Firstly well done. Secondly, do you enjoy what you're eating or does that not matter any more! Do you allow yourself treats? A pudding once in a while or a pizza etc.

On the plus side, it makes meal planning much easier.

Choice:

 

EAT TO LIVE.....or.....LIVE TO EAT

[RockCoach]

That part is FECKING difficult.

Tell me about it. The only saving grace is that it's too sore to get up often.

Manne manne manne

If you don't put in the effort, you won't see the results.

I'm down 1.6, fairly happy with that

Nice. I WAS down 2.2, but the weekend reduced that to 1.5.

[partydave]

Might just be stomach contents.

 

Rule #1 of weight loss, poop before you weigh

Ja, I was also down 2.5kg by Friday but then the weekend came...

I pooped. LOL. Wasn't a big one, and I can still feel it. Mainly thanks to the increased refined carb intake over the weekend. 

 

SUCKS. But now, I'm even more convinced of the path that I was taking before the weekend/.

Doing something wrong

 

Must be the 7's yesterday. Will try harder and train more...

Best move any of you okes can make is to go see a dietician. And not the kind that makes you eat grass and seeds, cause you get those. One that will keep you on "real world" foods.

 

Went to see one a few years ago, and still following those guidelines.

 

The basic plan I'm following...

 

Breakfast:

 

3 "Breads": Could be 3 slices of bread, 3 rusks (30g is one bread), full cup of muesli, 2 cups of rice crispies, etc etc etc. Massive list to choose from to mix it up a bit.

1 Milk: 1 cup of low fat milk, or 1 cup of low fat/fat free yoghurt (most is "sweetened", so try to avoid those)

2x Fruits : 1 Banana or 2 oranges or 2 apples, etc. You get the idea.

 

Mid morning:

 

2x breads (as above)

2x meats (30g of meat is "1" meat). Peanut butter also counts as meat, or 20g of cheese is also 1 meet. Quite a lekker meal is 2 slices of bread, 20g of grated cheese over each with the Chili Aromat sprinkles over the top, melted in the microwave.

2x Fruits (as above)

 

Lunch:

 

4x breads (as above)

4x meats (as above)

2x fruits (as above)

 

Mid afternoon:

 

1x milk e.g. cup of yoghurt

2x fruits (12 grapes counts as 1 fruit), so a cup of yoghurt with a stack of grapes in is quite lekker.

 

Supper:

2x breads

6x meats (chicken, fish, red meat, whatever)

 

If you had a hardish training day, treat yourself to a Milo or something before bed time (Milo is VERY high on sugar, so I try to rather have some tea with honey).

 

If you add those up, I'm getting in 11 slices of "bread" a day, and 360g of meat. And about what, 8 fruits? Plenty food.

 

And you loose weight because you are having the right kinds of food, at the right time of the day, in the right quantities and combinations.

 

At least once every two weeks I'll finish an entire large pizza, slab of chocolate, or whatever I want. If you crave something, have it, get it out of your system and then get back on track.

All of that bread!

That wouldnt even come close to working for me.

The one thing I managed to take away from my time with LCHF was that any grain products are bad for me and weight gain.

I eat pretty much what I want now but avoid grains and Im still 20kg's lighter than I was when I started all of it.

That is a SHEDLOAD of carbs. Staying very, very far away from that, thanks. 

 

And the sugar in your honey-sweetened tea is no better than the sugar in the Milo. Stop kidding yourself. 

 

EDIT: Also, low fat / fat free!? What is this, 2005?

You must be a breadwinner .

Try and keep up.

 

Out of 30g of Milo, 9.3 grams is pure sugar, that's nearly a third. And then some people add a bit of sugar on top of that.

 

"One teaspoon of granulated sugar equals 4 grams of sugar. To put it another way, 16 grams of sugar in a product is equal to about 4 teaspoons of granulated sugar.Jan 28, 2009"

 

Honey is sweeter than sugar, so you end up using less. I put no more than 1 teaspoon of honey in my tea.

 

"Although, honey does have more calories, many people use less of it because it's sweeter. Because they use less, they often end up consuming less calories too."

 

So no, Myles, 1 teaspoon of honey is much better than the mountain of sugar in Milo.

 

Yeah, 1.89m @ 76kg. Low-fat/Fat free is so 2005.

 

Clearly you know better, seeing whatever you are doing appears to be working wonderfully.
