I eat my supper for breakfast and my breakfast for dinner.

Exercise

Cycling between 5 - 15km 3 times a week.

Push ups: Up to 15 reps * 3 sets = 45 every second day.

Replaced with running (started last night) (I was fucked when I got home.)

I only drink Rooibos/Green Tea and Water.

No alcohol/drugs.

No more bread.

I still have the occasional sweet treat but I limit myself, I'm aiming to drop my body fat percentage as my chest area is embarrassing, I've always worn a second skin to the beach/pool.

Welcome to the thread.

Going to try this for a snack. About 500 kJ/100g.

Unripe Lightly Salted Plantain Chips

Once cooked to a perfect crunch, they’re lightly salted and packed to seal in their exotic, moreish, savoury taste.

Have you tried before? I ate them a lot in Sierra Leone where they were bar snacks in the hotel. I loved them. Where do you get these from? Order from this site?

No, never heard of it before. Ordered from the link I posted just now. Free delivery too.

Yeah, my ninja edit never made it

15 packets seems a bit much as I’m not snacking at all these last few weeks, so I’ll wait for your feedback before making a move.

I see the green fried chips are more:



((65g bag / 100g) * 309 calories) * 4.2 calories/kJ = 844 kJ per bag, perfect evening snack.

It's just R300. I've still got lots of mushroom biltong too. But I miss a chip. I believe the green fried chips are not sweet but savory. Salted sounds great.

Drinking whiskey the last two nights (probably 1/3 of a bottle of Monkey Shoulder last night) has certainly weakened my resolve. I know tomorrow is cheat day but fuck, I could do with some beers tonight. Funnily I'm down to 100.8 today. Might add the whiskey fixed my stiff neck.

Maybe it's a sign...

Fuck it, been at this for seven weeks, today is roughly mid way, so I'll take today off as a reward (and tomorrow as well). In any case, the body needs to be reset every now and again or you start plateauing.

Just the two bottles of wine, one beer and several whiskies this weekend. Not too many snacks or cheats though so a decent week all in all I reckon.

Nice. Nearly under the magic 100.

I just went to my wives restaurant for brunchfast, and people are commenting on my weight loss today

It's weird because as the person experiencing the loss, it takes so long so you don't really notice it. Housemate also says she can see the difference.

Had a packet last night, housemate had one too. We both like it. It doesn't have much taste, slightly salty, but it's very crunch, so quite satisfying. Ordered the mexican flavour last night. Now I can have chips with my diet again, the thing I actually miss.

The salty flavour is made from green plantains whereas the mexican is made from ripe plantain which I believe is sweeter. So should be a sweet spicey taste.

Sounds good. I'll order when I'm nearer my goal. Let me know how the Mexican ones are, that's what I was planning on buying.
