It really is a bloody brilliant supplement. If people have delved into the krebs cycle at all, that's where you start seeing what it really does.
 
Yeh - I definitely notice the difference when on and off, but I retain a crap load of water when on... Jeans feel like ski pants.

Going to use them from now on :) That is awesome,cheaper and free delivery :D
What do you guys think of this?

1.) one-arm stability ball press
2.) stability ball rows
3.)Stability ball squat to bicep curl
4.)Stability ball shoulder press
5.)stability ball hamstring curl
6.)stability ball overhead tricep extension
7.) stability ball jackknife to press up
8.)stability ball russian twist

All are 3 sets of 12 with 30 sec rests (using a 7.5 kg dumbbell-challenges me :o ) .

I also do cardio once a week and do the stability stuff twice a week.

Goal- lose body fat and my diet is mostly meat and veg. Will do this for 4 weeks and find a new exercise.
 
I always stand far away from guys doing those exercises on a stability ball, I never know when they going to let it all fall down on me if I am standing next to them. Not a fan of silly exercises like that.


In other news, those of you from Cape Town, ever heard of FiCT (Fittest in Cape Town)? Looks like an awesome event, thinking of going to watch it this january, then maybe see if I can compete next year (2014 Jan), just to see if I can at least finish it.
Check out the video of the 2012 FiTC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W43UVrsQ8Ck&feature=player_embedded

I'd actually appreciate a few more ideas on quick and easy meals.

I do not want to spend alot of time infront of the stove, but I am getting very bored with my current food routine. Everyday is the same!

My current routine is:
Breakfast: Muesli with fatfree plain yogurt [usnure on calorie count, used to eat oats]
Lunch: 2 Pieces of toast, each with 1 slice of cheddar cheese, layer of fat free cottage cheese, 1 egg (I divide my lunch in 2 parts; I get very hungry at 11am so would eat my first piece of toast then, and the other over 2pm) [514 calories]
Dinner: Chicken hamburger- 1 chicken breast, 1 slice of cheddar, 1 low gi brown bun, 2 slices tomato and some lettuce with half an avo. [530 calories]

I then eat fruits and nuts for snacks between. 1 Protein shake on weight training days.

I get really bored with this routine, and would like some other clever, good tasting alternatives. I specifically enjoy anything with eggs, chicken, baked beans, avo and cheese.
 
Mine basically boils down to what I posted, but the carb source/meat change... e.g. one night I might have Salmon Sashimi - or change out the couscous for brown rice, or have grilled chicken for dinner... I generally have a feel for portions to get the required calories these days, so go with what I want to eat each night, and just portion correctyl.

Try the breakfast one... I love it.
1/2 a jar Salsa (from Woolworths)
1 cup egg whites
1/3 cup cheese

Scramble egg whites, mix in cheese and salsa once down (warm in microwave).
 
I demand more of your easy to make recipes sir.

now!
