Yeah, I do miss it. I used to like some jam on toast in the morning, or maybe some cheese on toast for a snack. As I think about it, I guess I could buy a loaf and keep it in the freezer, having a little treat from time to time...
For me, I'm not sure there's much between the two... In fact, it has happened before that I've wanted to keep eating, but simply can't...
I've been curious about these. What do you use and how do you use it? Is it like the Sapiens thing? (Wow, they're about £1,500 a year! And I thought my Whoop was expensive!
)
You understand, we're looking at a graph of my weight over the year, I went to Girona in June... for the second time (and going back next November!) so I know it reasonably well.
Hmm, with how much I ate yesterday, it's not started well.
Clearly you're in quite a different position to most of us, so I am literally asking a question, rather than commenting on your approach. Do you know how many calories this is? Are you saying this is your approach to losing weight?
The way I look at it, it always comes down to energy in, energy out. There are various different ways of controlling this, eg fasting for periods of time, or for certain days, but it generally comes down to energy in, energy out. I don't think there's a magic way around that. I get that protein will fill people up, which helps them eat less cals (= energy in against energy out). If one big meal helps you not eat again, I guess that's one way! Whatever helps you beat that energy in, energy out formula.
I'd be very interested in any scientific reasoning of this. As far as I can see, and logically, it's the only thing that really counts. I can pretty much know for sure, if I start eating 3,500 cals of meat every day, I'll put weight on pretty quickly.
It sounds like there are other health benefits for you, so sounds like a win/win in your case.
Sorry, I don't like any diet/plan that restricts what I can eat.
The way I see it, not weighing yourself doesn't mean you don't weight what you way... if you know what I mean? Better to know, than not?
I think it depends on your circumstances. I've had a Huel for at least one meal a day for about 5 years now and I like them. I live alone, so a shake for a meal suits me and it is easily monitored for the number of calories consumed. Times like today and yesterday, when I've been cycling for 3 or 4 hours, a liquid lunch is quite nice. Hopefully it helps keep me hydrated too.
I did the same, after posting my end-of-year earlier in the thread, I was pleased that I did the opposite of you and I had lost a kg! 15st 5 on 1/1/24. I then also realised, that's probably the lightest I've been on 1st Jan for about 25-30 years...
Yeah, that's very tough. If I cycle 100km, I burn about 3k cals and then I can hit a deficit of around 1.5 to 2k, but that would be tough to maintain day after day.
