I haven't been strict on this for a while now, and the stupid thing is I have been feeling crap just like before I started it. Discussing this at the show with a few members made me realize how stupid I am not getting straight back on it. Fridge now stocked with the necessaries and tomorrows a new day

Steve, I'm interested in this but never really done diets, where do I start???? What sort of foods are you eating on a daily basis?

Its really not a diet as such...you can eat as much as you want. You just have to cut out all sugar(as much as realistically possible anyway), grains, dairy.

 

So basically anything in the first 2 aisles of tescos is good, everything else avoid. Fresh veggies, meats, fruit, nuts and seeds, coconut milk instead of milk. Theres more exhaustive lists of course but thats about the jist of it.

 

Tomorrrow for work I will be taking a tupperware full of spinnach, couple of tomatoes, bit of beetroot and some smoked mackerel. Also an apple, avocado, big box of mixed nuts and seeds that I will munch on as I feel like it....bag of beef jerky in case I get hungry...and plenty of water.

[Ian C]

Right so basically no bread, processed foods or dairy. Don't do a lot of dairy anyway and love nuts and fish etc so will give it a go.

[Steve Bullman]

Thats about it mate yes. Oh, no white potatoes. Sweet potatoes are ok

I haven't given up dairy, just stayed under 100g of carbs a day. The weight fell off just the same.

[Ian C]

Is it purely about weight loss or do you have more energy ? Doing a physical job I would of thought loads of carbs and protein would be the way too go.

[Steve Bullman]

for me its all about the energy. protein and fats give you the energy...carbs just slow you down. raw eggs in my smoothy in the morning provide the fats to start with, or if i have time maybe a bit of bacon. I have way more energy on this diet

[Ian C]

Cool will give it a go Steve.
