iDaves Diet Plan Members…

tor des geants – a 330km run in the alps

cking, email me for info

330km run

How many hours to complete?

EDIT: looked on web site 🙄
150 hrs if anyone else was wondering.

Nice, sounds like a cracking event 🙂

Yes molegrips I understood what you meant by a control, i.e. it's good to have you on board as a control. I have already read some of your criticisms (along with TJ's on the other thread).

anyway i think choritzo and spinach omelettes for breakfast sound pretty good as a starting point.

But as you point-out, nobody is going to make you

that's most extraordinarily kind of you 🙂

and i should say it's not the 'iDave diet'. it's how i eat and it has a sound basis for shedding fat and feeling better. i didn't invent it, i drew from certain things I was aware of and certain new things i learned. i've never been on a 'diet' in my life and i'm not on one now. i just eat differently.

right now, i have a stone to shift to get to fighting weight for an event in september. i have no doubts i can shift it easily by then, but it won't be by avoiding fat and counting calories

Now if you havent alreadly lost a load of weight you are a stone overwight from eating like this? Doesn't seem like a really achievable change in eating habits.

I was going to ask the same Maxray, how come you've a load of weight to shift if you're on this diet/non diet?

To be fair maxray and nickc it is possible to be a healthy bodyweight for every day life but need to lose an amount in order to compete in an event such as the one iDave is going to do.

Would think most athletes have an off season weight and an on season weight.

Yes that is exactly why I'm doing it. What's the problem with that or any other personal reason someone has to have a go?

Have you not got anything better to do than haunt this thread like a bitter old lady?

Now you have done it. Insults are like catnip to simonfbarnes.

any chance of a copy of the info please

I didn't mean it as an insult, more of concern. 🙂

as it happens I'm interested in the dynamics of belief as reflected in this thread. So far bitterness hasn't come into it.

Fair enough, but approaching it from a cynical or negative view point will cloud any results you may come to. Why not give it a go and then see it from a different/ clearer angle? You can always put the weight back on after if you don't want to be thinner.

as I said, I'm interested in what people will believe, not weight loss. Whether it works or not is beside the point.

jeeeysus, your mum must be proud

What, because he's examining how people behave and not handing out unoriginal insults?

he's a patronising ****, its like me signing up to a Christian forum and saying what about buddah, how about the big bang.. ect..

im sure 99.9% of the people on this thread dont give a toss to what he says, its a sorry state of affairs

I see where he's going with it… but I can see how it's annoying.

Personally I think "haunt this thread like a bitter old lady" is a little more original than calling over weight people "porkie". Also you can't really examine anything if you approach it in a bias opinionated way can you?

jeeeysus, your mum must be proud

^^^ that was the unoriginal insult. The old lady one was quite good 🙂

As for Barnes, I think he's commenting on the way that when this diet thing first came up, everyone sort of fell to iDave's feet asking for enlightenment and salvation from all the confusion and struggle they've been labouring over… Ok that's exaggerating a lot, but that's what I think he is getting at!

I think its probably just that time of year where dieting is on peoples minds and it just happened to fit a niche that people were wanting

anyway day 2 and i feel great, not hungry at all, god its a hard life.

Alexxx trust me when I say Barnes is mere shadow of his former self, this is positively chatty for him.

he's asking reasonable questions as well.

alexxx – FWIW I think you are spot on re SFB. I have been following this thread as I have been following a similar plan to the one suggested by iDave for 3 weeks but haven't posted as I'm not on 'this plan'.

His comment "as it happens I'm interested in the dynamics of belief as reflected in this thread" boiled my piss. WTF does he think he is that he can 'study' people. Its all bolox of course, he's just a sad attention seeking ****t who can't bear to be left out, even when his input is neither constructive or wanted.

Good luck to you all BTW, the weight is dropping off me quite nicely 😉

just to clarify, i'm not a bloater, but have a stone to shift to get to the race weight i want to be for the event in September

also to clarify, i had 6 weeks without any training

my apologies for not being like lord adonis

like i said, shifting a stone in 6 weeks will not be difficult

idave, and everyone else………..
i have been reading this thread, and someone kindly emailed me the list of foodstuff and the plan.
one thing that i thought straight away……..this is the atkins diet, or very very similar.
am i wrong??

Sorry idave, wasn't meaning to sound mocking or whatever, misunderstood and thought it was a way of life rather than a crash diet. To my mind subtle changes that are permanent must be a better plan for all the mere mortals on here rather than yoyo style diets which are fine if you need to go from healthy to race trim rather than chunky to healthy.

i did the atkins diet…………….i stunk like a rotting corpse…. 😀

no worries, in my mind it isn't a crash diet at all and weight tends to stabilse when all the fat is shifted.

Yes – plenty of carbs in this diet.

it lookes like it is all protein stuff to me.
very good for muscle growth i suppose.
and wind……….. 😉

" is a little more original than calling over weight people "porkie".

however, it was non specific, and for all you know might apply equally to myself…

Also you can't really examine anything if you approach it in a bias opinionated way can you?

does suspecting people believe things on inadequate justification amount to bias ?

WTF does he think he is that he can 'study' people

He can study us all he likes, so can I or you for that matter.

Ton, the carbs comes from the pulses/legumes (from memory, currently surfing on a painful dongle with poor signal so can't look back to the original post).

Just as long as you don't call it a cult…

it's a secret, you have to be on the list or you're not joining in
No, I don't think its a secret, you just have to mail iDave or someone and ask for a copy.

It may interest you to know that this isn't a Diet for me.

I intend to use what I learn from participating, to compliment my existing eating habits, my existing, daily diet.

However, I am not on a Diet.

Furthermore, I'm not interested in being on a diet. The modern, media fuelled, concept of dieting is complete rubbish, imo. In the same category as the use of the phrase "De-tox".

I am using this to make me think about what alternatives I can come up with, rather than eating stuff that puts weight on me.

I'm a significant part of the way there, already (soup for lunch rather than a sarny), but these ideas just might help tie-up some loose ends in my eating habits.
Intend to prove iDave's suggestions, for myself, by trying them for a few weeks, after which there'll be no harm done, and I'll be, hopefully, a little wiser.

that's most extraordinarily kind of you

SFB. I'm not looking to pick on anyone or get into an argument 😉
Observation is fine 🙂 by me.
If people do not wish to be studied, then posting on an open forum may not be for them.
However, I have felt at times that you're just out to trip people up, catch them out.
As I think you can see, that would be irritating to folk.
But if you think you're going to understand something, then stay with us.

anyway day X and i feel great, not hungry at all,
Yeah, me too. Its no trouble at all.
🙂

Cheers.
