Link between fatty foods and heart disease 'a myth'; fats are actually good for you s

[Goosey]

Silverback, drawing on your last comment, what do you personally think of my current approach to keep carbs at 50% of calories, but to cut sugar to les than 10%. I am also going to make greater effort to reduce polyunsaturated fats.

What is your ideal proportion, say protein, carbs, and fat.


I do moderate cardio, say 3 x 15km rides a week, and 2-3 running or walking sessions (up to 20 minutes), along with 4-5 weights and sprint sessions per week.

As my previous day diet indicated, I had quite low carbs for breakfast, then trained, and then has a high proportion of carbs for lunch after training.

I am thinking have the bulk of my carbs prior to dinner, and less so for dinner. I am currently dropping weight down to 86-87kg (hopefully about 6% body fat), now weigh 90.5kg.

Just interested in your thoughts (and others).

I like to keep things pretty simple spart.
I eat when I feel hungry, I drink plenty of water so I don't get that confused (hunger)
I don't over eat, try to stay a little hungry all the time.
I eat what I want, when I want, most of, or the bulk of my food comes from vegetables and oats (stone ground)

I'm eating less red meat, with better results.

Minimal dairy

I take a daily recipe of antioxidant, have done for the last 20 years or so.
3times a day
Vitamin C 500 x 3
Vitamin E 400iu x 3
Beta carotene 12000 iu x 3
Selenium 17 mcg x 3
Q10 50 x 3

Vit B

But most of my food is steamed and salted vegetables
Carrot
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Cauliflower
Potato
Asparagus

Bucket loads, lunch and dinner.

Pizza once a week
A big t-bone and veg twice a week(the wife gets the good bit)
Spaghetti Bol once a week.

Take away on the weekend.

ok, thanks for that.

I think a lot of a good diet is common sense, eat well and sparingly, avoiding high processed foods most of the time, and you can't really go wrong.

I dont really have much vitamins, beyond one supplement for my knee (calcium, magnesium and others) to deal with my fractures (which now include a current broken collarbone).

That's how I see it.
