i've already read about food scientists so this doesn't really come as a surprise to me, but the depth of reporting for this is good

Not bad

[MyNameIsMethodis]

disgusting.


3rd carb nite is supposed to be tonight but pushing it to friday prob. last one went well; I barely gained any water weight the next day .

not sure what to eat other than fruity pebbles but hey its what i luv. i wish granola was made out of rice tho

[Himu]

disgusting.

[Groogrux]

Yeah, my Carb Nite is friday again, and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Where I was in the hospital yesterday, the PA told me I was fine to continue my diet, but to eat some all around healthy foods yesterday to get my metabolism back up.  Needless to say, I think I went well over the 30g cap.

I think I'll still go ahead and have the CN, but I'll just be extra careful on carb consumption over the next few days.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

How many carbs a day do you usually get? I've been hanging between 14-29 lol.

[Groogrux]

Anywhere from 6-20g a day usually.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

damn nice. i've been trying to cut down to that small but i find it hard.

i also need to stop drinking 

[TakingBackSunday]

If you really must have alcohol, switch over to wine for a few weeks and see how you like it.  I've been buying red wine for the last few weeks and I've been off beer completely since then.

[Cormacaroni]

hark at the voice of experience lads

two whole weeks

I'll eat his heart with a spoon!  I've not had bacon in two whole days and you know what it's doing to me!

THIRD CARB NITE DONE AND DUSTED  :munch

this time i had whoopie pies, chocolate milk and fruity pebbles

hoping not to wake up bloated and water weighted again

cool diets that let you eat what you want once a week for 8 hours

mein fuhrer cormac

[Smooth Groove]

Methodis, you getting into better shape though?

all I hear you talk about is eating

[Squiddy]

all I hear you talk about is eating

Some people interpret "Diet is essential" as "Fuck exercise".

[MyNameIsMethodis]

yes, i've lost up to 160 pounds so far spoiler I lied about my initial weight , i exercise also but I know what works for me so I don't need to ask much other than of cormac what he reccomends (the kettlebell is excellent)

[Mupepe]

oh god, I've got my perfect salad...

Spinach
Green peppers
Red peppers
Jalapenos
shredded carrot
sesame seeds
1/4 cup of feta cheese
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
ground black pepper

oh my god.  i've never cared for salads before. but i've been eating this for the last two weeks with my lunch and holy crap it's amazing. 

[Groogrux]

That sounds delicious.

[Dickie Dee]

Can't wait to try this

http://www.amateurgourmet.com/2008/11/the_best_brocco.html

[Cormacaroni]

I usually pre-cook broccoli and then throw it in the oven in the same baking tray as my bacon to let it soak up some bacon fat and crisp a little. Garlic, lemon etc only improves it

Broccoli soup is pretty awesome as well, been making it a lot recently

[Dickie Dee]

Gordon Ramsey's recipe?

[TakingBackSunday]

had a delicious split pea soup today for lunch

yum

[Groogrux]

Carb Nite in progress right now. 

I could throw up. 

It's awesome. 

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Just ate a 16 oz grass fed ribeye

Life is good

[ToxicAdam]

This has turned into a foodie thread.


I've been micro loading with my OHP to keep pushing more weight. Got up 163 today for 2 today.

[BlueTsunami]

My weight has been fluctuating between 185 and 182 but no steady decrease. I'm sitting at 180 now though which is the lowest I've been since weighing myself a month ago at 185. I'm visibly slimming down and becoming muscular. I'll probably cut back a little on the amount I load on a backload and see where that takes me but as I stand physically a month and two weeks in I'm definitely looking way more fit.

[Shaka Khan]

Thoughts on quinoa? Are they worth consuming as everyone keeps saying or it mostly (all) BS?

[Cormacaroni]

Mark Sisson has some good articles about it. I have never even seen quinoa so not a decision i've ever had to make but I'd disinclined to try it anyway. Seems like it has similar anti-nutrient properties to other grains

[Squiddy]

Quinoa is good stuff.
Anti-nutrients is pseudo-scientific bullshit.

Next we'll be discussing the finer points of inflammatory food agent-theory.

[Cormacaroni]

Eat some corn, look at your shit, then tell me that anti-nutrients are pseudo-scientific bullshit again

[Shaka Khan]

Thanks for suggesting Mark Sissor's articles. I found some quality info.

One final question regarding diet alterations (that I'm sure will piss you off): how down are you on protein bars? I've been increasingly consuming them over the last couple of weeks, usually one with my morning coffee mostly for its convenience. The ones I pick up are store bought, 180 cals, 20g of protein, 2g of sugar, and 15g of carbs. I haven't looked too much into them to recognize fine prints, but I'm sure you did and I'm willing to listen.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i always hear good reviews for quest bars

half protein, half carbs, hmm. Do you pour sugar on your bacon too? Not sure what kind of diet plan that fits into - neither high protein or high carb? Is it really so hard to make a goddamn omelette?

[Shaka Khan]

Sometimes, when you're always running late for classes.

[Eric P]

Do you pour sugar on your bacon too?

candied bacon

 

[Flannel Boy]

yes, i've lost up to 160 pounds so far

Uh, Methodis, towel rack.

[Cormacaroni]

i really doubt that amount of food with no fat is going to do anything other than make you hungrier later. Put some butter or coconut oil/milk in your coffee and see how that goes (or even heavy cream if you're a pussy)

[TakingBackSunday]

If you don't have time to make an omelette in the morning, just don't eat anything until later

[Cormacaroni]

i rarely eat anything 'til 1-2pm, saves so much time it's unreal. I cook basically everything I eat so saving time is important. If you don't have time to cook or eat in the morning, eat a bigger dinner. I'm sorry if this is too much planning or too inconvenient but it's hard to recommend these protein bars under any circumstances. If the protein in 'em is from whey anyway (and why would they use a more expensive source...), why not just have a whey protein shake in the morning and add some fat to it? Then you have no carbs to screw up your fat-burning.

[TakingBackSunday]

yup I've been avoiding breakfast the last few weeks...well not avoiding, so much as just not really hungry in the morning.  Around 2, I eat a big ol' salad

[BlueTsunami]

I probably misunderstood but is the time from when you've eaten your last meal, sleep and then fasting till noon putting in a state where muscle tissue will be broken down? I've been really strict about getting something in my stomach when I've hit the 13 hour mark without food (basically shifted breakfast forward three hours).

Makes sense, thanks!

Well, I don't think it's a binary state but yeah. It sort of depends how manic you are about losing muscle mass. If you are Kiefer and losing even a gram means massive loss of self-respect/inability to set foot in the gym without being ridiculed by homeboys or whatever, you don't want to go much longer than that. I find my appetite works pretty well though. If I get hungrier earlier, I eat earlier. We have different requirements, different inputs and different outputs every day, no matter how tightly we try to regulate them.

[Himu]

First may Thai lesson tomorrow. 

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Uh, Methodis, towel rack.

idgi

[Cormacaroni]

First may Thai lesson tomorrow. 

no, here is your first: Muay Thai

[Cormacaroni]

unless you are having like a cooking lesson with a girl called May Thai I guess

[Himu]

Sorry. Smart phone.  

[Cormacaroni]

[Himu]

I don't want to join a gym unless it is crossfit. I will get into crossfit in a few months but I want to get more in shape so I don't walk into the crossfit gym looking pathetic. I still want tk do something in a social setting so I'm going with muay Thai. I'm more of a kung fu person, but I need a real physical martial art to help me achieve the body I want. That school also teaches karate, mma, and bjj.

I do worry about my body (mostly my knees) due to the training muay Thai requires but life is life.
