janfromnam Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 All but gave up on March, annual beer fest in Cape Town beginning of the month and 2 weeks holiday after that and now easter weekend. Lost about 6kg's this month, but that was what I picked up during the month, real up and down stuff.
Beefy Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I have been intermittent fasting for six weeks now and today it’s finished, managed to loose 8 kg in the process,First time I’ve been under 90 kg in a long time, also learnt a great deal about will power and sacrifices. I will use this technique from now on when I feel I have over indulged Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWhich version of intermittent fasting did you use? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

gombai Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 I am happy I have even lost 1kg this month given all the parties, booze, holidays and long time on sickbay this month. I thought I would gain! Have to double down in April. What went well- increased water intake- longer rides, discipline to exercise was better- Second MTB race, increased fitness and result- good energy overall- tried one meal days and my body handled it quite well What did not go well- On holiday for a week, lots of food- Having no exercise for a week due to illness- no riding for a week and a half due to weather and bike issues- forgetting lunch boxes and habing not much healthy food options Great to see and be inspired by everyone's posts!

FirstV8 Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) With my highest km in a month since i starting training ( 775 for March ) i only manged a 1 kg loss . I have become fitter and stronger as i can now average 30kph on my 28.5 km circuit around the airport so i am quite happy that 1kg loss has resulted in a 3kph gain on my time trial ride as a gauge .

WaynejG Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Nice reduction for me. Not sure how April is going to work out, my Dad passed away on Thursday and have the funeral coming up this week. So no excercise and not sure how the eating is going to go. Anyway let's see what happens. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
Zatopek Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Dropped less than 1kg in a month... though I would have ordered my new bike by now Too little training - work, weekend holidays etc. And 12 Easter hot cross buns... my weakness... This need to change. Sort of happy that were able to keep it ~ constant even with the holidays/social/beer etc though. Body is used to eat less now. Edited April 2, 2018 by Zatopek

Kom Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Does the weight loss challenge allow you to use thermogenics such as l-carnitine? During eating periods such as easter Christmas, lower excercise periods in winter etc this stuff can help you keep the balance quite nicely. It's a natural protein (ie doesn't have any caffeine) found in your body which significantly improves your body's ability to metabolize fat. They are all pretty much the same, dis chem sells it for around R230 a bottle (USN, Bio-Gen etc). For those intermittent fasting, especially the 16 and 8 approach, take a table spoon before you sleep and another after coffee in the morning.
Cacey Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 I have so far lost 7kg's by only cutting cutting out food with Gluten in normal daily menu - same amount of training and eating as normal, in fact lost most of my kg's while having a massive cold and not riding at all. Must say I do miss a lekka beer after a Hard ride but all worth it!! Beesrib 1

Pieter1 Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Camel meat and fat from the hump. Pretty tasty but makes me scared to get on the scale.

Beesrib Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 What was the secret to breaking 95kg?I have no idea hey. Was struggling even though I was training well and eating well. Not following a diet, just trying to to limit the refined carbs and sugars. One thing that I did cut out for 2 weeks was having a couple of drinks. I think that really helped.
