[Closed] Idieters - Talk to me

dear god no.....

sorry dave 🙂 - don't want to get into a debate on the rights and wrongs of the diet and that - seen it all before.
Seems pretty sound advice to me - just trying to ponder if it would make much of a difference to me.
Genuinely interested in a spectrum of experiences to help out

😆

You've read dozens of posts and still need to start a new thread? 🙄

Are pants in the iDiet?

the recent ones I have read seem to have descended into training regime talk and guff on full training programmes - which is of no interest to me.
Been a week or so since I read the ones I found genuinely interesting but not many varied voices talking about it...

Can Oirish folk eat non-tatty food ?

whats the idiet?

Who's iDave?

"I'm Irish - therefore potatoes are obviously a staple!"

Decide that they're not, then they're not. To be sure.

Have a nice thread.

two options

a) try it and see

b) don't

Nobody will be able to tell you what it will do for you.

Does Coal count as fat, protien or carbs?

Are you fat? If yes then it works, simple as that.

Do you just want to eat more healthily? This is a good place to start looking: [url= http://www.marksdailyapple.com ]http://www.marksdailyapple.com[/url]

either way, you're gonna have to lose the spuds 😆

[i]dear god no.....[/i]
😆

Lifes' a bitch.
Then you try to help....

LMFAO.

Sorry Dave.
I like you and all.
But **** me if this hasn't come back to bite you in the ass big time.

[i]Are pants in the iDiet? [/i]
For you ?... YES !.

I like Capt Jon's style.
He is correct !.

If posts about it annoy you so much - why read them? That baffles me to be sure.

I'm not asking for any justification of Mr Dave's diet - think it's a great gesture to provide it to people on here and offer suggestions to help people - it's how people have found it that interests me.

zilo - cheers for linky - will read

This !. Simple as.

If you want an iDave diet sheet.
I now possess the updated version, so mail me and I'll send you a copy.

Happy to help.
But there has been a huge amount of chat on the subject already.
Years of it.
😀

Can I suggest the All new and exciting Meehaja diet. Basically, you eat a bit less, do a bit more and try not to eat too much crap. If you do eat crap, you have to work out its calorific value and go for a run long enough to burn the calories off.

After 3 weeks you'll have lost some weight or died.

Idiet is good if you can stick to it, I wasn't commited enough so now I'm going longer term and just reducing carbs, thinking a lot more about what I eat/drink.

[i]Idiet is good if you [s]can stick to it[/s][/i] have a spine.
T, FTFY

HTH
😀

Why are we talking about this when we're not being paid by someone?

Anyway...

In the main I eat iMeals, maybe I train too much to stick wholeheartedly to all the rules. This week I'm experimenting with blended oat smoothies post certain training sessions. I'll let you know if I maintain or lose weight.

Is this the only measure ?.

It makes you thirsty .
iDont know any more than that.

[i]It makes [s]you[/s] [b]me[/b] thirsty cos I don't drink enough water.

solo - ygm

Is this the only measure ?.

I suppose the main measure will be if it has any impact on recovery.

Tonight I had a cup of oats, blended with milk, a banana, a dessert spoon of honey, another of peanut butter and a cheeky scoop of protein powder.

Roasted mediterranean veg and chicken thighs for my proper meal.

Oh Shit !.

I haven't checked that for months.....

Today I have mostly eaten bread and beer and I feel friking great.

[b]WTF ??????[/b]

How, in all that's carbon based life in the universe....

Did you arrive at that particular colllection of things to shove into your face ?...

Are you playing the food version of Russian roulette ?.

I think solo and yeti and molly need to stay away from idiet threads 😉

Yeah ?...

[i]I think solo and yeti and molly need to stay away from idiet threads[/i]

And you could try coming back to them when your age exceeds your shoe size.
😉

Opened the cupboard and started chucking the stuff I found in the blender.

All of it has nutritional benefits, I think.

Edit - shurrup emsz.

Solo - Member

Yeah ?...

Er, yeah. I think it helps with my recovery too. Did 90k yesterday followed by a few pints and some pizza. Feel fresh as a daisy today.

Ah !.

Yeti. You know ?, against all better judgement....

I like you.

Occasionally.

Anyway. Food blenders...

I have purchased a magimix, thingy.
The most expensive I could find in John Lewis.
I plan go unpack it soon and start making things posted on MDA.
Of course, failing that.
I shall, perhaps, be tempted to play blender roulette, in the kitchen.

How hard can it be ?.....

Obsessed

Just saying... 😀

just eaten ton's beans. scrummy 😯

In response to the OP I'm just into week three and although it's been a struggle (85-90% of what I would normally eat is banned) what with no bread, tatties, cheese, biscuits, etc.) however I have lost a stone and still managed to go for a couple of 4 hour mountain bike rides, walk 80-90 miles and climb progressively harder each week (it's amazing how much easier half a stone makes at a time!).

