Oh and yesterday I had a 21 day aged fillet steak chips, mushrooms, tomatoes and a side of baked beans because they needed using. Steak was cooked to perfection with a rub of extra virgin olive oil and just a light dusting of salt and pepper, oh god it was good. 🤤Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Must take a massive amount of discipline to start with? How many calories a dinner? How do you keep the hunger at bay, lots of coffee? Must be saving a lot in food bills.itboffin said:

To be honest I was slightly surprised with your portion control but I didn’t want to say anything and look stupid in case it was well know that you cycled a Tour de France per week.itboffin said:Made a chicken tikka biryani boy that was a lot of effort and as per usual my portion control was totally out, made enough for six, two of which i've eaten already
Anyway. Pics next time please.
I’ve been doing it since first lockdown and have it nailed now, I’m not sure if it’s because everything is cooked fresh and 90% healthy foods or the time of day i eat is very early so I’m constantly in effect fasting, I’ve worked out 154lb and 10% body fat works for me, I’m light for climbing and have enough energy for long hard club rides (those were the days). As for cycling I did well over 8000 miles last year and my goal is 9000 this year, in fact this week I’ve increased time on bike from 8-10 hours to 9-11 hours, food intake will be adjusted accordingly.

No idea about calories but I don’t use things like butter cream cheese or anything processed if I can but if a recipe has those items I’ll reduce the amounts, lots of fresh veg in fact I’ve been alternating vegan, veggie, seafoods and meat diets, hunger is fine because the main meal is very large, I drink plenty of water and beer, a handful of mixed nuts and raisins in the evening. I had to cut my coffee habit from 10+ cups a day to 1 because it was making me unwell, as for food bills yep down from £2k a month with loads of waste to £250 with absolutely zero waste, hence beans with my steak.
I find it really annoying that packs of some veg are so big it’s almost impossible not to waste foodRule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

I think all these fad diets are bollocks to be honest.
Three meals a day, nothing banned, just eat things in moderation and if you want to lose weight, consume less calories than you burn off.
I can't fathom how you could spend £2k a month on food bills, but then again, one of the months before lockdown I went through the bank statement and we spent £600 that month and teas, coffee, cakes and lunches on our says out, not even dinners out.0 -
Yep [no offence ITB]elbowloh said:I think all these fad diets are bollocks to be honest.
I eat like a horse.
I don't do nearly enough bike miles.
I love cheese, cream and loads of carbs ...and protein ...and veg...and salad in large quantities. Love pastries and cake and biscuits. Dunking biscuits - Hobnobs, they're ace.
I'm 63kg's
However, i'm down to 1 coffee per day. No other caffeine - not even tea. I've substituted the tea's and coffees for Cocoa (with very little sugar). Not drinking chocolate before anyone starts jumping up and down a bit.
But i'm not as handsome as Seano.

I’ve never been a fan of sweets biscuits cake or pudding so that was easy, I don’t know if OMAD diet is a fad it’s been a thing since humans as we know us existed because you’d spend all day finding hunting gathering your food eat it and that’s that, Palio diet type bs. Whatever it works for me, I could never be 63kg as I spent my youth in the gym so I’m still muscle up top even as an old git.
I think ultimately it’s about finding that balance of weight vs performance whilst being healthy ie not TDF GC Physique.

Mmm mmm, just had (first time in ages) thai style green style curry, chicken based with yellow not green peppers as didn't have any green in fridge. The Mae Ploy paste base flavour ingredient is a wee belter. And my collection of dried chillis from n years back are On It.
(Btw sowed some Thai Hot seeds from at least 2 years back, didn't grow any from seed last year due to domestic chaos, and v high % germination rate. They are toughies. #respeck)0 -
