Just had it, it's very nice actually. There's a nice sweetness to the beetroot when it's blended. A scoop of oats in there as well to thicken it. You piss pink too, which is nice.
I once ate a full jar of pickled beetroot and I thought I was ****ting blood the next day and had a massive panic attack I'm also colourblind if that doesn't make sense on colour spectrum!
Just had my blood pressure checked; 122 over 75 with a heart rate of 56 resting. Will probably keel over tomorrow!
Not when you get to my age! It freaks you out! I don't go anywhere near beetroot for that very reason!
If you like a glass or two with Sunday lunch you could do Sunday evening to Friday evening ( I very rarely drink in the daytime anyway). I’ve done this before. The bonus is the first pint on Friday night tastes like pure ****ing nectar!
I was doing this same time last year. The trio into Sainsbury's for my Friday evening ales was a highlight of the week! Week day boozing has to stop for a while and then just enjoy in moderation at weekends. I don't drink to get pissed anyway, I just enjoy a drop or two of ale and wine. Sometimes I accidentally do get bladdered of course!
Eat more saturated fats. https://drbeckycampbell.com/why-fat-is-not-the-enemy/ Fat Doesn’t Always Make Us Fat Another common myth surrounding fat intake is that consuming fat will make us fat when in fact eating the right fats can actually help aid weight loss efforts. Fat is a wonderful energy source which means that when we eat foods rich in healthy fats, we are more likely to become full more quickly and have sustained energy as opposed to snacking on refined carbohydrates and sugar. Fats can help fuel the body, provide us with energy, and help prevent overeating.
Best bits of advice I can offer from someone who does this kind of **** pretty regularly: 1. Get an app to track what you eat, Myfitnesspal is the best one I find. It is a bit of a ballache for the first week or so but after that it will remember stuff you have put in before so makes it much quicker to track how many calories you are having a day. Don't bother tracking exercise on there though, all exercise estimation things are **** from my experience. 2. Don't massively worry about daily calorie goals, look at it weekly. Say you want to be eating around 2000 calories to drop some weight, don't worry if one day you eat 2500 or something, think more of 14000 a week. Means if you want a treat meal or an extra pint at the weekend you don't feel as guilty and less likely to fall off the wagon and pack the whole diet in completely as you will have calories left over if you've been monitoring your intake. 3. Skipping is THE best form of cardio. All you need is a rope with some weighted handles and (preferably) a counter on it. Do 2000 a day (takes about 20-30 mins for a beginner) and you will shed weight like you wouldn't believe. Also unless you are proper malcoordinated you get pretty good at it really quickly so can throw in some tricks which keeps it interesting and better than rowing/running/bike in a gym. Oh and if you have barely any muscle on you, hit the gym. Amazing how much easier shedding fat is if you have decent muscle mass to begin with. Makes your maintenance calories that much higher and the afterburn you get from a big gym session really does help.
