22.01.2022 #intermittentfasting journey so far (37 weeks) has it been worth it? It was never about abs!! that said it would have been interesting to have some BEFORE shots from when I was up to 98K's Reason for the pics is to show a visual portrait of what happens over time. The first shot was when I thought I'd reached my absolute lowest weight, the weight I was at 19.... In retrospect, there's at least 8 k's of FAT still lingering around the midsection, and that's the WORST place to be carrying weight. I'm doing very little ab work, for me moderate but consistent exercise is 90% for mental health. Moderate is literally 30 minutes in the gym three times per week, although admittedly I don't mess about, checking social media and music it's head down for 30 minutes and pretty full on. I aim for around 20-25K's of walking a week, again hardly hardcore. 4 days a week I'll do a max set of push-ups, pretty good quality currently the number is 140. And finally 1 day a week step work - 30 minutes. That's it - very doable without injury or obsession. The key for me and for you, if it takes your fancy, is reducing insulin. I have an average no food gap of 17 hours between conclusion of evening meal and commencement brunch next day. no hunger or calorie focus. Brunch for me is: 1 slice of sourdough toast, two butters, 2 poached eggs, mushrooms, avocado and bacon. Hardly bread and water!! I have a cheat 'treat' daily either afternoon ice cream or fruit scone. I will, however, avoid pasta, pizza, gluten, cake, chocolate, biscuits etc and keep my carbs like chips, potato in check. Fatty meat and fish, however, are regular menu items, plus butter, olive, coconut and MCT oils plus green salads, eggs, avocado etc A wine every night and a corona once or twice a week also in my repertoire - again hardly hardcore. I do take some supplements. Magnesium, DHA omega, Curcumin (turmeric) collagen and probiotics. My goal is to avoid pharmaceuticals, such as headache pills, sleeping tablets, antibiotics, statins, and the sort of stuff many are taking for granted.

21.01.2022 Is obesity really the new normal? Latest top 10 list (world health organisation) Doesn't include the populations of many small Pacific islands. Adult Obesity %... America 38.2% Mexico 32.4% New Zealand 30.7% Hungry 30% United Kingdom 26.9% Australia 27.9% Canada 25% Chile 25.1% Finland 24.8% Germany 23.6% Average the rest of the world? Under 10% Clearly dietary recommendations in the Western World are wrong. Overweight feels normal, obese feels like what used to be considered overweight. I abhor stigma. No one chooses to be obese or labelled or shamed. Far more healthy is to be aware and informed of better choices or indeed consequences of risky habits. Below are some numbers that define healthier goals. These are for males I can update for females. Overweight/Obese (above these weights) Height 1.86 (6 foot 1) Weight 87K/104K 1.83 (6 foot) Weight 84K/101K 1.80 (5 foot 9) Weight 81K/98K 1.70 (5 foot 6) Weight 73K/88K The reason for quantifying overweight and obese is that we have a tendency to measure ourselves against the average of those around us. For 20 years I was between 92-98 K's and never in a million years did I consider myself overweight or at my peak 6 k's off obesity. Not until I dropped to 75K's can I be more honest with myself - I was carrying an excess of 20K's FAT for 20 years. If 1:3 adults in the top 10 list are over 30Ks overweight and virtually all this subset have triple the risk of stroke or heart attack within 15 years it's worth some sober focus.

