iDave Diet Joinee

people have known for years that sugar is one of the prime causes of weight gain.

Kev

Kev, so why the policy mentions of ‘fat tax’ but no sugar tax?

I know it, you know it, but most ‘people’ go on low fat diets, rather than low sugar diets.

Just got mine. Cheers Dave.
Until I get time to work it out I have 2 questions.
Off out for a day in the hills tomorrow. What can I take to eat? Usual sandwiches are out and my fruit choice is normally apples.Nature Valley bars for munching on
I have a shift cycle coming up over the weekend 2x12hr day shifts and 2 night shifts. Usually start hitting a low by 3am which needs sweet stuff to satisfy! What can I substitute?
Should get started next Mon proper 😆

Trekster, i have been thinking about ride food, when out for the day.
gonna use bags of nuts and seeds for trail food.
tub of hummus and some veg sticks for lunch, pot of olives and cherry toms, portion of chicken breast.
there are plenty of stuff.

Ton.

That sounds good and most importantly, its portable using a few Lock-n-Lock tubs.
Buried in the back pack before setting off.

tub of hummus and some veg sticks for lunch

I reckon that those long red peppers make the best vegetable sticks for scooping houmous into yer gullet. They taste nice and sweet as well :-)….

One thing though, on the new PDF that iDave kindly sent out there’s a link to a recipe for flaxbread. The ingredients for that recipe include wholemeal flour. What’s going on there then? 😕

Oh yeh,and nuts and seeds are in season all year round and contain no sugar.Bullshit.Ton,Brazil nuts are bad for your heart.Avoid.

idave, I only had time to very quickly read the article on the link which you posted, I haven’t yet watched the video clips. I’ll try to get round to them at lunchtime.

Kev

Oh yeh,and nuts and seeds are in season all year round

Nuts and seeds will easily keep for at least a year so that’s a pretty spurious argument. I do agree that they should be not be eaten in large quantities though by someone trying to lose weight as they are very calorie dense.

Brazil nuts are bad for your heart.Avoid

Idave said only eat fresh produce in season.Avoid items flown from the other side of the world.NUTS?

While nuts will keep for a while.
Eating nuts within which the oils and fats have become rancid.
Isn’t a good idea, imo.

I would also echo the remarks above about moderating your nuts.
Me and I believe a few other iDieter / posters, here, I have noticed that eating too many nuts appears to hamper body weight reduction.
So perhaps bare this in mind.

However, in my case, one must view my experience / opinion with respect to my exercise regime and that I am not, by any stretch of the imagination.
An exercise addict.

Can someone please send me the latest version of the idiet. Cheers

You need to watch sugar content of shop-bought hummus. Some are fine, others dump loads of sugar into it 😡

You can make the stuff fairly easily if you have some time.

I know. Its annoying. Companies tipping the sugar in, for profit.

Makes me roll my eyes when I think back to the days when I use to look at the fat content of all my food and disregarded the sugar / carbohydrate numbers.

Still, for me at least.
Better late than never.

“Idave said only eat fresh produce in season”

no i didn’t.

Brazil nuts are bad for your heart.Avoid

Apparently they’re the only nut you can use to sexually infect someone who has a nut allergy.

I-Dave implied that food flown in from abroad(Kenya)and out of season,is a bad thing.Fact.Check his posts.This Christ like figure you all worship can’t even remember the implications of his own posts.I bet non of you eat fresh foods,in season and not flown in from abroad.FACT,Nuts are imported and out of seaon.FACT,Fruit is very good for you and should not be avoided.TON eat fruit and get your vitamin C requirements. Ignore these raft southerners.

Choose your weapon !.

😆

monkey, how did you get your name?
Yes, I eat fresh food in season. Chard from the allotment yesterday, for example.
Nuts are imported, yes, but are generally not flown in becasue they keep well. That’s why squirrels hoard them over winter, that’s why they are still good to eat a year after harvesting.
Fruit is OK in moderation, strains of high-sugar fruit are likely to give the insulin spikes which current thinking suggest are bad for you.
Tell us, monkey, how do Inuit get their Vit C when they don’t eat any fruit? It’s from animal products.

