We've recently taken to making our own granola for breakfast. Nuts, seeds and honey in a blender to blitz a bit and mix, then roast in the oven for about 20 mins on a low heat, stirring to make sure it's evenly toasted. Add milk (using almond milk at the minute as on a bit of a health kick), fresh fruit and raisins in the morning then and you've got a tasty, fairly healthy and hearty breakfast.

Downside is that it's pretty expensive to make relative to cereal.

My mother is always making it, gets the nuts and some sort of fruit in lidl and its not that expensive. Have to eat it woth youghurt though!

Try agave syrup instead of honey some time, it's freakin amazing.

I must try and make your granola, cheers.

Anyone know the history of cereal and how it came to be such a prominent breakfast food in this part of the world? Same with toast. Cereal and/or toast have to objectively seem like really bad choices for your first meal of the day.

I assume toast is historically linked to heading to bakeries at 6am in France or something like that? When/why/how'd cereal get such a good rap though?

That sounds class. Imagine its much more expensive than regular cereal all right, but a highly decent breakfast. Does the honey not make it stick to the blender though, or you just put that in towards the end?

Nope, you only put enough honey in to make it sticky, not congealed.

The things we have in it this week are walnuts, Almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds as well as the honey.

My mother is always making it, gets the nuts and some sort of fruit in lidl and its not that expensive. Have to eat it woth youghurt though!

Nuts are bloody expensive in general. This breakfast won't be a daily thing by any means but it's on the rotation.

Look at you, you big veggie you.

Far from veggie, although the breakfast is very much in your line of food. It's very easy to make anyhow, just make sure you don't over bake it.

Catwoman, Poisen Ivy, Joker who else, alfred and the waynes of course ?

I thought it was pretty good as comic book drama, liked the nod to the comics also.

That question that bullock asks gordon near the end is the fundamental one though !

SPOILER

The Riddler, Edward Nigma was one of the people working in the police department at the start, obviously slipped with Penguin. As for Joker you talking about the comic doing the stand up?

Donal Logue is a pretty decent actor but he was iffy in this, Ben McKenzie as James Gordon will be in my good graces for awhile after he killed it in Southland.

Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn lined up for True Detective season 2, hmmmm.

Colin Farrell was ok but after all the garbage Vince Vaughn has been in lately I'm a little sceptical on that front.

...Ah, I got him mixed up with someone else sorry...I am from drimnagh...And I am off work for 3 months since about 3 weeks ago...This happened before I was out of work...

Must've missed the thing about work, hopefully nothing serious?

Some lovely home made soup and small side salad (with meat) for lunch. Dinner last night was roast beef, carrot and parsnip mash with cauliflower. Dinner tonight will be a few pints and chicken wings. Not a by the book night tonight.

A few weeks of quasi paleo (I don't lift though) with the odd bad day is my current M.O.

Believe it or not, almost all food based ideas in our place come from me. I'm trying to cut out a lot of the crap for a few weeks and her idea of a change in diet involves eating very little on specific days, so I'd rather do it a way where I won't starve. I've been back in the gym a few times a week for the last few months but due to my poor enough diet lost barely anything. In the first week of this one I've lost nearly 3 kg.

I'm not under any illusion I'm undergoing a V4V lifestyle change, but I'm happy to try it for a few weeks anyhow now and then to reach my goal for a while. I like my crap food too much to give it up permanently, so I'm resigned somewhat to the yoyo results.

my Nexus 5 seems to be on the blink. Basically, any call i receive starts out fine then becomes this alien gibberish noise. if you can remember the radio sequence in dune where they are picking up a message and are trying to decode it, well that's what it sounds like.

anyway, spoke to Google and looks like they'll be sending me a new one very shortly.

on a side note, off to do an app coding course tomorrow. am genuinely very excited about it!!

FUCKING BRILLIANT!!

Im blue in the face trying to tell people what you have figured out for yourself. For most people just cutting out the crap will yield massive results. To be fair healthy food is nice too people just have to get out of a convenience mindset.

