Weighed in at 85.2 this morning, which is the lowest I’ve been on my home scales. Which is over 7kg since Jan 3rd. Would really love to see 80kg again. Leaning out well, adjusting to lower carbs a lot better than usual. The key seems to be managing to be 90% strict, and not going wild when I do have a treat.
Generally the day’s eating is:
630am: black coffee, cheapo berocca in a pint of water.
10am: black coffee. Some nuts if I’m struggling
1am lunch: 4 sausages, canned tomatoes, mushrooms and 3 eggs (greasy spoon special). Or some kind of cooked meat from the supermarket paired with a bag of salad eaten like a packet of crisps.
8pm dinner: usually a combo of meat and green veg. With a couple squares of dark chocolate for pudding.
Will grab some cheese, nuts or pork scratchings in the evening if I’m desperate for a snack before dinner.
I’ve also been adding a smoothie in the evening if I don’t think I’ve had enough fibre - mostly frozen spinach with frozen mixed berries (they’re sufficiently low sugar/minging), and some ginger which makes a lovely brown sludge. It’s not nice to drink, but it serves a purpose.
Written down, it does seem to make sense why the weight is coming off - it’s not loads of food when you’re doing a physical job all day. Honestly feel a lot better than when I was chinning loads of sandwiches every day.