So far it's a resounding success, but then seen as I'm a biffer, I'm the target market as it were. If you aren't a biffer then it might not be of the same benefit. Not sure what you are supposed to once you've dropped to a sensible weight. I've at least a month to find out though!

[i]Obsessed

Nah.

Not us....

I now view iDave diet threads as light.....relief.
Like a party.

Can you picture a party, in your mind's eye.
Here, let me help you visualize an STW iDave diet celebration party.

"Here, let me help you visualize an STW iDave diet party"

I could think of nothing worse

[url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/the-im-dave-diet ]*Wonders if there indeed is another way.*[/url]

[i]So far it's a resounding success[/i]

I'm very pleased for you.

Keep up the good work.
You're expecting to get to 12-15 percent Body Fat following the iDave Diet, as I know it.

I love all you iDieters who apply some thought and get the results.
It is effective, but one needs to apply one's self.

And don't forget. This is a change for life, not just for iDavemas.

[i]I could think of nothing worse[/i]

What ?, not even being reported for amateur fly tipping...
(see monksie's thread)

Given enough red wine.
You'd cope, for 5 mins.

cup of oats, blended with milk, a banana, a dessert spoon of honey, another of peanut butter and a cheeky scoop of protein powder.

MR yeti.... Jo (as in the guy you stil need to post the rear QR kit to so he can build up ze full suss 😛 ) has one of those every day. just without the honey and more fruit i think.

ilove the idiet...... 8)

Phil - apologise to Jo for me. I completely forgot to look for it last night after the excitement of another iDiet thread. Jo's skinny though so there must be something to oatshakes.

Ton - Is it back to working again for you?

lol no problems dude, he can't even remember what bits from the headset were missing despite being sober that night!

he is skinny, lost about 3 stone over past 6 months without trying. one of those blends everyday mid afternoon, uses them as a pre-ride meal too.

Where was he hiding the 3 stone 6 months ago??

yeti, dont know yet, will get weighed on sunday.
but i feel fantastic, i need a new belt cos my old one is too big and people are comnenting that i look well.
so all in all it is a big fat win...... 8)

maybe 8 months then..... times been going faster than normal recently. his arms are tiny now, was at his last night and i'm not sure if he realises how much weight/muscle he's lost 😕

i must get mrsconsequence to re-introduce him to pizzas

There's plenty of posts out there already about people's experience on it. As others have said, if it interests you then try it and see (although it you're already 60kg and 6' tall then it's probably not going to produce visual results any time soon.

If you're going to do it though then at least actually do it as documented, 50% of people 'on it' seem to make their only little adaptations which at that point kind of then stops being the iDave diet.

For me it's a bit of a step too far in terms of lifestyle change (mostly because I'm lazy and lack self-discipline) so end up falling off the wagon pretty often. I also think my appetite seems to adjust the wrong way (e.g. 3 eggs for breakfast was fine for a week or two until lunch time but now I get hungry by about 10am). I also need milk in my tea :p

so all in all it is a big [s]fat[/s]slim win......

or

so all in all it is a big fat [s]win[/s] loss......

Well done Ton! Actual weight means F'All if your trousers are starting to fall down.

Ton.
Way to go.
😀

The idiet works.

I used to eat all the same food groups as you do. You won't miss them.

I used it as an excuse to learn to cook meals (curry for one) from the raw ingredients. Playing with the spices, this has kept me interested in it.

I lost over 2 stone in a year and I now don't do it as strict as I used to. I now have Friday night off (take away curry night)as well as Saturday (sandwhich for lunch, pasta for tea), and a cheeky Roast Spud with my Sunday tea. I'm maintaining my weight and if it does increase, due to Christmas excess, I just go strict again.

Lemon in tea has turned out to be surprisingly pleasant

At least this gives the iStalkers something to laugh about...

Any chance of setting up a new forum for any new threads on this topic?

Quick question for you idieters...
What happens when you get to your target weight ...how do you stop loosing weight ...is it a natural thing or do you kind of taper off and introduce some other foods or eat more .....
It's just that I've lost 2 stone since Xmas and looking a bit thin .."...

weight tends to stabilise. do some resistance training to buff up if you're worried.

Cool ..thanks for the quick reply

Solo - YGM for latest diet sheet.

idave. Any chance of some personal diet recommendations soon;-)

"Lemon in tea has turned out to be surprisingly pleasant"

On the subject of hot drinks - what does the iDave diet have to say about soy milk? I get depressed and angry without drinking several lattes every day.

Soy milks full of sugar as I recall. I am pretty sure it is off limits.

Try an Americano instead, they're almost as good (espresso with hot water BTW)
