Sucralose aka Splenda (amongst other names) = originally developed as rat poison. I'd rather lick my dogs bum than eat anything containing artificial sweetner junk.

I didnt know about Sucralose and I guess most protein brand have Sucralose in them......it is correct?:unsure:
 
My bodies a natural temple, filled with full English breakfasts, beer and pizza.

Jokes aside, ive always been ok. 5'11 and approx 11 stone. However I always had manual hard graft jobs so never put any weight on and could eat what ever I wanted. However over the last few years ive had a desk job and hit my thirties and since then my guts expanded and ive hit 13 stone so now im thinking about starting to eat healthy foods and watch what I put into my body. Im not getting any younger and then theres the old diabetes to worry about, it could catch up with any of us if we dont look after ourselves!

Anyway ive been saying im going to get fit / healthy for months yet today I had bacon butties for lunch, pizza for tea and drowned that with a pack of beer...

Right after this week I think ill be starting my get fit regime :help:

I don't know to be honest, I just stay well away from anything with sweeteners (hard as a LOT of stuff has aspartame etc in them these days).

There are many side effects to artifical sweetners.

http://www.sweetpoison.com/aspartame-side-effects.html

I used to drink Diet Coke by the boat load and haven't touched it for well over a year now. No more headaches, fatigue, abdominal pain, hyperactivity.

If you want protein then eat lots of raw food such as meat (chicken, steak etc), fish, eggs. i.e. anything with eyes is safe to eat. Nuts (limit them to 6 at a time), omega 3 supplements are very good too!

The manufacturers and FSA say aspartame is safe to eat but a lot of medical professionals disagree if you Google around (how I felt before (drinking diet coke etc) and now is proof enough for me)
 
Thanks Paul S

That really open my eyes as it seem most protein brand doesnt tell you what the bad parts are inside the ingredients :o


What do you think of this one?

Unflavoured Whey Protein Isolate: Undenatured Whey Protein Isolate 90%, Soy Lecithin (E322 - Instantising Agent).

That had be smallest Unflavoured Whey Protein ingredients out of all Protein Brand but one things got me worry is Undenatured Whey Protein Isolate 90% and what other 10% that got somethings in that you dont know :unsure:
 
The easiest thing to remember with food is only eat it if it once used to run, fly, swim or grow out of the ground. Simply avoid anything processed and keep portion sizes under control and fat will reduce naturally and fairly quickly too. And do not drink calories (beer, soft drinks, fresh orange etc).
 
haha that's more than Weight Gain 4000 from Southpark! :D

You should visit Heart Attack Grill in America. Their Quadruple Bypass Burger has almost 10,000 calories.

At least you'll die happy with the girl who serves it to you...

"Gym? What's a gym?... oh, a GYM!"

Pretty much what I have to say about it all.
 
I'd swear by a bootcamp program - like this http://www.originalbootcamp.com/ - which I've been doing in Australia. It's brutal but will get you results faster than gym or home. The reason you keep going back is the camaraderie with your mates.

You're getting as bad as me for logging food/protein amounts!!

Mine goes something like this;

Breakfast: 6 eggs (scrambled) perhaps with bacon/sausages (usually have the latter two at weekends when I have the time)
Snack: 6 nuts and perhaps a piece of fruit
Lunch: Salad, tin tuna, turkey, beef, ham with celery mix
Snack: 6 nuts and maybe some protein (shake or meat)
Dinner: Anything 'meat' (steaks/sausages/fish et al) with sweet potatoes as a side (vary the sweet potatoes)
Snack: 6 nuts and perhaps another piece of fruit.

I'm really not that adventurous when it comes to food during the week, salad/meat/fruit/nuts does me fine!

Supplements per day: 6 - 12x Omega 3's, 3-4x Magnesium, 3x Zinc in the morning (reducing to 2 per day after 4 weeks), 25ml Zambroza, 2x Multi-vitamins. Obviously spread out during the day :D

Can't eat/drink: vast quantities of milk, large amount of nuts, bread (wheat)/potatoes (except sweet - they taste nicer than ordinary potatoes imo), sugar (the weight gainer!). Fruit is limited to 2 per day.

