The diet advice is free but I own your first born.
Deadly are you actually doing the diet then, as mentioned in a previous thread?

Stop press.... Prolonged use of the iDave diet will have serious health implications and you may look like this!
SBZ was correct 😯
iDave already does look like that.
What was the verdict on these:
Soya Milk
Sweetcorn as vegatable
Seeds inc peanuts/monkey nuts
Maltodextrin
should these be avoided?
SBZ is "der weiße Engel". I claim my £5
😉
I think nuts and seeds are ok, maltodextrin is ok for riding fuel but not otherwise (obviously), sweetcorn is ok but I am not sure about soya milk.
I believe that Soya milk is sweetened with apple juice.
Its much sweeter than cows milk anyway.
So, on that basis..... Probably give it a miss.
I second Molgrips observations. I've been eating like this for quite a while now, since last year.
One, I just don't get hungry between my 3 squares, and I certainly never [i]miss[/i] the sweet stuff.
Although I do indulge in a bit of choc or whatever, on the one day in six.
ITS ALL GOOD !!!! and its ability to do what it says, err, on the tin.
Is for me, indisputable.
I feel like I should have paid someone for something.
😀
BTW, at the moment, I'm "on the road", have been for a few months now.
No kitchen or food prep facilities to hand as I stay in a Travelodge, so that makes it a bit more difficult.
Time perhaps to start up a low GI take away food chain, like Subway, McDs.
One could sell chick pea burgers with complimentary carbon filter.

@ molgrips - thanks, according to wikipedia peanuts are a legume so assume ok.
Yeah but they are very calorie dense and also salty, so you can have some but go easy.
What's the lerdict on diet soft drinks?
Yes or no...
calorie dense and also salty
indeed, only raw natural nuts for me, I've got to have a pint of lager with salted peanuts, so def off limits.
diet soft drinks
not idave diet related but I wouldn't go near aspartame or other art sweetners, messes with your mind.
Diet soft drinks are nasty chemical gunk, and if you drink them your brain is still fooled into thinking it's got something sweet so it might make it hard to kick the sweet habit (if you have one).
the possible link to alzheimer's is enough to put me off, have a full fat coke on your day off if you miss it.
believe it or not cold fizzy water helps if you're having a sugar craving, or have a black coffee instead.

Espresso works for me but I can only drink about 3 a day, otherwise I'm in a bad way. Shame cos I'd be necking it otherwise.
Actually enjoying green tea for the first time ever.
black chai tea is lovely as it's got cinamon and all sorts of spicy bit in it. Twinings do a tea bag version which really rather dapper
Can't find decaf espresso in tassimo form here in Germany.
Thinking of embarking on this, what are you guys having for your breakfasts?
Breakfast is easy. Sausage, bacon and egg.
Usually for breakfast I'll have eggs, lentils/beans, spinach or asparagus, bacon. Sometimes I have leftovers, chili, steak, whatever.
But the usual is eggs, beans, veg and meat of some sort.
But not baked beans?
fuel on big ( 6 hour plus) rides is the problem for me.
at the mo i'm having jam sarnies or bananas every hour but i'm not convinced that this is the best thing.
ideas ?
on rides you can have simple carbs - says so in the plan.
it says simple carbs though doesn't it ?
not that i want to talk anyone out of saying that i can have sarnies 😀
Beanz 😀
For long rides the simpler carbs the better I'd have thought, as it gets the energy to where it's needed with the minimum demands on your system. Digesting sandwiches etc can take energy so your body won't do it if you are diverting all energy to your legs. So it's drink, gels or bars I reckon.
All AFAIK of course.
I carry some pencil graphite, and a battery with some electrodes to electrolyse the water into hydrogen and oxygen at the trailside. It all gets mixed up in a bowl. You should see me fly.
Can I have Potato Dauphinoise after a ride? With my Steak?
No, but lentil dauphinouse is nice. For a true gourmet experience, you could try Borlotti Dauphinouse.
Too late.
Aah I get it. After a little research, it turns out that white bread [b]is[/b] a simple carb - just a refined simple carb.

