Dr Gloom 19825 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Gloomy fucker i'm only offering advice because i've been there. for years i lost weight but still couldn't lose the love handles. then i did some research realised my approach - my obession with weight loss rather than fat loss was where i was going wrong. you don't need to do the research because it's been offered on a plate on this thread. seriously, do yourself a favour and get your BF measured.

Gemmill 34464 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Alternatively, just check the fat content in a bag of pork crackling. It'll not be far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Ive said to you before though, you are at a total different end of the scale to me. Im quite happy to shed the two of three stone (which by the way is being done very sensibly and not by a crash diet) while increasing my level of fitness (which I have been doing in tandem with eating healthily). Regardless of whatever else you say, this has to be a better option than remaining fat and doing no exercise. I can never see myself doing kettle bell circuits or the like because I dont like exercise enough to be wanting to be as heavily involved in it as some of you are. As long as I can stay slim and keep up a level of exercise that I am happy with then that is all Im after. As for putting weight back on I really cant see that happening because I am now making healthy meals from scratch and cutting out lots of shit that I used to eat before. Of course I will still have the odd naughty once in a while but it will remain once in a while and not 2 or 3 times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Down to 2 shits today, and they were quite brief. I think the switch period with eating earlier resulted in an avalanche of poos yesterday. Let's hope it'll stick this way, I'm not eating anything past 9pm now. I wonder if you're a bit dehydrated as a result of your lifestyle? Roughage + plenty of hydration should equal softer stools and easier motions. Curious that things briefly changed for the better in Paris, what was different? I ate a lot less, I was on less than 2.5k calories/day in Paris easy. There was a free breakfast at my place consisting of: un croissant un bowl of cereal un piece of bread un piece of toast une drink of orange Then I'd just have a baguette or two as I was exploring Paris by foot. Was unable to cook in the kitchen provided, it was shite. Microwaved some potatoes/veg and had tinned fish with it, that was the best I could manage. Had a nice pizza with a chick from New York, but that was thin base, not very filling. I've started drinking more water/juice recently for better hydration, today I've only had one shit so far and it was fine. I think eating huge meals at midnight was very bad for my digestion.

Howay 12458 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Struggling to lose the last few percent to get the abs showing (sitting around the 11-12% mark) so I've been adding in cardio (mainly rowing as far as I can for 7 minutes and some bodyweight circuits/barbell complex's) and I've noticed I get a pain in my chest and sometimes wheezy sounding breathing after it, this could be down to my lower aerobic fitness level (I've always been a sprinter + weightlifter so mainly favored anaerobic activity) so I could just be needing fitness but I've read online that the symptoms are a nod to the possibility of exercise induced Asthma. I know odd place to ask (out of country at the moment so can't get to doctor for another 2 month) but does anyone else get chest pain/wheezyness post cardio. If it is this type of Asthma it would have come on recently as I've always been active, I was a sprinter all through school, former Marine reservist etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12458 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Aye I've been on a strict diet for about 3 month now which has been working (albeit slowly as my bodyfat wasn't too high), I'm going to go to my GP once I'm home just wondering if anyone had similar.

The most likely explanation if you're fairly young and fit is that you've got a low grade infection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
