Some say that the booze is pure energy and will always be used first before our fat stores I weigh 112 kgs ATM so I need to eat a bit to break even.....I do get regular exercise......typing 6 or 7 hours a day gets me pumped....oh as I don't have a colostomy bag I do get up to go to the can a few times a day as well I don't know how much calories are in beer is but downing 10 cant be considered normal intake if I eat 4 times a day as well I don't calorie count I use the glycaemic index and count carbs The times in my life when I didn't do the low card plan I blow out to 125kgs within a few months Sure I should do some exercise but drinking by the pool aint as easy as it sounds So is my water balance tricking me into thinking low carb drinking wont put on weight? Oh and to keep on topic...do I need any supplements to balance my booze intake
I think Woolworths got the best sales plug in my little rant leon, if you know any advertising crew from woolies tell the *******s to send me some hot-cross buns or something as a thankyou
I was brought up on a farm eating lamb chops and vegies mate, moved into town when i went to boarding school, hit the fish and chip shop with a vengeance and went back home looking like a ghost, figured pretty easily that good nutrition isnt rocket science. I think in general people go for glossy ads the same way mozzies go for bug zappers. A lot of people want to take a magic potion which makes them star athletes overnight with bugger all training, alot of these supps all but claim to be that.
But that's my point....I don't work on Calories mate.....here is my day to day feed 6am........Fruit and yogurt 300grms 8am........4 whole eggs 1 slice of spelt wheat and huge dob of butter 12pm......steak or chicken 400 to 500gms lots of veg's, olive oil and cream with mushy sauce 6pm......large serving of fish and veg throw in some melted cheese on the veg's...cream and sweet chilli sauce on fish Provided I don't eat starchy veg I will drop 3 kgs on this eating plan with no exercise each week I do agree about the blow out if you stop....like I said 13kgs in 2 months But to maintain weight of my 28 meals a week...if I do the above all of the time save 5 cheats each week I can break even.....3 or 4 on the booze and 1 or 2 on the munchies
Agree with this Andriy......for me this works....anybody else do the low carb shuffle :hey If I got back into training on this plan I would be back to 97kgs lean in 3 or 4 weeks....but its a big "IF'
Hi, the best advice has been mentioned which is eat fresh and clean foods where available as diet is most important. On top of this I notice you train twice a day sometimes possibly 6 times a week if you are not taking them already you should be taking a good multivitamin, a cod liver oil supplement and glucosamine purely because as a boxer there is a **** load of high impact training be it roadwork or heavy bag etc As far as other supplements go I have made weight fine incorporating whey protein shakes in my diet and done the same without them and I have also used glutamine aswell which is good. The best thing about the shakes was the convenience but I wouldn't say they were essential if you makin sure you eat right e.g. lean fish etc for protein. As for other supplements I would steer clear of creatine if you struggle to make weight although I have found it very good for recovery It stores water in your muscles and thus more weight, it can be used without weight gain but I would ask your coach and not a forum about creatine use. And check out apple cider vinegar for recovery, I have recently started taking that and its the **** post workout but make sure you get the tablets and not the liquid as its rough as ****. Finally i'd steer clear of all that **** with artificial sweeteners like "electrolyte drinks" as they contain all sorts of crap you are better off with water. Good luck with any fights etc At the guy who owns supplement companies What is your take on aspartame? I avoid it like the plague but recently I have heard its not as bad as its made out to be.