20.01.2022 Fats v Carbs? Apparently, there's some debate Remember when we were made to feel guilty about eating butter instead of margarine (poison) skim milk instead of heart-clogging full cream. Peel the skin off the chicken and feel guilty eating bacon, egg yolks, avocado and anything not labelled lo fat? Now we're realising the polar opposite approach is where health lies. Too many fraudulent research funded by big pharma and lucrative food industry groups since 1970 has seen an ava...lanche of nutrition driven diseases. Diabetes, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Bi-Polar, obesity, dementia, atherosclerosis....all with one common denominator...Food intake. Medical orthodoxy has to be accountable. It's not a religion whereby beliefs are never to be questioned. As research uncovers statistically significant correlations, theories and hypotheses have to be edited. In 2017 a longitudinal study by Lancet covering 135,000 participants from 18 countries and 5 continents, aged 35-70 over 8 years showed the following: The impact of food choices and risk of death. Lowest carb consumers 28% higher risk! Highest fat consumers 23% lower risk! Highest saturated ('bad fats') 14% lower risk. Highest saturated fat 20% lower risk of stroke. Life is all risk and reward, and we can make decisions according to our risk assessment. For me it's one reason I never rode a motorcycle! I stumbled on the statistics relating to risk of death in my teens and scared the living daylights out of me. We all know people that lived long lives despite being heavy smokers. Today however we are aware of the increased risk of heart disease and lung cancer and smoke or not based on our own risk appetite. Re nutrition alas we re in the dark ages. Orthodoxy is not responding fast enough to evidence-based research. People are still walking around obese and feeling guilty because their diet efforts are not working, unaware that calories are not the issue - hormonal balance, gut bio, and lack of understanding of the sugar/carb/fat equation. My next post will point toward the dozen or so outliers at the pinnacle of their medical profession who are documenting the research and the anecdotal evidence of thousands of successful treatments inclusive autoimmune diseases, inflammation, ADHD, autism, obesity, diabetes and associated maladies, so that if you wish to delve deeper to draw your own conclusions you have a foundation to work from :)

15.01.2022 At the time I was pretty happy 20K's heavier. Looking back there's nothing healthy about an extra 6 inches in belt size. that's 100% visceral fat. Excess weight can seem healthy 'well-nourished' but as we age it increases so many illness risk factors

09.01.2022 Yikes! Following on from yesterdays post re exercise. Btw: exercise for mental health not for weight control! I'm kind of blown away though probably shouldn't be by this sobering statistic from The World Health Organistation (2016)... Obesity (defined below) has TRIPLED since 1975, to almost 2 BILLION people. Have you ever watched music videos from the 70's or Woodstock and thought (Wow, everyone is so skinny!) What's happening? Let's look at how obesity in these stats was measured. Weight in Kilos divided by height in metres squared. Example. I'm 75K's divided by my height 1.87 squared (3.49) gives a score of 21.7 Overweight score is 25-30 For me, overweight would be 87K's though there is a few kilos leeway if you carry above average muscle from physical work/gym. Obesity score is 30 and above. If I hit 104K s I d be considered obese. My point is that obese isn't just a few kilos around the waist, for me it would be an extra 30 Kilos (66 lbs) - equivalent extra weight to carrying a medium sized dog! It's not a sedentary life that's causing this epidemic, which it is, it's what we're eating. If diets worked obesity wouldn't be exploding. Diets are truly ubiquitous yet weight gain continues to escalate. 41 million children under 6 worldwide are now obese. It's FOOD. If obesity were just a vanity score, then who cares? The correlation however between obesity and Type 2 diabetes is almost parallel. Linked to this explosion is the horrific data showing up in over 60's for dementia and Alzheimers. It's worth looking at risk factors for disease if only to inspire us to make better-informed decisions in our day to day lives. For me a few habit changes like reducing carbs, increasing fats, finding 30 or so minutes a day to exercise with a little twist of 17-hour gaps between meals seems an easy enough trade-off to ward off the grim reaper Find Us @ BLOG https://www.elite-performance-academy.com/blog/ and www.facebook.com/groups/betterversionproject/ as well as on Instagram #betterversionproject

05.01.2022 Some resources as promised I AM NOT AN EXPERT. I AM NOT AN EXPERT. I AM NOT AN EXPERT!! Now that we have that out of the way, though there's perhaps one exception, unless we're living in a simulated reality I'm probably pretty qualified sharing my own personal experiences!...Continue reading
