Lifestyle Change Directive

Hello All

Rumours of my death are not true, but the rumours of my weight gain are.

When I went home for Easter I was probably around 110kg. I was given, what I’ve been calling a lifestyle change directive which outlines the following;

6am - 12pm: Only eat FRUIT, yoghurt or 2 eggs with a maximum of one banana.

12pm - 6pm: Only eat SALAD (no dressing or meat) but with a small amount of grated cheese or an egg, and tin tuna (in brine or springwater) at around 4pm.

6pm – 9pm: Only eat VEGETABLES with either meat (no bigger then the palm of your hand) fish or chicken. I can have one fist sized potato a week (no butter).

9pm – 12am: FASTING

So this basically means;

NO GRAINS
NO PASTA
NO FAT
NO BREAD
NO SUGAR
NO DESSERT

The point of this is that you’re eating whole foods, staying away from carbs and fats. But you are supposedly allowed to eat an unlimited amount of fruit and veg within the allocated eating times, so you can’t eat a faux dessert of grapes as that’s a fruit that should be eaten between the 6-12 period.

How have I adapted this to my life?

Breakfast I usually cut up a bunch of fruit and take in to work and I guess I pick at it and finish it by 12. I usually have a late lunch which is salad and I add the tuna to it, I don’t like eating straight tuna from a can. I usually put lemon juice on my salad, and then I snack on carrots and celery till I get home. Dinner is usually a piece of meat/fish/chicken with vegetables. So it’s kinda doable.

But painfully boring at times.

I’ve also added my fitness report, but people have to remember that I do classes which aren’t recorded. Although now that I’ve decided to post this I may start to try harder.
