Ok you will have to wait a bit longer to get hero status.

Which one? Don’t take any notice of me, I’m great at programming CNC machine but know bugger all about food. Just what the *experts tell me*

I’ll take you up on that Tom, if you don’t mind waiting at the top of the climbs?

YGM Slim

I’d love to go for a bike ride with Dave and Tom I have a billion and one questions, being a biffer an all.

*edit* Not that I’d be able to keep up

Slimjim I would say idave is right up your alley so to say.

Tom does that mean I can drop the flora and get the Lurpak back out 😉

Now all I need to do I convince my 15 year old that sugar is bad and the wife who is trained by the NHS to get people thin. Might be harder work than converting me.

This has turned very interesting.
Will this ever become public knowledge? So to say as it will require a huge u-turn in public health policy?

I get the whole fat thing, but if your greedy and eat to much fat you will still put weight on?

It’s really simple. Find a way of eating that’s suits your body and run with it.
I’ve found one that works for me, I’m happy. The OP is happy with his way.
Because you think you know about the body or do it for a living doesn’t mean your right or wrong.
Let people do what they want. Technically there is no wrong way if you have the desired result and are healthy.
Basically we still know **** all on how the body works, which is a quote from someone I work with who you address as Prof.

you best get on the phone to the BHF Tom.

Wow tom your my hero *swoon*

These people know nothing about the heart

Oh and fat doesn’t make you fat, sugar/carbs and insulin do.

Shirley to much of any food type makes you fat with the added bonus of heart disease with a high fat diet.

What type of fats should you eat in a high fat diet?

Well said Hob Nob.

I always carry my teeth with me so I can be identified by my dental records.
If you have Dogtag travel insurance you get a nifty dogtag with your details on.

Why who’s s troll?

clicky

The only thing that has ever worked for me.

none you should be on the ifad of the moment

I had it @ 34 not fun, The doctor said take 2 Piriton to ease the itch.

Calories in versus calories out doesn’t work I’m afraid.

Can you tell my body that, I have lost 13lb in 10 weeks using that exact method :s

Keep going Ton, soon we will be able to call 100weight 🙂

19.5 is to big for me, cheers though

The blizzard isn’t the lightest 853 frame out there. I have always ran it with a 120 fork as I felt it rode better with that than a 100.

c) cheap

I could get it repaired, has anyone had it done and how much(ish) would it cost?
But still wouldn’t be able to get that paint job back.

Great news thanks chaps. My worry was changing at Sheffield and then some grumpy guard saying you cant bring that on here.

hehehe @ Troll

Those poncey flour bread things people make to replace bread then have to flavour the hell out of them cus they taste crap.

Right off home now rice, chicken and veg for tea then a couple of hours playing on the bike (looking forward to my post ride biscuits):D toodlepip

I’m not knocking iDave, it works there is no doubt.
It the people who get almost evangelistic about it.
If it works for you go for it. At this moment in time it’s not for me.

did I mention hills?

You can imagine them at work…”oh yeah I’m on the iDave diet, no you wont of heard of it, it is really specialist I eat all sorts of food you have never heard of. It makes me really special and better than you.

throw one here yeti

I love the only way is iDave stuff here. There is more than one way to skin a cat.

I might try that Jon, seems I have wasted a vital way to loose even more weight.

I’m with Gary been using the Myfitnesspal app and have lost 12lb so far, it takes less than 2 minutes everyday to log what I eat. Even if I have something new it take moments to scan the barcode in.
I have reached my goal now. I set a new goal but loosing slightly less each week. The app just re-adjusted my calorie limit.
I don’t see it as a diet as I’m eating all sorts of food, as I always have. Its just a reference for when im being greedy.
Lets call it a food recalibration for the people who are scared of the diet word.

But back to the op I feel faster on the bike than ever. It’s great isn’t it?

I tend to clean my bikes when the rock solid mud on the front mech stops it moving.

Does a bike need to be clean to spot 5mm of float in a bb?

(3) people are far to precious about bikes. Surprise, it will not break if you have mud on the frame!
