  • No dietary carbohydrates?
    That has no place on this forum, and i will combat any comments made about low carbohydrate diets for cyclists.
    I bid you good day.

  • Scales wont give you anywhere near an accurate figure. You need calipers to work out a reasonable estimate.

    The number itself might not be accurate but it should allow for a way to track weight and percentages. I'm going to use it to make sure I'm on the right track.

    +1, I've got fairly cheap digitial scales, and depending on where I put my stand (near centre vs near edge) it reads upto 2lbs difference. As long as I remember that fact and try and stand in the same place each day it works fine for tracking gain/loss, the absolute numbers are largely irrelevant.

  • From what I have heard, it might not be so much that the bodyfat scales are innacurate, rather that they are innacurate by varying amount depending on factors like, e.g. how hydrated you are. So they might be out by 2% one day and 5% the next and then accurate the next.

    If you can't be arsed with the caliper thing (and to be honest who can) then they are probably better than nothing, but I wouldn't take them as gospel.

  • Exactly- I'm treating them as something to stand on for 10 seconds just before I clean my teeth.

    A guide, and quite fun in a nerdy way.

    If I wanted to do it properly then calipers blah blah blah- but I really cannot be arsed to do that every morning, and I doubt it would take 10 seconds.

  • Bunch of fat fat fatties!

  • 19% fatty fatty fat fat to you matey.

  • ah ha ha.

  • fuckit fuckit fuckit

  • Eh?

  • oh, i've been doing quite well the last two weeks. loads of swimming, running, riding, hardly any alchohol (only one night this week), home made sandwiches and rice salads for lunch... then this afternoon i have eaten a disgusting doughnut, two flapjacks and about 5 massive cookies.

    and i don't even really like sweet stuff.

    • a bunch. low carb for pretty much anyone is rubbish i'd say.

    there is really only so much protein a person can eat in a day, so if you are low low carb then most of the calories in the diet will be fat calories. and that is a path to long term health problems regardless of the good/bad fat malarky.

    unless you are a baby, a growing child or trying to build huge muscles (combined with heavy lifting - they dont grow on their own), then you probably already get enough protein in your diet without trying to go high protein. instead of trying to up protein calories and cut out carb calories, best bet is reduce the fat calories and make up the difference with carb cals.

  • go vegan. its ways more expensive to eat treats like that.. therefore, you do it less...

  • for the past 3 weeks ive been running 3 times a week and going to spin classes. dropped about 3 kilos, been drinking plenty tho...

    never. steak sandwich FTW

  • seriously though, if you still crave sweet things after eating 'good' food, then try eating fruit. dried fruit in particular has a much higher sugar content and satisfies the cravings better and is fine to eat after a meal.

    humans are sweet carb eaters (fruiters) by nature (according to some) and fruit naturally is sweet. so when we eat a diet of savory things, even carbs, we still have this desire for sweet stuff, hence the pudding industry. raw food fruitarian vegan. YEAH.

    ok ok just vegan puddings?

    dam i havent eaten a donut in years. seriously, i make the in store bakery girls go get the books out and check ingredients regularly, just in case. if anyone knows of a place where i can buy vegan donuts..... on my only trip to the states i found a vegan bakery and it was crazy full of biscuits and cakes and all kinds of things. i made myself feel so grossed out with a sugar high crash low. love to go there again...

  • im quite into celery with peanut butter atm, which i figure is fairly healthy savoury/desert bridge gap snack.

  • if i we are being picky, all the calories in that snack are fat. just so you know. i know what you mean though, good stuff. smooth or crunchy?

  • crunchy. always.

  • heathen.

    my girl like crunchy, i like smooth. so we have two jars. mine always goes quicker. i whizz it in smoothies with nana's and soy milk. lush.

  • ha. i think we may make our own then. cheers for that.

  • i did read somewhere that the delice de france ones are vegan, but this the person who said it didnt back it up at all, so i doubt its the case, but could be worth looking in to.
