Sick of being Fat

[Captain Turdseye]

Beak? Like cocaine? Does that help keep weight down? Might give it a try. Are there any negative side-effects?

You’re a driving instructor, aren’t you? If anything it’ll make you better at your job.

15st 8lbs down to 13st.

 

Was really hoping I’d be under the 13st mark but can’t really complain so far.

Great stuff. Lighter, fitter, healthier, and free of a second car off the expenses list.

The cycling must be getting easier now you aren't carrying that around with you.

It’s far easier than it used to be. Can’t say it’s got to the point of enjoying it but I’m not waking up dreading the ride.

We didn’t have that before as I worked in town and had the joys of public transport.

 

If I can get down to 12st 7lb I’ll be made up. When I went lower than that in Dubai I looked I’ll and AIDS ridden.

[Pidge]

I’ve never even tried it. However, I do wonder why so many of the people I’ve seen, in the pub and at the match, who shove it up their nose like it’s going out of fashion, are lardy bastards.

If I started on the beak I'd probably see one of those trucks with the ramps for cars to go up and start thinking I'm a stunt trainer.

[Lario]

If ye're in need of a quick weight loss program!

 

[Anubis]

No. Doing 3 days a week on 600 cals and 20g carbs. And taking vast quantities of beak.

Heroin beats cocaine. You never see a heroin addict with an ounce of fat on them.

I've decided to give this intermittent fasting a go. I'm going with the RedKinight alternative days. Today is a food day (healthy breakfast, dinner and tea) and tomorrow will be my first fasting day.  To be honest, I don't think fasting during the working week will be too much of a chore, as there are loads of days I go without breakfast or lunch and don't feel it. It'll be the fasting day that falls on the weekend where I'll struggle.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Fasting every other day? Is that not a bit much?

[Anubis]

I'm not keen on the whole 18 hour cycle thing, particularly as certain aspects of my job could fuck it up. One day on, one day off is easier to manage, and reportedly better for fat loss.  As I say, it wont be a huge struggle Mon-Fri as I can easily miss meals during the day depending on commitments.

I always remember John Cooper Clarke saying since he stopped taking hard drugs people have been shouting at him "Hey Clarkey, you fat cunt, get back on the crack!"  He's about 5 stone wet through.

Not eating at all on one day?

[Anubis]

Not eating at all on one day?

Yes.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Yes.

I've become quite experienced at this over the past 7 months, and I think going into it as quickly as that might be a mistake. Regularly skipping days is probably something you should work up to.

 

Also, there's a maniac on YT who would be worth you watching. He's called snakediet. He lives that way, eating 6k cals every other day.

I should be clear. That's an example of how not to do it. It's too hardcore. His electrolyte drink looks decent though.

I did think it was a bit extreme!

Gonna give that a go for a few days and see what's what.

 

Had my last food at 12:30 today, had a game of 5-a-side while ago, and dropped a "real" electrolyte tablet in a pint of water to get me over the run around. Will start the snake juice tomorrow.

 

He has a simple version of the juice, which is basically sodium and potassium.

Strangely I found it easy to find Himalayan Pink Salt, but I'd be fucked if I could find sodium free "salt".

Closest thing I could find is Lo-Salt, which is pretty much 34.6g potassium and 13.1g sodium per 100g.

The juice is pretty much 5g of potassium* and 4g sodium in each 2 litres of water, so doing some basic maths, it worked out at 11g of Lo-Salt (4.95g potassium and 1.9g sodium), and then 2.1g of HPS to bring the sodium up to the 4g.

 

Have them all measured out for the next 4 days, and bought a 6x2lt pack of spring water. So it's just a case of popping the powder into the bottle at night, into the fridge, and bring to work the next day. Piece of piss.

 

He also mentioned Lemon Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar. I'm not a fan of either, so I'm not gonna ruin the taste of the water with it. I bought some ACV, and I'm just gonna chug a couple of tablespoons of that maybe morning and night.

 

Into the breach once more...

 

* - That Potassium figure is the Recommended Daily Allowance, so it's ok if you're putting the whole thing into a 2 litre drink. Obviously if you were doing 3 litres, add a third to the sodium value, but the potassium shouldn't go above the RDA.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Amazon. It’s called ‘no salt’.

[Lario]

Cheers.

 

Tis no good to me when I wanted to start tomorrow.

 

Will definitely pick some up if I don't keel over this time though.

[Numero Veinticinco]

How lucky no you going for?

[Champ]

How lucky no you going for?

Have you had a stroke, NV?

[Karl_b]

You're all fucking mad with this fasting lark.

[Lario]

How lucky no you going for?

 

I assume that's some sort of roundabout way of asking how long am I gonna try it for?

 

Well I'm hoping until Friday. Have a company bbq that night, so if I can stay off the beer and maybe have a few JD and Coke Zeros, it'll be a good low carb refeed.

 

Checked in at 211.8lbs this morning.

Had 3 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar for breakfast. Tis horrible!

Have my 2 litres of snakejuice next to me here in the office, and I'll sip away on that during the say. Basically tastes like seawater, but without all the whale spunk.
