  • When it comes to weight loss there is only one hard rule - calories in must be less than calories out. Then how to achieve that differs. Often going high in (quality) protein is preferable, especially if training. You will still need plenty of carbs and fat as those are what gives you energy, but you can skew the ratio towards protein.

    If you want to go the shake for lunch path you may want to look for meal replacement shakes rather than training shakes. It is however a field I’m not very knowledgeable in. But that is how I would do it, if doing shake. Or if you just want a lighter lunch, something semi-fluid, I cannot recommend enough going down the yoghurt/quark road. Combine with some muesli and fruits/berries. Quark is the high protein option (10%+ by weight) but is much firmer. If you need even more protein add eggs.




  • Somewhat similar to my situation. Active job, a bit of bike riding and stable between 105-110kg. Fall one and a half years ago as the cycling season wound down I took the plunge on a black friday/week and got me some basic gym gear and got a rebated membership. Chose the one with the most classes because I knew myself, that without exterior pressure (having signed up to a class) I would drop off. Half a year later I was down 20kg by having many evenings taken up by fitness classes. Which made me get home later. Have dinner later. And didn’t get time to get snacky before bedtime. That the snacking got cut out did the heavy weight loss and all the training have revitalised me.

    Then the last year dropped another 5kg while getting stronger and more visibly fit. So the excess fat loss (which I’m more concerned about) is probably greater.




  • Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks

    to the Turkish Sultan:

    You Turkish Satan, brother and comrade of the damned devil and secretary to Lucifer himself! What the hell kind of knight are you? The devil s[hit]s and you and your army swallow [it]. You aren’t fit to have the sons of Christians under you; we aren’t afraid of your army, and we’ll fight you on land and sea.

    You Babylonian busboy, Macedonian mechanic, Jerusalem beerbrewer, Alexandrian goatskinner, swineherd of Upper and Lower Egypt, Armenian pig, Tatar goat, Kamenets hangman, Podolian thief, grandson of the Evil Serpent himself, and buffoon of all the world and the netherworld, fool of our God, swine’s snout, mare’s a[ssho]le, butcher’s dog, unbaptized brow, may the devil steam your a[s]s!

    That’s how the cossacks answer you, you nasty glob of spit! You’re unfit to rule true Christians. We don’t know the date because we don’t have a calendar, the moon [=month] is in the sky, and the year is in a book, and the day is the same with us as with you, so go kiss our b[ut]t!
