A personal trainer used say to me that “you can’t out run a bad diet”, and I believe that mentality. Also, HB is totally right to focus on the damage done by sugar. Modern food demands that you keep a close eye on sugar content in foods where you wouldn’t expect a high content. The high content in biscuits and soft drinks is well known, but dairy products etc can amaze.

Totally agree. You can do a 5k on a saturday, burn 4/500 calories, then that evening feel like you've earned a 1500 calorie pizza and 4 beers. Quickly undoes all the goodness

You burn off calories getting up off your balloon knot every 10 minutes and walking to the sh*tter for a wizz.



LOL

Doing 5km runs each night for the last 6 days myself but I haven't restricted my diet.  Probably wasting my timeLOL

I tried that, loads of running but no change to diet, lost a few pounds at the start but then nothing.
You need to exercise and cut back on food/drink.

Congrats Baggio btw. Big smile
 
I've not been to the gym since the little man was born, been trying to take him out for long walks in the pram to at least get off my arse.
 
Totally worth all the sleeplessness though.
 
I've lost some weight with the diet alone but I don't think i could do a pressup at this stage as I've no exercise at all. Felt fitter when I was fatter.

Disagree. It varies from person to person.

Some people are born with slow metabolisms, some people have abnormal metabolisms.

I'm the latter and the people who fit into the former seriously dislike me for when I'm scoffing that Big Mac and the calorie intake is gone by half the day, girls generally go berserk if you tell em that too.

But that Big Mac may be the only “treat” of the day or the week. If you don’t snack on sugary foods, don’t drink soft drinks, generally avoid white bread, drink spirits with low sugar mixers, or neat, it’s not to do with abnormal metabolism, it is just a sensible lifestyle.

Now if you tell me that you eat all that, on top of several Big Macs a week, and not jump on a treadmill I’d be amazed. But if you do, that exercise binge in Poland may have something to do with it.

This!

In the early days, food becomes functional as you try to come to terms with erratic nights. Scrambling eggs in the morning, or peeling vegetables for dinner becomes less of a priority, especially if you don’t have help at the ready from grandparents etc.

But, I can assure you, life returns to normal relatively quickly. Especially when the baby moves to solids, and can eat what you eat. At that point you’re making good, healthy food, and when bedtime routine settles you can start having runs and gym sessions again.

That was uncalled for LOL

I eat alot of sh*t, infact I eat 5 meals a day. The 2nd meal is always the not-so-athletic meal, more grease than John Travolta but when I'm not at work I think I average about burning 4000 cals a day.

Not the greatest runner in the world (but definitely the best walker) smoking 20 fags a day is probably the biggest factor in that

Only advice I can give on the baby thing is to try make small changes to your day. Cycle to work if possible, or get off the bus/DART a few stops earlier to get a walk in, go to the gym at lunch time so it's not impacting your morning/evening time with the new arrival. These small changes make a massive difference.

For food, I just blocked out 2 hours on a Sunday and batch cooked a load of curries/chilli/bolognese etc and froze them. Dead handy for re-heating during the week as the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was cook.

If you had the money, you could also use one of the meal delivery services that send you out your lunch/dinners every week. Again, all healthy and convenient, but pricey
I dont email the count anymore, its been 9 months : ( He even sent me a YBIG scarf for my Birthday

Sorry Coyne, couldn’t resist!

But you are burning significant calories. I think that makes a major difference, especially if you are burning at that level. And walking certainly had its place, and people often don’t view general, non exercise based walking as having little or no utility from an exercise point of view, when in fact it does. I was amazed o learn I average 5k per day on a day where I just do my commute.

Two weeks shy of 18months and no that time have lost almost 7.5 stone. Eat well and often and watch portion size. Drink loads of water. Avoid sugar and processed foods. Ok to have odd few drinks and even chocolate and desserts but avoid fast foods. Do some form of exercise every day. Get enough sleep but don’t oversleep. A little prep and planning and just motivate yourself every day.

I've done those 7 day military diets a load of times and typically lose 10 to 14lbs, most of that in the first 3 or 4 days. It is really tough and basically consists of a boiled egg and a grapefruit for breakfast, fruit for lunch, and lean meat and salad for dinner.

I'm a binge eater and drinker but when I am not gorging, I do watch calories, avoid bread, and always drink black coffee.

People who avoid wholemeal bread are crazy.

Extremely high in carbs but contains proteins, fibres and calcium, it's an easy yes for me. I eat a loaf once every 2-3 days.

Surely you would be better spreading it out over the duration?

People who avoid breads are dopes. Plenty of breads are as nutritious as anything you can eat.
