Oooops - brain not engaged but you obviously haven't read any of the posts saying which plan I'm on. Should have said [i]it's only a max of 6 days without high GI and highly processed starcy/floury/sugary carbs[/i]....obviously 🙄
Bit 'touchy' this morning idave ?
Noticed that after a curry last week with rice and nan bread. Felt uncomfortable for hours afterwardsYou can feel the difference in how bloated you feel afterwards compared to rice
I always feel incomfortable for hours after eating a curry, from a curry house. because it's full of shiittee!

Really? What shite?
OK, here is what I just learned.
While I am on this diet my exercise stamina is fine, I've done my usual running and weight training and felt fine, however today for lunch I had 3 pints and I am feeling hammered. This is perhaps an added bonus, It's going to be a cheap night for me tonight
[i]Really? What shite? [/i]
too much sugar, salt and fat
plus msg, food colourings and probably loads of other additives.
Lunchtime beer is stronger than evening beer.

I thought you're supposed to not drink calories?
I thought you're supposed to not drink calories?
As was mentioned earlier today is my day off, and I am on a mission to put on 5lbs
Ahhh, binge drinking...I like your style... 8)
maybe you're following an sfb diet
my suggested diet is eat whatever you like, just not too much :o) I eat about 70% carbs!
Well.....drumroll please........4lbs lost.
Not sure how happy I am. Have been strictly to the tenants of the plan for a week, plus got a run in and 3x 25milers on the bike. Will see what happens next Monday, as for initial weight drops I have seen similar when dieting in a regular fashion.

I was as shocked as you were Nick 
Where's everyone gone?
Anyway, after a couple of false starts, I had another go starting last Sunday. Haven't been as strict as I should, but I've lost 4-5lbs already - although my "fill yer boots" is tomorrow, so they may change things.
Have had pasta (and tuna/pesto) immediately after a couple of rides, plus ... the odd packet of crisps, a choccy biscuit, a fair few lentils, two tubs of humous, loads of veg and salad (including tomatoes), about 15 eggs, some salami, a fair amount of cheese, a cod fillet, some bacon, some veggie burgers, some nuts (and dried fruit), and loads of water.
Quite impressed thus far, even though like I say I haven't stuff rigidly to it. I guess avoiding the white carbs/starches and fresh fruit has helped. Intend to stick with it for another couple of weeks to see what happens, then probably do some mix n match.
How's everyone else doing?
Was resonably strict for about 9 or 10 days and lost 8lbs, yesterday, today and tomorrow I will be eating non stop as im doing the oxfam 100k trailwalk along the south downs and will need the energy. Back on it from monday.
The gf is doing this also and has lost half a stone or so
I've been on it for two weeks and I've lost about 5-6lbs.
I'm going on holiday for a week though so diet is probably out the window.
I've learnt a fair amount about different foods, i'd never cooked with beans or lentils before, overall its been a very positive experience.
When I come back form holiday I'll probably go back on the diet but I might cheat a little by eating fruit again, as I really miss it
Anyone got a link to the plan?
I've been on it for two weeks and I've lost about 5-6lbs.
Should be similar over here. Impressed some have lost 8lbs in a 9-10 days. I had my off day yesterday...it was carnage.
Anyways, weigh in on monday for the second full week. Hoping tp see another 3-4lbs dropped otherwise might switch to something else as been strict as anything on it.
Still no weight loss for me (we will see on Monday AM tho) but I've almost lost 1" from my waist in the last 6 weeks or so!
Jamie, don't give up if you haven't lost 3lbs a week. That's extreme weight loss.. 1-2lbs a week is still very good going.
Some of you have been doing really well! I'm impressed. 😀
I posted in another thread about my fruit intake. It has always been quite considerable especially with the British raspberries and strawberries in season. Have now cut out fruit completely (apart from one day) and have not experienced hunger/weakness/lightheadedness.
Haven't managed to give up my few carbs though but am really enjoying loads of fresh vegetables.
Any one got any ideas of what else to do with spinach?
Make salads with it?
Don't forget this is NOT A ZERO CARB DIET.

