Helen's trying to loose fat log.

Helen ive just overhauled my diet, read up on coconut oil, great to cook in, eat off the spoon, its great for raising your metabolic rate. Get pure cold pressed organic stuff, simply delicious. Also rather than biscuits for snacks try some boiled eggs. Also how much water are you taking on board?
 
Have you ever actually gone without them FULLY for any length of time? I had a mess about with Carb Backloading recently which involves a 10 day prep phase with strictly less than 30g per day (and even then no sugar/refined carbs, rice or pasta) and it's amazing how quickly you begin to look at carbs like they're some sort of inedible plastic.

The less you eat them (specifically talking about refined sugary foods and starchy pasta and rice again) the less you crave them.

Great post.


Rotters, my favourite very high fat and low carb meal/snack at the moment is:
1 avocado
1 tin of tuna
all kinds of mayo

Also, chicken broth type soup with coconut oil... :cool:

Sorry Helen for the continued mini derail.

Rotters my low carb days and prep phase consist of the following


Coffee, 20-40ml heavy whipping cream

11am 200g(uncooked) chicken, mixed leaf salad, tomatoes, spring onion, cucumber, lashings of olive oil (30g roughly), and vinegar for seasoning

12:30 30g mixed nuts

14:00 same as 11am

16:30 25g whey, leucine, creatine, glutamine

18:30 - min of 300g (pre-cooked) of one of the following meats:
chicken - portion generally as cheaper and a bit fattier
Gammon
Pork steaks
Beef
Lamb
2x steak burgers
Lean mince beef

Generally some kind of seasoning or sauce for variation.

150g broccoli
150g cauliflower
30g of butter on the veg
(Another veg choice is asparagus but its a bit pricey everyday)
2 eggs, cooked to preference on the night (sometimes have these as a snack before dinner)

20:30 same protein shake as 16:30

Works out to roughly the following:
Protein/carbs/fats/cals
210/20/130/2250

General cost per week is sub £20, excluding sups that's roughly £50 every 2 months so an extra £5 per week

A little birdy told us that you're getting a little grumpy/hungry with this cutting diet.

Fully serious - drink yourself a **** load of coffee. Hunger - not even once.
 
Cutting makes me grumpy too, my wife hates it on the weekends but she doesn't help matters by making me cook her a fry up though. Heartless.

Coffee and sugar free gum are your cutting friends :)
 
Yet more pseudoscientific nonsense from JK, replete with his usual misquoting of studies and everything else that makes obsessively opinionated fitness literature rubbish.

Nothing infuriates me more though than such ignorant and misleading writings on thyroid function and T3. But no desire to argue about that here. </end brief rant>

OP, I sympathize with you on the salad front. It is bloody well boring. It's easy enough to make a decent sandwich at between 300-400 calories. Tastes better, and more satisfying.
