@Hooroo tbh that doesn't seem like a lot of kai so I reckon you are tracking well. Only thing that could be missing from your shake is some protein? maybe add in a bit of yoghurt or something? I think there is still agreement that you feel fuller if you have carbs/fat/protein, rather than just one of those (even if it's all veges or good stuff).
Even though I am having feta I want to avoid artificial stuff in the short term like powders etc. The stocks I make for soup are from scratch and I like trying to eat like that which is the total opposite of the dross I have eaten for the past year. (Two weeks ago, for lunch, at work I had KFC twice, fish and chips once and pizza once all in the same week..... FAT BASTARD!!!)

Wow! When I started this thread I was 118.3kg.
I have had a prick of a 2018. Work was just too full on and I did next to no exercise for the year apart from the very odd game of golf and ate and drank what I pleased.
I weighed in Saturday at 131.9kg!!!!
I have watched my mate lose 10 kg over three months with the ole "nothing white" diet. Essentially a no bread, spuds, rice, pasta/noodles diet and it is really noticeable on him. But he kept having booze. I am cutting the booze out for the beginning.
2 days in and I'm not crying yet. (and feeling remarkably fresh due to the number of veges and fruit I have had)
I'm too fat to run at the moment so was going to re-join the gym this week but true-love has suggested I do "Gym@FarmWork.com" for a week and then join as there is quite a few high energy small jobs that need to be done around the place.
Anyway, let's see how I go.
The intermittent fasting has helped me during periods I may have gotten a tiny bit tubby, I'm mates with you on FB and I know you're a bit of a foodie so perhaps that is worth a go ? it does mean you can't eat til about 12 but during an 8-9 hour period you can go pretty nuts ( well within reason ) and enjoy a feed while losing weight.

Cheers. That may be phase two. I don't want to go to a drastic change like that in case I don't have the mental fortitude and give up. The past few days of doing what I am doing hasn't been too taxing mentally

It can be tough essentially waiting til 12ish for your first feed but I find black coffee is my best mate during those periods ( also good to ensure good morning bowel movements )
For me personally heaps easier to cope during the week provided I keep busy with work ( and the fern during the quiet periods haha )

Edit: I'm a spring keto-er so I'm all over the low carb high fat
Salt and chilli chicken cauliflower rice is my fave.... I make this whilst my husband waits for his chinese take out and I am never jealous at all...
It changes everytime I make it but basically..
Wok action-Brown chicken in buttttttterrr when almost cooked, add some finely diced onion, minced garlic and sliced chilli's, duno what sort I'm growing they are red and hot if that helps... throw in Cauliflower (blitzed/grated) get it all combined. Sometimes soy sauce.
Dry mix is, salt, pinch of Chinese 5 spice, NO SUGAR OR SWEETENERS.
I've added the dry mix at various stages and it's always the same to me.Quick and easy cauliflower. God I love cauliflower. Creamed cauliflower is a good one too....

As good a thread as any to enquire......
Recently got both my boys into Sushi, one has always loved it, second has finally gotten on the bandwagon which makes treat day with Dad easier taking them both to one place instead of constant fights as to where we are going.
The St Pierres jingle would have you believe that Sushi is healthy but is it ? Lots of carby rice and it's held together by some sugary type substance.
I can easily demolish two sushis of the day no probs but am dubious as to how good it actually is for you. Freshly made is always extremely tasty though.

That sounds fantastic. The cauliflower goes in the wok raw and just lightly sautéed??
Do you use breast or thigh meat?
-
@Hooroo breast as its convenient for a quick meal. And yes sautée!! Sometimes it all sweats a bit - sorry can't think of a more cheffy word but thats where the magic happens.
My fave go-to low carb hacks are iceburg lettuce as wraps or burger buns and Courgetti. Never bother with fake pizza bases as not a huge pizza fan anyway. -
@MN5 ah stop!!! God I love sushi, don't come around here talking about sushi! You're right though it's the devil for low carbers and so high in sugar!!

I don't think I genuinely loved sushi til my mid 30's but by crikey its so good especially topped in loads of wasabi.
St Pierres promote it as being healthy though which as I suspected isn't entirely accurate.
-
@MN5 yes wasabi keep talking...

Oldest boy ( 10 ) got youngest ( 8 ) with the classic "wasabi tastes like sweet ice cream" trick.....hilarious....

@Hooroo portion control is my kryptonite..... I figure cauliflower will feature big time in my cooking this winter
If you hit a jackpot recipe that you constantly go to with Cauliflower, can you please share it?
Tom Kerridge is an English 2 star Michelin chef. Was huge, now he's not. This is his book, which I have but haven't tried recipes yet. Sounds pretty tasty though

@MN5 that's just cruel. I can't have sushi without it... Alas at the moment I just can't have sushi...
@Hooroo almonds are a good snack as well, help curb cravings during the day. In keto world they have a good amount of fibre lowering the net carbs too and great fats!
Only issue with Almonds is the fact as blokes we need an absolute shitload of them to feel even close to full......but unfortunately a packet of chippies ( my one HUGE vice ) does the trick much more effectively.

@MN5 ah a handful does me just fine. When you cut all the beige crap out your body will adapt pretty quick and not want it.

Chippies ( or Crisps in your language ) and booze are my only real vices. I'm pretty good with everything else.
-
@MN5 yes, winter time me would have salt and vinegar pringles over chocolate any day, not bothered about alcohol as much so that's easy to cut out until summer.
You need to stop mentioning naughty food on this thread it's not helping anyone... -
I'm more than happy with a handful... hold on... what are we talking about again?
Hooroo thread hijack over lol

And once you open the pack you can't stop until it's done right? Chips, twisties, rashuns, cheezels, if I buy them and put them in the house they eventually go down
