I heard something about a uni study saying a one week on, one week off weight loss is more beneficial
this research is actually being conducted at the moment by UniSA...I know this as I am being one of the pin cushion guinea pigs involved. They are comparing an intermittent diet (one week on/ one week off) to a continous diet.
i will be doing an update around my thoughts etc on my blog over the coming months. if you are interested in having a look pm me and i'll send you through a link.
Whats are they actually looking at seeing from this? Is it just weight loss or are they looking at health benefits?

From what I gathered they will be looking at both. So I am guessing can you sustain one more than the other and which one is more effective etc. I had a DEXA scan as well as bloods taken, so they may be doing some reporting on that too..
Doesn't surprise me Psyber. The amount of people that go into a program and think I'll just take this and this is ridiculous. The scary thing I've seen (other forums) is the young kids taking supplements that they don't even need.

I use Zucchini (I have a gadget that cuts it so it comes out like pasta) or spinach or cauliflower rice. Cauliflower is the most versatile vegetable ever! I make pizza bases and wraps out of it and mash to put on top of shepherds pie or vegetable bakes.
Definitely agree on the carbs. We eat way more than we need.
I follow the paleo way of eating, which basically means no grains. It is also not just about eating meat like people often think. If it's good enough for Gary Ablett and LeBron James, then it's good enough for me!

Yeah I'm currently doing a semi paleo diet if that's possible.
I'm keeping carbs in my post workout protein shake.
How do u make cauliflower rice??
Pulse some cauliflower florets in a food processor until it resembles rice. Then I saute some onion and garlic in a pan, then add the cauliflower and cook for about 2-5 mins. You want it soft but not mushy. Then I add some salt and pepper. You can really add anything you like to the cauliflower for flavour. I normally have it under a curry.
Trying to shred as much body day as possible, go on an overseas holiday for a month in 6 weeks, will be eating junk and drinking most days so wanna go over as lean as possible

I'm looking to put on lean muscle
6am- 2-4 poached eggs (may have a couple of bits of toast with peanut butter if really hungry) 7am- gym 8am- post workout shake (30g protein, 25g carbs) 10am- snack (celery & peanut butter, handful of almonds etc etc) 1pm- lunch (meat & veg or salad) 3.30pm- snack (can of tuna, cottage cheese etc etc) 5.30pm- dinner (meat & veg or salad)

If your going away soon I would just suggest keep doing what your doing and wait until you get back. Once your back decide what you want to do and run it past me and i'll see if I can offer any advice.

Jumped on the scales this morning, down to 102 which I'm pumped about.
Waist measurement -8cm, belly -13cm
Wouldn't say I'm still strictly following an Atkins diet, still high in protein though which is awesome because it makes You feel full.
Exercise has still been fairly minimal besides cricket.
It's amazing what happens when you watch what you eat!
