Serious bigup for StapesMK1

[widge milward]

Major thanks to Stapes for hooking me up and giving me all the help and advise i have needed.... THANKS BUDDY!

Ok a bit of background, those that know me, know i like to eat and whilst takign a break from training last year a went up to 84kg. Start of the year i "tried" to get my arse in gear and i slowly got down to 81.2kg 6 weeks ago.

I then got speaking to StapesMK1 and he offered to sort me out a diet to try. It wasnt too complicated, didnt need to go and buy in a load of fancy foods etc.

6 weeks later a stood on the scales this morning and was 73.3kg. i still have quite a bit to lose to be fair, but im aiming to sit around 70kg if possible.

Any questions / concerns i had he took time to give me a detailed response every time.

So this thread was just to big him up as i feel his knowledge doesnt get the recognition it deserves, the guy knows his nutrition!!

When he posts replys on threads sit up and take notice!!

Stapes Mk1 knows as much about nutrition as Stapes360 knows about conditioning. They are a great addition to the team

I eat shit and still weigh under 70 which makes me wonder what it could be like.

Eat less and keep renting is best advice

Thanks guys, I'm flattered. I guess my time at Uni wasnt all mispent then!!

Its all pretty simple once you know how to put things together really.

Theres no magic secret to it, just eating the right amounts of the right foods at the right time.

Ive just started eating Quinoa this week and its been like a revelation!!!! I would definately recommend it to anyone seeking an alternative to brown rice.

Most people who want to get really really serious about getting in shape or dropping fat need to seriously look at their source of carbs and switch to oats, brown rice and bananas pre/post training as their only whole food source of carbs. Switching to wholemeal bread and pasta and continuing to drink dairy milk can only get you so far.

Im sure there's a thread on here bout Quinoa ("Keen-wa") and its dead easy to google, so wont bore you with too much info. Safe to say, it is piss easy to prepare, has approx 62g carbs per 100g, a GI of 32 (lower than brown rice) and fills you up really well. Brown rice always opens up my stomach and makes me feel hungrier when I eat it. Quinoa is light, fluffy, really lightly flavoured and filling.

Dead easy to eat and has the numbers you need for an athletes diet. Will definately keep it part of my long term diet and next time I need to drop weight.

Thanks again for the kind words guys, your all more than welcome.
