    Is there a point, where a healthy diet isn't?

    It's not just sugar you need to watch, it's carbs. Carbs are converted into glucose. Oat so Simple is over 50% carbs. I think I'll just starve!:rolleyes:

    Is there a point, where a healthy diet isn't?

    Just a thought, once a week, I allow myself a treat, normally it's a marinated grilled lamb or chicken breast, in a flat bread with plenty of salad and coleslaw. I know there's sugar in coleslaw, not very much in a flat bread and maybe a little in the marinade, but in the grand scheme of things...

    Is there a point, where a healthy diet isn't?

    I've spent a couple of hours this morning researching sugars in foods and drinks and it's a nightmare, I'm going to write myself a list when I'm shopping and stick to it. My income isn't brilliant and I've had to make a lot of sacrifices over the last 3-4 years, I had to sell a huge amount of my...

    E Mtb Exercise v MTB Exercise

    I used to see a lad at Hamsterley Forest years ago on a very heavy Muddy Fox, it weighed something like 42lbs, on top of that, he lived in Consett, so his ride there and back would be a 30+ mile round trip, before he got into hooning it about. Last time a saw him, he had legs like Chris Hoy and...

    Is there a point, where a healthy diet isn't?

    Thanks Lazy, I'll take a look at that book, as I live alone, there are times when I physically cannot be bothered or inclined to make anything, it's a crap situation, but hopefully the coming weeks will give me some ease and allow me to partake in real life.

    Is there a point, where a healthy diet isn't?

    I use Canderel, Sweetex or Truvia, it depends what I can get and if I remember. I have some Salter/HoMedics kitchen scales and they are fairly accurate, I check weigh any foods I'm going to be cooking with. I also have bathroom scales, but I wonder how accurate they are, the ones in my local...

    Is there a point, where a healthy diet isn't?

    Thank you for the heads up, the mug of rice was cooked brown rice and looked very little on the plate, I stopped having sugar in my coffee years ago, but use a sweetener these days, I couldn't say when I last had anything potato based and the toast I had was wholemeal, I'm going to have to do...

    Is there a point, where a healthy diet isn't?

    OK all, with my recent foray into the world of eMTB, I going to rekindle my weight loss plan, it's something my doctor suggested in January 2017. I have been eating quite sensibly over the last few years, with one treat per week, but my lack of ability to partake of very much physical activity...

    Comfort Saddles - what do you use?

    The best saddle I ever had was one fitted to my 1992 Marin Palisades Trail, it followed me on my next 3 steeds until it fell apart. I have a Spesh BG on my road bike and based on the reviews I've read over the years, I've just ordered a Charge Spoon, I might have mentioned on here a few days ago...

    Very tired, but oh so happy.

    I set the alarm for 5.30 am this morning and went to bed, dreaming of a nice ride out in just a few hours, sadly, my phone battery went flat during the night, so when I woke at 7.30, I was so annoyed, but, no one died. I walked the dog, had a quick coffee, got dressed and out the door, it was...

    First ride.

    also somewhere on here there was mention of first charge and what not to do,could be b***** but worth looking up..I'd Imagine it would be something you'd be told from cube if true. When I picked it up, it had 40% battery, it's what I was told the shop kept the batteries at and what I should...

    Strava issues between phone and watch (probably not for the first time).

    Hi all, following my first trip out on my new bike today, I've decided to make a concerted effort to log my rides, I've downloaded Strava to my phone (Motorola G7 Power), but, it won't send Strava to my Galaxy watch. The watch and phone work perfectly with other apps and software. After several...

    First ride.

    I collected my new Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 27.5 on Friday, but with it being very windy and my pains acting up, I wasn't able to get out until today. I did 17 miles and now I'm suffering a bit, I stayed on the back roads, didn't venture onto the tracks and trails until I get used to it. I rode in...

    I'm 56 and no longer made of rubber! wasn't so much a bounce more of a dull thud! You were lucky, with me, it's a resounding "splot".

    Tools for the home mechanic.

    With getting my new toy next Tuesday, I tried to take the pedals off my old bike to go on the new one, I opened the cyclists toolkit my kids got me a few Christmas's ago, one of the spanners bent and the other twisted like wet pasta, so I gave up and left it for another day. I didn't know where...
