Sorry would also add people shouldnāt get hung up on the weight that they get but it is more about he composition.
The key thing is to retain muscle (would suggest 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound body weight to help retain muscle mass) and reduce fat thourgh maintable cal deficit.
If you burn up muscle it will reduce your base metabolic rate, muscles cost a lot of cals to maintain and the more muscle you have the more cals you will burn when your not training.
Anyway I am well interested in all this stuff so will post any useful things relevant for wider consumption.
hahahahaha no my interest is long held, just needed a new goal to strive for after joining the chubb club over the last 3 months of slackness/travelling/drinking/being cool.
Right fellow fat fuckers - just heading to do 45mins on the turbo trainerā¦ will be back shortly subject to not suffering and adverse cardiovascular events
As Iāve mentioned, use the Sufferfeast videos to workout to. They made me work so hard before that Iāve had to get my Mrs to unclip me and help me off the bike. Iāve a few downloaded that I can pop into a dropbox.
Cheers, but not quite ready for that yet. I keep getting flashbacks to last May; the pain of being 15Km up Tourmalet with 3 to goā¦ and it getting fucking coldā¦ having lost the will to liveā¦ lost huge amount of fitness over summer and with broken ribsā¦so easing back in gently

I made the mistake of tackling it in August. It was so hot I thought I was just going to keel over and die. Iāll never be a mountain goat, more of a classics rider but doing it that heat was simply insane of me.
More of a Sprinter meā¦ took me 2 hours to get up that bastard 18C at bottome -3C at top and serious wind chill coming downā¦ scariest thing this fat boy has ever doneā¦ still 6ft of snow at top and col only just openedā¦ but cafe not open to warm up
I have a Hungarian friend who finds it really odd that we in the main have our big meal in the evening. Me on the other hand used to sit and watch him munch through a 3 course meal in the work canteen and think it was very odd. He used to swear by not eating anything after 6pm. I also knew a Belarusian (not sure how f that is the correct spelling) who used to not eat after 5pm!
I do have to say that both my friends are pretty skinny!
Funny you should mention that I am doing the exact same as of yesterday.
Having porridge + protein shake for breakie, then today had fish with a mountain of brocolli with desert for lunch and now have just ate 2 skinless chicken breasts + protein shake for dinner.
I have come off the toast wagon already. I had chilli and rice, but only 1 cup of rice and 2 of chilli, still came in for the day at 1,300 of the 1,700 that I am supposed to have.
Think I am going to switch. I am in a strong position as I love nearly all food, so looking to fill up on veg!
Iām having a very successful week so far! Completely following my plan!
Yoghurt for brekkie, lamb burger without the bap + salad for lunch. NO kitkat. NO coke. Trout + broccoli + courgette for dinner + 3 large glasses of Prosecco. And a who can hold a plank the longest competition with my house mate (1:50, but she still beat me).
