Weight / Fat loss

This thread confuses me.
This thread is confused, full stop.

Being confused is a mark of fatness

Fatness is close to godliness.

After a week and a half at the gym and at least 100g of protein on training days, back up to 89.5kg

Anyone on here trying Alternate Day Fasting (ADF)?

I have, it was too hard

I know someone who fasts on wednesday and saturday. Seems to be working for her and I haven't noticed her changing her diet otherwise. She said it wasn't easy for the first few weeks - as is any new routine, but it's not too difficult and she says after 2/3 weeks she feels generally better

I might give it a go. Let's see what happens Friday..

lae, maybe focus on mixing up the sports/exercises more over the diet? I am not a personal trainer or a dietitian by the way. Some suggest a low carb, high protein, high fat diet. Others suggest high carb, low fat diets. What works best? i don’t know. Do some research, read some books and be your own guinea pig. See what works for you.

77.5 tonight.

First ever muscle up on rings last night (even managed two in a row). May not be getting as light as I hoped but definitely getting stronger.

I tried those fuckers time and time again and got nowhere near last year - didn't even seem that bad last night.

77.5 tonight.

Neck and neck at the moment then

What's the bet btw?

Dunno- what do you fancy?

Pff

77

Not even trying

I plan on putting a good 5kg on over winter though - 77 is fine as race weight, but I'm sinking like a stone when I swim

Twins.

A more sensible approach would be to restrict calories whilst giving leeway for high nutrition/value items like meat, eggs or oily fish. Totally ditch sugar, and sweet treats you have.

With fat intake, ditch all the unhealthy fats like cheap refined veg/sunflower/corn oil, instead use olive oil, butter or make use of the fat from meat & fish. Saturated fat is good for your testosterone production, which will help you be more lean, muscular and athletic.

Very sound advice DFP and in line with what I try and follow. Have you read the Primal Blueprint?

Lots of different views on diet/nutrition but sticking to non-processed foods works for me. Meats, fish, vegtables, fats all day long.

The key for me is that any changes to loose weight or change body composition need to be permament changes - ie for life. This is the key for long term changes (1, 5,10, 25 years instead 1, 3, 6 months). So many diets are short term and only lead to bodies returning to pre-diet states. As a result any changes to diet need to be gradual and sustainable avoiding extreme options which are not tenable in long run.

If you can't see yourself doing it in the long term you are likely to have little success.

Why not go for a boiger, like hippy's bet with RPM a little while ago. I can't quite remember what it was about.
