I would be interesting to measure your blood sugar and cholesterol at a pharmacy and then to measure it again in a few weeks' time to see how it changes in response to this healthy new diet.

It would be interesting actually.

Yup, me as well.

Day 8! One week behind me now, and so are about 4 Kgs. :wtf:

Excellent. 1 week is a good place to be.

Especially when 4 Kgs have just vanished somewhere. It's great.

If your appetite has shrunk, the key is not over-indulging once it's back to normal. You'll then put on double!

That's what happens in the first week to a daily drinker. I'm expecting around 3 based on previous diets. It will settle to 1-2 a week now, which is still great.

Actually, I'm hungry all the time now, because I am eating less, but it's a healthy feeling hunger if that makes sense?

Totally.

You actually look forward to the next meal and enjoy it more in my experience.

Absolutely. Previously, I was literally just eating for the transitory pleasure of munching something. Like, I'd make a snakwich, and make two instead of one, simply because it was a pleasure to eat. :erm:

Well feeling full for the entire night certainly isn't a lekker feeling.

I hate running. So. Incredibly. Boring.

Lol, I hate gym, its so static.

What are you eating though? Just salad or also chicken and fish?

I am eating anything I want, that doesn't contain wheat or sugar, which immediately eliminates like 3/4 of what I used to eat.

Weekends are tricky, need to keep busy ...

I'm also low-carbing to lose weight. Had great success in the 2002-3 doing this, lost 20kg... but then I fell off the wagon when I moved back to SA, into a house with kids, since there were always chips and chocolates and coke and all that other crap lying around and I am weak

Started at 112kg in October last year. I am now 104kg. Goal weight is 85.

BMI is a load of bull. According to the BMI scale, I need to weigh around 70kg (I'm 1.76kg). Last body test I had done, my lean mass was 73kg...

Remember, protein is an appetite suppressant. If you get the urge to nibble - biltong.

I agree BMI isn't the best but it does give a rough guide. It says I need to be 80-85 but I'm happy with 90. At 80 I'd look unhealthy.

Dude, you better eat, or you're gonna wither away into nothing.
