Portion control, yes I've heard of that somewhere, rings a bell, but doesn't quite register.stui magpie wrote:^
Welcome to the dark side, we have Steaks.
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.

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 .
