Weight loss

[DrewChan]

I regard it as a lifestyle change thread more than a weight loss thread.

^this

If we can all keep this going till December 9th - the habit should be VERY ingrained

Same here....oh no wait, I do and I am

So where and when is this Lindt tasting

I eat a few dates when I'm craving something sweet. Haven't had chocolate in 3 weeks.

what don't you understand about carbs?

and if your smoothies are fruit smoothies you're loading yourself with fructose

 

[systemofpurplelimpminion]

A lot of it is discussing things and motivating each other, not sad - inspiring

Actually didn't think of it that way, dammit where was this thread my entire lif

^ this

Fruits are basically natures sweets - incredibly high in fructose. (Fruit Sugar)

They can be "healthy" so the odd banana for potassium or orange for vitiman C is good.

But don't use as a "filler"

The toast sandwich are the only carbs I have at all on a daily.
Smoothie is Banana,Yogurt,Milk and Muesli. Nothing else.

Not a filler. Something different. Drink 1litre of water and the smoothie is a "healthier" option compared to the other stuff available.
Black coffee alright?

if you not super sensitive to carbs, then generally having them before 12 isnt a major issue

2) Everything shifts around a lot more - your fat becomes more "mobile"

So for a while you actually feel fatter.

Yeah your body doesn't like getting rid of fat cells so it fills them up with water for a while in case they're needed again. When you lose a bit more it then ditches them and flushes that water, and you'll see a significant weight drop almost overnight

Haha yeah - I have seen it in myself (I lost almost all my fat about 7 months ago but stupidly got lazy)

First heard of it in this article - from my own experience its quite accurate http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/of-whooshes-and-squishy-fat.html

When I was at Fruit and Veg a couple of weeks back they had bags of pitted dates for only R12 each..almost finished my stash, so hope they still have them.

On a side note, dark chocolate in moderation can assist with weight loss:

/sigh

Yes, black coffee is fine depending on how much sugar you put in

No more smoothies or toast then it seems.

We're over the hump of week 2 ^_^ keep strong. Those people that didnt lose last week - use it as a motivator. Personally just hoping I get sub 70kg and I can pinch a little less saggy stuff ^_^'

Ok I will start some serious exercise next week. I must just install my pull up bar properly because last time I tried I fell on my ass
