TrickyDisco, Tazzy.

Sorry, I didn’t know. Thanks for letting me know.

🙂

Thanks Tricky

Interesting that other people vary so much overnight weight-wise. For example, this morning I woke up and was 16’7, yesterday at 8pm I was 16’11 and since then I’ve drunk 2 pints, eaten a heap of protein and some oat biscuits and humous.

it’s to do with the gravitational pull of the moon. In same way that it effects tides is also has an effect on the water in your body meaning that you effectively become heavier or lighter depending on the time of day and the moon phase

I do have a few questions, is it purely a low GI diet?

It’s low insulinaemic. Some things are low GI but promote the release of insulin eg milk. The fruit thing is to do with the way fructose is metabolised – has side-effects that are undesirable for weight loss afaik.

Should always weigh yourself first thing in morning

excellent- seeing as no one has queried my made up moon phase weight fluctuation bunkum I’m now going to market and sell a moon band diet system based on tuning the wearer into the lunar cycle so that on their “heavy gravity” days they can eat what they want as by the time they get to the “light phase” it’ll show no effect and they can wear a nice wrist band with a moon picture on it.

I’ll be rich I tell ya RICH!

mwahahahahaha

Cheers Molgrips, I will just stick to the rules in that case.

What? Sounded plausible to me 😉

I’ll be rich I tell ya RICH!

There’s no money in it 🙂

Deadly, that last Czech bounced

Send more money and I can make me rich.

Follow me

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?

No mate…just living with my paunch for now.

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 miss 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.

Kev

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.
