Can't post, it would be a double post! Somebody post!

I was too cocky. I can't get on track with the losing weight thing. How hard can it be to lose two pounds a week? That should be doable. Wasn't online neither and this thread keeps me accountable.

Reminds me of one of the 'fad' diets of years ago, which involved eating 10 eggs a day, somebody at work was doing it and we used to wonder why he wasn't clucking.
I'm sure we all remember those fad diets, the grapefruit diet, the cabbage soup diet, the raw food diet, did they ever work? short term maybe.

 

[Ditto]

The only diet I ever stuck to was when I was 14. I automatically did what I thought was sensible for losing weight and I lost stones! It was low carb. I just 'knew' it was the right thing to do, I think a lot of people did that then, we 'knew' that starchy stuff ie bread and potatoes would put the weight on so we just gave them up along with the obvious sugars in our tea and the chocolate, sweets and cakes which is pretty obviously really. The only other diet I did give a whirl was the almost original Weight Watchers. Not the 7 fish meals a week but the revised version that reached these shores some time later and it was 5 fish meals a week. I lost half a stone in a week but couldn't last any longer than that as I wanted to gnaw my own arm off with hunger. Even now if I have a cup of tea, very rare for me, I have to have skimmed milk, can't bear the full fat in tea, that's due to Weight Watchers. 🙂

Snack: 2 hard boiled eggs / pint water
Dinner: 3 small Bird's Eye beefburgers with a lot of Mozzarella melted on top, roast in olive oil tomatoes, large bowl of rhubarb / pint water

I didn't sleep through last night so presume it was the liquor the rhubarb was in, too sweet and sugary, need to rinse that off in future then.

That is like me Ditto! I lost a lot of weight as a youngster by eating lots of leafy greens and lettuce and grated carrot and not eating any starchy foods and a moderate amount of fatty foods - I used to have chicken and chips once a month as a treat. But I used to do loads and loads of long walks - I used to walk home from school which was four miles and go on hikes on the weekend.

I also did Weight Watchers in later life and did ok with it - I did it in the days when they had little fridge magnets and portioned out starches and fats and proteins and egg and milk and it worked well for me but then they changed it all while I was succeeding and I was so cross with them because it seemed like a blatant marketing tactic to me - suddenly all the stuff we'd bought was obsolete and they wanted to sell us a ton more of 'different' things - so I left them and never went back.

I don't think you can eat too many eggs Ditto - as long as you aren't eating so many they are making the calorie intake go too high to lose weight. I think all the guff about them being bad for cholesterol has been pretty much disproven now and they are rightly back to being seen as nutritionally valuable with a great impact for vitamins and healthy protein and minerals etc

Breakfast - streaky bacon and a fried egg and an Adonis bar with decaff coffee.

Lunch - six slices of Tesco roast turkey and some walnuts and two teaspoons of Stute strawberry jam.

Evening meal - A small steak pie and a steak bake and a piece of Camembert cheese.

The steak bake and pie had fewer than 4g carbs in total. I made the crust with a version of fathead dough and the filling with steak mince and a small amount of Bovril and Yellowtail Shiraz and a sprinkling of herbs and used a quarter teaspoon of xanthan gum to thicken.

Drinking all day water and decaff coffee and chai tea.

Those pies look delicious! 🙂

I'm not inputting due to having totally lost it. Not sure why apart from great stress but that's no excuse. I luvs how consistent and sensible you all are.

 

[rebrascora]

@Ditto
Jan, unlike you and your wonderful honesty and openness, i only post when I am sensible.... As you can see from my very infrequent posts on this thread, I am not sensible very often although to be fair I also lose track of what I had yesterday quite often too. and I low carb graze quite frequently, so I might have picked at all sorts of stuff through the day which will very easily slip my mind by the next day.
