Food - What Is Good, What Is Ok, And What Is Really Bad For Us


Recommended Posts

Good read. My daily intake is nothing but eggs, bacon, tuna, chicken, broccoli, avocado, cottage cheese and protein powder. Man I hang for a carb load Saturday! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png

Why are you eating so restricted?

keto?

I find diet a bit of a hard one due to the sheer amounts of differing opinions and scientific research, as I am trying to lose fat and not muscle, I try to eat as clean as possible and minimise simple carbs, still not 100% on IIFYM.

I see someone bashing ryvitas - I've been eating them quite a bit lately thinking that they were less of a fail than white flour based crackers - or is there something more preferable again!

Been trying to eat as much steak / kangaroo and veg as I can, as well as cottage cheese for dat dere casein as well.

Well "clean" is about as unscientific as you can get...

well clean as in whole foods, avoiding overly processed stuff where I can. No fluids other than tea and water etc. I thought it was a fairly self explanatory term in this context.

It all gets a bit much, you have people advocating keto, intermittent fasting, paleo, zone dieting, iifym, pure calorie counting etc etc.

I see where you're coming from boz...there is so much conflicting bullshit out there; diets excluding foods that are the basis of other diets; everything seems to contradict each other and some diets only seem to work for some people (coincidence?)...

I just don't pay attention to diets and calorie counting and all that jazz. I don't need it and I don't think anyone with half a brain needs it either. Ye olde food pyramid does me pretty well. Eat more of some foods and less of others. Exercise shitloads. Done!

I managed to continue gaining muscle mass slowly while burning off fat, but given I was already decently average to low BF% to begin with it still took long enough to pull off that I wouldn't so much specifically aim for it to begin with - particularly if you're already a bit bigger than average (I'd always thought you were a scrawny f**ker Boz :P goes hand in hand with chubby chasing, no? lol)

ok so over the last 2 months or so I've been on the seefood diet (yeah yeah, we all love that pun don't we?). Went from 74.5kg lean-ish up to ~80kg with a noticeable increase in body fat and bloating/water retention. Pretty much went down the path of a very average quality bulk lol. Was both to gain a decent amount of muscle mass as quickly as I could (fat gain along the way wasn't too concerning) while increasing strength much more easily thanks to calorie overload.

Will put more info into build thread to safe off-topic shit in this thread.

lol nah got pretty fat after changing to an IT career from printing, have never been scrawny. I like my women fat, but I was disgusted with the way that I looked, hence my newfound health and fitness obsession.

I'm inclined to agree with you there Birds - then there is the whole thing of eating enough calories to ensure your metabolism dosen't go to sleep etc, discerning actual scientific fact from broscience is another hard one!

why is it confusing?

eat fresh natural food.

don't eat cakes and pies and choc etc.

if you're not losing weight, either exercise more or reduce the amount of food you eat by a little.

I do eat fresh natural food

I do not eat cakes, pies or chocolate

I'm not losing weight and I exercise 6 days a week

I also don't really eat that much during the day, breakfast is oats, snack is muesli bar, lunch is fruit and yoghurt or a salad roll, afternoon is protein shake, after workout is protein shake and dinner is usually pasta/rice/stiry fry

:(

this is why I'm confused.

Leesh have you had a dexa scan done?

that would give you a better idea of how much lean muscle you actually have.

from that you can work out the calories/macros you need to drop some more weight if that is what you want.

I don't know where in WA you are but I'm sure the guys at PTC Perth have had one done in Perth.

Also, it could be that your 6 days a week exercise is not of great quality.

I can't remember if it was you but I thought you posted in the post a pic of yourself thread and looked pretty good.

This. Also yep was her and definitely looked good.

I haven't had a dexa scan done, the assessment at the gym used Tanita scales which said I was at 44kg muscle mass.

Maybe I'll try to book one in when I'm Perth next as I don't really live close to anything like that.

Monday is weights, Tuesday is cardio and yoga, Wednesday is weights, Thursday is boxing, Friday is weights, Saturday is cardio and weights

Birds has given me the weights program.

My body fat percentage is too high, and I want more defintion to my muscles, especially core.

Those scales are rubbish.

I'm sure I saw abs in your photo. I can't remember though. a female with abs showing usually means not much fat.

I think that you're just being a typical chick about this and worrying about nothing.

Post nudes pics so we can perve complement and you can feel better about it all.

Why are we hiding from Birds?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
