Chocolate, if you are really hooked on chocolate and not that fat/sugar combo, then get dark chocolate, Green and Black, Lindt's 75% dark choc ++

There are other foods you can start to substitute after you have weened yourself off crisps and choc (athough proper chocolate/cocoa is actually a GREAT super food).

that is my complete vice, at the moment I'm driving for a job (Van man) and so service stations end up being too much temptation, even if I've got a Tupperware tub of fruit or nuts! I'm crap at temptation, something I really got to sort out.


At the moment I'm trying to have:


Breakfast: Muesli with skimmed milk
Check the ingredients on your museli, make sure that there is no invert sugar or glucose syrup in it. Add some protein to this meal, whey protein mixed in with the milk is great.
Snack: Banana
Lean protein with every meal/snack, add in 8-10 almonds

Lunch: Chicken wrap home made with lettuce, chilli peppers, peppers, cucumber in wholewheat wrap or chicken, wholegrain rice and veg.

Snack: Fruit, usually Blueberries or apple
Protein

Dinner: Egg White Omelette with peppers, ham and onion.

Supplements: I try to have a post workout Whey Protein shake with skimmed milk, can't stand water!
Post workout skimmed milk is fine.

Workout wise: Apart from the 26mile a day cycle 5 days a week I try at least 2 strength days exercising different parts of the body.

I am doing the cycling to work and back as well, 28 miles a day. Are you doing yours fasted in the morning?

My aim is to get down to about 12.5 stone and a Body Fat of well under 20 would be nice but would settle for less than 25!!

I would like to be much slimmer and with a more toned physique, I don't want to bulk up.

Hun, no offense, you are bulky already.

Fat takes up way more space than muscle, and it has no shape.

This is a bodybuilding forum, the terms 'slimmer' and 'toned' are best left for things like women's magazines and weight watchers.



Thanks for all your help so far!
Your cardio is sorted at least while the weather is good, weight training is essential, and there is room for improvment in your diet.

Loads of fruit and veggies are essential, and protein in every meal.


Just to give you an idea about that 'toning' (YUCK) thing.............
