Back for another go! Weight down, power up!

Hi everyone. First of all thank you to all those who supported me in my attempt to get on the HCRV lifestyle when I was visiting this site a few months back. Despite this support I failed miserably. However, I'm back to try again - my aim is to eat as close to 80/10/10 as possible. I'll be eating as much fruit as possible but also potatoes/rice and vegetables in absence of the fruit. My fitness is fairly decent, my resting heart rate is 55 which I think is quite good? However I'm currently…See More

"hey man if plain bananas are getting boring throw some pitted dates in there or some sub-acid fruit like mango, blueberry or peaches. Even just a handful in a big smoothie can totally change the flavor."

Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: I was a fit teenager, an example to others; my energy and zest for life was phenomenal. I used to relish any chance to challenge myself and really did make the most of everyday. However as I reached my twenties I completely lost track, spent a couple of years eating junk food and became a total layabout who could barely run around the block. Everything suffered, I felt lethargic, my mental clarity and natural wit were disappearing and I knew I had to change before things got worse. I decided to get fit again and looked to the bodybuilding world, I started on the high protein, high animal products diets that they promoted, complete with all the supplements to boot. The only thing that got leaner was my wallet and I was concerned about the amount of protein and animal products I was eating, I guess I knew in my heart it was wrong. I saw one of my friends switch to a vegetarian diet and his health and fitness just seemed to soar dramatically so I started thinking there might be something to it. I started doing a bit of research and stumbled across Skinny Bastard, after reading I was convinced a vegan diet was the way to go and as I was furthering my research I found Durianriders videos on YouTube. Here was a guy doing the things I want to do, running fast, cycling fast and as lean as they come. I started trawling through all of his videos and explored the principles he advocated, bought 80/10/10 by Doug Graham and found this site. So far I'm back running and cycling, making patient progress and I'm eating a whole lot more fruit than I used to! I'm not quite fully on the programme yet but I'm almost there....watch this space?

We're here to help you make our team! Let us know what HCRV assistance do you need?: Just starting out on the HCRV journey, need a place to make myself accountable and be inspired to stay focused and not to stray and give in to temptations. Hoping that 30bad will also help me to educate myself further and be able to support others in my position.
I'm pretty much meat and dairy free now and I am hitting the fruit big style during the day but I still have major cravings for fatty/salty junk food and I find it hard to get through days without feeling really tired. The daytime is usually fine but by late afternoon I am always tired and starting to have cravings. I'm trying to eat a HCRV breakfast and lunch and a McDougall style meal for dinner but I'm struggling to eat the quantities of food required...I'm hoping it is just a case of my body needing time to adjust and I try and do better each day.
