Fatbusting: Hooroos log
-
Sounds good to me. Is 4 brown toast (No butter thank you sir) with Marmite or Honey a small portion. If not, I'm really going to struggle as I like my brekkie and have been avoiding the tempting Bacon and Eggs, with bagels and Plum tomatoes..... God I'm hungry
-
Apparently a portion fits in the palm of yr hand? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Thats the beauty of pint glasses.

Hooroo - don't get too concerned about breakfast as its more important than any other meal. i usually have a fairly good breakfast and then graze throughout the day on good stuff to help keep the hunger down:<br />
<br />
Breakfast:<br />
Two weetbix with sliced banana on top and full cream milk<br />
500mL Orange Juice<br />
300mL protein shake - protein helps stop you feeling hungry<br />
Cup of tea<br />
<br />
Work:<br />
10AM - something snacky, whether its a couple (i.e. 2) biscuits or some grapes<br />
12AM - fruit like grapes or a banana or apple<br />
Have lunch as close to 2PM as possible and its either leftovers or basic sandwich (ham, chicken, cheese, salad)<br />
3PM - afternoon treat ala small chocolate frog just to keep me going<br />
4PM - have some salad to tide me over<br />
<br />
Then dinner beteen 6 and 7. All those snacks are small portion, but because you're constantly topping up you never really get hungry. When I was in high school and had the metabolism of a trained athlete I'd regularly eat 10-12 weetbix every morning, but you've got to train yourself out of it. -
Yes NTA, it is often hard to stop the eating habits of when you were young and active, now that you are older and inactive.<br />
<br />
And that is when the fat bastard in all of us bursts out with glee!!<br />
<br />
it's all in the portions baby, it's all iin the portions (in a Chubbs paterson voice)... -
Portion size is key I reckon.<br />
<br />
I eat pretty crap food to be honest. But I eat really small portions. I have NEVER completed a mains at a restaurant.. always get full before the end. That of couse means I can also nerver even contemplate having a entre and a mains. Not even a starter and mains, and in fact I have to pass on the bread as well, otherwise its a waste of space in my stomach. <br />
<br />
Seems ot be a genetic thing as both my parents eat very little portions as well.<br />
<br />
I think that is the only thing stopping me from becoming a lard ass... that and the fact I dont really drink alcohol much at all.... once every 6 months probably. -

Four peices of toast ain't a small portion.<br />

<br />
I just read this. And four pieces of toast is not a small portion by any stretch. Try having a glass of water first, two pieces of toast (healthy toast, not white, with say marmite no butter) then a slab of fruit-- a banana or a slice of melon or something. -
I think we have just found a key issue with Hooroo fat busting.<br />
<br />
The guy is clearly doing the exercise, and eating mosty good food? However if you have 4 pieces of toast for brekkie.. your stomoach is huge mate (not the gut.. I mean internally). This would make any fat busting very challenging and any margin for error, much more narrow.<br />
<br />
Hard thing to do Hooroo, but I seriously think you need to starve yourself a wee bit (no not the dramamtic unhealthy type of starving). Need to get your body used to less food. -
Have avoided this for a little while.<br />
<br />
I have started to cut down on food recently (Good Advice BSG). It's the fitness that needs attention now as I have been doing nothing apart from Cricket practise twice a week plus a game on Saturdays.<br />
<br />
One thing that is frustrating the fark out of me is that when I am fit I have more time on the ball as a batsman, but when I'm fat, I have less time in my shots. My two scores of 4 and 0 this season confirm this and as a number 2 or 3 bat, I can see myself being dropped if I don't get fit. -
[quote name='BartMan']<br />
mate, it's the scores that'll see you dropped!! but it is the fitness that'll help you get the scores sorted!<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
Yeah, that was what I was trtying to say in a round about way. When Fit I bat well, when not, I can suck at times -

You know that shreddies is a slang term for underpants, this would indeed lead to a marked weight loss quite quickly<br />
