your only 84kg? if you was 120kg or something youd notice the weight coming down quickly, the less body fat you have the harder/ longer it is to remove.

check this Dr on youtube on his weight loss vids

85ish, still no weight loss into my second week.

Skinny frame, pot belly over 40 inch wide though. The main problem is the cholesterol build up.

Made a mung bean curry today with double the beans, 1/4 the rice, extra onions and peas, eating a much smaller amount each time too.
 
Starting week 3 and for the last 3 days I haven't had any chest pain or noticeable irregular beats (no more heart feeling like its trying to jump out of the chest).

I've been having a bit more normal food, but keeping low on sugar and saturated fats.

I'm doing 'steps' several times until tired everyday right here, on top of my lifting and squats:

Realized I could use some carpet samples I had to not wear out the current carpets, which was the only thing preventing me doing it before.

Yes I use old mouse mats for rugs now.
 
I was running low on drinks and ordered a restock. Normally I get 7up free when on offer but they were full price, so after searching I found AG Barr ones for 90p, and initially ordered 18 bottles (maximum offer limit), but then realized they were regular sugar ones.

I had another search and found a bunch of fanta and coke zeros on 2 for £3 making them the same price as normal 7up so made a random selection of 20 bottles which was the limit on those.

Thats usually a 6+ month supply, and I also changed my regular Morrisons high juice to the no added sugar versions. And no more fruit juice.

I don't drink diet sodas daily fyi, just when fed up of water.
 
:(

We’ve had to make some substitutions, sorry about that.

- 1 x Morrisons Nourish Chicken Biriyani with
- 1 x Morrisons Nourish Caribbean Chicken & Rice

I wanted one of each!

Well a couple of tarts as usual when I buy, but other than that no sugar, and just a restock of fish and chips.

I'm going to start substituting my pasta and rice for wholewheat / brown rice.

I used to buy from Asda until I got some rancid vegetables on a pizza, so far nothing spoiled from Morrisons and I find their stuff tastes better too.

Is that your full grocery order? No fresh fruit or veg at all?
That might be a better place to start than replacing meals with shakes?

I actually forgot. I'd normally get a weeks worth of fresh too. Frozen veg is just as good though and I already have tinned mushrooms and frozen peas / sweetcorn / 1 each of the onions and peppers I ordered more of.

Is that a week's shop? Christ that's a lot of soft drinks. No offence, but no wonder you're at risk of diabetes and have heart problems with that intake in a week! Coke Zero is (arguably) just as bad as full-fat/sugar drinks but without the fat.

And as above, get some fresh food, veg fruit etc in your diet.

Thats like 3-6 months drink restock. I order several months apart. Its just 20 bottles max while they were on offer prices so I buy 20.

The meats go in the freezer, the drinks in the under stair cupboard.

The Morrison's healthy meals taste absolute crap, not just bland but you completely notice the lack of any flavour, salt, butter etc.

Had to add salt, pepper and lemon juice to make them barely ok.

The frigging Bulk shakes taste 100x better! Even just a jar of Sharwoods sauce with nothing extra added to it with some meat or beans as I normally have.

Not worth it at all over a £1 jar of Sharwoods and a stock of dried beans and frozen meats and veggies which I already have.

Just have to cook 1 Kg of chicken all at once with 2 jars of sauce cos it all freezes together, but it keeps in the fridge and lasts me for at least 4 days. No more pure butter masala heart attack marinades or adding sugar though.

Still have loads of sugar / flour / frozen butter to bet through though, was previously using it to make quiches and danish butter cookies most of the time hence the heart problems.

LOL.

Sorry I forgot to give an update, and the results are very curious and I don't get it at all.

I *FEEL* a LOT better now. No more chest pain, and it looks like my face and belly are smaller than they were before.

I've lost at most 2 kg. The scale is at around 83-84 kg now.

I think the problem I had was too much unhealthy fat and sugar, and not at all my weight. These shakes replace that with healthy carbs and fats.

I suppose I will gradually lose more, but this honestly feels tremendously better than rapid weight loss would which I've tried many times before, but then always reverted to bad habits.

What I need to do is simply continue substituting half of my normal food intake with 1 shake, and continuing to no longer eat sugar or saturated fats, and also and carbs I normally eat are now wholewheat pasta and brown rice and actually less than half what I did before, except for the occasional same reduced amount of white pasta and rice just to slowly finish off what I already have, but after that no more sugar or white carbs.

I need to make this not just a long term, but a permanent commitment for it to work. It looks like the heart attack risk has already diminished which was the main thing, and I don't want that coming back nor do I want to end up diabetic which my old diet wouild have done within a few more years.
 
Well I haven't had any alcohol for over a month and just dipped into my remaining bottles again:

There isn't much of it left and I'm not buying anymore, and it was around 3 years since I last had any before I felt like buying these again.

I just discovered that the orange vodka & raspberry fanta is beyond incredible. Yum yum drunk drunk for the last time time.

You can still enjoy alcohol while on a calories controlled diet just need to be a bit clever about it. Any more than one or two pints of beer/cider is out of the question. But a gin or vodka with a diet mixer will only be about 50 ish calories. The problem with getting drunk though is the possible wanting to eat a load of food before going to bed.

I have it less than once a week and after having some yesterday still want more of the fruity vodka. They do a bunch of those flavoured ones and they are unbelievably smooth and make pop taste better, but not as stupidly sweet as schnapps. Its also the same price as normal vodka, £16 a litre, and these two bottles have lasted me about 4 months. The plain Absolut was ick and cost more, I just want the fruit ones (they have raspberry and watermelon ones too, maybe another one I can't remember).

A&E have straight up refused to help me multiple times for chronic things and keep telling me off if I do go there even after getting permission from phoning 111.

OFC 'its not always how you see it on TV' - The NHS and healthcare system in the UK is absolute ****.
