I will lose 7kg/15lb in a month by means of no alcohol, no sugary snacks or drinks, no fries, very few complex carbs and a slight reduction in portion size and overall volume of food
Wifey has given me a macronutrient balanced approach to meals which I will use as a guide, if not to exact amounts.
Will keep exercising in the normal way, which is heavyish weights 4-5 times a week, but intend to walk up and down the 5 flights of stairs to my office a few times a day and also do a 15-20 min walk each lunchtime. Also have a **** load of work to do in my yard over the weekends
Week 1 results
Dropped 3kg (6.6lbs) to 89.3/196.5 which is great, albeit I'd say half of that is 'easy' weight caused by less water etc that always strips when you first drop sugar and carb intake
Basically ate eggs on toast for breakfast after the gym and then meat with vegetables for lunch and dinner. Had 1/2 cup of rice a few times and had an Isagenix protein shake in the evening most days. One cheat meal on Saturday night but that was basically a few pieces of good bread and some home fries with my chicken.
Trained pretty hard at the gym 6 days, drank no alcohol and got through some physical work in my yard yesterday as well as had a few decent bodysurfs
Came into this thinking I needed to lose 15lbs to get my 6 pack back but actually think I still need to drop 15lbs
Side benefits - definitely sleeping better, was more patient with my wife/kids and I was more organised to get house chores done on the weekend
