[Closed] iDave Diet Joinee

Not an expert, but I think hot sauce is ok. Check for sugar on the label.
Think you're right about the other stuff being out.
Lunches can be hard, I find myself eating loads of peas and beans.

this might help with lunch, thanks to miketually

Hi Dave, eagerly anticipating the plan. Just wondering if your mail is getting blocked.

Hmm, will check those out thanks iDave.

Had some spinach falafels the other day so hoping those are ok being chickpea as they were very tasty. In the snack section in a local Waitrose.

think hot sauce is ok. Check for sugar on the label

Yep 🙁 Or at least my mango & sweet chilli is off, also partly due to the mango puree.

sorry to hijack the thread but was wondering after reading a few recent posts if there is a new revised i-dave plan/food guide. the latest one i have is idavediet_rst from april 2011?

I've had big email issues and am catching up with the work that pays the bills, before doing the freebies

Technology! Didn't realise you did it as a business until i followed your link, would be more than happy to pay or make a donation to charity.

iDave - you'll never get that Bentley if you don't tell them about the new iDiet slimming t-shirt with diet plan printed on the back!

Can someone send me the plan I emailed dave but had no reply. Liam.doc@hotmail.co.uk

I'll get the replies out tomorrow. I'm sure you can wait another day with a spare tyre.

Autoelec - the diet sheet is free, its the other stuff that costs.

Thanks, even so I'll be putting something in the Help for Heroes tin on your behalf.

ilove the idiet......... 8)

How's it going ton?

I've kind of stuck to the iDiet whilst on an iDave training program. I'm lighter and faster now than I have been for a very long time.

Ta Dave.

fantastic mate, lost a stone in the 1st week, and due to get weighed on sunday.
not strayed from the path at all.

How about the cheat day? It's mine today, it's been a struggle to eat anything on the naughty list.

i had roast spuds and apple pie and custard on sunday.
then after 7pm on sunday i did not eat anything untill 6am on tuesday when i had some toast.
i was in hospital so had to fast.

I do follow your threads about your heart condition, really hope it comes good. There's not many people I'd like to ride with of've here, you're one of them. Mainly because I think I could keep up with you. 😀

nice one mate...... 😆

i had roast spuds and apple pie and custard on sunday

Not together I hope otherwise mmmm 🙂

Hope it all works out for you too, followed a few threads previously.

could someone post the link to the rules doc please?

Basically it's about eliminating "simple" carbs from your diet, so cut out the sugar, flour, starch, milk and fruit.
Simple carbs are OK during/after exercise and one day/week anything goes.
It's not "low carb" as you will get plenty of complex (low GI) carbs from beans, root veg, pulses etc.
So think about food replacements - more root veg for spuds, mixed lentils or quinoa for rice, nuts for biscuits, that kind of thing....

..oh and the only form of alcohol is red wine, but if you're looking to get healthy you'll be cutting back on the drink anyway won't you !

thanks, looking forward to giving it a go, god knows I could do with loosing a bit.

Hi Dave, can you email me the plan as well (email in profile). Thanks Nik

Hi Dave, please could I have a copy of your diet too, email in my profile.

Cheers Trevor

Just in case Trevor, I have mailed it over to you.

Just had sheppards pie with carrot and parsnip mash on top. Delicious!

Could someone e-mail the diet to me as well? Ta

Paul

Could someone send me the diet too please? Fighttheburn (at) googlemail . Com
Look forward to seeing it - sounds like a lot of people getting good results.
Has anyone found the initial adjustment overly difficult?

emails going out tonight - sorry for the delay

SoRRy if I'm a little late, I'd like a copy of your idiet too please.

Regards

PePPeR my address is in my profile. thank you

Thanks for the quick response with the latest plan.

Just a quick and probably stupid question (from my nagging wife). Are tomatoes and cucumber ok to eat as they are technically fruit but eaten like vegetables.

Keith.

Interesting stuff here

http://au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/features/article/-/13058226/fitzys-sugar-coating/

like gavetheoldskater asked is this a new/revised plan or the just peeps asking for the original one?

Got the email last night cheers, what about fruits such as tomatoes or avocado?

the general rule is the "custard rule", i.e. if it doesn't go with custard then it's OK. More scientifically, anything that does not produce much of an insulin response is OK. This includes tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, lemons & limes.

Don,t eat fruit.I thought we are primates?

