Weight loss: Hairy Bikers lose SEVEN stone between them and THIS is how they did it [bestandroiddoubledinheadunit950.blogspot.com]

Dave Myers, 59, and Si King, 50, felt compelled to overhaul their unhealthy eating after a doctor friend of theirs reprimanded them for the lifestyles.

Their friend said to them: “Look lads, you are middle-aged and morbidly obese. You need to do something about it.”

Dave continued: “I was something like 40 per cent fat, my blood sugar was borderline for Type 2 diabetes and my cholesterol and blood pressure were way too high.

“For me it was incremental. I probably put on a stone a decade which I think a lot of people do.”

Both men made changes to their diet and exercise routines, which led to weight loss of around 3.5 stone each.

Si said: “It’s never too late to do something about it, you just need very small incremental steps, such as walking 500 yards more every day.

“It’s not rocket science, it’s not about massive changes. With lots of small changes you develop momentum, you can see the difference.”

So what did the duo do to lose the weight? Si spoke to goodtoknow.co.uk to revealed the tricks they employed to get into shape.

Use spices

Si said: “There are very few calories in spice. If you’re clever with herbs and spices you can make fantastic dishes which have less calories.”

Don’t completely remove carbs

Si said: “You can have carbohydrates as long as you’re careful because your body needs it – carbs just shouldn’t be the biggest portion on your plate.

“It’s not rocket science, it’s just making sure that the food you eat is comforting, nutritious and is held back on the salts and sugars a bit.”

Recognise when you are full

Si said: “Recognise when you’re not hungry. I know it’s a really simple application but it has to be said. Just go: ‘Right, before I put this in my mouth, am I hungry?’ and ask yourself it really honestly. And if you go ‘no’, then walk away.

“After you’ve eaten, wait ten minutes because it gives your body time to go: ‘Mmm I’ve actually had enough’, which was a big thing for me (when losing weight).”

Calorie count

Si said: “That’s how Dave and I lost weight, we counted calories, simple as that.”

Make small changes

Si said: “I don’t have butter on my toast anymore, and I know that Dave doesn’t either, it’s mad isn’t it? I just have Marmite and I really like it.”

Sweet treats are allowed – with some tweaks

Si said: “My top tip to make cakes healthier is to use honey and carrots because they’re both sweet.

“Use some skimmed milk, some ripe bananas, some good eggs and spices and you’ve got yourself the base for a great cake.

“Also, you can make fatless sponges, sponges by their very nature have no fat in them when made with egg whites.”
