[Inspire Cleaning]

Hi,

I changed you diet/lifestyle about two years ago and it has completely changed my life. I have virtually deleted all types of sugar from my diet. My body burns natural fat instead of glucose. This gives me an even fuel supply all day long without insulin being pumped into my bloodstream because of sugar spikes. I burn natural fat as a fuel which comes from my diet and my fat reserves.

My weight at the moment is 11.5 stones and I'm 6ft 1"  I used to suffer from depression and migraine, this is what made me change my diet. I don't have depression anymore nor migraines. I have never really been over weight. Had a bit of a pot belly a few years back because of eating crap/sugar/beer.

Things I don't eat now are............

Potatoes
Pasta
Rice
Bread
Pastries
Biscuits
Any whole grains
Oats
wheat
barley
Milk
Fruit juice
Beer (liquid bread)
Bananas
Oranges
Melons
Anything that grows under ground.
Anything with added sugar or high in fructose
Anything "Low Fat" Don't be fooled your eating a chemical poop storm!!

Things I do eat are.......

Red Meat
Poultry
Oily fish
Pork
Eggs
Bacon
Sausage 90% Meat
Single & double cream
Lots of green veg
Peppers
Chillies
Salad lots of
Full Fat yogurts
Full fat mayo
Lots of cheese
Chocolate as a treat 70% cocoa
Flax seed
Sesame seed
Sunflower seed
Walnuts
Cashew Nuts
Hazelnuts
Almonds
Coconut Oil/Milk
2 Litres of bottled water a day
Odd glass go whir/red wine
Any spirits :-)

Following this lifestyle is so simple when you get used to it. You don't have any food cravings. You only eat when your hungry. Because your eating a high fat content and hardly no carbs you stay fuller for longer and have high/constant energy levels all day long.

LCHF = Low calorie High Fat

If done incorrectly your body can go into ketosis when its starved of carbs for to long!
Read up on mens health, they always advise after a period of time dieting(no carbs diet) have a carb loading day.

This is essentially Atkins diet.
It's brilliant for cutting.
Aren't you slightly under weight for your height though?

Yes I try to stay in Ketosis all of the time. I know when I'm in ketosis because I feel great. If I lose my will power and cheat ( going for a few drinks with mates then tuck into a curry) I pay the price for about two weeks!! It takes that long for your body to get back into ketosis. Those two weeks feel like I have eaten poop, which essentially I have. :-)

Remember I am on a high natural fat diet. Lots of butter, cream, oily fish etc. Because of this I'm not on a diet to lose weight but concentrating on keeping my blood sugar/insulin levels correct.

The original Atkins Diet advised you to eat lots of man made fats & Omega 3. I eat natural fats, lots of butter cream, oily fish & fatty steaks.

I have always been lanky & quite skinny. I still have plenty of fat on me which I would like to turn to muscle.

Just as a comparison.......Did you watch the Boxing last night? Carl Froche v George Groves at Wembly in front go 80,000 people. Carl won in the Eighth round.   Anyway Carl's stats are..... Aged 36... 6FT 1"....11 St 13"  3% body fat.

Injecting is better, its less toxic on the liver

I doubt Froch had 3% bodyfat? 

[Inspire Cleaning]

I doubt Froch had 3% bodyfat? 

Here you go....thought I had read it somewhere. He reckons he closer to 2% pre fight.

This is making me hungry!

http://www.boxingnewsonline.net/bnactive/training/carl-froch-on-how-to-live-like-a-champion

and so he should be pre fight

interesting thing would be what he like when not training

Yep that's what it says in that article but personally I think that's exaggerating a bit.
In this article he says 8% which I think is more believable:  http://www.boxingnews24.com/2014/05/froch-im-not-sure-groves-will-ever-be-a-world-champion-not-tough-enough/

Some bodybuilders and long distance running athletes can get their body fat down to 3% but most people cannot ever reach that level, it's certainly not a level that a boxer needs to reach.
At 3% and below the body loses it's ability to maintain it's core temperature.

[Don Kee]

Surely the bodyfat stats given are for the weigh-in anyway?
They tend to put weight on between the weigh-in and actual fight (most of the time) so the body fat % would again change

[Sean Dyer]

Food is what your body wants for energy. Maybe if you are an ultra athlete who needs a bit extra then there's special drinks ? But carbs and a healthy breakfast should give you all you need.
I found last year  when I made sure I drank 3L of water a day at least and ate right as well as running a few times a week it felt great

I admit I drink coffee in the morning - fresh bean coffee to wake up a bit .

But I only drink water unless it's weekend and I fancy a proper drink been polishing a nice bottle of auchentoshan this weekend

Stay well away from that energy drink crap.

Only time I touch lucozade is if I'm ill and can't eat otherwise it's all a con and not good for you

[Sean Dyer]

On the body fat percentage - below about 8% unless your body building your body as an athlete would actually be less efficient

A lot of athletes are around 10% or just over

[H20cleaning]

Yes but once you have had energy drinks for so long your body needs that little kick on. Morning, and food just doesnt do it for me! I have a great diet aswell full of
Proteins and small carbs

Sorry matey! but your body doesnt need it,it wants it, sugar addiction

My food diet i was on about, im big on the gym and play football at a good level so this could be the reason i feel i used to need the drinks because i was doing a lot
Of excercise aswell as a physical job.
My diet is very good apart from the energy drinks wich i stopped drinking 2 weeks ago, i had a berocca today and so far i feel quite wide awake

[ascjim]

Porridge for energy and water for hydration

Perfect! You cant get any better
