Thanks for the calorie info there Aztruck. Must confess to the crash course route for weight loss these past coupla days but your post explained (first time I have heard it explained anywhere actually!) why it's bad to do that so it's the steady mode from now on. I always thought the advice against crash dieting was just soft, namby pamby idealism running amock so it's good to hear the actual reason behind not doing it.
Used to cycle regularly too Earthmover but again, I somehow got out of that habbit too. What the hell happens to most blokes between the ages of 20 and 25???? I don't know many guys my age who exercise and eat/drink sensibly!
Defining moment in this decision to lose the flab was reading Rick Wakemans autobiography. He had a heart attack at age 25. Granted, he had a booze problem at the time but even so..... time to shape up me thinks!
VFE.
