Back lawdsss

So I'm going on a charity walk tomorrow, and I'm going to make this for dinner - I reckon it's fairly healthy - any comments/additions? I am DETERMINED to get back on track - I had a little bit of a hiccup over the weekend (party-sized Mars bars are ridiculously tempting! ) but from tomorrow junk food is GONE.

Anyways, the meal - fried sea bass with black pepper, served with roasted sweet potato, courgette, chilli and mini corn cobs

Haha party sized mars bars? :P ....You don't need to give up all junk food as long as you're exercising :L

Hmmm I don't like sea bass, black pepper,courgette, chilli. :P ... Sounds healthy though! :P

You should try going without carbs for like 3 weeks then go back on them.. although if you give them up for 3 weeks you may never go back! :P

When I first started losing weight, I completely cut out carbs. I was
miserable and had no energy. After I almost passed out in the gym:o I sorted out my diet , I continued eating no carbs but I started eating high amounts of fat and protein. My only carbs came from the crappy protein I was taking. Now I started taking "junk" food again as the saying goes, so long as it fits your macros

What about fibre, doesn't that give you energy too?

The only thing I would be afraid of by compensating on carbs and eating additional proteins/fats would be bulking up - it's okay for people who want to follow a bodybuilding-esque regime but I just want to tone up, and I would be burning off any carbs I take in. I don't want to cut them out entirely for that reason

Hello.. Just back from the cinema. Went to see American Pie - The Reunion. It was pretty funny XD I was thinking of looking for some part time work this summer.. Don't know who'd hire me tbh! :L

I could never give up carbs - it couldn't happen!

Here's my handy cut-out-'n'-keep rule book for the next few weeks, if anyone wants to join me

1. I plan on eating 3 solid meals a day - breakfast, lunch and dinner - with a snack in between each meal.
2. I aim to drink at least 4 pint glasses of water per day, to prevent dehydration and boost metabolic rate.
3. No eating after 6 (I do most of my daily exercise after 6 o'clock anyways :L)
4. Aim to get to boxing 3/4 times a week, and if I don't get to boxing then do a muscle/cardio combo workout (any routine recommendations that I could do at home?). One rest day per week.
5. Increase my fibre intake but decrease my carbs intake (not cut it out entirely, though :L).

Not exactly. The body can't properly digest fibre so when it passes through your body it acts as a cleaning agent for your bowels.

1. I hate when people eat 6-7 large meals a day to try to boost to boost metabolism. It doesn't make a difference with regards metabolism although helps to avoid overeating

3.Carbs before bed are fine so long as you're hitting your daily calorie goals.

In point two you say drink water to increase metabolic rate, and in point one you say eat 3 meals a day. If you wan't to increase metabolic rate would you not eat like 7 small meals a day instead? .. Btw the 4 pints of water is pretty achievable .. I drink one with breakfast, 3 bottles (500ml) in school and one at dinner.

Sounds like a good plan though, but what about snacking?

Hmm, good point.... I've would consider a snack as a small meal in itself (i.e. fruit salad, smoothie, salad, etc.) - I eat at fairly fixed times, and school reinforces this routine, so I'm fitting my meals around my average day

I know it's achievable, but when I'm thirsty I always reach for the Robinson's before the tap :L water only tastes nice after a workout IMO

I think the spacing of your meals and the actual content of each meal is what counts, not how much you can eat to "regulate your metabolism" - I reckon it's people trying to justify eating more than they need to :pac:

Well it's something to think about :P

.. Haha I like water, when I go out anywhere I always have water too :L .................my friends make fun of me for it :P But you decrease the amount of sugars you're taing in by giving up all those other drinks :P

I take around 5 litres of water a day for my creatine to properly work.

Ikr....... and even the classes you do do stuff if you factor out the time you're coming in and going out from the class, the time the teacher spends correcting homework and the time you're sitting around either finished what you were told to do or waiting to be told to do something... you're left with like maybe 20 mins of actual work.
