I would say that you need to lose the refined carbs/sugar to see a further drop in body fat percentage, virtually Pegan style diet of meat and salad/veg with nuts (not peanuts) and a protein shake (in a blender) like Purition (not a smooth taste though)

I’m gonna make it my mission this weekend to make some changes, just in time for the weekly shop so I can get my orders in with the wife..
I haven’t heard of Pegan, that’s my starting point, thank you

Yes come winter time there will be some serious bargains to be had. Selling bikes is now very tough due to the volumes up for grabs so they are dirt cheap but equally there are some duffers out there

Ordered the black
I take it is one meal alongside others?
It’s a meal replacement so you could choose to have 3-4 shakes a day if you want.
I first got Huel in 2017, when it was relatively new to the market and I haven’t gone back since my original purchase. Personally, I prefer whey protein shakes.
Recommendations:
- blend your shakes for the smoothest results. The mix came out clunky when shaked in the cup
- add fruit for extra flavour + sweetness
- milk works well if you want a creamier flavour and to feel fuller after you drink it
- honey is a nice natural sweetener / or even dark chocolate
- depending on flavour, you can add things like PB and even stock cubes for a ‘curry’ type shake. There’s all sorts of recipes on the internet
It’s noting that, a lot of the vitamins and minerals in the shake are ‘artificial’ - I don’t know what that means exactly.
Dead handy if you’re constantly on the go and don’t like cooking!
Enjoy!
I’m a group exercise instructor in my spare time so just wanted to add, for Kieran and for anyone else who might be nervous about going to a gym, that group exercise is also a good alternative. Held in a studio away from the gym floor. Speaking for myself, I’m certainly nothing to look at (I know some can be intimidated by the ‘perfect’ looking gym instructor) but my main aim is that for the hour or so that I teach each class, every person in that studio enjoys it. I love every single person that comes through the door to the studio because they have invested their time and trust in me (and the programs I teach) to get them one step further on their fitness journey, but the ones who give me the biggest smile are those who come and give it a try for the first time. It’s also a great way to meet new people, make new friends, so it can also help people’s mental health. I know earlier Kieran said he was around the Willenhall area; there are some great instructors at Alan Higgs, and obviously if you join there then you can also possibly use The Wave in the city centre. Best wishes to all

There goes. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next month or so.

Yesterday was the first time I didn’t cycle since March 27th! Had way too much work and then legs are a little painful so decided against it and rested up. As much as training is good for you and helps condition your fitness, rest is a,so a major benefit rather than slogging on

It was decent, I do a bit of running so I'm not completely unfit but don't use any other muscles, so can feel it now. The old one I went to was in a hilly park which incorporated hill runs which I like, this one is flat so is more like circuits at the minute but staying in your own bit. Weather grim up here though, it pissed down all the way through.
@LastGarrison yeah, I find I'm boozing at home a lot more. Keep ordering different brewery beers. Haven't been in a pub yet mind!

Im on low carb but hopefully in keto now, feel much more alert and awake. The exercise part is just long walks and pressups at the minute until I can sort something properly.
Really not craving snacks at all now and the bulletproof coffee does a job in the morning.

I used to joke that I’d do an entire weeks shit on my cheat day.
Also drink fuck tons of water on a low carb diet, not for the shit though it helps, but a few years back I ended up in hospital with kidney stones and the doc blamed me doing Keto and not drinking enough.

Full on in Ketosis now, trying to at least walk 4 miles a few nights a week. Can't face jogging just yet as I think my knees might snap

Down 10kg from when I started end of May. Missed my workout Wednesday for the first time cos I was knackered and depressed. Need to make sure I’m back on it tonight.
Still can’t bring myself to run. Keep going to bed late and waking up late. Tried to go early last night and still lay there for two hours.

More like 7 and just under 10 (9.5 I think) but thanks! I’ve always been able to drop quickly.Problem is I put it back on even quicker.
I’ve been low carb, which always works for me, but this time being way more chilled on my cheat day and skipping breakfast so sort of IF, also only have a small meal the day after cheat day cos I’m not hungry. It really seems to have done the trick. Then just StrongLifts 5x5 three days a week for exercise.
I’ve found I barely need to eat working from home and there’s been no temptations of Maccys which helps.
Ive been kinda running an experiment to see how little I can eat as my problem is emotional and boredom eating. May have overdone it at points (nearly fainted once), but it’s shown me how much I eat because I want it rather than need it.

Beers and BBqs are my problem during the summer, and what with gyms being closed for months, it's been an issue for me.
I've gotten really lazy. If I'm paying for the gym I'm inclined to use it, because I'm tight and don't want to waste the money I'm spending on it haha.
I haven't put on much weight, but I think I've lost muscle and put on fat. My waist has expanded and I feel generally fatter.
Really need to motivate myself. I know it'll benefit me mentally as well as physically, its just getting started.
