Johan_Kleynhans Posted January 5, 2018 Share Blixem. Why is this so difficult? Workload and stress is killing me. There are times that at 18:00 I am passed out being this tired. I need to make some serious and immediate changes. Or I am setting myself up for failure (story of my life). Dammit I am tired of being tired Sent from my SM-G925F using TapatalkThat sounded like me a year ago. Woke up tired. Was always tired at work. Came home tired. Went to bed tired. I had no energy. What made a huge difference for me was when I started training again. Yes I am tired but it is different. Training helps me getting rid of stress. I rethink my day, I plan things for tomorrow and burn the fat. It is a lekker tiredness after the shower after the training. Sorry had to put it that way.

Lurch the stalker Posted January 6, 2018 Share Anyone have some simple menus to share please. Sent from my SM-G950F using TapatalkHere's a burger recipe I got from LexieB off here: (Disclaimer: I haven't made it yet, but I saw the pictures and it looked damn good) Not much of a recipe involved with the burger itself! I marinated chicken breasts in Peri prego sauce (I just used the woolies one) and then grilled it in a griddle pan. Just before it’s done, pop it under the grill in the oven with a slice of mozzarella cheese on top then I topped it with avo, woolies nut and seed sprinkles, cucumber, red onion and rocket, and used gem lettuce leaves in place of the bun Homemade mayo & coleslaw For the mayo: (yields about 1 & 1/4 cups) - 2 egg yolks- 1 tsp mustard (optional)- 3 tsp lemon juice- 1/2 cup olive oil- 1/2 cup coconut oil 1. Mix yolks, mustard & lemon juice2. Whisk vigorously (blender or food processor on low) while dripping the oil very slowly, even drop by drop in the beginning. You’re creating an emulsion and if you put too much oil at once, it will separate and will be very hard to save. Whisk non-stop3. As you add more oil, the emulsion will form and the mayonnaise will start to thicken and you can pour the oil faster at this point.4. When all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick, whisk in the rest of the lemon juice and taste. season to taste with salt and pepper. For the coleslaw: Mix together the following, then leave in the fridge for at least two hours (even better overnight) - 150g shredded red and white coleslaw cabbage (I use the pre-cut packet from woolies)- 1/4 cup mayo (if you can’t be bothered making the mayo, use any lite mayo. Woolies is awesome)- 1 red pepper, diced - 1 Granny Smith apple, skin on, grated- 30g raisins- 1/2tbsp olive oil- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar- 1 tbsp lemon juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruity Posted January 6, 2018 Share I am just curious to know, is anybody thats taking part on this thread doing the Banting diet, or are you people just cutting out carbs , sugary and refined stuff? I am not full banting , is that maybe the way to go? I know there is a banting thread, it seems to be a bit quiet on there....Well from me, I've cut out carbs, sugar and bread. Drinking water and sugarless coffee during the day. Oats for breakfast, four slices of cracker bread with a slice of ham for lunch, and a low carb dinner, like what we ate last night. In between evenings it'll be chicken and salad for dinner. When I was doing the GetFit challenge in 2015 (as I had put on roughly 20kg), they said that 5 small meals a day would boost my metabolism, so I was having oats for breakfast, a banana and an apple for a mid morning snack, medium portion of spaghetti bolognese for lunch, another banana and apple for a mid afternoon snack, and either a wrap or chicken with salad for dinner. I was going to gym, ie: doing the challenge in the gym twice a week, and it was an hour per session. In 9 months I went from 105kg to 82.9kg. I couldn't be bothered about the in between snacks this time around though. Help.Me. and veez999 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is a banting thread, it seems to be a bit quiet on there....When I was losing weight I didn't cut out anything apart from fizzy drinks. Replaced coke with lime and soda. The rest stayed exactly as is but just cut the calories according to My Fitness Pal target. Boom...19kg gone Now that I'm maintaining weight I still use MFP every day, just become such a habit and it keeps me on track Help.Me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruity Posted January 6, 2018 Share WOW that is great!!! Care to share the gym training regime.From what I remember, it was mostly cardio mixed with light weight training. Here's two videos of a GetFit session, although they've been shortened to give peeps an idea of the exercises involved.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za61Ls0nEL4&t=129s And here's the link for GetFit:http://getfitchallenge.co.za/Unfortunately there's no GetFit gym in the Eastern Cape yet.
