Losing weight/fitness thread

Yep. The very reason athletes use it as a quick refuel.

Makes total sense when you think properly about it!!

I need to start thinking more about stuff

Banana’s definitely great pre gym when it’s an early start and a kick start is needed, the potassium also replaces lists minerals from sweating which prevents / reduces cramps

I’m just back from 5 nights in Benidorm with the Mrs and some friends to celebrate a 40th. One meal a day was left in the UK. Food and drink galore and way, way in excess of normal, as you’d imagine. Zero exercise other than walking (was hoping to swim every day but pool was beyond cold - lasted 30 seconds and still waiting for testes to descend) but did do over 10k steps per day like normal.

Weighed myself this morning expecting to see a significant impact only to find I’d gained 2lbs. Two. Ate fried breakfast every morning with a full fat coke, snacks, ice creams, evening meal and usually a pizza/kebab on way home. Pints/bottles/rum/shots all day and night. Ha, makes no sense.

Most of that will be retained food in the system. A decent week and that will be gone.

Hopefully. I’d expected 7lbs plus and was shocked to see how little I’d put on, given the amount I’d eaten and drank.

Clearly needed to drink more.

Saw a post on which fruit to avoid when trying to limit sugars and banana was the one they mentioned. I didn't realise at all!!

And the more ripe they are the more sugar

And the more ripe they are the more sugar is in them.
So eat them green!

A bit under Half a pound a day is still something like 150 pounds a year if you'd kept it up at that rate.
