I tend to carb cycle quite a lot
Generally follow a Paeolithic diet then add some carbs every few days.

Alot of the 14 stone is the fat belly, and fat ass.. I do drink a lot of fizzy drinks like coke etc.

I want to bulk up a little, but have a non-fat, toned stomach. I just don't want to feel like I have to breathe in if someone saw my body, which I do feel like that, cos I hate it at the moment.

I know its easily possible to lose it, but my head keeps tellin me its impossible. I need to get in control, sort out my diet and exercise more..

How does it work exactly, carb cycling? I need to incorporate it. It it just a day of high GI natural carbs, or the addition of them into a normal Paleo day? I don't understand it properly...

Maybe a sideways photo would illustrate why I hate my belly? Shall I post one?

I see all over the net talking about what foods to eat, but I just seem to find it harder cos I don't like most foods that are healthy.

Only reasons I goto the gym is because it hurts my back when I go jogging, to an extent that I literally have to stop (I use cross trainer instead at gym), and cos they have lots of weights so I can do some weight training as well..

And yeah I always notice it quite badly when I go without fizzy drinks for abit..

Edit:

I see your point Jaz, but I think there is a difference between not enjoying a meal, and not being able to swallow it because I heave and throw up everywhere.

I generally don't have a strong gag reflex, but eating the foods I really don't like just make me puke. I wish it didn't, but it does

You are right though, I haven't been really committed, and I probably would try harder with everything if I knew I was going to die. I will take a look at some recepies to make these foods possibly be swallow-able.

Thanks

Look at "juicing" your veg, as a temporary bridging method to get you past the veg mentality. Recipes online I imagine, I have a little book although it's not an issue for me. Might make it easier on the pallet and gut. Probably a mental thing tho. Just a little veg juice smoothie at first in the middle of a meal, then build it up. Not gonna kill you.

On your back, see a physio. You could be heel striking when you jog, land on the middle/front of your foot as nature intended. Youtube for videos of foot strike. But running comes later, build it up slowly.

I'm grateful for all the advice.

I do have a blender, but I have been struggling to find anything on blending veg, although I guess I was using the wrong term.

I will cut out the carbs, and all the shitty fizzy drinks etc,
I will cancel the gym, and spend it on protein.
I will look up some veg blending receipes
I will binge eat once a week.
I will cycle to work, try some road running with better footing and do more press ups.

As for carbs, do I cut them out completely? Or do I just have a little amount?

I have read so much conflicting ideas online about quantities of protein, carb etc that I am just lost in it all.

When I lose the fat, I will have a before and after pic, which will really keep me motivated to keep fit.

There is an interesting parallel with reading too much PUA material and not taking action here. All you can do is take action and try out different ways. Obviously you need to stick with one method over a sustained period to see actual results.

Book: 200 juices & smoothies, by Hamlyn £4.99, prioritise veg go easy on the fruit
Protein/carbs ratio: each plate, half animal half plants, not a bad basic structure for now. Differing opinions but play with what makes you feel good. Carbs: if it's not going to go off in a few days, you can't eat it. Supermarket becomes an amusing place, aisles and aisles of stuff that's no good!
Fat: don't be afraid of a little butter or the fat on your meat, clean natural fat doesn't make you fat.

I will take a look at that book..

I will also look at some lo-carb diets, and see what things people are eating..

low carb, low fat, high protein, lots of exercise.. Thanks!
