The Weightloss/ Getting Fit Thread!

Brown bread is *.

 

100x better than low carb bread

 

Anyone on here ever tried Man v Fat?

I do it, it's great to be playing football again.

 

No, what is it?

 

100% that’s sugar withdrawal. Many people describe coming off higher amounts as a week long hangover

 

Think there a bit of a waste to be honest.Had a few different things over the years and always used them for a while and then stopped and they gathered dust.Would ye not join a gym?

 

Broon bread toast is cracking though.

 

Its kinda like slimming world for specifically men. You go, get weighed and play 5s once a week. Its competitive so you get put in your team and you compete weekly against other team. Both on and off the field. So the overall score between the teams is influenced by weightloss/tracking and the score on the pitch.

Its pretty good!

 

Went to the gym 3/4 times a week before we had our son but we work our shifts round him so not got the time. Trying to motivate yourself in the house is the biggest issue.

 

I'm no scientist but FODMAP was a big discovery for me. So, basically certain micro carbs in many foods suck the water out of your body and into your digestive system = body dehydration = lethargy. So for example, if I eat bread, ten minutes later my belly will really expand and soon I'll feel super lethargic. It took me years to discover that FODMAP - certain foods were dehydrating me = lethargy. Now, when I feel it (and I can) I get the water in and I can get some energy back. FODMAP micro carbs are in a lot of standard foods which sucks lol.

BTW, most people don't have the problem digesting these micro carbs but some of us do.

Just google FODMAP and see if it applies to you - it may not - but for me - it does!

 

I struggle sometimes in the gym ,, i just use the bike i just take it easy onit ,, chat to other peoplein the gym when on the bike,,,, get your head phones on with the music you like ..... one that can be slow then it gives a faster track.... i love the Boss,, Seager ,,, Creedence ,,, Meatloaf .
Starting to do more outside on the bike now

 

Everytime I have a blowout on a weekend it cattles me for day's after..

It's the biggest * up that stalls me..

 

I’m going to Albufeira 22-27 June with 10 of my mates and pre season starts 2 days after I’m home. I keep trying to convince myself I’ll bring the runners and do a few light ones on the treadmill but who the * am I kidding

 

RIP mate

 

IMO a bench is your best bet.At least ye can do a few different exercises on that.

 

I looked into it but no league near me. Does look good though.

 

I'd just look at something that you can keep in plain sight. I read something about if you have the machine constantly out you will be more likely to use the machine.

 

A regular adjustable bench is your best bet or even better if you have the space or money a power rack. I’m going to go against the grain and say to avoid machines unless you have injuries or other ailments that prevent you from using free weights. Not all machines are bad though and have their place but use them as tools rather than the standard.

 

As above said thats your best bet. Iv got the power rack aldi sell. Got it reduced and a total bargain. Can litterly do everything you'd need on one. If you've the space do it. However I no longer have a garage because of the thing

 

I really need to increase my intake of water pre and during exercise and try to cut of cheese and pastas as I eat it practically everyday
