Wow thanks very much, thats a really good analogy. I'll try and think of that to keep my possitive- consistantly working hard will help me progress.
I'll be possitive and look at my targets raather than mistakes in the past- and like you say an occasional cheat won't empty the bucket, it just...
Thanks!
I'm 19, I look really young for my age though, I pass as 14 or 15 quite easily- I've always been very small framed and skinny- I had a lot of illness's until recently too, you can actually see my 2 front ribs stick out really far it looks kind of deformed (altough its not dangerous), I...
Yeah, I'm now 130 pounds, I just have no idea how to change it on my profile, thanks for the concern.
I'm still very skinny so I'm keeping on bulking but I'm not at any health risks now- which is the most important part.
I have to keep going to a nutrionist who weighs me every week, just to...
Hi so I got weighed today. I gained 2kg since last week (4.4 pounds). This is a lot for 1 week but I hadn't gained any weight at all for 3 weeks so I'm happy just to be gaining again.
I now weigh 59.1kg or 130 pounds which is pretty awesome!
Heres some photos, I don't see much difference but...
Thanks for getting back in touch, I have been seing a pyschotherapist but he hasn't said anything about my food habbits. I do have some confidence issues (i have a lot of facial scarring after I was assaulted) and a form of OCD which may be why I beat myself up over small things- I do it at uni...
Hi so I've been wondering about glucose storage and how to avoid it.
I try to only eat complex carbs and no sugar except fruit and honey in oatmeal.
However I did have to eat chocolate cereal today as there was no food in my house.
How much Hiit cardio should I do?
I tend to do 10 minutes before...
Hi thought I'd give a quick update. I got weighed today and remained at roughly the same weight as I've been.
I think I'm going to add an extra 200-300 calories and see how it goes. I've been working out a lot harder and my metabolism will have speeded up- I'm 10kg (about 22 pounds) heavier than...
Thanks very much thats very kind of you, I'll message you as soon as I can- everyone on this site are so hopeful and friendly.
In terms of cheating thats great! I don't usually eat out at all but drinking occasionly is important social part. I will hit the gym hard and eat really carefully...
I only that diet for around 1 week when I had no clue, my diet now is very differnt- It consists of (typical):
morning: whey protein shake (1 scoop with water), 1 banana, oatmeal with dried fruit and an apple in it.
Post workout: whey protein shake (2 scoops), 2 sandwiches with wholegrain bread...
Thanks very much, yeah I will try option 1 that seems smart
Hey so one more thing- I had my first cheat day yesterday
How exactly do cheat days work and how can I minimise the damage?
I went on a night out, ended up drinking 4 pints of Guinness, lots of Jack Daniels and coke, a six inch italian...
Thanks very muci thats extremely re-assuring.
I generally digest food well and eat healthy meals,and its usualy under 3000 calories and my maintenance is about 2300 or 2400 so hopefully not to bad.
What do you mean by glucose? I know its a type of sugar but what foods should I avoid?
I try not...
Don't throw out the fruit man, anyone who says this is clueless and ignorant. Fruit contains immense amounts of nutrients vital for cellular and physiological function. People tend to look at the small picture and just see fruits as "sugar" which, while true, the benefits of fruit outweigh this...
"I think you need more than 3-500 surplus. And yes, I do think there is a difference in eating a surplus of healthy food vs ****ty food like greasy pizza. Although a pizza every now and then does a good job of perking you metabolism up. I find cheat days to be very important. "
Ok thats awesome...
"Well obviously, a "bodybuilding diet" is just as much about proportions as it is the type of food"
yeah that makes sense!
I've heard to aim for 300-500 above maintenance.
I've used various online calculators etc and in general I range from 2100-2400 calories so 2700 seems ok.
"So your saying eating as much "body building" foods as you want will never make you fat? You saying there's is a difference in me eating a whole large pizza vs eating brown rice, extra virgin olive oil, greek yogurt and chicken breasts until I vomit? I mean those are "body building" foods...
Awesome thanks-thats what I've been aiming for;eating as much as I can but healthy food (loads of lean protein,some good fats and complex carbs but avoiding saturated fat and processed sugar).
I started doing a lot more compound lifts just this week! I do machines then do...
