I'm doing 2 things
This week seemed to go well, but the scales only went down 1 lb. Could be a measurement error or something else, so not going to worry about it. It’s still down.

How I did it: Quite low carb, lots of meat and good natural fats. I fasted quite a bit - not starving myself, but Intermittent Fasting, so condensing my food for the day into a 4 - 6 hour window daily. Going to keep going as it is actually a nice lifestyle change - not necessary to obsess about food all day, and when you do eat, you eat big, so you feel happy. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Read up on controlling insulin, then ate all my calories towards the end of the day and kept refined carbs down.

I was very strict in the week and ok on Saturday, but then had a very large lunch on Sunday. Friends were over and my wife’s banoffee pie kept jumping into my mouth.

Also nice to be below my “wedding weight”, which was 11 years ago. Off to New York for a week in two weeks time, so I would like to get to 178 or so by then.
Had a great week eating well and lightly, but then blew it a bit at the weekend. Started badly when I realised I had a work breakfast and work lunch on Friday, but had a light dinner to compensate. But then my wife made a very nice chocolate tart which was hard to resist. A strict day yesterday has unwound some of the weekend badness, and I lost 3 lbs over the last 8 days which is pretty surprising. Would like to get under 182 by nxet Tuesday, which was the weight I got married at (11 years ago).
