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
