To ask what you think of this typical food intake?

Op have you tried to kid yourself that as you have one meal a day then being fat isn’t due to what you consume and your family have been trying to tell you otherwise?

even your one meal is massive, it’s like three to four meals in one, I genuinely don’t know how you don’t feel sick, 500 g of diced beef is 4 portions.youshould he eating a quarter of that. And 5 chicken thighs or legs, half a chicken, it’s just really huge quantities, the fact you do it in one sitting doesn’t make it one meal, it’s 3 to 4 times a healthy portion size. Then all the cheese and nuts on top.

you must feel like shit.

I know literally everyone has already said this but wow, that’s nearly half a kilo of cheese a day. That’s quite mind boggling.

Atkins worked because when they measured it people were eating far fewer calories after the first few days

this isn’t Atkins-

Aldi does have that cheese...
British Mature White Cheddar Cheese
0.9 KG (£5.54/1 KG)

Atkins doesn’t defy biology, it’s still cals in. The op is consuming vast quantities.

Eating double the amount of calories required - which the OP is doing, easily - is not remotely healthy, regardless of whether it's 'keto' or not.

It is not healthy to eat 2,400 calories in nuts and cheese every day, on top of a high calorie meal, unless you have an extremely physical job or are a pro athlete. And the OP has said she is a 5'2", sedentary middle-aged woman.

The OP has so far refused to tell us her weight or BMI, and I suspect there's a reason she won't tell us.

Why are you eating near on half a kilo of cheese a day? You must be shitting bricks.

there is not enough water fruit or veg or carbs really. It’s not balanced

I’m guessing seriously obese.

Well, truth be told I would fucking love to eat like that. Cheese all day. Yes sir.

That’s a shocking amount for someone to consume and I’d assume anyone who does is significantly obese.

why do you not eat properly? Why jisy one meal a day then gorging on highly calorific foods?

Oh apologies, half a pack, still a lot though.

Bloody hell, I’ve just checked the size of the cheese 900g, that’s a whole pack of cheese, every day?!

Just as an aside I don’t get eating cheese by itself, always with crackers, Ryvita or with cheddar digestive biscuit. Otherwise it just seems wrong!tk eat it by itself, even if with nuts.

My first thought was you're on the keto diet. I ate similarly on keto and lost 20kg! But obviously nowhere near that amount of cheese!

Was your elimination diet low fodmap? If not it might be worth looking up. I have a lot of food intolerances but there are some very low fodmap foods i can tolerate that are healthy, chicken, spinach, carrots, eggs etc. which would lower your fat intake

This op. No wonder you’re not hungry for another meal (or you can’t “tolerate” another meal. 450g of cheese would make me feel sick. And I love cheese, and I'm Most certainly not an inveterate under eater either.

Mild cheddar from the Aldi essentials range is just about as sad as it gets. It tastes of plastic.

@ivyball I've recently joined Slimming World so, for the first four weeks, I have to write out everything I eat on a special form and hand it in to my SW consultant to check that I'm following the SW guidelines correctly. I do it after every meal/snack because it's very easy to forget what I've eaten if I leave it until the end of the day

I'm just wondering why you've documented all the food you've eaten for the past 8 days as it's quite an unusual thing to do?

😂😂😂

OP, you mention driving to the office. Are you getting up in the morning and frying 500g of beef to eat at 7.30am? I am equally as baffled by that as the cheese thing. It’s a very strange diet. Do you ever go out to eat, or eat at other people's houses? You say your family are being ridiculous about it, what is it that they say?

I think you mean moreish . Unless you are referring to cheese made by an old Muslim civilisation in North Africa and Spain.

I really would love to know your BMI, I'm guessing you are a healthy weight, it sounds like a high protein diet similar to the keto diet. A low carb diet is healthy in my opinion. Your diet sounds delicious!

Honestly, I think the way you eat sounds far more like someone with an eating disorder than someone with food intolerances.

I thought people were going to tell me I ate really healthy meals or that I should eat more because one meal a day isn’t enough.

But you aren't only eating 'one meal a day'. You're eating several. You're just spreading them out instead of sitting down to eat them.

You are eating ALMOST HALF A KILO OF CHEESE every day. Just because you're not sitting down and eating it with a knife and fork at set times, that doesn't mean it's not 'a meal'. In fact, it has enough calories for three meals. Your 100g portions of nuts are also as many calories as one meal. And your actual dinner, of four eggs and two pork chops or a 500g packet of mince, is twice as much as most people would have.

You're not eating one meal a day at all. You're eating around six meals a day.

If you genuinely thought this was a low intake or a healthy diet, I think you need some serious intervention and education about food, because I'm amazed that anyone with eyes or ears could possibly have the impression that this is a) a low calorie intake or b) healthy.

Look, I've had long periods of eating TERRIBLY and eating way too much sugar, fat, snacks, you name it. But I at least KNEW I was eating badly.

All weight loss diets create a calorie deficit. Unless there's something else medically going on for the OP who says she is not active, weight loss is not what a pound of cheese and a load of nuts daily will give her.

Moorish.

I think you might have jumped the shark there.