Protein shakes - ordered some the other night as I need to hit at least 200g per day (with water only)

I have one 'cheat' meal every Saturday where I can eat what I like (ice cream & pizza :D) so that I keep my metabolism up.

Since starting (28th May) this way of eating (and keeping up with the gym six days a week) I've lost 1 stone so far :) Upper body is a lot more defined now.

Never used to believe in supplements but they do make me feel a hell of a lot better/aid the body in reducing fat etc.

At the moment....I have been eating up to 2,400 cals but my personal trainer say I should be 3,400 cals....

PFFFTTT How on earth on I going reach that!? :unsure::(
 
Is that 3,400 per day?! My PT never mentions calories :blased: She's more into protein amounts! :lol: I bet I only reach around 1,800 a day max... if that.

I've gone from 14 stone 3 to 12 stone 8 as of today :D

Got to order a shed load of supps this month too with the dreaded 20% VAT coming in... sigh.

oh yes, looking back three months I did mention that I wanted to lose weight :lol::whistle: So I guess you'll be having more carbs than me! :) I can only have a lot of them once a week as a cheat to keep my metabolism going (it's not easy with cake and ice cream in the house!!)
 
You guys are crazy ;)

entire meals for the weeks down to number of nuts?

:nuts::lol:
 
I've never been to a gym, although I do wish I had some of their special equipment. I work out at home regularly, and I follow a special diet I have formulated for myself over several years of studying and experimenting. I feel full of energy and I'm always in perfect health, I never get sick and I hardly even need to sleep, I can think very clearly, I even feel like I've slowed or stopped aging. Here's an example of what I will eat in a day:

Probiotic cultured drink (BioCult/Yakult...)
Two soft-boiled free-range eggs for breakfast.
Natto (fermented soy beans drowning in snot) or a handful of raw nuts (preferably soaked or sprouted).
A handfull of hulled hemp seeds or a protein drink made from hemp protein and organic almond milk
Fresh vegetable juice made from organic vegetables (purple carrot, beetroot, ginger, celery, asparagus, capsicum, kale, bok choi, cucumber, zucchini, garlic, broccoli...)
A small leafy salad
Snack on a piece of fruit (avocado, melon, pineapple)
Steamed or roasted organic vegetables (sweet potato, pumpkin, onion, garlic, parsnip, potato, carrot, cauliflower, green beans, peas...)
Fruit smoothie or fruit salad for dessert

It doesn't vary very much from this, sometimes I will have less vegetables and more fruit in the evening. I make sure to never mix protein meals with vegetable or fruit meals, and the only fruit that I will juice with the vegetables is apple since it won't cause problems with digestion like mixing other fruit and vegetables does. I only drink what I make myself from fresh ingredients, so I will make my own juice rather than buy it, and make my own tea and coffee instead of getting it in a bottle. I only drink spring or rain water, not tap water. I only drink fresh cow's milk, not pasteurised milk, so it still contains the natural digestive enzymes so the calcium is absorbed into my bones and teeth, not becoming deposits in my organs. Acidifying foods are only eaten in small amounts, and only in the morning. Alkalizing food is eaten throughout the rest of the day and evening. I never mix food that contains calcium with food that contains oxalic acid (causes calcium deposits and kidney stones if mixed). The only oil I use is Macadamia nut oil or organic butter or ghee, (although olive oil is okay if it's pure too, I just don't like the flavour as much as Macadamia). I don't eat sugar or processed food, and avoid grains as much as I can. I do occasionally splurge and have a gluten-free healthy burger (with a field mushroom as the patty and roasted peppers and salad) or a gluten-free vegetarian pizza, but those are rare exceptions. Supplements I have are just natural plant-based ones, flax seed oil, chlorella, spirulina.