Breakfast is easy.
Pork chop on the Foreman grill. Broccoli and cauliflower in the microwave for 3.5 minutes.
Job done.
Tarka Dal type curry for me tonight. Loads of red lentils, chicken, onion, garlic, tomatoes, garam massala, other spices (I just chucked stuff in without paying much attention frankly, any schwartz jars with an orange top are fair game for my curries!) served up with cabbage and a side of green lentils as my gf wasn't sure about them. Blurdy loverly.
Just set up the wii with wii fit in my digs, so can track weight over a long period by weighing every day and it should give us a graph of weightloss (hopefully a bit of loss). Should be a bit more empirical than 'oh I feel a bit better'. My weight is the lowest it has ever been since about 14, being 22 now, at 13 stone 3, so very happy with that considering I'm a fairly broad and strong person at 6''2'. Now aiming to reduce body fat on this diet a bit, and the gf is trying to do the same, but starting from a slightly less fit position.
Good breakfast ideas up above, stuck to mostly eggs/bacon so far, but will be looking to have more complex meals like proper bits of meat/vegetables. Not started on beans yet but they are to come in the next food shop this weekend.
Back to 86 this morning. As predicted, the gain over the weekend has gone quickly enough.
My knees are also now really thin.

Sounds better than the omelette I had. A cheese-free omelette just isn't the same.
However if you already exercise a lot and eat well and need to shift 5-10kg (like me) then you need to be cleverer, and this is how you do it.
I don't understand - if you're in shape and you have a good diet, why are you all overweight?
Is it simply an age thing - has eating whatever you liked in no moderation when you were younger finally caught up with you?
I accept that everybody has different natural body builds - if that 10lbs or whatever is so hard to shift why is that?
I only ask because I am curious and would like to know how many years I have left before I am only allowed to have my favourite foods (cheese, chocolate, cake, chinese) once a week for the rest of my life ❗
[i]Is it simply an age thing - has eating whatever you liked in no moderation when you were younger finally caught up with you?[/i]
no.
just stood on the scales and I'm 65kg this morning... fully dressed in cycling gear including shoes and wearing a fully laden camel-back holding 2litres of water, food for the day, spare tube and tools.
not a bad weight for a 42year old 😉

I don't understand - if you're in shape and you have a good diet, why are you all overweight?
I often wondered this. I came to the conclusion that there was more to it than simply calories in vs calories out. That there was some other mechanism that was causing my body to resist giving up its fat stores and want me to eat carbs.
Turns out that that is what insulin does. The more carbs you eat the more insulin your body produces which (amongst other things) causes your body to use more carbs instead of fat and also lay down more fat.
Switched to the iDave low insulin-creating diet et voila, the weight evaporated of its own accord.
There's more involved than just insulin though I think - each person's hormone profile is different which is why some folk never have this problem.
Getting old isn't necessarily a problem though if you tend towards skinniness. My 65 year old Dad was getting a bit tubby around the waist over the years - then he re-landscaped their garden and it all disappeared within a couple of weeks!
Day off tomorrow! I have quite the feast planned, I already know what all three meals are going to be, muchos nommagos. It does make it easier knowing you only have x days until that reward. And I hope hope everything will taste all the better for it too.
Leftovers for dinner tonight, all the extras from the week defrosted. Curry, chilli, and another curry with a big pile of cabbage/broccoli and carrot in the middle.
I had cake x 2, chinese, steak, 3 bowls of cornflakes, toast, crisps, kitkat, snickers. All good stuff....
You've set the bar high there iDave! I've got 2 slices of toast with my bramble jelly i made in the summer, a whole baguette with brie and bacon and boursin, washed down with a milkshake, then for dinner carbonara, followed by beers and mini-eggs from easter, and if I can stomach it, some of my mum's cake. My stomach won't know what hit it!
