Reborn Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 How bad for you is bread, in terms of losing weight? I hear quite a bit said about it being the one thing to avoid when dieting no matter what plan you're following. I have 2 x small wholemeal brown bread slices per day and 1 x large white flour tortilla per day. Couple of folk in work reckon this is too much still?!   Bollocks, as long as you burn more calories than you consume you'll lose weight.  What Danger says. I've been having toasites, sandwiches, paninis all white bread and still shedding weight. Again, aslong as you are burning more calories than whats going into you. Im eating 1700 a day and dropping roughly a lb a week. Thats great going for me as im looking to drop wight in the long run, not 2 stone by summer etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Good to know guys, cheers. I lost over 2 stone a couple of years back on pretty much the same diet/exercise regime so I'm gonna keep on with it as I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stunner Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hit my first brick wall, I think... I've been sticking to it (minus last weekend when I was away), but the last few days I've been almost laid up with back pain which makes it hard to move (especially when in bed) plus pain underneath the knee, behind my shins and in my ankles (which have also swollen to buggery). The suggestion via quick Google searches is that I've overworked them after so long living a sedentary lifestyle. Â Problem is, I'm now dreading my jogging and I know I need to have a break from it for a few days, but I also know I'll end up out of the loop and it'll be a bastard to get back into from there, so I need to find another method for a few days whilst I give my back and legs a rest. Â Any ideas? Â Cheers everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted February 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 You should try walking. I had to quit the running due to having a six month spell of keeping on getting Sciatica from it. Haven't had a re-occurance walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted July 21, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'm looking into DDP Yoga, but he makes it very complicated on his site. There's DVD packs, MP3 packs, Combo packs, an App, all sorts. Where would I start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stunner Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 I'm looking into DDP Yoga, but he makes it very complicated on his site. There's DVD packs, MP3 packs, Combo packs, an App, all sorts. Where would I start?  Same for me. I had no idea what I was supposed to do.  Has anyone done the Boditrax thing? I got referred by my GP to the local leisure facility to get this Boditrax thingy done. It's like weighing yourself but it works out everything, from percentages, BMI, metabolism, all sorts.  It was fascinating stuff; unsurprisingly my body fat percentage is quite high, but my body muscle percentage is actually really quite high as well (about 62%), so I've been told to stick specifically to fat burning exercises, with some resistance training to retain the muscle. That said, I'm also fairly confused on account of the fact that by reading up about healthy muscle percentages, I fell onto one of those bodybuilding forums where they all insist their muscle rate is at 40-50%... so what's going on there?  The worst (but least surprising) element for me was my metabolic rate. Out of 24, my metabolism is rated 1. It literally couldn't be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted July 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 22, 2016 Tried the DDP yoga. Had to give up as the constant tensing of the muscles gave me cramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 If you get chance cramp a lot then you need to make sure you're hydrated. Dehydration is why you tend to wake up a bit sore after a night on the booze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted July 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 22, 2016 With DDP Yoga, is there a minimum term for the App subscription? That's his newest product, so if you can try it just for a month or two that might be the best thing to do, rather than chuck a load of money at the full set of DVDs etc and then find it's not really for you. I haven't used the app, so can't comment on whether it's any good or not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The British Bushwacker Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I'm looking to start DDP Yoga shortly having got hold of the dvds reasonably, could do with losing a bit, not too much but i'm a bit wobbly where i'd rather not be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish Dad Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 After a nasty breakup I've decided I need to shift some weight, been doing the 5/2 diet for a couple of weeks and it's working for me. So five days a week I make sure to come in at under 2000 calories, and the other two I restrict right down to 600 calories. The fast days are pretty hellish, but I'm dropping weight rapidly and not putting it back on. Six pounds in two weeks feels good, and getting comments from people at work.
