Gym talk

They can be meals if youre eating 5 times a day

Like add peanut butter to em etc

Fair point!

Obv not having five a day as thats just silly lol

I didn't mean the gimpy diet pills or tea lark lol
i mean like the Thermopypure Mandy mentioned or cla etc.... Or only if beef caking?

Stuart, what's your usual daily intake of food on a regular basis?
Breakfast?
Lunch?
Tea/Dinner?
Bedtime treat?

Whatever these are you need to regulate them and keep strict to yourself, if your wanting to bulk up and lose fat then your diet is a must.

Probably 10x what it should be. I've been good for a week with myfitnessnazi and done ok, just I'm impatient lol

If you controlled with food i praise you. I can't, hence the shakes.

After a long time of slacking the last 3.5 weeks I'm been hitting the gym 6 days a week and sorted my eating out properly. Strength and size have dropped considerably over the last year or so though. I've lost 4.5% body fat the last 3 weeks though was feeling pretty ashamed of myself at 22% fat considering I was 12.8% or so a year ago.

Hopefully keep sticking to it like before and see some good gains again.

CLA is rubbish, I used it for a while and the only thing it did for me was made my stomach hurt a bit and I'd need a pooh soon after, which after a couple of days went very dark and dense. Again, in my own opinion, I'd just steer clear of fat burning tablets as they're not a permanent problem solver just a quick fix but when people lose weight by cutting calories by massive amounts (like the 5/2 diet) or by using tablets you tend to find a lot of these people put the weight back on, you have to sort the mindset out and build a routine of making healthy meals.

I'm not that disciplined lol currently ran out of protein powder too, it goes great with porridge, pour your porridge and protein powder in a bowl (chocolate mint from myprotein tastes awesome with porridge) then boil a kettle and mix the boiling water in, obvs leave it to cool for a minute!
