i'd say not even fruit in active weight loss mode and limited fruit even in weight maintenance mode. fructose! seems to turn on the desire to eat more, just makes it harder!skull wrote:Not even fruit?shashicyclewala wrote: sugar in any form

I lost around 20kg eating 3 to 4 serves of fruit per day. It did not make me hungry. Chocolate, cakes, biscuits, muffins, lollies etc make me hungry, but not fruit. But if you eat fruit and it makes you hungry, don't eat it! Eat vegetables.feral grasshopper wrote:i'd say not even fruit in active weight loss mode and limited fruit even in weight maintenance mode. fructose! seems to turn on the desire to eat more, just makes it harder!skull wrote:Not even fruit?shashicyclewala wrote: sugar in any form

Eating lots of cherries will give you diarrhoea due to the sorbitol content (sorbitol being a laxative) - that may or may not be a useful weight loss strategy.casual_cyclist wrote:I lost around 20kg eating 3 to 4 serves of fruit per day.

I have, on many occasions, had a 3kg day to day variation - I'm 100kg, so say 3%. Sometimes it's easy to see why, eg. spent 12 hrs on the bike and it was 30 degrees, or spent 12 hrs on the couch and ate 2 kg of highly processed carbs, but other times it seems strange. Anyway, personally I don't make any judgements about weight gain/loss on anything less than 2 weeks, even though the daily tracking gives me a natural filtering insight.
Not really acusing anyone of this, but I do find it amusing when people claim to "have put on 2 kg last week" or similar. Sure, weight goes up and down, largely via small percentage changes in body fiulds and current gut mass, but given fat levels are what people are really in it just isn't possible. Thermodynamicaly you need 15,000+ Calories deficiet/excees to loose/gain 2kg of fat. Just not physically possible for most people to do that.
So in summary, do something consistent. Do it for a few months. Make a judgement on how it going and adjust. In my opinion it is really long term is what matters

No matter how much I try I put on weight from October onwards... Reduced kms due to weather deteriorating and reduced motivation due to end of season ( even though I always try to motivate myself for cross ).
Mid Jan to end of Feb is usually the biggest gain... Coincides with harshest part of winter and no racing / low motivation levels.
March / April motivation and kms rise and weight slowly drops.
June to Aug weight falls off due to big kms ( although racing falls off due to riding bike as a job ).
Sept / October plateau?.
If only I could break the cycle in the next two months!... Oh to be able to go south for a month of sun!.

Backed off a bit on the purely raw side of it... I like hot meals in the cold, probably why weight has crept back up again!.

Dr Kristin Keim's blog Reality Check: Enjoy the process and the journey. has some interesting insights into why a focus on achieving goals can be difficult if not futile.
It links to two very good articles by John Clear and Scott Adams (author of Dilbert).
Essentially, it advocates using a systems approach rather than goal-oriented approach, where you set up a system to move towards an outcome. So rather than say you want to
lose X kgs by a particular date, you might systematically (day by day) substitute better dietary choices for poor ones. And similarly build a stronger exercise regime
in small increments until your results develop. And you use any failures or stalls as learning opportunities to help you refine or choose a better system.
Kristin's focus as a sports psychologist is on helping athletes achieve results - but the principles can equally well be applied to achieving weight loss results.
Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us -Jerry Garcia

Id put money on it Ive eaten more fruit than any other Australian in the last decade.
Id put money on it there is plenty of people that cycle more than me in the last decade. Lots of em in fact.
Id put money on it that none of them is leaner than me in the last decade.
Its not genetics like I keep saying. My mother is clinically obese.
Fruit is fattening? Where are these obese fruitarians at McDonalds filling up their dining tray with apples and fruit juice?
Come on gang, the leanest person on this forum eats more fruit than any other aussie. Do you want to see the aussie that eats the most steak? Do you honestly think they will be slim, trim and healthy like me? Dr Atkins made millions selling that bs notion. Tell people good things about their bad habits and you will be an amazon best seller even when you died obese with heart disease.
