The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Gingawaria]

I'm targeted at 1610 a day. Bang on yesterday...700 or so left to go today.

[Phoenix07]

I was thinking that. Better portion control

I'll just plate it up myself!

That's the way to do it!

How many calories did you go over by Shaggy on your first day?

[Shaggy]

Went over by 258

[Mattshark]

My limit (with my target of losing 2lbs a week) is 1200 calories. Went over it on the first day, and was pretty much bang on yesterday. Only got 200 or so left today so that's me ****ed

That isn't healthy mate, and it'll make it harder for you to keep weight off.

[Mattshark]

guys you are planning diets that leave you around 1000kcal below you basic needed amount, this type of dieting is ineffective and unhealthy, stick to at least 2000kcal min and add a little extra exercise, much better and more successful in long term,

You can get away with that!

You mean in terms of when I let the guard down and indulge in a big calorific meal or a load of beer?

Day 1 went ok for me.

It's easy to make myself something healthy for breakfast and lunch but my Missus' Mum always cooks tea and as she's not watching what she eats, she just cooks whatever she wants.

Last night wasn't TOO bad, as it was a roast chicken breast with peas and sweetcorn. It was the mash, roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding and gravy that put it over the edge. Might have to start cooking my own tea!

I got a good hour in on the Kinect though so that'll help.

Mash and roast potatoes?

**** it off, Shaggy. 1200 calories is third world debt dieting. You'll not have enough energy to exercise if you stick to that. Isn't the average consumption for a chick supposed to be 1500?

You'd be better served just tweaking ****. Y'kna have porridge or Musili for breaky instead of bread, try soups or salad for lunch (if you really want a sandwich have pittas instead of stotties). Eat what the **** you want for tea. If you chuck in a brisk walk every day and a light run a couple of times a week you'll be fine.

And anyone that tells you to totally cut down carbs is a lying cunt. You just need to make sure you have a way to burn them off.

I wouldn't get out of bed for less than 1200 calories let alone live a day in a 1200c world!

You'll all be asking if your bum looks big next

I blame the levels of oestrogen in the drinking water... and all the breast enhancers pumped into KFC... Mmmm KFC. Not making anyone hungry am I?

Yeah pretty much, your body will slow metabolism down so it can become easier to gain weight. 1200kcal is the very lower limit of safe female kcal intake

NHS say basically that a 600kcal drop below recommended (2500kcal) is the sensible way to go about it. So around 1900-2000kcal a day and add a half hour walk a day or even every 2 and you'd see a difference.

2000kcal for women, 2500kcal for men.

Haha I just wanna lose the stone or two I've put on recently. Alex lost 2 stone in 8 weeks, that's just awesome

1200 does seem precious little though. My breakfast was about 400 calories alone and that was just a cup of tea, two slices of brown toast and a ****in banana

Nice one, I can handle that.
