<br />
1600 calories a day :nta might pay to do a little research, 'cos that doesn't sound anywhere near enough if you are going to be doing exercise as well.<br />

<br />
No the toast isnt worth it,and your right i need more calories than that otherwise im likely to collapse!<br />
Ill moniter my eating,like i said at the start i dont think i eat that badly,im hoping the addition of exercise will do the trick...<br />

Need to eat more fruit and veges,we spend around $25 per week at fruit world,trouble is the mrs eats 90% of that!<br />
Ill have to look up for sum yummy fruit smoothie recipies i think... -
If youre stuck for something to eat at work, try those rice wafer things with the flavouring on top. They have sweet F.A calories in each one (less than 80 from memory) yet after a couple of those you feel pretty full. <br />
<br />
Also remember, if youre an active person (i think that is categorised by 30 or more minutes of exercise per day) that your body requires 40 calories per kg of body weight just to maintain its weight. For me at 100kg, thats about 4000 calories per day if im training one or twice a day. Rather than looking at restricting your calories, look at restricting your fat intake. For instance, two pieces of molenburg might be 500 calories, the same as a meat pie from the servo. However, when you look at it in terms of carbohydrates vs saturated fat - its a no contest on which one is better for you. At my weight, and you are prob only 10kg lighter, I find that if I just make sure I eat only 'good' calories during the day, that ensures I'll lose weight at the end of the week. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also, subway and coke or sprite zero are your friends. If you have a large glass of no calorie drink before you eat, you feel bloated, so dont eat as much. Probably not a very healthy way to lose weight, but damn effective!<br />

Cheers Warlord..some very useful info there:)<br />
Ive decided to replace the toast covered in marg and jam with some weetbix,calories are still high but im sure its alot better for me.<br />
If i appear to be a bit drastic with my intake its only temporary while i lose this 10kg's or so...once the gut is gone ill ease back on the food cut back and the exercise!<br />
30 mins everyday on the bike isnt alot of fun!<br />
<br />
Weighed myself this morning..was 89.7 on sunday....down to 88 already!<br />
<br />
Rapt at that,but ill wait and see what the full week comes to when i weigh myself on sunday. -
Ok,had a shorter ride tonight..just too hot and tired to give it the full 30 mins.<br />

good stuff mate. Great to see youre making huge improvements (or hardening upÂ
) youll be the size of the man on top of the wedding cake at this rate (or the stripper who jumps out of it) -

Cheers,how did you know thats who my inspiration is :shifty:<br />
<br />
2 weeks in,hopefully making progress...drinking around 3 litres of water every day,no more margerine not that i eat toast much anymore.Havent touched a drop of alcohol :evil: Eating salads most nights and eating fruit too.<br />
Was never going to be a huge change in diet,i never felt i ate badly...just didnt eat well.We rarely eat takeaways,once every 2 or 3 weeks.Though trying very hard to go longer! -
