[Closed] iDave diet, who done it?

Lol.. twitter is ideal for the compulsive among us such as Yeti 🙂

This was me before I let everything go south:
(at the back...well, actually the front, well, no, ah heck...rowing's funny like that)

new follower but i couldnt reply to your message cos you're not following me in return. this makes me upset right to the core of my penis.

I'm not compulsive... I'm calculated.

On your shizzle, it says I have to [i]request[/i] to follow you, which I did 🙂

I see that none of you follow my twitterings - that's the thanks you get....

whats your twitter thingy then mr dave?

(only started using twitter again today as a way of stalking DD)

Hm, tempted now, but I don't think I have anything to tweet about.

whats your twitter thingy then mr dave?

Searched under "iDave"

I'd be worried if any of the results actually [i]were[/i] iDave 😯

Is DD really on twitter?

Is Twitter something I should probably avoid?

Pinto beans can be used to make a wicked 'refried beans'. Had them last night as a meal on their own because they didn't need any other meat accompaniment.

Just get a packet of dried pinto beans, soak overnight, then boil/simmer until soft. Decide how many to use vs store.

- reheat (low to medium heat) in a pan
- add chopped onion and garlic
- add smoked paprika
- add butter (if you wish)
- heat through and mash up - add a little creme fraiche/stock if you want a different texture
- meanwhile, grill some smoked bacon
- chop bacon and add to mashed beans
- season

Voila. Refried beans with a smokey hint. Far far better than that crap you get in supermarkets etc.

EDIT: add some chilli if you want.

Either way, perfectly nom nom as a main by itself, or an accompaniment to any mexican-oriented dish.

Is DD really on twitter?

Yep. Guess my username...go on, bet you can't 8)

*daren't look for iDave*

Bananas are beans, so they're in.

Struggling with a sweet tooth

MTFU, or go riding just so you can have some carbs.. it's a great motivator 🙂

I'm struggling with a sweet 19 year old boy at the moment - he's quite the little colt.

You're really not going to stop are you.

Thankfully the one thing we've all learned is that nothing you're posting is useful in a constructive way.
We're all bored with it/you now.
🙂

Speak for yourself Solo.

Anyway I had this the other night...

TSY.

Ahem, I was suggesting that you and Mr d get the room.

Phil... No change for you there then 😉

Who is going to start posting pictures of buildings and discussing architecture.

EDIT: Hand would have been accepted, if both parties could cease fire.... Theres only so much simple, yet slightly Mischievous, sarcasim a person can appreciate.

Who is going to start posting pictures of building and discussing architecture.

Elfin's Tuesday thread was yesterday. Who else just followed me on Tweety?

[/i]

Cool 😉

However, why wait. Be original, start your own ibeefcake diet here.
Then you'll attract some cyber winnits to your thread.
Can you guess who I might mean....

If I knew for a second what a "winnit" is, I could guess.

Oh...

Darcy I demand my iDave subscription fee back.

I paid it because someone told me fat people are fun. This is clearly not the case today!

Still awaiting a liberal spread of winnit free lol cats...
😉

(EDITED BACK IN FOR YETI - *puffs out cheeks*)

what is a winnit and why are you awaiting lolcats?

Phil - 😆

deadly, can we start a pubscription service?

deadly, can we start a pubscription service?

God, everybody here is just trying to be funny today. Can't we all just start taking things a little more seriously.

🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

In answer, yes, good plan 8)

So. There is no point at which a joke becomes, well, boring.
It can be posted, again and again. Yeah ?.

Ok, if thats the price of discussion here. Let the one funny joke of the universe, be repeated.

Some more.

[i]I say, I say, I say. iDave, Whats the ruling on yoghurt ?.[/i]

Woooooo, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaaa.

Oh, my sides.

🙄

Solo... you don't need to go through this alone... let me be your wingman.

Edit... people on an iDave thread chatting about their sides splitting.. that actually is funny!

JUST BLOODY LEAVE IT!

Anyway..

*looks up rstsport on twitter*

Cool.. racing chatter.. like it 🙂

Catching up on 4 pages of this has helped me to my best puncture repair ever 😀

Cheers Phil, an excellent choice.

