Harr you are a machine man, well done for keeping it up. I have to disagree with the slowly but surely comment, i think the weight has come off quite quickly. I took almost ten months to lose 3+stone, Im sure that was your loss in the first week:D

I dont know the scientific reason behind it but i do feel men lose a lot easier than women. Men naturally have lower body fat maybe its nature letting the fat slip off easier to revert to this? God I dont know. But seriously, you are a very tough yardstick for that girl to measure herself against as i feel your loss has been exceptionally fast

harr do you exercise much 20-30mins after eating carbs?
I make a point of trying not to eat any carbs unless i plan to go for a 30 min+ walk otherwise its meat and veg,unless i break my own rules lol
Great job sofar by the way.You seem to be getting the hang of a healthy diet.
Would be nice if everyone ate healthy out of habit!
Another thought if your only eating 3 meals a day wont your metabolism slow down a little to adjust? as appose to 6 small healthy snacks of protein and fibre a day?

i eat as little carbs as i can possible can,i have cut out white bread,pasta and rice its all brown now if i do eat any.At the start i was having 5 or 6 small meals a day but my appetite just shrank so i was no where near hungry enough for all the grub i was eating it would be better for me to 5 or 6 meals a day but i am just not able to.i try to go for my walks in the mornings if i can maybe an hour or so after a large bowl of porridge and i find that i have loads of energy for it.
as for eating healthy out of habit i still think i am way off doing that,i still have to stop and think when to comes to my grub.At the moment i dont eat anymore than 1500 kcal a day sun-Friday and try to burn 300 kcal or so.on Saturdays i will go a bit higher just to have something to look forward to at the end of the week.:)

Torakx

That sounds good.1500 a day isnt alot especially if you go do some walking too.
I think the diary here is a great idea.We will all be watching to make sure you stick to it

SNACK: Banana= 150 kcal

is coffee a good or bad idea when watching your diet? i only started to drink it last week.i only have 2 cups of strong coffee a day one around 11.30 and another around 15.30 i have it with a drop of skimmed milk and no sugar.

Torakx

I think its ok if you dont drink it every day and without milk.The milk keeps it in your system, but without, it passes through alot faster and is easier on the stomach.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dandelion_coffee this is ussually advised as a replacement in health food shops(or at least i see as ok for a candida recovery diet).Not sure exactly how healthy it is but probably alot better than coffee and it supposedly tastes the same.The wiki says its a good tonic for your liver.If we gain alot of body fat i hear the liver is effected quite alot too.
Im more of a tea person but have cut it down to ussually one cup a day.
Might try this dandelion coffee myself soon though.Tea with milk is probably just as bad if not worse.

metamorphosis

Having 2 coffees every day is perfectly grand. Having an intake like that has been shown to have some health benefits.

EDIT: having it with or without a drop of milk won't make a difference either. Don't worry - no point sweating about the little things. Unless you are sensitive to coffee and believe me you will know if you are) there is no reason to not have a little on a daily basis.
