Weight / Fat loss

Rocketed 5kg up since I stopped training and stopped eating well.
Need to cut snacks out so badly.

Heads up for MFP users.

This intermittent fasting + huel combo is proving to be a winner for me. Lowest weight recorded since April 2016 this morning! Also sub 20% body fat!

I'm two lbs from going under 13 stone which will be a massive milestone for me, I started the year at 15 stone 1lb. I haven't been this weight for about 15 years .

Most of it has been through going Keto, though I have relaxed about it on weekends and long rides (if I'm riding 600k I figure that is the time to eat whatever I want!), I'm still getting results from being strict on carb intake 4 days a week, I'm now losing about 0.5kg per month.

I've seen massive gains in my cycling fitness, and have got much quicker and stronger, which is unsurprising carrying 12kg less around on my body.

I've lost interest in what weight I end up at now, as I think by eating right and with all my riding this year, it will end up wherever it does.

nice!

Congratulations on the progress!

Hey guy's,
Anyone interested in the low carb things? I've got some books to sell on the subject if you're interested.
Not sure what prices. Cheap though. I'll need to post as I'm not in London.
Send me a PM if you'd like them.

had minor slippage of weight over last couple of weeks. largely down to 4 weeks of not being able to do any training at all thanks to double sprained wrists and elbows, then I had my carb-loading prior to my 24hr race and then a week of basically eating junk afterwards.

Today is first day back on the bike and start of my 8 week training regime for copenhagen half marathon. Hoping that the couple of kg i put back on will drop off this week with a return to exercising regularly and following my previous diet/calorie intake.

Am adding in 2-3 days running to my 3 days cycle commuting starting small at 5k runs but up to 10k at least in next couple of weeks with long runs 10+ miles starting in about a month.

Target weight is sub 100kg which is 1.5kg/week which I think is achievable but hopefully I'll have a big drop this week and be closer to 1kg a week instead after that.

Hey guys,
The two Jeff Volek books above have now sold.
The two Mark Sisson ones are still available. I found them very useful.
The primal blueprint just for general health but the other is great for those who ride a lot.
Give me a shout if you're interested.

Sounds like that will last about a week or two, then you'll be right back at it. Small steps and discipline and actually make a long term plan.

Well so far I'm on my fourth week, it's working fine and I'm enjoying not having to worry about eating breakfast or lunch.

But thank for ur concern.

Fair enough, but not eating all day is hardly a long term plan.

Basically come back in a year and see if you're still doing it

Are you going to do a full, qualified assessment of my energy levels, metabolic activity and psychology as it relates to eating habits, and produce a long term plan for me personalised to my time and money constraints, minimal-animal-product eating preferences, co-habitative shared meals and general enjoyment of food, then?

Or are you going to just make a generic assumption about what works for me with no real idea of what I'm doing beyond "not eating", or the multitude of factors that influenced my decision?

I think what you're eating (when you eat) has a big impact on how easy you find fasting. I fast intermittently, but I don't plan it. It just happens that some days I don't feel very hungry and I forget that I've not eaten. Then when I sit down to eat in the evening it dawns on me that it's the first thing I've eaten all day.

Well done - I've given up - just going to try to do the relatively achievable things like no white sugar - little or no red meat - lots of veg - cut out heavily processed food etc.

Beer is my worst enemy... Lot's of empty carbs and makes me order pizza when plastered.

But I love beer...

Yeah, this is kinda what I'm gunning for. Trying to get completely out of the habit of eating for the sake of it, and enjoying it when I do require food. If I'm halfway through the afternoon and feel starving I'll go find some hummus chips or w/e, but so far I've been coping fine, for the most part

I have the occasional day where I starve myself a little on purpose, but it doesn't agree much with me, after a few hours I get tired or distracted from lack of food.

It's easier when I've stuffed myself the day before, but since I rarely do that, a 4 meal a day schedule is what I tend to stick to :)

I've weirdly gained a few kilos in the last couple of weeks. Went on holiday at the beginning of last month at around 72.5kg and somehow came back weighing roughly the same despite numerous, daily beers and all the food. Since getting back I've put on 3 kilos whilst eating at a healthy deficit.

Perhaps you lose muscle quickly?
Or have larger glycogen stores (100 grams of carbs + 300 grams of water = 400 grams glycogen weight)

Back to 63.5Kg which I was 2 years ago, so not too bad I guess. Still have my annoying belly, as that's where I store fat, but can I be bothered to go on another dieting cycle...

Both sound very possible/likely.

Also, hanging leg raises ;)

Slightly confused by my scales at the moment.

was a smidge over 109kg all of last week and between 22.1 and 22.7 BF%, then I did a 50k ultramarathon on saturday, spending 8.5 hours on my feet so pretty massive energy expenditure, but I kept well hydrated and while I didn't run a calorie deficit in the days before I also didn't overeat by thousands and thousands of calories before or after the race either.

I was down to 108.2kg (22.7 BF%) on sunday, the morning after the race but this week I'm back up to 110.8kg but my BF% has dropped to 21%.

i'm guessing its glycogen/water storage. but not sure how that would be represented in the BF% i'm seeing.

I think it may just be 3pack4lyf ;)

The muscles themselves are strong, can hold a 30 second plank without problems, but it's the lard on top...