We are primates. We also developed a year round fruit habit, with selectively bred fruit higher in sugar than is natural. In the wild, primates eat fruit when it's in season, not flown in from Kenya in Feb. Fruit in the wild is also much more bitter than the fruit we are told is good for us.

Would you mind shooting the diet sheet over this way?

cheers

people have known for years that sugar is one of the prime causes of weight gain.

Kev

Kev, so why the policy mentions of 'fat tax' but no sugar tax?

I know it, you know it, but most 'people' go on low fat diets, rather than low sugar diets.

Just got mine. Cheers Dave.
Until I get time to work it out I have 2 questions.
Off out for a day in the hills tomorrow. What can I take to eat? Usual sandwiches are out and my fruit choice is normally apples.Nature Valley bars for munching on
I have a shift cycle coming up over the weekend 2x12hr day shifts and 2 night shifts. Usually start hitting a low by 3am which needs sweet stuff to satisfy! What can I substitute?
Should get started next Mon proper 😆

Trekster, i have been thinking about ride food, when out for the day.
gonna use bags of nuts and seeds for trail food.
tub of hummus and some veg sticks for lunch, pot of olives and cherry toms, portion of chicken breast.
there are plenty of stuff.

Ton.

That sounds good and most importantly, its portable using a few Lock-n-Lock tubs.
Buried in the back pack before setting off.

tub of hummus and some veg sticks for lunch

I reckon that those long red peppers make the best vegetable sticks for scooping houmous into yer gullet. They taste nice and sweet as well :-)....

One thing though, on the new PDF that iDave kindly sent out there's a link to a recipe for flaxbread. The ingredients for that recipe include wholemeal flour. What's going on there then? 😕

Oh yeh,and nuts and seeds are in season all year round and contain no sugar.Bullshit.Ton,Brazil nuts are bad for your heart.Avoid.

idave, I only had time to very quickly read the article on the link which you posted, I haven't yet watched the video clips. I'll try to get round to them at lunchtime.

Kev

Oh yeh,and nuts and seeds are in season all year round

Brazil nuts are bad for your heart.Avoid

http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/brazil-nuts.html

Idave said only eat fresh produce in season.Avoid items flown from the other side of the world.NUTS?

While nuts will keep for a while.
Eating nuts within which the oils and fats have become rancid.
Isn't a good idea, imo.

I would also echo the remarks above about moderating your nuts.
Me and I believe a few other iDieter / posters, here, I have noticed that eating too many nuts appears to hamper body weight reduction.
So perhaps bare this in mind.

However, in my case, one must view my experience / opinion with respect to my exercise regime and that I am not, by any stretch of the imagination.
An exercise addict.

Can someone please send me the latest version of the idiet. Cheers

You need to watch sugar content of shop-bought hummus. Some are fine, others dump loads of sugar into it 😡

You can make the stuff fairly easily if you have some time.

[i]You need to watch sugar content of shop-bought hummus. Some are fine, others dump loads of sugar into it[/i]

I know. Its annoying. Companies tipping the sugar in, for profit.

Makes me roll my eyes when I think back to the days when I use to look at the fat content of all my food and disregarded the sugar / carbohydrate numbers.

Still, for me at least.
Better late than never.
😉

"Idave said only eat fresh produce in season"

no i didn't.

[i]"Idave said only eat fresh produce in season"

no i didn't.

😆

Brazil nuts are bad for your heart.Avoid

Apparently they're the only nut you can use to sexually infect someone who has a nut allergy.

I-Dave implied that food flown in from abroad(Kenya)and out of season,is a bad thing.Fact.Check his posts.This Christ like figure you all worship can't even remember the implications of his own posts.I bet non of you eat fresh foods,in season and not flown in from abroad.FACT,Nuts are imported and out of seaon.FACT,Fruit is very good for you and should not be avoided.TON eat fruit and get your vitamin C requirements. Ignore these raft southerners.

[i]Fruit is very good for you and should not be avoided.TON eat fruit and get your vitamin C requirements. Ignore these raft southerners[/i]

😆

monkey, how did you get your name?
Yes, I eat fresh food in season. Chard from the allotment yesterday, for example.
Nuts are imported, yes, but are generally not flown in becasue they keep well. That's why squirrels hoard them over winter, that's why they are still good to eat a year after harvesting.
Fruit is OK in moderation, strains of high-sugar fruit are likely to give the insulin spikes which current thinking suggest are bad for you.
Tell us, monkey, how do Inuit get their Vit C when they don't eat any fruit? It's from animal products.

