I've done everything from OMAD to Keto. They all work and results are fast but the second you return to a normal diet you will pile on weight.

For best results make small changes weekly that you can maintain longterm.

Fair play to you cutting down to 6 days drinking a week. LOL

The keto is unreal for energy levels but didn't think it was sustainable. Planning and preparing meals took far too much time as well. Can definitely see the benefits of a high (good) fats diet.
l hear you are a racist now, father ?

Cheers ha.
I balloon when I take the foot off the pedal.  Also for me it's definitely a case off one positive thing feeds the other pr one negative things feeds the other, I.e. when I'm going to the gym regularly then I get into it and watch the diet better, whereas when I'm not in a rhythm with exercise then i also get my bad sh*t into me with the mindset of "ah ill work it off when I get back into it".

For me now it's worked twice. Pre and post Christmas, with no exercise really. Off sugar and ultra processed food where possible. Not totally mind. There's a book I mentioned before called ultra processed people and it's very, very good. Audiobook for me as I spend a lot of time in the car. 

I double up with intermittent fasting too which is easy for me as I don't have breakfast anyways. So I will go 16-20 hours without eating.

Lunch everyday for me is porridge, loaded with flax seed, raisins, cinnamon and left overnight. Really filling and nice. Then dinner in the evening when I go home and that's me done. 

Main thing for me is I'm not ravenous as I will get narky. No point doing something unsustainable/ Lesson for me is to cop the f**k on over Christmas!


I like snacking.  Have to have something with a cup of tea be it a small fun size finger of Twix or a biscuit or a bit of cheese with brown bread.  

My diet to me seems reasonable.

Breakfast:  bran flakes followed by 2 boiled eggs and maybe one silce of brown bread.

Mid morning:  Tea and biscuit

Lunch: Sandwich e.g. chicken (no mayo or salad etc)

Dinner:  Whatever followed by tea and a little chocolate or small treat 

Evening:  Tea with a biscuit or cheese small portion.  Just a mouthful.

Before bed:  Bowl bran flakes.


Life would be miserable if I had no chocolate. Not worth giving it up.  Like it doesnt seem too bad to me what I'm eating.  Its not like I'm pigging out on dominis pizza and coke most nights.  Would only rarely have a takeaway. 

This is suspiciously similar to what Foden1981 has for his dinner I’m led to believe

By the way I'm happy to work out TDEE's for people if they want and are curious.

Basically doing what lads on Instagram or online coaches will do for you, for free.

Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is an TDEE, I see by looking on google it’s kind of like a calorie deficit calculator but if you were to do one up for me what would it entail?

TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure.

It's basically the number of calories you burn in a day (or the total energy you use in a day). 

The number I give will be somewhat accurate but for true accuracy you would want to test it out over a 1-2 week period. 

Once we know your TDEE, we can use this information to create a calorie deficit to help you lose weight, to know what you can eat and not gain or lose weight, or to gain weight if you wanted to put on size.

To do it I'd need weight, height, rough age (within 5 years will be fine), job (as in desk job or something on your feet), activity level. 

PM if you want. Typically the more info the better.
