iDave diet, who done it?

Er.. for racing? no way.. you’d probably get lynced

Also.. if you’re not used to riding in a group/bunch then beware. Lots of tri guys turn up at these things that can’t ride for toffee: not holing their line in chicanes.. moving out without looking etc)

TSY can give you his unbiased opinion

Haha… you say I don’t need to, and I’d say that I’ve got more to lose than you. Still think you should give the diet a go though, but without thinking it’s low carb. That and you should probably eat stuff that has had eyes or fur.

I reckon I need to pick up some fast group social rides before hitting the race scene. Only had a road bike for a couple of months!

I was gonna say, I would hope not 🙂 I’d be a little concerned about the bunch riding thing.. I mean I can handle a bike and I’ve done a few group rides, but not many.

Yeti potatoes are out, have you learned nothing?

Pop out for a few hours and miss several pages…..you lot have been busy.

Oh and TSY, stop bitching. You weight is fine for your height.

DGOAB:

Until then its carb and chocolate and biscuit heaven for me!

Step into my office:

Never!

Step into my office

That’s the best offer i’ve had all day! 😀

*sent from my sofa where i’m eating pasta nom*

I wish I had a decent climbing wall near me.

Bah.

….and humbug.

They must have one somewhere near you? Doesn’t the Uni have one?

There’re 4 not too far away from here? 😕

Shall we see who can climb the longest tonight yeti?! 😛

Only one local is a converted squash court and is pretty poor, plus last time I went the guy running it was a nob.

Shame as I am awesome at it 8)

heh… Total meters climbed? Toughest route topped out?
I’m reckoning I’ll last two hours but I won’t be doing any of that half hearted standing around belaying someone rubbish, I’ll be hard out bouldering until I rip through the skin on my fingers.

Lol. 3 hours of climbing and belaying ripped my hands to shreds last time….and its not half hearted when i have to be clipped to a sandbag for belaying and catch mustard three times in a row! We’ll see whats hardest in june! I don’t know how we can measure tonight given the distance between us though, and you might be finished before we even start tonight!

Intervals. Hard when you do them, feels like nothing when you stop, and then when you get home and have a shower it hits you.

Read in the Standard tonight that Jensen Button weights 72kg and is 6 feet tall. Now that’s lean 🙂 I’m the same height and did manage 78kg once back in the day, currently 86kg 😯

He’s only diddy though…

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.

become tour rider

Balls. What to do now.

Contador 1.77 62kg 😯

I’d call that ill.

Dinner: Steak, salad and NUCLEAR coleslaw!!!!

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 tonight. Is that allowed?

I had pasta too! iPasta made from chick-pea flour.
Was ok, but has room for improvement.

If I had a pound for every iDave diet post…. 😀

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…

If I fold next week and start eating pies, can you pretend you never saw this post please?

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.

In Scotchland on hols.

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 😛
