Scotty,
Congrats on your quest to get healthier. One thing I have learnt is that most doctors and nutritionists are WAY behind the latest research. I won't bang on about the long term effectiveness of dieting, so much info makes things confusing, but PLEASE watch last weeks Catalyst about sugar and insulin at www.abc.net.au/catalyst/episodes/

Good luck!!
Rick

That was a tripper episode. Regulate sugar the same as cigs and booze. The tests were quite scary

Rick,
I clicked on the link and watched the clip (yes, all 18 minutes).
My attention span is good for videos.
I found it very interesting.
We have been conned for too long by food packaging about 99%fat free,etc.
As much as fat is a killer for putting on the kg's, sugar is the silent killer.
The video mentioned the low fat Mayonaise had 6 times more sugar then normal (low fat = higher sugar).
I will watch it again tomorrow to understand more about how sugar affects insulin levels and the body's metabolism.
Worth watching guys if you have a spare 18 mins.

Too many word Scotty. What did you say?in two lines or less would be good thanks

Thanks for the link - very interesting and just a little disturbing at the same time!

Just had my 6th 666 in 8 days.
Enjoying my time back on the dark side.

So Scotty,what are you weighing in at now you fat tnuc. Me I have put on another 2kg, still not smoking though.
Chrispy starts his...........tomorrow lol

Weighed this arvo at 140 kg.
So I have lost 4kg which is not as much as I would have liked at this stage from when I started.
This week has been my most active and will continue the exercise.
Eating better as well.
Probably 17 or 18 weeks til Xmas.

Thanks Ted.
Although it's been a slow start, I am ready to ramp up the exercise.
The past 8 days of 666 have got me hooked again.
After Ricko's post about sugar, I have cut sugar out.
That is good viewing.
Hell, I might even grab the LB for a paddle.

Well done on the 4kg mate, keep it up mate & enjoy yourself along the way.

Nice find Pup.
She's something isn't she.

Hey Scotty... you've seen this Paleo/Primal thread before I know -- but it works.
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Stand-Up-Paddle/SUP/How-Primal-changed-my-SUP-life/
There's a shipload of info - sometimes too much - cos it's pretty simple. i basically stopped grains, dairy and spuds. Now it's lots of fruit, lots of salads, lots of meat if you want. I have a red wine if i want one (or 3). And all the good experts say lash out and treat yourself now and then with whatever. It's a change of habit/lifestyle rather than a set-period diet.
You might post a crazy number today that means you don't need the paleo/primal thing - but if not, if it looks like you are trapped on a crazy merry-go-round... make the (slight) effort to get your head around it... and your shopping/meal preparation.... and you will be posting pix like the ones Supthecreek shared in that thread...
like i said... IT WORKS.

You tell them Chrispy,no pain no gain Lazy non exercising lot

Glad I got yas fired up. I agree with the people who disagree with me ... some of the Paleo/Primal stuff (too much bacon, egss etc) IS clearly crazy.
I'm vouching for the cutting right back on dairy and grain (especially bread) side of it cos that works for me. I was only a bit over 89kg and not a midget - i just want to shift 6 to 8 kg and keep it off... I reckon there are really sound principles in the paleo basics and then each person needs to use their brains and customise it from there. It's like a good Burford Blank - use it wisely. I like it for people who are waaay overweight because it's not something you do and then stop and then end up going round the cycle again.
I'm on fruit, salads, lean meat, fish. And have only cut out most dairy and grains - nothing dangerous there. I make sure Iget my calcium needs etc..
And of course ya gotta excercise too. So yeah - disagree away boys but if Scotty goes Paleo he WILL reach his target and he (probably) WON'T die on the way.