I’m just going to the vegetable garden to collect some veggies for dinner tonight, darling

There’s a new sheet?

Dave…I’m afraid I’m going to send you an email!

Ah, maybe, but the Truth is just the same.

So how come innuit are fat whrn they dont eat fruit and sugar?

Ha !.

Who you calling Fat.. Fattist !.
😆

Well, I’ll have a guess.

Firstly, historically Inuit weren’t fat
But given their prevailing environment, having a little extra insulation can probably be understood.
Also, weight gain in the Inuit is likely attributed to the introduction of the western diet, into their communities.
I’m thinking.
😉

We get our veg delivered by an organic grower Monkey, you might only eat shit veg but that doesn’t mean everyone does. Not every fruit grows in this country or are you growing finger limes yourself.

Ooo, Oooo !.

I’ve just had a thought.

How does being Western Fat, Kill you ?.

I said that other primates don’t have fruit flown in from Kenya (wherever) all year round and that fruit as we are sold it has been cultivated to be sweeter than in the wild or as it was a few hundred years ago. You assumed I was saying to only eat produce that’s in season. I’m not saying I disagree, just saying that I said what I said, not what you think I said.

There are societies that eat no fruit, or eat rice etc where obesity is or isn’t a problem. A big contributing factor is the level of low level activity on a daily basis or none.

Apparently they are fat by selection not due to western diet.

However its thought that much of their vit c came from partially.digested stomach.contents of caribou.

I’d rather have a satsuma

I have the exec version of the diet, cost me a bit more but much better, best paypal tenner Ive spent!

Don’t forget also that being round might be a survival strategy as that shape loses less body heat, as apposed to a skinny Ethiopian who needs to be thin when living in a place where the ambient air temp can touch 50 C.

As for Vit C. I’ve read that they get it from the whale blubber.
the Whale eats the plancton, vit C get tied up int he blubber.
Inuit snack on the blubber.
They cut it into cubes and just pop them in the cake hole.

But as for my Western fat remark.

Is it being fat alone, which kills you ?….

Whale skin i heard

Personally i think animals are able to survive on many foods, the problem we currently have access to too much of everything

Could be the skin, but I thought twas the blubber.
Either way, the Inuit don’t have much of a use for these:

Also, pesonally, I wouldn’t look to other species, such as big cats.
Their bodies do all sorts of different things from us, such as generate their own Vits, while us monkeys cant and so have to absorp them from food.
AFAIK.

As for access.
for us in the west, its certainly too abundant, readily available and often sexed up with sugar, if applicable.

At last,Dave admits it,it’d all down to exercise.Also,the Innuit do not survive on the I-Dave diet and they are capable of trading.Don’t be racist.

No I didn’t and no it’s not. You’re not very good at understanding exactly what is being said are you? Instead of having an opinion and looking for supporting evidence, why not look at the evidence and then form an opinion?

Cheers Ton. I have asthma and therefore an aversion to nuts. Just read the ingredients in the Nature Valley bars I have been using and having a reaction to….contains traces of almonds and hazelnuts! Explains the need for a puff of the inhaler 🙄

Whoa, didn’t intend to open a whole can of worms* with this one but hey ho 😀

Anyway, I’m on week 2 now and have lost about 3kgs so far and can see a marked difference in my body shape (read flatter stomach) and feel lighter too. Not so bloated but then I did eat a lot of brown bread, rice and pasta before.

I’m loving the cooked food for brekkie too & it also seems to keep me fuller for longer. Mackrel fillets this morning. Chuffing like a good un on the lentils though 😆

As an aside & to save me pestering idave by e-mail, does anyone have a copy of the new sheet they would care to ping across to my address in my profile? I’ve been working on a cobbled together version based on forum search history.

*are they compliant?

iDave, any chance getting the up to date version to saleem763@hotmail.com, cheers