Hi,

I need some quick advice. Nuts... are they in or out?

Ta.

In.

But go easy on them, they are hugely calorie dense.

I plateaued for a while then realised I was eating loads - cut down, and continued losing.

Cool.

Some recruitment firm is trying to bribe us with some Krispy Cream doughnuts.

*makes a strong black coffee*

Do you know your body fat percentage, Yetster?

Nope... don't know where to get it measured 🙁

pretty lean though now

I bet you don't lose any more weight on this.

Ha... I'm doing my own amended version anyway... I've had sandwiches, milk and donuts for lunch, fruit and nuts for snacks, muesli and fruit for breakfast.

Infact I've not had a single meal that conforms to the plan yet 🙁 I did make an iDave stew but the recipe said serve with crusty bread. So I did.

So you're not doing it at all then?

As you were 🙂

[i]I bet you don't lose any more weight on this[/i]

Good point. Eventually, one has to reach a point where no more weight is lost, while maintaining a low GI diet ?.

Sort of. I drink red wine at night.

Have replaced some of my bread and pasta with lentils etc.

According to our lord and master, this diet will get you down to 10-12% body fat.

Yeti - I think if you are doing to do half measures the best thing to do is have iDave breakfasts.

[i]According to our lord and master, this diet will get you down to 10-12% body fat[/i]

😯

Errr, praise be, maybe. Like TSY, I've no idea what by [i]body fat[/i] % is.

Ahh... I might be there already.

Thing is... with the times that I exercise I though I might be ok with my current eating.

[i]Thing is... with the times that I exercise I though I might be ok with my current eating[/i]

I wonder, do you think you will execise as much when you are 60 years old, as you do currently.
(genuine curiousity)
😉

Solo... this is a very good question.

I have been pondering the same. I think there will inevitably be a spell where I have to cut back because of other comittments, but by the time I'm 60 they'll hopefully be behind me, I might even be retired, in which case I'll be exercising to my hearts content.

Alternatively I'll find something new to be addicted to...

I do this thing [post edited. Mod] and after ten minutes I can give you a fairly accurate estimation of bodyfat %age. Yeti, when should I book you in?

deadly... following this diet (or not) is making me pretty hungry...

I just had coleslaw at lunch. I have a feeling that's not in. Looking forward to banana beans later.

❓

Mmmm...tzatziki and banana bean stew served with lentil flour flatbreads...my favourite.

TSY.

Well, its not so much a specific age, my curiousity is more to do with when people get older versus their very well established eating habits, carried forward from when they were much younger / active.

My thinking is that as people age, they may not be able to exercise to an intensity that will allow them to [i]burn off[/i] the lard they would otherwise store, were they to stick to a more everyday, carby diet from their youth.

So, carrying on from that, I'm thinking, if I develop alternative eating habits [b]now[/b] and take them with me into older life, I hope to be sufficiently equiped on a dietary basis, to be able to avoid later life spread. Maybe ?.

I think that the meals I have come to like, the ones I have discovered here, dsicussing the iDave diet, and on my own, will stay with me and so hopefully assist with keeping my weight under control for the rest of my life. Not forgetting the importance of exercise too. 😉

I also note that I enjoy exercise more when I'm a lighter weight.

I just had coleslaw at lunch. I have a feeling that's not in

I would say it is. Mayonnaise = eggs and oil, no? Both of which are in. And the rest of it is just veg?

[i]Alternatively I'll find something new to be addicted to...[/i]

Another interesting point. I heard the head of WW being interviewed in R4 about a year ago.

He spoke of research in the US that had discovered the same "[i]reward[/i]" receptors in the brain were stimulated when the subject consumed "junk food" as when a person uses drugs.

Their brains rewarded them for eating pizza, burgers, whatever.

Hence why som find it so difficult to change, they are [i]addicted[/i] to the, errr, bad stuff ?.

[i]I would say it is. Mayonnaise = eggs and oil, no? Both of which are in. And the rest of it is just veg?
[/i]

I'd be looking at the GI rating for Mayo myself, were I not convinced on the basis of no evidence at all, that mayonaise is an A class artery clogger.

I use to like it, but there is life after Mayo and Salad cream.