The 5-2 diet seems to be a new thing and is lolworthy. Basically people are miserable for 2 days a week because they over indulge the other 5. whereas its the exact same as someone who just eats normally for 7 days a week and avoids the crap. At the end of the week both parties have likely consumed the same calories but I know which way I'd be happier doing

Ya that's the stupid one she's on about. I told her I'd be eating normally if she's doing that. I haven't had bread, dairy or potatoes in the last 10 days or so, and while I don't miss them particularly, I miss the convenience, especially with sandwiches. Obviously properly bad food is a bigger leak and I've cut that out too except for a square of 70% chocolate a day.

the sindo gave over the front page and a good chunk inside last sundays paper drooling over the 5 2 diet. As sure a sign as any that its complete horseshit

[Tar.Aldarion]

That diet is so retarded, the point of a diet is to keep it up forever, it's not a diet it's a life change or you go back to the same way again. Who is going to keep that up for decades? Your approach is much better, better eating with some splurges.

After you stop having things like bread, chocolate etc for a while you lose the addiction to sugar. But I won't be giving things like that up 100%.

[6starpool]

Ya in a while I will start eating some of that stuff but will hopefully reach a reasonably happy medium still keeping aspects of the more disciplined approach. I'd blame my cold on th change in diet but who ever got sick by eating more fruit and veg?

Haha true enough, I go through kg after kg of veg every week and never felt better. I noticed after stopping eating sugar, veg started to taste better, and some of them have become quite sweet to me, really was eating too much sugary shite. Make ye feel crap and ye don't even know it.

The discipline is really the main thing to to keep in mind. I don't care if I have a takeaway or crisps or beer if I'm eating all the other good stuff most of the time.

At the end of the day the same basic principal to weight loss remains the same i.e. you need to burn more calories than you take in. Now obviously its very hard for the fitness industry to make money off that principal so they need to disguise it with bells and whistles. Much like the way vegas is always trying to come up with fancier ways for you to do the loots.

Anyway if someone wanted to be scientific about it just work out what you are burning every day and pick a reasonable amount of calories below this - the recommended is 500 but I dont see any harm in stretching that a bit once you aren't too miserable and eat that much.

As far as food choices go I think that should be up to the individual where possible. After awhile (if they want to stay within their daily limit) they will see that a Mars bar = a 50g bowl of pasta = a 400g piece of sausage wrapped in bacon More often than not the healthier food choice will leave you feeling fuller for longer. The only reason I avoid a lot of carbs is because I think there are better volume : calorie foods out there that wont leave me feeling as bloated. I also want to keep my blood sugar and hormones reasonably level but thats another discussion.

Really considering endocrinology as a career leaning on treating diabetes and the overweight problem we have. So much misinformation and lobby groups to get through though

Can anyone recommend somewhere in Dublin for Yoga? Hatha yoga.

Just having that wonderful annual tradition at this time of year whereby I decide I want to do something that involves classes that have started literally a few days beforehand. It's uncanny.

Nor sure what hatha yoga is to answer that. (no idea if it's good or not there either)

@5star that's the keto flu! Can be quite nasty but its literally just a withdrawl

@Tar its amazing what can happen when you clean up your diet. For example I now find 85% dark chocolate lovely with a cup of tea in the evenings. On the flip side I was hungover last Saturday and feeling like shite so I asked my girlfriend to get me a can of coke from the shop. I had about 2 mouthfulls out of it and had to put it down and got that horrible feeling in my teeth after. hard to explain

Yeah BK, I know what you mean. You just don't want it any more as your body isn't addicted to it. It's not used to it any more. Things like sweetcorn or grapes taste ridiculously sweet to me now, let alone sweets.

I note how much more energy I have now, go to the gym 5 times a week etc. Before I was falling asleep after lunch, now I'm the opposite. Sugar was such a roller coaster of feeling high and then crashing. My chest also feels way less congested after stopping dairy but that's another story.

Calories on packaging over here tends to be reasonably accurate I find but I did notice that dude bought a lot of process and/or premade stuff. Its far more accurate to test raw ingredients as you can account for things such as cooking oils etc

If people are interested I suggest you check out these subreddits. They are good info for the most part, are very active and will give you some new ideas. I will say that none are perfect by themselves as there tends to be bias in all of them but if taken together they are a great resource

http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/ Probably the best one in terms of overall wellness but they do focus a lot on what you lift rather than losing weight and getting shredded but still decent

http://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/ more of a motivational side of fitness and a lot of people religiously using MyFitnessPal. Here is where you see some new fad diets and noob questions like "I have plataued does that mean I am putting on muscle?" but not a bad resource

http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/ These guys are big followers of low carb lifestyle. I dont really use it that much but handy for looking up new recipe ideas
