sky.live : possible for 1300 calories but that may mean taking protein supplement as meal replacement though.

Each meal is like 300-400 calories only with 50-100 for 2x snack. Angmo cooking can allow this and I think Japanese home cook meal. Chinese homecook meal - have to jaga a bit but still possible. Prepare to eat a lot of raw salad.

triple02 : with raw oats, try missing some other types of dried fruits other than raisins. Or even using real fruits. Don't put to much but just enough. I like bananas in it - makes it very sweet.

if you cannot cut your ingrown toenail, go and see the doctor before it starts to get septic.

disciple : check with syd g, tengster and pizzaboy. I dunno wor.

Added on April 20, 2009, 8:11 amtriple02 : hmmm...there is a type of wheatgerm mix called Weetabix if you'd like to try it out. That has a lot of fibre and is a known complex carbo.

The only thing is that it contains some white sugar but it's not so much that it's sweet. However, you'll need to account for it when counting how much carbo you take in.

The standard Weetabix doesn't have much white sugar unlike the Weetbix Bites which you can eat whole since it has raisins and more sugar in it.

The other option is trying out mueslis but getting one that doesn't have white sugar or coconut is a bit tough. If cannot avoid white sugar, I just buy the one with the lowest content.

Do you know that it's better to put sugar than milo? No really. Milo has ............. palm oil in it. If you feels like reading the ingredient, pls do so

Real HIIT is pretty intense (the level where you wish that you'd die at the very last 10 seconds of the high intensity part) so HIIT is a no no on empty stomach even for endo. Eat something for HIIT - you'll burn the fat afterwards (google HIIT afterburn and calorie partitioning).

I'm pretty wasted from yesterday's afternoon run. Will do 30 mins 16% incline walk on threadmill to train teh calves and core work during lunch hr.

Had 3 eggs + nescafe for breakfast (and multivitamin + CLA). Coffee n eggs

Syd G, mind to share how you do you HIIT?

How do you guys usually eat oats? With low fat milk or just plain oat??

yeah i read about it Syd but i find it hard to stop the Milo intake, I was a heavy caffein addict last time, Coffee everytime! , morning evening snack all coffee coffee coffee.....till i OD'ed and was getting alot of headaches then i changed to Milo trying to keep the intake at a very minimal level..i mix it in a container 500g of oats with 2 tablespoons of Milo and 2 teaspoon of sugar + Ligo raisins and thats about it itll last me about 3 weeks that...

will try hard to resist from weighing myself today

5 mins very slow jog (5.5km/h) warmup
5 mins faster job (6.0km/h) warmup

First Interval (still warming up):
2 mins 7.0
1 min 9.0

Second Interval (getting there..) :
1 min 7.0
1 min 9.0
30 seconds 11.0

Real Sets Interval (Repeat for 3-6 times)
1-2 min 7.0 (depending on how tired I am)
2 min 9.0
1 min 12.0 <<

Cooldown
2 mins 7.0
5 mins 5.5 very slow jog

My speed and recovery rate are pretty slow compared to others. You should adjust yours accordingly.

once you set your goal for HiiT you die for it? lol, if you use a timer for your HiiT u really hate the sound of starting, and craving for the sound of resting interval xD

Sky.Live,
depending on where I'm at. if I'm at first intense interval n hv 5 to go... I'd dread the resting period cause it's seconds closer to the 2nd interval

but if you're doing hiit and feel like stopping, ask urself first - i want to stop because i dont want to do it or because i cant do it anymore? if you cant then by all means stop cause falling off treadmill aint glamorous.

Do 5mins at 12.0km/h. Awesome koyak orgasm feeling.

Trying very hard to breath in and out.

When I just started, I do...

3mins walk as warm up...

5mins at 8.5km/h, then 3mins at 12.0km/h.

After a month, getting more crazee. 10mins - 15mins at 8.5km/h, 5mins at 12.0km/h. No break in between, straight away continue.

That's where I got my right leg injury, even till now. Haven't recover. FUKKKKK!

DannGunn : I eat oats that come premix together with wheat germ and dried fruits i.e. muesli. It's a bit more expensive because it's imported stuff.

Rather than put in white sugar or milo or honey in oats, try adding fresh fruits and dried fruits in it. The sugar from the fruits will go into the oats. Don't put too much in though, just a bit will do. If you don't want to have white sugar from fruits, buy the dried fruits in organic shops like cranberries and other dried fruits. Fresh fruits may be bananas, apples, pears.

hi all..morning!!!

the last i do HIIT...my HR goes from 141..straight to 173....then feel like pening a bit after continue for 30 secs...

thanks, i guess i'll stick to incline walks on empty stomach

Hey sign me up... maybe something like this will keep me motivated.

Current stats - 180cm, 103.5kg

I know i can get to 98kg in 30 days, done that too many times now, but i've never been 97kg or less in a long time. So i'll try to get to 97kg if i can...

Weight to lose - 5kg (or 6kg )

right now i eat oats with HL low fat milk..
i don't drink milo anymore considering the high carb it contains!
u're from kch right? where got cranberries here?

oops missed the cutoff date

I'm also doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred but stuck on Day 2 since uh last week. It's only 20-minutes but so punishing. It will be great if I can do it for like 30 days straight like some people I've seen online.

Current weight: 74.5kg, 164lbs
Lose: 72.5 kg, 160 (-2 kg by deadline)

Added on April 20, 2009, 2:29 pmI just discovered oats! So simple and tasty. Plain pack of rolled oats. 1/2 cup - 1 cup water in a pot, add 1/2 teaspoon honey with some raisins. Bring to boil then throw in the oats of an equivalent amount. Mix. Let it dry up for like 1 - 2 minutes, keep stirring .. then take out. Add a bit of walnuts or other nuts/seeds for crunch. I'm kinda addicted now.

redninja,
Wah. 30 Days Shred is really really hard. Hopefully you can make it to 30 days! I skipped my 2nd day too. Will reclaim myself tonight for Day 3! And maybe do it twice

Wah I salute you, if you do it twice.

I'm scared of Level 2. I previewed it the other day but then it's like 8+ days down the line so maybe can build up to it.

Talking about honey, do it contain sugar? U talking about what kinda oat? Need to cook one or instant?

The one I get is not instant. You can check the shelves they are labeled "rolled oats" at Cold Storage, Giant or stores. You can find them in baking goods stores too (cheaper?) and they're nice to make oatmeal raisin cookies and such I'm not sure what the difference is with instant but previously I tried those and didn't like them at all. These need to be cooked but like 1-2 min only.

The honey question is a lil weird and I'm no expert but I presume that the honey is less processed than the sugar. Not all sugar is evil maybe in mass quantities The 1/2-1 teaspoon of sugar is only about 15-25 calories and for me is really worth it in the oats as they give so much flavor. If you add the same amount of sugar it will taste less so. Honey is 'sweeter' (tasting) than sugar so a little goes a long way. Correct me if I'm wrong of course.

I don't like this kinda oat.. Like baby one... feel geli eating it...
I gonna try oat with honey later...

oat with muesli is ok, with so many raisins, nuts, and berries inside.
eating oat along make me lost appetite
