for those of use that don`t know?
AWESOME
Smoke and mirrors.
And how do we find out what it is? 😕
It's not a 'diet' but a way of thinking about what you eat 🙂
My interpretation is you get your carbs from pulses & veggies - no fruit, starchy foods or sugary treats.
High protein, high fibre, high nutritional value foods for the mainstay of your calorie intake.
And one day 'off' a week for a 'normal healthy menu' with carbs/treats as you like.
Some leeway for pre/mid exercise carb hits but only to keep the system charged.
A way of filling a hole in your life. Feeling negative? This is the positive. Feeling scared? It'll take away the fear.
I have lost some weight the first week in. Its less easy when you are travelling (work)in China....
the atkins diet with a different label on 😉

Sounds a bit like the [url=
Diet[/url]... 😆
Deadly, you missed the 'feeling fat and ugly' and 'feeling slow on hills' bits 😉
The is no way that I would use a diet endorsed by Peter Kay Flipiddy.
.. chuffing hard going, for me at least.
I WANT CAKE
I AM WEAK
have cake in a few days MG. In the meantime, don't have cake.
Easy for you to say 🙂
(btw I have not had cake)

I gullibler
I whiner
I ate a whole bag of mini-eggs on Saturday night. Very enjoyable, ta!
I didn't actually eat that much junk on saturday. I started with a latte and a doughnut, and that was all I needed.
I ate 3 double deckers, 3 dairy milks and a box of choccy flapjacks from Sainsbury's on saturday
Very agreeable.
40kg lost so far
Except for the Sainsburys bit that is highly commendable work there Mr Jamie.
All the key nutrients you need to achieve beefcake stature.
i still cant get my head round the no dairy part
why no dairy, is it something to do with the type of fat?
Except for the Sainsburys bit that is highly commendable work there Mr Jamie.
I have been to your '[i]waitrose[/i]', and their choccy flapjacks have something to be desired.
...saying that the ones on Saturday were a bit stodgy.
Oh, and I had 2 creme eggs as well. Festive!
ianp - are you serious???
dairy is low GI, but paradoxically causes an insulin response
😯 @ Ianp and bloody well done ! <edit> just read you blog - fantastic effort 😀
I've been back on it for 4 days now after forgetting about it for the past couple of months. Still about 7kg's lighter than when I started it last year but looking to lose another 7-10kg's after winter laziness.
so its the paradox that confuses me.
thanks for clearing that up.
I'm not perfect on it. Cheat about 3 meals a week rather then 1 whole day as I'm generally unorganised and get caught out at work
40kg lost so far
That's brilliant, well done.
brilliant effort though - keep at it. there is a refined version of the diet, I'll email some details to you (for free DD, no selling of anything 😉 )
I've got my head around breakfast now and more or less managing the diet, but I felt really really sh1t after a 3 hour ride yesterday which I did 3 hours after breakfast and just on water. I ate as per the rules as soon as I got home, but had an hour shivering on the sofa trying not to throw up.
What's the deal with energy gels when riding - allowed or not?
I think I need something with more easily absorbed carbs before a long ride - any suggestions?
Holy cow.. 40kg! Top stuff.
Today my legs are trashed despite taking it easy on the ride in...
What's the deal with energy gels when riding - allowed or not?
Yes, but not as much as their recommended dosage I think.
if you're doing long rides, then use carbs - 90 min before, and during and in the first 20 mins after
I stood on the scales yesterday and weighed in at a whopping 58kg 🙂
Kev
I was 74kg.
The advantage of this, is that I can go out on a windy day, whereas Kev can't.
😀
Lev can use me as an anchor.
Jamie are you iDieting too?
Jamie are you iDieting too?
I am doing elements of this and that.
Mostly the principles of [url= http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=129247741 ]this[/url].
Currently at 74kg and heading down to 68kg well might be more like 70kg due to muscle gains, at a nice steady .5-.6kg a week.
I'm keen to start the diet, but not quite worked out when - just started to race and seeing really good improvements in my training. There's no way i could've done my road race yesterday without my tried and tested carbs/foods - av hr of 191 and i didn't blow up at all! 😀
you still use carbs for long training rides and races DGOAB
Who else is doing this with a view to race performance?
I don't care if it's free. I WANT to pay. How much?
All that you have DD. Bring me your savings, get friends and family to contribute. I can make you feel like you matter. TRUST ME. (how's Molly?)
DGOAB - how was the race then? Sounds as if it went well.
I don't care if it's free. I WANT to pay. How much?
Oh you'll pay. You'll pay alright!
Muhahahahahaha.
Molly's cool. (There's a pic of her on the BT thread)
So, I'm 5'6" and 83kg. Rather svelte with it. What can my money get me?
5'6 and 83kg is not svelte surely? More like stocky..
mol, it was fab, loved it. Hooked now and can't wait to do more. Pleased with my time as much of it ended up being a solo effort after i couldn't hang onto my group and there was no-one else around to work with - my group was averaging 34kph from the start, and after 12k i just couldn't keep up! My average speed was just under 30kph which placed me 17th and made me a happy bunny for my first race! 🙂 Trouble is i was keen on a marathon this year, but can't perform well running and riding - if i'm in training for a running race, my riding goes to pot, and the same the other way so i will have to choose 🙁
Dave, any chance of a copy of this fabled diet?
nickf, I'm now the STW franchisee. You must deal with me.

I was thinking more cuddly.
What was the race format then?
nickf - just send me an email
I did Dave - last week. Same address as your profile, correct?
I was thinking more cuddly.
