Another one a 1,80m and around71/72kgs here, still some fat to get rid of too.
He's only diddy though...
same height as me! 5'9"
and a million times fitter
I'm feeling quite lardy at 5'7ish / 73kg.
TD - interesting list but you can see who all the climbers are straight away. And in MTBing everyone needs to be a climber.
Dinner btw was a steak crisped on the outside, then peas, asparagus and lentils. Delicious 🙂
My to do list.

Needs chips.
I had pasta tonight. Is that allowed?
Eat whatever you want to eat. Just send a cheque to deadly.
*wonders where deadly is?*
Someone told the Loch Ness Monster that Darcy was part of the iDiet.
🙁

I had pasta too! iPasta made from chick-pea flour.
Was ok, but has room for improvement.
After flip-flopping for a few days about whether I'd actually be disciplined enough, I started the iDave diet on Monday. I'm keeping an open mind, and just interested to try it for myself to see. I'm off the bike with a broken arm right now, so it feels like the right time to wind my poor eating habits in.
I found the first 2 days quite hard, a bit of a culture shock. I could've killed for a chip butty at the end of day 2. Day 3 was hard - someone left 2 trays of biscuits from a meeting right next to my desk all day - somehow managed to hold out and not touch them. Convinced myself to love pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
In a weird way, it's almost as though my body is used to having my insulin levels banging up and down, and it felt like going cold turkey at first. Somehow today has been different, I just felt more comfortable wih it all. The urge to have stodgey starchy carbs is going off.
I'm really bad at cooking/planning, which has been half of the challenge so far for me. Today I made the iDave compliant gram flour flat bread. The first one was more of a flat biscuit due to having the hob too high. I slowly got the hang of it, and the fourth one actually looks/feels a bit like a flat bread. I put that one to one side for my wife, who has very supportively joined me on the diet.
I think I made 4 days sound like a month there! I'm going to give it a good chance, hopefully long enough to change my habits.
Just going to try it for a few weeks and see how I get on. I'm very impressed and grateful that this is provided for free. If I lose weight then I will definitely be making donations!
If I fold next week and start eating pies, can you pretend you never saw this post please? 😯
Good luck Threeek, another few days and you'll be fine. Don't forget to drink plenty of water too...

You can fold for 24hrs on Sunday and stuff yer face with all the pies you can eat. Then back to the iWay from Monday.
+1 drink pints n pints of water. Good hunger pang killer.

Who are you anyway? There use to be someone called James I think, now you come along being all funny and stuff, trying to make us forget about him.

I think it's partly your brain getting used to the carb hit - it does something to it. I suspect there's some metabolic adaption to lots of carbs but I'm not sure.
I also started it just for a week to see how I got on. It turned out to be far easier than I expected 🙂

I killed him.
I ate his liver.
It's ok tho.
As Dave said it's on the plan.
Ahhh... so that's why you've turned up with James' humour to the max.
We'll love you just the same.
Awful week this week with being all over with work and only having options for food with carbs, still back on track last night. My wife is making some cracking stuff that meets the requirements, last night was onion rings made with gram flour batter...
Ahhh... so that's why you've turned up with James' humour to the max.
I wonder if there actually is a James on here?
Anyway, young whippersnapper, don't forget who was here first.*
*Yes I am aware of the tragic nature of this comment.
It's all about who's here most though Jamie!
And who's biggest. I'm biggest 😛
And who's biggest. I'm biggest
...and yet the shyest apparently?

If you dont have an option, is it ok to eat carbs? Or is it better not to eat at all?
Eat the carbs I'd say. If you don't eat at all you'll get out of sync... At least I would.
You have to watch out for the quiet ones!

I did wonder that. As I am assuming there is a certain binary quality of the plan, i.e as soon as you eat too many carbs you are no longer doing the diet. So is that the week written off, or what?
*lurks in Scotchland*
Is haggis in?

No, not really. It's not all or nothing. If you do half the diet you'll get half the effect. So one meal messed up is just one insulin spike which results in a little more fat (possibly) which you can then lose again by continuing to eat properly.

Weird. Mention his name and within minutes he posts.
You have your balls wired up to the internet? Get a little tingle when you name crops up? eh? eh?

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂 Did you manage to get round before it started to rain?
Aw re june 😥
deadly, get to Stafford and I'll sort it from there?
my first weigh in this morning after more or a little less (... yes a couple of beers on some eves but way less booze than i have been drinking. red wine i can't touch or i get a murderous hangover from almost nothing) and stoked with a 3lb loss. even more so as due to a pesky bug and stuff in the week i've had no exercise at all. best bit is that i feel so much better overall.
Gav - I (used to) suffer really badly with headaches after red wine, but now I'm drinking enough water all day every day and funnily enough I don't seem to suffer so badly anymore.
Just thought I'd say.
[i]I wonder if there actually is a James on here?[/i]
Do real world names count ?.
😉
I'm glad I didn't suffer any of the symtoms you lot list, when I started on the plan.
Although its not difficult to imagine one's body putting its parts on if one withdraws the bad carbs.
But as we're seeing, it all settles down again.
Jenson Button 6' and 72 Kg. Hhhhmmm. Not sure I'd want to be that lean. Still, if you're going to strap yourself into a carbon track missile, earn millions and attract the attention of beautiful women.
Err, hang on a minute....
What's the score regarding binging out on carbs/crap in the evening during pig-out day? Based on the belief that eating carbs (in particular) are 'better' for weight loss when processed earlier in the day. Hence wondering if there's a cut-off point to eating the really bad stuff even on a day off ...
Just treat the whole day as fair game. As long as you are not getting up at 4am and going to bed at 3am, you should be ok.
I'm really struggling with the diet today.
It's my day off and I don't really fancy anything that's not on the banned list. I might have to force myself to eat a piece of bread and butter.
That red pepper up there is going to scare some veggies. The "I wont eat anything that's got a face" brigade.
So far: Big omlette, lots of bacon, Snickers, crisps, 2 x Greggs sausage rolls, cake.... not had lunch yet.
