After a huge amount of indiscipline over the last few months (which tbh has just seen me mostly maintaining my weight at about 75kg so that’s not too bad) have found a bit of extra focus by doing some strength training. Chucked the chin up bar up on the door to the spare room, throwing in a few daily reps of pull ups and whatever you call it when you effectively do a sit up whilst doing a pull up. Seems to make a difference to my mentality when I’m opening the fridge and considering my options.
Also decided to finally take some advice from this thread and up the protein intake during the day, dropping some carbs and replacing with eggs.
Mostly I’m looking to lose weight in the week and take a relaxed approach at the weekends, so reckon the next few kg of loss will be slow, but aiming to go quick has not worked out so going to try a different approach.
On protein - have been making shakes using protein powder from the organic whey company, which is actually surprisingly tasty but unsustainably expensive. Any recommendations for a decent but cheaper powder?
