A lot of the GF bread isn't great and it's quite expensive considering how much you get, but certain brands are better than others (I believe Kim may have mentioned those to you?). As you say though, some of it can be quite high in sugar, but from what I've found a lot of food which isn't specifically marked as gluten-free is actually free-from anyway, but they're "made in a factory that handles wheat" or something of the sort, so they can't advertise it as such. I find that meals with brown rice, chicken and things like peppers, tomato, spinach and occasionally something like honey, maple or pesto really add to the flavour. When I say maple, I don't mean the cheap maple syrup which is made just from sugar, I mean proper Canadian maple syrup which is organic, though it is high in natural sugars.

I don't really want to go to a gym, so I've been browsing reddit and found the following thread which I'm going to be following in the short term: http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/zc0uy/a_beginner_dumbbell_program_the_dumbbell_stopgap/

I've done this tonight and will be following the schedule alongside things like football or climbing, I'll post results/thoughts on it over the next couple of weeks

I do have sandwiches for tea usually, yes. Tried two types of GF bread, and also warburtons GF rolls and didn't like any of those - Im sure they made me feel worse anyway, guts churning all night until I could get rid... I couldn't get on with the texture at all though, was forcing it down tbh.

Then the other GF stuff like cakes/biscuits had a lot more sugar than the normal equivalent and tasted awful and made me feel ill. So after that I gave up on that idea. I know it may not have been long enough but I couldn't put up with eating that stuff forever tbh. I dunno how Kim does it!

As for flavour...I dont really like flavour lol, bland and boring suits me fine, its more texture for me, and that pastey kind of texture of the GF bread wasn't nice at all.

The only thing left for me to try cutting out now is dairy...as I have cheese most days tbh, either in a sandwhich or at dinner with chicken/cheese/ham or pasta/cheese/bacon etc.

Well if you're going to eat cakes and biscuits they're full of sugar no matter whether they're GF or not Fruit is sweet and has natural sugars and is GF, why not try that as a substitute? Most chocolate is GF but then again that's dairy, so partly what you're trying to avoid. Eat Natural bars are GF and are really good as a snack, and they're reasonably sweet as some have honey, others have yoghurt or again, some have dark chocolate.

Are you not too keen on rice then?

Kas cheers for posting that

but Grenades worked a treat, on other hand i have a mate who was other way round so all depends how your body reacts also

make sure you read the nutrition and order the right one..i ended up ordering something that has more carbs than protein so ive noticed ive slowly put on a bit of weight as well as muscle lol

Extremely good point there, always check nutritional info as you want low low carb protiens etc, thermabol dont seem to work for me they work by raising body temperature, ive used clenbuterol (wont find in shops) and T6's as not like t5s which are basically whizz an efridin (cant spell)

I found L Cartinine and tribulus terrestris to be good to help strip the tribulus help muscle maintenance whilse losing fat also

Its usually like 100 quid to buy but obv we all love torrents I did 3 weeks of it before blowing my knee out in a basketball game but I lost 7lbs but noticed how much muscle gain I got. I'm going to be starting this workout when I come off holiday next tuesday if anyone would like progress pictures or even sending the program just ask

Hi matey ive kind of stopped the strict diet as not entering the competition as was losing my mind witht the hardcore training i do and how often i did it and the short deadline and i feel tiny atm and want to get massive before i contemplate entering a comp lol

Ive klost over a stone and a half in 4 weeks and 6 inches of my waist and kinda maintained it everywhere else.

My diet looked like this

you can eat anything you like as long as you stick within these daily parameters
and dont eat carbs after 3pm you can get away with 5-7g carbs with tea ie veg or salad

Days 1-3

Protein 250g
Carbs 150g
Fats 75g
No more than 1000 kals

Day 4

Protein 250g
Carbs 250g
Fats 65g
No more than 1000 kals

Days 5-7

Protein 250g
Carbs 50g
Fats 100g
No more than 1000 kals

Day 8

Treat day eat whatever you want

its a ballache measuring and counting everythin out but well worth it the results were amazing but i just dont feel myself at 14.5st

I am back on a bulking programme and want to hit about 18st and then drop to 17 lean


Dont bother with all these pre workout suppliments they are a load of shite and if you want to lose weight they hold a lot of water with the creatine levels

Get som Beta Alanine from my protein take 2 full teaspoons twice a day and see how you feel after 2 weeks of use as u will feel it kick in after taking it but the results after 2 weeks i can get about 4-6 extra reps per set
