Welcome to the dark side, we have Steaks. Wink Razz

Keep us informed of progress, if you can implement some sort of portion size control along with no carbs, you should be dropping weight in no time.

........


Portion control, yes I've heard of that somewhere, rings a bell, but doesn't quite register.

Mind you it's only week two & tomorrow marks the start of week three.

Since day one there's been no: bread, pasta, rice, no legumes (OMG) no fruit (OMG) except for berries

No processed foods: the mantra is eat produce not product as well as eat above ground not below ground

No potatoes, no take-aways

Lots of salads, too much spag bog (grass fed beef) the same as I always made it with diced zucchini, small grated carrrot (not meant to have that), onion, garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, basil and parsley, salt and peppper, using coconut oil.

Lots of cauliflower rice, fish including tinned tuna, lots of egg and lots of avacado

I made a slow cooked Dr Mahahtir beef curry (recalcitrant and racist) sorry Malaysian curry : loads of spices, grass fed diced beef, coconut cream and spinach.

Lots of water, was eating cheese but backing off that. Learning to slowly get off dairy due to lactose (sugar).

Brazil & Macadamia nuts 4 a day. ? 8 almonds a day

The Doc reckons 3 weeks for the body to adjust and 3 months to lose weight.

Still need to manage the concept of portions. Apparently the desire to eat that is, feeling hungry will go as the body learns to burn fat not carbs for energy

I miss toast in the mornings .

Just got delivery of a Crock Pot.
Finally used my Flybuys points for something useful.

It comes with recipes but I will be doing some testing over the next few weeks to see what works best for us and is easy for the red headed chick & 21 year old to prepare - they are both finished school/uni this week so will be tasked with doing dinner at least once a week.

Cracked out the crock pot yesterday, with a difference.

Kids and sharknado coming over for dinner so looking to feed 7 1/2 people while knowing I had to help the daughter move furniture into her new flat.

So I did a roast leg of lamb in the oven, only takes 2 hours to cook, and rather than all the messing with beges I did a vegetable medley in the crockpot.

Halved baby spuds,
Carrot
Pumpkin
Zucchini
quartered onions


Put em in the crock pot with 1 cup of chicken stock, some sprigs of fresh rosemary and a decent squirt of honey, told the old girl if I wasn't back by 2pm, plug it in and turn it on high. 3 1/2 hours.

Bloody beautiful

You on a serious diet or something?

I made up a brown rice salad yesterday, with celery, radish, avocado, bit of chilli, tine of 4 bean mix, grated carrot and some baby spinach. Thai salad dressing over it.

Eating that along with a garden salad and different meats for the next few days for lunch and dinner.

Tonight having rissoles, tomorrow night I'll cook the butterflied lamb leg in the air fryer.

Definitely trying to drop some kg's mate.

I was 92kg when running hard a couple of years ago. I eat well during the day. Been starting with 4 or 5 poached eggs, bit of bacon and beans at 0500, then grazing on various salads, chicken or tuna and fruit through the day... don't need dinner, just 4 or 5 beers Wink

Changes dramatically when I get home though.

Get up at 0330 for a 6k jog every 2nd day so far this swing. Very slow, but you gotta start somewhere. Carrying the extra baggage makes it bloody tough.

Bought a steamer from a shopping channel Sunday unbeknowns to me and it arrived yesterday. Coat me about 70 bucks. The thing is ginormous. The pot for the water and 3 layers including plastic dividers. But wait ther is more, They gave us a massive frypan, a set of kitchen utensils, 4 bowls,m 4 asian soup spoons, and 5 serving tins that fit together,

So steamed chilli fish and steamed veggies will be done as I try to lower my cholesterol. Every now and then will break out and get hold of some Marathon dimmies from the Boxing Roo bar to watch the footy.

Boom.s village grows a lot of corn so next visit we will grab a few cobs. Getting a xmas pudding so might try it out on that.

No mate. Here they are C O D. They ring the next day and say will be there in 15 minutes. Pay on the spot.

Tonight had a fish steamed with ginger, steamed corn on the cob and cauliflower with a bit of lemon. And a crusty roll with butter.

For a first time it was pretty damn good.
