So please look after your knees, I wince when I see people running with bandages on their knees, if the knee hurts, there's a reason, don't make it worse.
Some may need a gastric bypass because of calories in!
Well and truly noted.
I've been vacillating about getting a bike and have opted for a decent static bike. Struggling to put the stupid thing together almost as we speak as it were. Just have to finish the decorating the living room, then decorate the front room, lay power cables down the garden to the man cave, clear out the garage, get my little boat ready for the summer . . . . . . . . . . .
Ever so slightly tongue in cheek - I think I need more staff so that I can allocate more time to exercise. LOLOLOL
I have taken the exercise comment on board, anything I might say is just a poor excuse for not spending more time exercising.
I take on board the whole thing about exercise, although I no longer keep a time sheet, I seem to be on my feet most of the day and the first opportunity to sit down is to eat at lunch time and then again at dinner time. I know shopping, cooking and housework don't count as exercise, but I at least get some exercise walking to and from the shops.
Hi Bluetit,In my little world, "decorating the living room, then decorate the front room, lay power cables down the garden to the man cave, clear out the garage, get my little boat ready for the summer" would be excellent exercise on its own without the need for additional, and why don't you count shopping and housework as exercise? I do. Cleaning windows, pushing hoovers about, especially on stairs, cleaning floors, carrying shopping bags back and forth is all exercise. In my little world, anyway.
Hi Bluetit,
I agree with you but I've been hard on myself because I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong and by not counting too much on everyday chores as exercise, that's another form of burning calories that don't come into the overall equation and if they did, they'd be on the minus side anyway.
Today, typical day really, been moving furniture to get more decorating done, back is giving me a lot of grief so I'll do some measuring up and some skirting board staining, I can sit on my backside to do that. My knee replacements will allow some kneeling, just not for long.
Cheers,As far as I am aware, you can't lose weight by exercising. It may well assist general health and muscle tone, but not weight (in my humble opinion). It has frequently been said that a short 20 to 30 minute walk is all that is necessary.
Cheers,
When I look at calories burned for different exercises I am surprised. I believe better muscle tone should help with metabolic problems. I've got a really good static bike, just struggling with the fiddly wires that go to a screen on the front. I use to do a lot of cycling (150 miles a week) but I'm genuinely plain scared of getting killed, hence the static bike. HID can use it as well so killing 2 birds with one stone.
My son in law eats like a horse and is thin as a rake.

Some is better than nothing, of course if one likes to go to the gym or to play basket, go for it, and for sure one burns calories. But I don't like to go to the gym or make exercises. I prefer a brisk walk instead to thake the car or the public transportations, so I do it. I also like to use a bike but not in Turin, because the quantity of ill behaved people both on other bikes and cars...Don't be too hard on yourself. Just because some people on the forum run, cycle, go to the gym, generally tire themselves out with organised exercise doesn't mean it is necessary. You can achieve exactly the same with the sort of daily activities you do in your own home.

Even in little old Hazlemere (pop. less than 10,000) I wouldn't chance the roads on a bike.
I the countryside, in the small town where my parenst are living I absolutely love to ride my MTB, especially on gravel roads, but even on roads with cars I feel more safe than in the city...Even in little old Hazlemere (pop. less than 10,000) I wouldn't chance the roads on a bike.
Have you ever tried cutting out dairy completely to see what effect that might have? Might be worth a try.
Thank you for mentioning that
I'm annoyed with myself really because it was the dairy that I increased to eat more calories and of course I hear such great thing about LCHF. I think I can safely say that it was a bad plan to increase my fats because it's now not so easy to drop some of them. The cream has gone no problem, but the real yoghurt (no added sugar) is proving more difficult. I shall have to be ruthless and cut dairy all together. My Nutritional Therapist has been on at me about dairy for a while now, I'll have to knuckle down and return to proper low carb low fat that I use to manage, no problem until somebody (GP and most people who follow WW and other similar diet organisations) said you need to eat more. They were wrong in my case.
As you can imagine the whole thing is a nightmare because doctors don't always take you seriously in the first place, but at least my present GPs are pretty good and they will talk to me (last GP just said Rome wasn't built in a day). They have to talk to me, the amount of documentation I show, very impressed with Libre reports.
The Alpro coconut is good too . only a little more carb. about 3 I thinkIf you enjoy yoghurt, Alpro plain is very tasty, dairy free and only 2.1% carb.
