Weight Loss Thread 2014

Have been training for over a month now for my next grading....now just over a month left... first of my four hour gradings :wtf:

This is going to be a tough one... not looking forward to that 30 min cardio and 80 push ups, 80 sit ups 80 squats 80 burpies right at the end :sick:
 
ugh another bad weekend for me.... and yes my weekend ended on tuesday. *shakes head*
 
I seriously need some more food(s) to eat.

I eat three scrambled eggs fried in coconut oil every morning, sometimes bacon or kaasworsies too.
Lunch at work is an issue, generally I just take a "protein portion" of whatever meal they have.

Dinner I generally braai or sift through the wife's food and discard any high carb items.

My issue is that I'm getting most of my fat from Coconut Oil, and if this is going to become a lifestyle, I need to find other "snacks" and easy food to help when I'm hungry..

Other than avo's, which fruits and veggies do you guys eat raw?
Anything else to keep in the fridge as a snack or meal topper?

How about some nuts or olives or biltong?

Avo's, nuts (I like almonds and cashews), olive oil with a salad + protein portion for lunch. I try to have fat with every meal (I eat 5 a day) except for the 1 snack.

Fish contains good fats too, so try and up your fish intake. No starch for dinner etc. Lunch at work isn't too difficult, especially if you have a wifey that can make you something the night before (a quick easy chicken salad + sandwhich with roast beef takes me about 10min to prepare)

I haven't started training or anything, my goal for the first 6 months is to get my diet in ship shape order. I've, since late December, lost 1kg a week consistently by just eating right.

Myfitnesspal is a great little app for your smartphone where you can keep a food diary and also check your daily intake ratio between fat/protein and carbs including a nice overview of the entire week to see if you're keeping within those goals.

I come in just below or above my calorie goal for the day and can induldge in a home made pizza now and then without going over my daily calorie intake.

Something like a Spur schnitzel meal contains (more or less) your ENTIRE DAY's calories. Insane.

I sleep better, I focus better, I'm less irritated, I turn to food less to cope with stress, my eczema is basically gone, my cholesterol and blood sugar is better than ever and I feel awesome. Just by changing my diet.

Can't wait to reach the 6 month goal and start training more consistently

Try and avoid cheese for your "good fat" intake. You could use feta, or specific cream cheeses, but that falls more under the protein portion and not the fat portion.

So been a month and it looks like i am down about 3.5kg for the month, a far cry from the 8kg I lost the first time round. Month 2, lets get it started :)

That's a great result. Just shy of 1kg per week is a perfect healthy weightloss
