HiPaCC :: The Dietary Revolution

Hey, they may not be ignorring you; they may have:
1) Not been onto MT, or
2) Busy and have not got around to replying yet.  I know that I'm very busy sometimes and it may take me several working days to reply to people.  And I think several working days is perfectly acceptable: at least it used to be, but in the days of the internet people expect replies too soon IME!
 
Sounds like what you're doing is right.  Give it longer though - 8 days is not much and there are many variables.

I know James, I was just being an arse, really.
 
I'm sticking to it and seeing what happens. I like the diet very much, it's more of an eating sensibly diet than a 'crash' diet, and that helps. I'm actually looking forward to meal times rather than wondering what I can have, and I do enjoy the cardio.
 
Having said all that, if I don't lose a pound or two this week someone's going to get it.

Ok, cool: keep us posted.

THATS SO TRUE KITTY,
I WORK WITH A YOUNG BLOKE WHO'S GETTING MARRIED NXT YEAR SO HES DOING THE WW THING WITH HIS FIANCE HE SITS IN THE CANTEEN EATING BURGER/CHIPS WITH A YAZZO MILKSHAKE FOLLOWED BY BANANA SPONGE AND CUSTARD TO FINISH OFF AND DEFENDS HIS ACTIONS BY QUOTING "ITS WITHIN MY POINTS, SO ITS OK"
I JUST DONT GET IT

Hi James,
I previously lost 6/7 stone following a relatively poor diet and have since gained a couple of stone back, but in this time I have become far fitter and stronger.

I would really like to lose more fat but not lose any muscle, would this be possible? My current training regime is:
 
Monday - Weights + Circuit Training
Tuesday - Weights + Rugby Training
Wednesday - Weights + Circuit Training
Thursday - Weights + Rugby Training
Friday - Cardio. Could be going for a run, anywhere between 6 and 10 miles. 45 minutes on the cross trainer etc.
Saturday - Golf, probably around 5-6 miles walking with a bag on my back, takes 3.5 hours.
Sunday - Rest

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon
 
Yes, that's possible with good structure.  HiPaCC is designed for this too

How can i get hold of the ebook ?

Please email info@healthyaction.co.uk and we'll send details.

Well, I've started to give this a read and I'm finding it very interesting. Two things which really strike me are:
 
1) What a stupid fvcked up world we have. No wonder we have so many health problems when every garage, shop, cafe has sweet sticky fatty evilness tantalizingly easy to grab.
 
2) Every kid should get the nutritional, anatomical, and physiological information contained here taught to them at school.

Hi PG
 
Yes, fair enough comments; and these things have been creeping up on us over the years.  It wasn't this pronounced when I was a kid!

Hi James,
 
I have just sent a e-mail requesting info on how I can get this book.
 
Sadly my training has lapsed greatly due to an injury and stupidly I have allowed the fat to go back on, as such I am not only overweight but also feel lethargic all the time. So now my injury has been repaired I am hoping that with this book I can get back into shape again by eating healthily and training correctly.

Do keep us posted as to how you get one
 

Hi James, hashas the program changed in any way since you first published it?
 
As for the WW thing, my wife swears by it, and to be fair she has lost a lot of weight as a result, however even she can see the futility in the extra points one can get because she adds exercise to her weekly plan, whats the point of eating more just because you exercise, WTF?

Hi there
 
No, it's the same principles.
 
Are you following the plan?

Not following the diet at the moment, having decided to start looking after myself, in what I eat and exercise, I've been utilising some of the principles I learned when you used to do my meal plans for me, however that is principles only, not in a measured portion fashion, just a gebneral reduction of what I was eating. I also bought the HiPacc diet back then and thought I'd see how I get on with it, however I no longer have the pdf.

Well, keep us posted on how you get on!

Started reading the ebook this weekend - so glad i came across this forum!! I now realise how important it is for me to be informed about what my food options are. 
Ive been waisting my time up to now - well done, and thanks James!
 

Glad you're finding it useful already. Any queries, please let me know here.

Thanks James!
My wife's a GP nurse and she runs the local diabetics clinic - she also thinks it's great, and she's said this will really help her convey info to her patients.
 
Ive started some cardio and im trying to get my head around whats best. ive tried cross-trainer and treadmill but yet to meet a gym bod to explain whats best. from what i read here i think im after 45 mins of cv work keeping heart rate around 60/65% peak HR. Also doing some weights but i need to investigate what i should be doing in this area. Need to work out what muscle group programe i do on each visit.
 
Diet ive dramatically changed: now using "PhD Diet Whey" twice a day and put a lot of thought into what and when i eat, as well as loads of water and better sleep: no more late nights!
 

Good stuff.  Yes, that sounds about right with heart rate, but it's also what feels right.  Weights, are you new to weight training?
