Sirloin steak marinated in Korean BBQ then pan fried and sliced.

Chargrilled broccoli
Mango
Avocado
Red onion
Brown Rice

Maybe some shredded carrot and sliced radishes, possibly an egg...it's a new recipe, I've googled a few options and am kind of making it up tbh!

Hi everyone.
Thanks for checking in @Decidedlydex. I’m really enjoying it so far. Have decided to weigh myself daily and have, since starting on Monday, lost 8 pounds! Am totally over the moon. Only 5.5 stone left to go. Grin

I really love the food. It’s delicious! And I did not believe I’d find it filling but I do. Not sure if this makes any difference but I also do the 16:8 (or is it 8:16?) fasting.

Exercising was going great until I managed to really hurt my calves. Can hardly walk without wincing!!

Online recipes are just so delicious. I’m glad it’s all there on my phone too. Super easy to use!

@MintyCedric are you weighing in on Monday? Are you doing the online programme too?

I’m off to make my dinner. Vegetable lasagne.

@buckeejit I believe in the book there is advice about the best protein/carb/fat macro splits, but to be honest I haven't worried to much about it at that detailed level yet. If at some point my weight loss slows or stalls I will probably have a look though.

@MintyCedric sounds really good!

@lozengeoflove that's brilliant! Well done! I'm so glad you're enjoying the online programme, but sorry to hear about your calves. It's always so annoying when you get injured!

I'm weighing in tomorrow. Feeling a bit nervous as it hasn't been my best week, but hopefully it won't be too bad!

Nah...I'm winging it! But yes, Monday weigh in...not feeling overly optimistic tbh as I know I could have done better.

Long walk tomorrow morning though, and will think what to have for dinner for maximum damage limitation. Tonight's chicken satay salad was a bit meh.

Thanks Dex!

Found the cowboy beans recipe and will give it a go. Also trying rye bread for the first time tomorrow!

The cauliflower mash has so far been the recipe I’ve loved the most and I think it’ll stay with me for life Grin

TakeMeToKernow · 30/01/2021 23:23

And looking forward to the weigh in update Dex!

Decidedlydex · 31/01/2021 11:47

@TakeMeToKernow Cauliflower mash is a good idea, might give that a go. I've been having white bean mash which I really like.

I lost 2 pounds, which I'm pretty happy with at this point. I miss the big losses of the first couple of weeks, but onwards and downwards is OK by me, will get there eventually!

I've just made the beetroot brownies with the children. They don't have sugar or any substitute in so are not very sweet but they seem to like them. I also changed the flour for coconut flour as trying to keep clear from wheat as much as possible.
