    Typical daily intake although no two days are the same; I.e I eat a lot of duffernt meats and if doing endurance exercise under 4 hrs I won't have a breakfast.

    Breakfast
    Greek yoghurt
    2/3 eggs fried in butter/coconut fat
    Nice bacon
    coffee with generous cream

    Lunch
    salad, rocket, tomatoes, various nuts, cheese, peppers, lots of olive oil

    Dinner
    Lamb/beef/fish salad

    Fruit with greek yoghurt

    a little 85% or 90% cocoa chocolate some evenings.

    Have never carried weight or counted calories (nor do I know how) but in 6 months have lost 1.5" from my waist but have maintained exact same weight.

    Feel great though!

    Im not a huge breakfast person but standard would be 2 boiled/scrambled eggs or maybe a mixed linseed and oatmeal pancake. Lunch is everything from beans to salad and dinner is normal family dinner but I don't eat pasta but would eat smaller portions of rice. My twist on it is I have a cheat day on sat so might have oatmeal for breakfast and take it from there, more fruit, bagels and whatever else I want to eat. I normally try to do a gym session or run on the cheat day to generally speed up the system a bit. One every quarter I have a cheat week so last would have been xmas week. It works well as ultimately every week I get to eat whatever I might want. I don't think going low carb exclusively can work over years

    yep its amazing how good even a bowl of porridge tastes with unlimited dry fruit or bananas and the like :) and there is logic in the madness, it stops your body adjusting to the low carb too much
