I like the sound of this. You can do a similar thing in the swimming pool for a similar 'afterburn' effect.

If thats your diet then its immaculate, good on you

Cheers Sha, I wasn't sure if it was adequate enough as I have little experience in this area. I just thought i'd keep it simple and use the logic that if it's natural with no added flavorings, sugars or preservatives then it's probably good for you.

Reading this thread has kick started my desire to get rid of my beer belly again

I think about it every day, but I can't afford the gym.

Sprint training?..... Good idea.

Also gunna get a pull up bar.

These are tough to avoid, and something I am beginning to learn at the moment. The amount of rubbish that is in what you may otherwise assume, and are told, is healthy is unreal.

Managed to lose 3lbs so far, target is to lose half a stone.

Don't be so outcome motivated..especially with scales. Glycogen and water can hugely influence that.Waist measurement is far far better imo.

What was you're average diet and caloric intake before?

I wasn't keeping track of my caloric intake beforehand, though I've seen worse diets mine wasn't quite so bad just consisted of;

-Fry-ups Saturday and Sunday
-Meat dishes would usually be coated in some sort of batter, crumbs, coating or sauces
-Cheese tended to feature quite heavily
-2 Sugars in each tea/coffee
-10-12 pints consumed over Friday/Saturday nights
-Veg portions smaller than they could have been
-Hardly any fruit

So not great really.

I'm no qualified nutritionist or PT but I have been doing this for a long time (ex GB athlete) it sounds to me you are abit more carb sensitive or have a lot of carbs? Maybe something you want to focus on.
Really cut down on the pints. No alcohol is good alcohol but atleast switch to a spirit with a diet coke or tonic rather than pints which are just shy of 200cals each.
Its well worth splashing out abit of money on an experienced trainer with a good reputation if you're really serious.
