while I occasionally miss carbs (still baking sourdough for the family to eat) I don’t crave them as I did before but did a little cheat at the weekend because of a big training day on Sunday and my god are they like rocket fuel!
Now nearly 15.5kg down since January, and got about 3.5 weeks to go before I want/need to take a break to start training properly for London Marathon, will increase carbs a bit but try to stick to healthier options!
I’ve been looking at what I’m eating a bit more recently too, trying to increase protein intake, which is a relatively expensive habit as I’m doing it with real food rather than shakes but worth it I think! Up to about 1500 calories per day now and just over 150g of protein.
Also finding it interesting in my tracker to see what my base metabolic rate is by logging exercise calories burnt and consumed and checking vs actual weight loss, at the moment it looks like I’m around 2000 calories per day, which is higher than I thought it would be based on previous attempts at weight loss/stasis, but I guess maybe some of the other things I’m doing like exercise snacks, only eating between 7 and 6 are helping along the way there.
