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.

*runs and hides from Birds*

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?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
