i've gotta avoid products with gluten in them, potatoes, capsicum, tomato, i'm meant to avoid dairy but F^%K THAT!!, highly processed foods and red meat (again f that) and i have to eat foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids, fish, legumes, berries and drink lotsa water! gonna try this for 8 weeks and see if it makes a difference, anything to get back to the gym and be able to move the next day :pray:

m1: 1/2 serve sculpt, 2 dried apricots

m2: handfull of almonds, 2 dried apricots

m3: 1/2 185g tuna

m4: 5 plain sakata rice crackers

m5: protein shake w/ 4 tablespoons of homemade unsweetened esiyo yoghurt

m6: chicken satay wrap with cucumber and lettuce

workout: lots and lots of crunches

[Flamer]

Very little real food in there Becbec!

Sample of what I eat in a day:

Post training shake

Oats + 3 egg whites + flaxseed

2 hard boiled egg whites or one low fat yoghurt + apple

Salad & tuna or chicken + corn thins (x4)

2 hard boiled egg whites or one low fat yoghurt

Fish or chicken and vegies

Aren't you starving most of the time?

[biggurl27]

Yum that diet looks good. Have you tried the tuna with garlic and olive oil? Flamers right though on the days you do manage to train you may need to up your calories

nope! i used to eat 3 meals a day really spaced out so my metabolism is realllllyyyy slow

for example today for breakfast i had 1/2 serve sculpt and a plum, then at 10.30 i had a handfull of almonds and didn't need to eat till 3.30! i wasn't even hungry i was just really low on blood sugar

i don't like the pre packaged ones with oil in them, they make me gag

gives me an idea though... i'll make my own!

[jesses]

aye looks good flamer. i been wondering the same thing bec, how do you survive on so little? most people should eat 1800-2000cal divided across 5 or 6 meals. youll find you have so much more energy.

[becbec]

day 1 of anti-inflammatory diet

m1= 1/2 serve sculpt, small plum

m2= hand full of almonds

m3= peanut butter sandwich on lite bread

m4 = 1/2 185g tin tuna

m5 = plum

m6 = chicken drum, lettuce, spring onion

are there any dairy free protein shakes out there that aren't the crappy tasting pea stuff?

what does everyone else use as a wheat free bread substitute?

yeah, i forget to eat sometimes cause i don't get hungry much :doh: only when i start to feel tired i notice

[jesses]

blimy quick replies tonight. yeah i make sure i eat every break i have and i take all my food with me so it has to all be gone by the end of the day.

have you tried soy protein? you can get some from http://www.sportstrition.co.nz in the protein powder section. not sure what its like as i havnt tried it myself. soy milk doesnt agree with me so i dunno what it would do concentrated

cheers i will take a look

[runveerun]

Yep I used to get a soy one from health 2000 it's in a silver bag, it tasted just fine but I think it doesn't have as much protein in it as whey.....

I'm sure there's a few different varietys out there. I'd be interested in which one you get and what you think.

thursday is payday, woo \:D/

[Flamer]

Corn thins are my 'bread substitute'. They are nothin like bread, but you can spread peanut butter, marmite, jam, cottage cheese.......whatever on them!

You say you have a slow metabolism - eating more will help speed this up. You just need to balance it. Days where you have low activity levels keep the cal intake lower - increase it on workout days.

[becbec]

decided to go for a walk around the park at lunch today instead of sitting on my ass and feeling sorry for myself! knees hurt now though

m1: 1/2 serve sculpt, plum, coffee

m2: nectarine, 85g tuna

Did some cardio AND a few weights, but not sure if i should be doing weights with swollen knees :? oh well, i'll see how i feel tomorrow! The time off the gym has definately affected my strength, i feel so weak :cry:

cardio:

10 mins X-trainer, Level 5 (2 mins forward, 30 seconds backwards x 4) 91 calories

10 mins bike, Level 5, 100 calories

5 min warm down on bike - heart rate was wayyy to fast to do weights after HIIT

Weights:

3x12 hack squat

Great news all around - a promotion, and training in the face of an inconsiderate gym - great work :notworthy:
