Barry Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 barry, cutting out carbs is nonsense if you dont mind me saying so (stored energy turns to fat be it spinach or spuds!), you need a balance of everything, carbs, fats, protein etc etc, i eat rice, sandwichs, potatoes etc just in moderation! Never said anything about zero carbs. Plenty of greens, nuts etc will do you good. Starchy/sweet food is largely empty calories. The guys on here with the big guts have out of kilter metabolisms. Too much glucose > too much insulin > too much fat being stored and too much cholesterol produced by the liver. Moderation may work slowly, or they may just slide back into old ways. Gotta be ruthless and cut down on those empty calories and do it for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lazyphil Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 no such thing as empty caleries if they're getting burnt off. at least you're not advocating the atkins nonsense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 OK, Day 1 of Week 2 (I know I only started posting yesterday but I actually started my campaign on 1 Jan). Weighed in this morning and I'm 122.4kg. So I've lost 2kg. I'm with that. It could probably have been more but I only started excercising two days ago. However results are always encouraging at the beginning of any diet / exercise campaign (which is a good thing) and I put this down to loss of excess fluid as much as, or more than, loss of fat. As far as I know there is a limit to how much fat you can lose in a week and it isn't 2 kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torneyboy Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 The research showed that a person's social class or body mass index (BMI) had no role to play in life expectancy. Good i had no idea what it was anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 there are so many other studies that claim that obesity is one of the major factor reducing life expectancy and i would say there could be somthing in those! when i had my record weight of 96 kg, i had the worst health check results with several areas outside the norm. they also noted "fatty liver". when i was back under 85 kg, values were most (with one exception) back to normal and the "fatty liver" was gone!
