Losing Weight

For anyone who listens to the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett, his latest one with Dr Tim Spector is well worth a listen on overall health and nutrition. In summary:

My advice would be to just give up now as you are all going to have given up by February. January is a depressing month, enjoy yourselves.

The hard stuff now to come  Why bread though? Surely carbs are part of any health diet.  Not a Pat the Baker sliced pan  I love bread but I eat way too much of it.  Proper bread is still on the table

Topped the scales at 90kg there after Christmas. Will hope to drop down to around 80kg in a coupole of months for the start of our football season. Portion sizes id say are my biggest issue. Will try and cut out the sugar in the tea as well, although it tastes like sh1te to me wiothout it. Go to the gym pretty regularly as well as football training. so fingers crossed. Going to go for the scrambled egg on toast every morning too

The figures on the left are from this morning and the ones on the right are 4/1/22. Have let things regress the last minth or so but this helps me see the results that have been obtained and to refocus me for the new year.

That's a cracking result in a year, you've aged 5 years tho 

A few years ago (2018) i dropped from 101kg to 80kg even into the late 70’s at stages. i was working doing Chinese tours at the time and between them basically starving me and then following their eating habits i ate some amount of broccoli the weight kind of just dropped off me. I’d only have a cereal for breakfast and eat tomatoes, oranges and carrots most of the day and also cut out the sugar as someone here mentioned that think it was MC Hammered. i was staying in hotels most of the time so in the evening would use the gym or go running around the local town etc. There’d be times where I’d be obsessed to the point that I’d actually only eat maybe 6 chips on a plate which isn’t good either and i also had people say to me oh you’ve lost too much weight so i basically don’t really think about it overly too much now just hover around 83kg-84kg at the moment.

Well done Ringer. That's great work. Any tips? :)

Have been eating like a hound and not exercising as much given the weather and work and other factors.