Hit up [url= http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/ ]bbcgoodfood.com[/url] and search for spinach. This website has been a godsend for me on this plan, type in lentils and boom! loads of recipes I never knew existed.
Hi Folks!
First post, I have emailed idave direct to get the diet plan direct, was the right thing to do!?
Need something to help me shift the extra timber!

My missus made a spinach+feta cheese+raisin+filo pastry "bake" of some kind last week. I think it's north African? Recipe could be online - check out BBC food, etc.
Tasted great - very light but also kind of filling (well, after seconds and a bit of thirds it did :-))
Good link there Jamie, thanks. 8)
That pastry bake sounds good too. Is pastry allowed ❓
I quite fancy a pop at this what's the plan stan?
Pastry contains flour, so refined white carbs. So no.
alexxx with lots of x's was 'responsible' for mailing out. Don't pester iDave with it, it's not 'his' plan, and he doesn't really want to get that involved mentoring everyone and asking all our questions but dips in every now and then in a mardy sort of way. 😉
And whatever you do don't respond to any of SFB's posts.

my keyboard has magically flipped to US format so I keep putting @ for " and ALT-GR e isn't a letter 🙁

LOL I think the only thing 'allowed' in there is spinach if you count feta as dairy
To remove US from the setup, go to the language section in the control panel. There's a hot-key for switching it, and there's also a system tray thingy but that can be disabled. Best thing is to just remove the US one.
I use alt-130 on the keypad. I didn't know alt-gr-e worked.
ééééé
How do you get ê and è using alt-gr?
molgrips are you still being the control, i.e. dieting heavily on a conventional diet + bike exercise? I'm enjoying how you have embraced this.
I am the still the 'control' yes. Although dieting heavily is putting it rather generously 🙂 I am eating as little as I can manage whilst doing my training, so I am putting my faith in exercise really, and eating for cycling ie high carbs etc.
Just helping out the iDave folk as best I can still 🙂 I don;t think his diet's bad at all, I'm sure it works. The reason I'm not on it is that I can be a funny eater, but mainly because I think I need the carbs to train.

thanks, so I've just been told! Although it worked instantly it wanted me to reboot 🙁

beats the hell out of me, éóáúÉÓÚíÍÁ€ is all I can find, and ALT-130 doesn't work on mine!
You typing 130 on the numeric keypad?

Week 2 for me ended yesterday- 14:10, down from 14:13 at the end of the first week, and 15:6 at the start. So only 3 lbs lost for the week.
I'm not feeling the need (habit I guess) to continually snack anymore, which is great, had two (not particularly difficult) nights out on the bike this week, and don't seem to have suffered. Blowout day on the Saturday wasn't the huge thing I thought it would be, didn't feel the urge to binge. Couple of bits of cheese on toast, 2 milkshakes, steak and chips, two beers.
Not too bothered about tomorrow's to be honest, but it's in the plan, so guess I got to suffer..
You typing 130 on the numeric keypad?
I'd forgotten that bit!
10lbs in 2 weeks is excellent, well done.
I've found the same on blowout day and don't have much except pasta or rice with curry. I did also succumb, on my non-blowout day, to the temptation of a fairly huge black pudding supper from the chippy when I passed through Jedburgh on Monday.

Ok been on for 1 week now. Trying my best to mtfu and stick it but have managed one or two minor slips everrday.
For sweets, I found the ryebread free from cake in sainsbury's very good and i think it's allowed (if you pick off some of the sweetened ginger bits).
Getting a bit sick of beans now. and omelettes.
But at least today has been my normal food day.
Oh and I never eaten so much meat in one week before! thats been good.
Blowout day on the Saturday wasn't the huge thing I thought it would be
Heh...I nailed porridge/large Dominos pizza/2x Boxes Cookies from Sainsburys yesterday. Felt kinda bad after the pizza tho, so did 20miles on the bike.
