don't have enough carbs around the riding you do then it might end up that way. I was able to test my pee for ketones which helped.
OK for a third time and final time - is the iDave diet safe? I'll take a lack of response as confirmation that it is not safe.
no, it smells like pee, a few bad smelling farts in week one but that has gone
no other side effects to report
why would this change in food regime be unsafe?
And the troll is well and truly fed...

Definately not, it gave me cancer, an extra toe on one foot and my pee was quite smelly one day
SBZ, Tell us what makes you think it is not safe ?
Kev
Keva - see above.

It's safe.
HTH
Prove it.

LoL @ Don Simon.
Excellent edit of the original post.
😉
😆

How about you prove it's not safe. I'll take lack of a considered proof to indicate it's fine.
iDave- careful with SBZ, like arguing with all idiots he'll drag down to his level and then beat you with experience.
Looked at the iDave diet and it makes sense, similar in principle to a couple of other eating/training systems that I use.
SBZ how can it be unsafe? it's not a calorie restring diet, it doesn't promote ketone formation like the fatkins diet and the lack of dairy isn't really a problem as human ability to metabolise sugars in milk as adults is only a recent evolutionary genetic kink and many people still can't do it hence lactose intolerance.

Diet going well so far, should these be avoided?
Soya Milk
Sweetcorn as vegatable
Seeds inc peanuts/monkey nuts
Maltodextrin
Avoiding diary has worked wonders for reducing nasal mucus - sorry if too much detail.
Thanks
have got a fab recpe for lentil and chilli soup if anyone wants it. Easy to make and will do about 3 days worth of lunches and a chickpea burger one and one for spicy bean casserole (goes very well with chickpea burger, but may require a personal carbon filter on the pant region afterwards)
tazzymtb - yes please, burger sounds nice.
I can't see how it'd be unsafe as the stuff it cuts out is either not nutritionally significant or provides stuff that you can get from food that is on the diet.
I actually feel better on the diet than I did before. It's now 12.30 and I feel fine despite having had no carbs to speak of this morning. Previously I'd have been on my knees by this time.
Last night I dumped everything I had vaguely chilli, tomato or bean related into a huge put and simmered. It was nice, cheap and there's tons of it 🙂
Anyone tried making [url= http://www.food.com/recipe/gluten-free-chickpea-chapati-indian-flat-bread-189336 ]Chickpea Chapati's?[/url]
My lunch consists of this

Nice and easy. About 700 cals tho in total, 45g carb and 50g protein
No, but I want to try.
tazzy's chickpea burger
ingredients:
400g tin of chickpeas
chickpea flour (also sold as gram flour)
onion
clove of garlic
red chilli
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste.
dash of olive oil/fry lite
Take a big bowl and put the drained can of chikpeas in.
mash them up with a potato masher (no need to cook them)
add finely chopped onion, red chilli and a clove of crushed garlic
give it another quick mash, then add a heaped table spoon chickpea flour and a beaten egg to the mix.
use a desert spoonful at a time to make into little balls and then form in burger shapes ( it can be a bit sticky)
fry in a little oil over a medium heat until crisp
takes about 10 - 15minutes and they'll keep in fridge for a couple of days once cooked.
Nice one Tazzy.
Some excellent posts coming now.
LoL at the carbon filter comment 😀
Would like the lentil chilli soup, if its not too much trouble.
😉
I've got my whole street on it. They think there's some kind of diet guru living behind the green door just by the arches. I'm making a bloody fortune. And iDave isn't complaining about the commission cheques either.
You are getting them aren't you dude?
Some great chickpea bread recipes out on the interweb
Hi there I am intrested in this and what it consists of as want to shift a bit of timber
Sorry to be a pain but could some one email me the rules fore the diet to reg.pollock at matherjamie .co. uk
Thank you in advance
Tazzy's easy lentil and chili soup
ingredients:
tin chopped tomatoes
250g dried red lentils
1 onion (red is very nice)
1 chili or easy chili paste (scotch bonnet is good)
vegetable stock cube
pint of boiling water
olive oil or similar
salt and pepper to taste
(optional extras include a red pepper and a carrot to be added at the first stage)
take a large pan (this thing will increase in volume like buggery during cooking)
finely chop the oinion and chilli and gently fry over a medium heat until soft and just browning
add the dried lentils and stir like a loon for a minute to stop it catching on the bottom of the pan but the lentils will start to absorb the flavour.
add the chopped tomatoes and stir well, then add the stock cube, water and season.
reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 40 minutes giving it a quick stir every 5-10 mins.
final taste and season if required and it's all done.
If you've used the carrot and pepper addition you may want to blend it at the end, but the normal version doesn't need it

Mate, that link might not be cool with iDave.
Tazzy. Thanks for the soup.
;-D
I've been doing it for about 2 weeks lost about 3kg, its been great the best thing is its not very hard to stick to.
I do have a few questions, is it purely a low GI diet? There are things on the don't eat list that aren't particularly high gi, such as some fruit, I am happy to stay away from them if they really are important to stay away from but can I apply some common sense to the rules and look up the GI and if it is low can I eat it ?
Hi Don,
Can I possibly get a copy of this diet please?
Email should be visible in profile
many thatnks in advance!! 😀
kind regards
John
TrickyDisco.Mate, that link might not be cool with iDave.
he posted this direct a few weeks back
http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/and-now-the-end-is-near-idave-diet-flounce-lite-content
solo- iDave posted the diet up there as he was getting a bit stressed about being asked for copies of it and then having to argue with buffoons about it
EDIT: tricky beat me to it
paddyanddre1978
see the link i posted
TrickyDisco, Tazzy.
Sorry, I didn't know. Thanks for letting me know.
🙂
Thanks Tricky
Interesting that other people vary so much overnight weight-wise. For example, this morning I woke up and was 16'7, yesterday at 8pm I was 16'11 and since then I've drunk 2 pints, eaten a heap of protein and some oat biscuits and humous.

it's to do with the gravitational pull of the moon. In same way that it effects tides is also has an effect on the water in your body meaning that you effectively become heavier or lighter depending on the time of day and the moon phase
I do have a few questions, is it purely a low GI diet?
It's low insulinaemic. Some things are low GI but promote the release of insulin eg milk. The fruit thing is to do with the way fructose is metabolised - has side-effects that are undesirable for weight loss afaik.

Should always weigh yourself first thing in morning
excellent- seeing as no one has queried my made up moon phase weight fluctuation bunkum I'm now going to market and sell a moon band diet system based on tuning the wearer into the lunar cycle so that on their "heavy gravity" days they can eat what they want as by the time they get to the "light phase" it'll show no effect and they can wear a nice wrist band with a moon picture on it.
I'll be rich I tell ya RICH!
mwahahahahaha
Cheers Molgrips, I will just stick to the rules in that case.

What? Sounded plausible to me 😉
