The Banting/LCHF Thread

[SlinkyMike]

Would a Jameson be ok while banting? I won't be chasing it.

...just remember that alcohol will stall fat burning (it won't kick you out of ketosis) for a period of time depending on how much you consume. Your liver needs to process the booze before it can get back to its other jobs.

Wife is trying to buy me a shirt for my 20th Re-union on Friday. We're still not sure about sizes but she bought home a Woolies 44 and was way too big, so going to find a 42.

T-shirts were 5XL+ , now L
Formal shirts same
Jeans, 44, new formal pants are 43. ( old was 60+ )

Awesome man! Keep it up and be proud!

We did some clothing reconciliation recently and sponsored all our old clothing (5 refuse bags worth) to charity.
Was amazed to see the change.

I went from XXL/XL shirts to slim fit Large and in some cuts medium. Pants 42 to 32 and 30 in some brands.
Wife went from medium to Xsmall shirts. And size 12 to size 6 and 8 in pants.

Another dramatic size down! Personally I enjoy the wins that don't take place on the scale, that's the stuff that your SO and others are noticing and let's not be coy, it feels good man.

I am really enjoying the 85% lindt dark chocolate. It is really good and it tastes sweet!

I couldn't help myself, I had a slice of woolies chocolate cake over the weekend. It tasted lovely but I'm back on the LCHF diet.
Will be having mince curry with pumpkin, bacon and mozzarella tonight.

Dropped another 1.2kg - Yay, finally broke a 3.5 week weight stall. I did measure my belly and it was going down smoothly.

So lost 11.2 KG in exactly 3 months. Was 95kg on March 6th now 83.8kg on June 6th

I love the progress - well done.

I am starting a lady friend on this diet as well. She is currently 100kg. Will post her progress.

BTW - diet worked wonders for me - I used to weigh 137kg, now I am 89kg and I feel awesome - been helping some of my friends with their weight loss goals - with varying degrees of success - some people are not committed, of cos!
