-0.9
That, people, is just plain luck.
I have no idea how I did that.
Well, maybe an inkling.
You see, about 11 years ago I lost about 27kgs following a program by this French guy, Michel Montignac that he called 'Dine Out and Lose Weight'.
In a nutshell it is food combining.
I guess it must be like Atkins but more balanced - for you still eat carbs but you try to eat only good carbs and not with protein.
It means 11 years ago I was working off gylcemic index principles that became all the rage recently.
And well dudes, it works.
Clearly.
I've been doing it since Week 12 and every week since (almost) I've lost.
But I haven't been ruthless with it because this time round what I'm doing/eating has to be sustainable.
I mean, only ever eating a pasta dish with virtually no fat and no meat?
Get real.
I mean, Thai/Japanese/Chinese/other Asian cuisine without rice?
Get real.
A poached egg on its own? Without a slice of toast?
Get real.
But if I do have pasta that's rich or has a meat based sauce, I'm only eating a small bowl with a lot more salad.
If we're having Thai takeaway I'm only having a small portion of rice.
And you know what happens when I do this?
My sugar intake and my fat intake go down dramatically.
My cravings become a lot clearer (ie - it's not I need chips it's I really need something salty etc)
So there you go, that's where I'm at.
Exercise has been non-existent as it's just been in the too hard basket and I'm also conscious of when I get into the 70s that is when I need to pull out the exercise folder as the 70s is where I've resided most of my adult life and this body hates letting go of those layers.
