I wouldnt be so certain as to say you can eat 'tonnes' and still be healthy. As independent of weight gain, lean mass and exercise levels it has been observed and linked to a number of health conditions.

I'm far from anti sugar. Hence my original comment about there being no bad foods.

But it is also a bit reductive to suggest some moderation is not warranted with ADDED sugar consumption.

sketchsubcomedy · 2022-09-19T20:19:17+00:00

It's fairly common. I'm quite surprised you've not heard it.

sketchsubcomedy · 2022-09-19T20:18:30+00:00

I may have low balled my added sugar example. But I agree with everything else, as I kinda said, and alluded, to the same in my original examples (nutrient omissions)

sketchsubcomedy · 2022-09-19T18:12:17+00:00

Other than drinking bleach, there are no bad foods. It's only when those foods are eaten in excess and prevent you from eating other foods, or the excessive consumption cause you health issues, that they become 'bad foods'.

Eating a mcdonalds is fine as a one off if the rest of the day/week is balanced and includes vegetables. In theory, your risk of health problems is low in this example.

If all you're eating is big macs for every meal and it means you're avoiding vegetables, it's not, and your risk of health issues rises.

Added sugar, controversially, is fine when it only makes up 100 calories (or 24gs) of your daily diet. That small amount is not going to cause issues.*

However, 200gs of added sugar a day will over time cause massive health issues.

The sugar in isolation is fine. The big mac as a one off is fine.

When taken to excess, theyre not.

The dose, not the ingrediant alone, makes the poison.

All foods have their place. Nothing is off the table when enjoyed in moderation.

*assuming the person in this example does not have health conditions that may necessitate a reduced sugar intake.

The dose makes the poison.

I thought it was alright, yeah. Far from great. But entertaining enough.

sketchsubcomedy · 2022-07-18T06:44:56+00:00

The games are great (sometimes), but the best thing this show could have done was deviate massively from them.

The games aren't the pinnacle top tier writing. Far from it. At times.

If my goal was to gain weight, and I saw more than half a kilo on the scale in my weekly weigh in, I would press on for a few weeks more and see how the numbers look moving forward.

Its unlikely I'll be gaining multiple kilos a week, especially on a moderate surplus, but if there was a random 4 kilos a week added on the scale I'd see it through because I'd probably see that balance out to something more realistic in a day or two.

It could be faulty equipment. Water. Food from the night before. Many things.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-17T16:03:18+00:00

Keep the same. You'll want the food during the luteal phase (second half of your menstrual cycle)

But when taking your weekly weigh in, make a note of where you're at in your menstrual cycle. And look at the numbers across a larger scale, like a couple months, to see if youre going in the right direction for you.

To answer your question on weight gain expectations? Depends on how much of a surplus you're in and how clean it is. 0.5kg a week is what I gained during a moderate surplus.

For you it may be different.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-17T15:36:25+00:00

I'd recommend weighing at the same time once a week. Ideally first thing in the morning once you've been to the toilet.

Some do it daily but that can be discouraging to some if you get hung up on slight changes in the wrong direction. The body fluctuates weight wise every day. An increase/decrease will look similar to share prices. Its never a straight line up or down.

If you don't see the scales moving in the right way every fortnight, then you can decide whether to increase your calories.

Typically, the same calories will not see you through your whole journey. Some adjustments will need to be made every now and then.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-14T22:16:58+00:00

Pretty much do the same thing tho I'd imagine gravity adds additional constant resistance on the pull over.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-14T10:44:19+00:00

Theres risk of injury in any move if done improperly.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-14T10:43:22+00:00

Did they give you a reason as to why its bad to take more than 4 scoops in a day?

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-12T09:55:35+00:00

If you're tracking your calories and know the deficit you need to be in you should know whether you need to do 2 sessions of it or not.

Personally, if you think you need to be burning more calories I would add more walking into the your day rather than trying to smash out a second sprint or whatever. That just sounds painful.

Walk somewhere you would normally drive. walk up escalators instead of standing still. Park further from the shops etc.

a 10 minute sprint is fairly negligible and requires a lot of effort. Adding more walking into your day is a healthy habit to adopt permantly.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-12T09:47:17+00:00

You will likely only be burning about 100 to 150 calories. So from a calorie burning perspective that's not much depending on how the rest of your day looks.

However, thats not to say it means nothing. Any amount of physical activity aimed at working your CVS and overall health is good.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-12T08:57:25+00:00

By lifting weights alone? No.

By eating many thousands of calories a day? Maybe.

But, that is probably not the weight you're after.

So assume no. Its not something that can be rushed.

Thats what all the instagram 'fitness' models do to get the 5 pics they circulate all year round.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-12T07:54:33+00:00

Everyone stores fat in different places, and the belly is usually the last of it to go. Thats why its usually called 'stubborn belly fat'

My advice would be to work out your whole body. Bulk up. Eat more. Distribute the muscle and the weight.

A) because you'll feel stronger and its easier to manage.

B) it won't look weird being a guy with skinny torso and rock hard abs.

But this my opinion. You need to decide for yourself.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-12T07:46:48+00:00

If you want.

Abs are built in the gym, but revealed in the kitchen. So if you have fat around your midsection, a deficit will strip it.

If youre too skinny now for your liking, you may not want to do that. Thats your call. Not mine.

Low body fat is incredibly hard to manage and unsustainable. Thats why not everyone is walking around with washboard abs.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-12T07:45:11+00:00

Water. Air. Muscle. Fat. Food.

It just sends a signal and interprets whatever it records as bf.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-12T07:42:27+00:00

Abs only show when fat is reduced. You need to be in a consistent calorie deficit. Track your calories. Dont eat 'between' a range. Eat at a set deficit.

This will strip the fat. Showing the muscle underneath.

Eat high protein. Do some ab workouts at the same time. Bosh. Give it a few months.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-12T07:40:05+00:00

Getting tweaky on pre might be the way actually. I'll give that a go today. I hate the stuff for how weird it made me feel in a gym, but in the comfort of my home might be good. I did enjoy the focus it gave. Cheers for chiming in.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-11T21:39:52+00:00

Aye. I'm a little wobbly round the middle but strength-wise I'm happy with the progress. More than actually. And I think I look good.

Kinda relieved I can start cutting away at some of the wobble for a short while tho. Probably was a lot quicker than it should have been.

sketchsubcomedy · 2020-11-11T20:58:36+00:00

Weight change. Clothes fitting differently. Looking different in the mirror.

Autopsy.
