Becoming Healthy Again

Is it just me or is 3.8kg weight loss in less than a week unusually fast?

Congrats dude
 
Breakfast -skipped as I slept late
Lunch - 350gr pork with 1 Avo
Dinner - two chicken breast with bacon and cheese
 
I don't get these diets. This eating plan sounds like torture.

I always just said, eating should be logical.

My usual daily menu
Breakfast - 7am
2 slices of toast, thin layer of almond butter and a drizzle of honey. Maybe a cup of Joe.

Lunch - 11:30
Chicken wrap with feta, onion, green peppers, brinjals and tzatziki and a drizzle of sweet chilli.

Snack - 14:00
One or two fruits. Maybe a kit kat if I'm feeling it.

Dinner - 19:00
2 chickens breasts and veg.
Can replace the chicken with trout or whatever sort of meat you like. Keep it varied.

Snack - 21:00
A clementine or a pear.

Sometimes I eat a little more, sometimes less but basically that's about 6000kjs per day.

The only reason I have a small belly...I go balls to the wall on weekends. Usually throw in a burger, a few beers, maybe a pizza, a bunch of chocolates etc. I binge quite bad and I struggle because I'm out of my routine. Trying to sort this out though and I will in due time.

Thanks man it is much appreciated. Obviously this is the initial weight-loss which is usually quite quick. I suspect from now on it will slow down and be more normal.

I will admit on paper your diet looks delicious :D

Strangely at the moment I am not eating when not hungry so it is not as if I am suffering from hunger the whole time. However I am trying to get into a more constant pattern that is sustainable long term.
 
This morning I awoke refreshed. Felt good. 2 hours at work...started a headache....drank grandpa....

had lunch...

atm...zero energy...too tired to get a cup of tea

meh

You need a Caffeine fix. Hit a Redbull or a Monster ;) When my dad went off the bottle, caffeine helped him A LOT!

I'm glad you know it. These diets are not sustainable. If it's some short term cleansing detox thing, sure...go for it but you need to settle into a complete mindset change.

My "diet" really does work because it makes sense. We need to eat correctly to function. Now just to minimise the intake of **** during the weekends.
 
Breakfast -skipped as I slept late (again) -will try to get up early tomorrow morning
Lunch - skipped as I was stuck in meetings whole day (have yogurt to take with tomorrow)
Dinner - 3 Chicken Drumsticks +1 Pork Chop +1 Avo
 
Having a Lino inspired Bacon & Avo salad. Good combo. :D

Do you braai every day lino or how do cook the meat?

Yeah that certainly true...people tend to get too ambition and then fall on their face. The LCHF thing tends to work a little better though on that front because...Bacon.

How was the salad? Hope it was as delicious as it sounds.
 
So it has been basically a week since I started this whole week. First week my body felt like absolute hell. Confusion, pain all over my body.

I am feeling a hell of a lot better and slowly starting to have more energy. My confusion and urge to have a drink has subsided massively. I am still aching the whole time but I imagine that will improve.

I am hardly ever hungry but when I am I could eat a horse.

Next week while I am travelling it will be difficult but I will stick to all of this.
 
Breakfast - Full Cream Plain Yogurt roughly 250 gr

Lunch - skipped

Snack - Same as breakfast (don't ask)

Dinner -

1 pork chop with avo

2 chicken breast with, mushrooms, bacon, cheese

Lucky you...I crave a drink ALL DAY long. If you offered me a beer at 9am I would drink it.

Day 8....sips lemon water
 
You should ask yourself why you became so dependent on it in the first place. :p

1. My job sucks
2. Booze just tastes so damn good.

edit:
I have a drinks cabinet filled with booze, 3 metres away from me. So it is there if I want it.
