How far have you ran/cycled/swam today?


Recommended Posts

Agreed!!

 

Yes, it is tricky. But can be done. Nothing wrong with a couple of sandwiches though, but in my case it's the remaining loaf of bread sat at home which is going to get scoffed when I get in that's a problem.

 

So not having sandwiches makes you not crave more bread. And not buying it means you can't have green slices of toast etc.

 

Agreed warm or crusty bread is too tempting and always with butter!

Good effort with the alcohol. The odd bit won't hurt but if stopping for long periods is the best way for you then that's understandable. It's still my worst habit, and a boozy weekend can lead to a few beers every night and take a whole week sometimes before I get it under control again.

I'm certainly no expert with diets, so don't want to come over as any kind of authority on the subject, but from my experience bread is the worst, mostly because it does nothing good and leads very quickly to more bread. It makes you crave bread, so cutting it out is like stopping drinking, you soon get used to not having it.

Carbs are ok and you must have them. But potatoes and pasta release there carbs quickly so if you hadn't burnt it off during that time then it can get stored as you know what. So slower release stuff is better as you have more chance of using it up. But definitely don't cut out carbs altogether. Maybe potatoes are the worsed but they are easily replaced and brown rice and pasta is possible but cardboard taste nicer!!

 

Ultimately calories in must be less than calories out. It's as simple as that, but if calories in are such that they don't make you want more before you have fully used them up then that makes life easier.

 

Rye bread, also called pumpernickle, is clever stuff. I eat tons of dark rye ryvita as well. I lost one and a half stone last year easily, the next half a stone went and came back!! Still working on that one.

 

I'm off the bread too as from today, though I'm sure all end up eating the odd naan bread and chapati, I'm fond of those two, chapati flour is half white half wholemeal flour. I like rye bread I got to like it out in Denmark open top sarnies are great. Sugar is out and I'm lowering my salt and fat intake

 

I did 13k tonight on the bike in less time and burnt more calories. Reading your post again I agree its finding what will keep your energy up is the balancing act
