Good stuff there. I'm assuming portion size also had a bit to do with it, but that's a great result.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Cheers mate. Portion is sort of in the mix. Haven't quite grasped that concept yet. As I texted by daughter the other day "I just don't know that 400gm porterhouse was the size of my palm" :shock:

Cheers TP, the diet (burning fat rather than carbs for energy basically) means I'm feeling much less humgy than I used to .

I do eat a lot of eggs though & tinned tuna.

Apart from the weight loss, how are all the other indicators going? You getting your bloods tested for cholesterol, blood sugars etc?

Bang on 100kg and 191 cm.

I've basically gone up 1 size in pants and shirts in 25 years although the roof over the playground has increased and needs work.

Yep. When I first met my Mums GP I'm a believer: hes shown me the science, my rheumatologist told me about it 2 years ago (Banting High Fat Low Carb)

Bloods every 3 months with my new GP.

The link I sent Skids (see above) re Medical Practitoners of this diet use blood testing as a measure.

Saw the GP yesterday. Blood results are fantastic. Body just starting to learn to more efficently burn fat for energy. 11 kgs down in about 11-12 weeks. Much les hungry than I was I must say. Hot weather helps.
