Surely not enough to make a measurable difference though, right? Similar to the claim that celery takes more energy to digest than it provides - which even if true, would be such a negligible amount it would make the claim moot.

no it's not a measurable difference, you can burn up to an extra 60 calories I believe

Another promising property of cinnamon though is it may reduce / regulate blood sugar levels, which can lead to lowered amount of insulin which may assist in storing less food you eat as fat... but I haven't really researched any studies on this.

Eating less carbohydrates will have the same effect ;)

Breakfast: 100g short cut bacon, 1 cup egg whites, 1tbs extra virgin olive oil

Lunch #1: 1.5 cup diced chicken breast, 150g steamed carrot/broccoli/cauliflower.

Lunch #2: 1.5 cup diced chicken breast, 150g steamed carrot/broccoli/beans.

Dinner: Likely steak with a side of more veggies or salad.

Snacks: skim flat white coffee(s), WPI shake w/ water, plenty of green tea.

Depending on my fat intake through the day, I may supplement with more olive oil or peanut butter to bring it up to 60-70g

Since I don't actually know, I can't really answer that question....and in all honesty, nobody here should actually answer that question since it will be speculation. I was told by members here how wrong my diet was, which makes no sense given how well it worked for me. You don't need carbohydrates at all to function efficiently, it's just abstaining entirely from them isn't advisable for long periods of time.

I feel that I get adequate nutrition from my diet to align with my current goals, which is what matters. Sure I could do with some more simple carbs before and after my workouts (emphasis on after), though I don't feel it necessary. I manage to get through my workouts without it being a huge struggle, and my recovery seems to be fine. If anything, maybe some grape juice after workout would be good but like I said - I don't feel I need it :)

What works for me won't necessarily work for others. Everyone is different, just gotta try different things and see what works best and is manageable :D

For the record I won't be keeping this up for *too* long, just long enough to get back to looking the way I did in the photo you've seen of me. Should only been a couple of weeks. After that, I'll strategically increase calories with more healthy shit so I can begin to gain muscle slowly once more....until the weather turns to shit and it starts getting cold, at which point it's all on (within reason) and I'll really start getting into it lol

Absolutely!!!!!!! Good on you and all the best with your health and fitness goals :)

Cheers :) How're you coming along after Christmas? Fark I ate soooooo much sugary shit, swear I nearly exploded a couple of times.....thankfully I let my food settle, and then went back for more :D

I was pretty good with what I ate, as I normally am. Everyone bought me chocolates though (and they all know how health conscious I am.....) and once I have chocolate in the house I just have to eat it all. :sick:

I haven't been to the gym since Sunday, I have been doing my normal running but I really need to get back into my weights program. I feel like my muscles are disappearingl. Unfortunately I have a slight neck injury at the moment, so I don't know how long until I can do weights again, I wonder if there is anything else I can do as a substitute? If I don't work out it affects me in a negative way mentally

Your body doesn't need carbohydrates to function, but it does need them to function efficiently.

If you have to abstain from carbohydrates in your diet, then you are eating the wrong carbs.

Dare i say it again, but if you eat properly, you will never have to go on a diet.

Yes and no. As much as people like to hate on it, ketogenic diets work wonders for many aspects of your physical health including energy levels - though like I said, not in the long run. From what I understand it isn't great for your brain health or some shit.

So why do we NEED carbs? Actually, scrap this topic. I don't want to start a shitstorm.

Troy I would like to give you my diet and see how it goes for you...

I'd get fat as f**k lol

You wouldn't, I burn up everything in the gym my friend. Be interesting if you gave it a go for a week or two and see if anything changes...not just for you, but to see for me if it's as good as I feel it is / can be improved somewhere.

You've also got a much faster metabolism than I do haha. PM me your rough diet and I promise you for the first 2 weeks out of my 'summer' diet I'll follow it absolutely and share results lol.

I have a mate on facebook trying to convince me he managed to gain ~20kg in 4 weeks, which remained and therefore was not simply water retention but "permanent" fat/muscle gain. For the record, he did not lift.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
