Yeah I know thanks. The big boss also said he is going to be handing a lot more cup cakes .
it’s only a few hundred calories but it is a bad habit.
I have the evening party of a wedding to attend tomorrow too. I may skip it yet.
missed it got the day wrong .
I believe I will still lose weight by tomorrow . I think i was light as I have been this morning.
Monday 9 September

nearly at the half a kilo mark.
shredded weight cereal. I was in rush today. I had to drop the wife off to work.
Gym went terribly.

bought sushi but dropped it on floor
500g of cherries about 250 cal. obviously a far wack of sugar though.
yoghurt 50g protein
chicken, lentils and buckwheat bought health meal from supermarket.
chicken still defrosting.
I’m going to start eating more fish and cutting down on the meat slightly. Obese people are more at risk with high meat diets. Leaner people tolerate meat better.
skinny burgers 5% fat with small amount of cheese
I think I would be tempted to pick the sushi up and eat it anyway, but of course I don’t know the condition of the floor in question, lol.

I bought the wife a meal .
all meds and supplements taken including ginger shot and creatine.
Of all the choices to make, this is the silliest. If your goal is improved health, cut down on eating out of vending machines, chocolate, cupcake, supplement store protein milkshakes, and the bread. If you ARE looking for meat to cut out, ditch the sausages. I would reduce the cheeses too.
I watched this YouTube video this morning and I think it applies here 100%. I would start it at 5:00.
I’ve been silently following along in this thread, and honestly have not been giving much, if any, advice on any thread on these forums for a while now. While this isn’t true advice, it may put into perspective some things. Hopefully it can get you thinking @decimation
Thanks it was very good.
I just want to key in on this some more. I know I’ve become “the carnivore zealot”, but consider this: IF we take this premise to be true, wouldn’t a BETTER solution be to become unobese vs to limit the meat? Obese people are at ALL sorts of risks: meat would be just one of MANY pitfalls. Meanwhile, you can USE meat as a means to become not obese, to the point that you BECOME one of those leaner people that tolerate meat better.
Here are many stories of those that overcome/are overcoming MASSIVE obesity by relying on meat
And I’m not saying this to say that this is the ONLY way, or even the BEST way to lose fat. But consider this: what these people WEREN’T eating most likely had just as much to contribute toward their success as what they WERE eating. If you ONLY eat meat, you DON’T eat a bunch of processed, high sugar, hyper palatable junk. If you simply took THAT one step, irrespective of the meat, you’d be in a VERY good place.
Thanks Punisher I get that argument. But I can maintain a high protein while limiting the meat a bit. I eat a great deal of meat, so upping the fish and whey protein which I have been neglecting is not necessarily such a bad thing. I have bought buckwheat, oatmeal and quinoa too. They are all associated with limiting diabetes.
I definitely should cut the rubbish out including the sausages. Sausages were one of my favourite food. I will limit bread . I may consider just not buying any. Cheese will be limited too.
You’re focusing on macros here: I’m talking about UNPROCESSED food. This has been a downfall through out this: you’ll consume some processed product because it says “high protein” on the label.
One of the greatest cons of the nutrition industry is they trained us to read macros and not ingredients. Don’t fall for that.

What happened here?
Just using up what is there.
Ever consider using it up by feeding some animals, or making a sandwich for the homeless?
I just get confused, because yesterday you said “I will”, and today it didn’t happen.
Perhaps I simply don’t understand your priorities.
To be fair I did say limit. I wasn’t convinced with the cheese. But I am starting to be persuaded as it easy to eat too much of it.
I am getting some results though I have lost an inch off my neck and a further inch off my waist.
I just haven’t cut any weight.
I got a portable blender for work from a large supermarket Aldi.
So I can take a protein shake I. for work.
The last one spilled all over the car
Picked up a nice older book Power snacks from a charity/ thrift shop . Over 100 million copies sold.
Best of luck then. I feel I am, most likely, not on the same wavelength here.