[i]I'm just going to the vegetable garden to collect some veggies for dinner tonight, darling[/i]

There's a new sheet?

Dave...I'm afraid I'm going to send you an email!

Ah, maybe, but the [i]Truth[/i] is just the same.

So how come innuit are fat whrn they dont eat fruit and sugar?

[i]So how come innuit are fat whrn they dont eat fruit and sugar?[/i]

Ha !.

Who you calling [i]Fat[/i].. Fattist !.
😆

Well, I'll have a guess.

Firstly, historically Inuit weren't [i]fat[/i]
But given their prevailing environment, having a little extra insulation can probably be understood.
Also, weight gain in the Inuit is likely attributed to the introduction of the western diet, into their communities.
I'm thinking.
😉

We get our veg delivered by an organic grower Monkey, you might only eat shit veg but that doesn't mean everyone does. Not every fruit grows in this country or are you growing finger limes yourself.

Ooo, Oooo !.

I've just had a thought.

How does being [i]Western Fat[/i], Kill you ?.

I said that other primates don't have fruit flown in from Kenya (wherever) all year round and that fruit as we are sold it has been cultivated to be sweeter than in the wild or as it was a few hundred years ago. You assumed I was saying to only eat produce that's in season. I'm not saying I disagree, just saying that I said what I said, not what you think I said.

There are societies that eat no fruit, or eat rice etc where obesity is or isn't a problem. A big contributing factor is the level of low level activity on a daily basis or none.

Apparently they are fat by selection not due to western diet.

However its thought that much of their vit c came from partially.digested stomach.contents of caribou.

I'd rather have a satsuma

I have the exec version of the diet, cost me a bit more but much better, best paypal tenner Ive spent!

[/i]

Don't forget also that being round might be a survival strategy as that shape loses less body heat, as apposed to a skinny Ethiopian who needs to be thin when living in a place where the ambient air temp can touch 50 C.

As for Vit C. I've read that they get it from the whale blubber.
the Whale eats the plancton, vit C get tied up int he blubber.
Inuit snack on the blubber.
They cut it into cubes and just pop them in the cake hole.

But as for my [i]Western fat[/i] remark.

Is it being fat alone, which kills you ?....

Whale skin i heard

Personally i think animals are able to survive on many foods, the problem we currently have access to too much of everything

[i]Whale skin i heard

[/i]

Could be the skin, but I thought twas the blubber.
Either way, the Inuit don't have much of a use for these:

Also, pesonally, I wouldn't look to other species, such as big cats.
Their bodies do all sorts of different things from us, such as generate their own Vits, while us monkeys cant and so have to absorp them from food.
AFAIK.

As for access.
for us in the west, its certainly too abundant, readily available and often [i]sexed up[/i] with sugar, if applicable.

At last,Dave admits it,it'd all down to exercise.Also,the Innuit do not survive on the I-Dave diet and they are capable of trading.Don't be racist.

"At last,Dave admits it,it'd all down to exercise.Also,the Innuit do not survive on the I-Dave diet and they are capable of trading.Don't be racist."

No I didn't and no it's not. You're not very good at understanding exactly what is being said are you? Instead of having an opinion and looking for supporting evidence, why not look at the evidence and then form an opinion?

Cheers Ton. I have asthma and therefore an aversion to nuts. Just read the ingredients in the Nature Valley bars I have been using and having a reaction to....contains traces of almonds and hazelnuts! Explains the need for a puff of the inhaler 🙄

Whoa, didn't intend to open a whole can of worms* with this one but hey ho 😀

Anyway, I'm on week 2 now and have lost about 3kgs so far and can see a marked difference in my body shape (read flatter stomach) and feel lighter too. Not so bloated but then I did eat a lot of brown bread, rice and pasta before.

I'm loving the cooked food for brekkie too & it also seems to keep me fuller for longer. Mackrel fillets this morning. Chuffing like a good un on the lentils though 😆

As an aside & to save me pestering idave by e-mail, does anyone have a copy of the new sheet they would care to ping across to my address in my profile? I've been working on a cobbled together version based on forum search history.

*are they compliant?

iDave, any chance getting the up to date version to saleem763@hotmail.com, cheers
