Keeping fit losing weight

[Archev]

No particular diet as such, just reducing calories to 500 - 600.

Here's the University of Sydney's take on it.
The Healthy 5:2 Diet

At about 1.8m and 75kg my BMI is fairly good apparently. I loosely adhere to that 5 - 2 diet by default. I love my food but some days laziness creeps in and I snack. That snacking has to be on veggies, fruit and nuts etc as that’ll be all that’s in the house as I manage quite successfully to bypass the cakes and sweets and don’t like the taste of alcohol.
So I was getting on fine until I read the lunch recommendation was crab How anyone can eat crustaceans is beyond me
No other animal is spreadeagled on your plate ready for you to pull apart and smash up and ………


Sorry - I’m OK. Pass the haggis over please.

During covid and being on furlough for about 5 months, coupled with glorious sunshine I ate and drank while sunbathing in the garden.
After 2 months I'd gained about a stone and half .
So went on the keto diet and within 3 months I lost 3 stone and felt great, returned to work and it took another 3 months to lose half a stone.
In 5 years since I've put on a stone and half so not bad, but I'm doing keto again to trim back.
I had a beach body but couldn't go on a beach holiday at the time

And no exercise, probably should have.

Just remembered the 1 ltr milk for coffee a day, that's 660 calories on it's own .... I doubt I'd live long enough to actually see any weight loss if I cut the coffee out, the wife would do me in by lunch time on the first day

2 coffees a day and no beer, I mightn't live longer, but will sure feel like it's taking a long time to die .....

Coffee’s just gotta be black to taste right - and none of your sugar and stuff - just black!
