Bulletproof coffee, water and a feast...

So today I'm back at work, get up at 5:30am, get ready and have a bulletproof coffee before work. The creamy taste is unusually nice. 
Off to work at 6:30.
I have a berroca multivitamin when I get to work at 8am with a glass of water.
A small cup of coffee and I'm good until the evening.....
I get home around 7pm, reheat some beef casserole from the night before. 3 bowlfuls of vegetables, beef chunks and spices.
I'm full and don't need anything more to eat. But have a nagging want for something sugary. I'm going to drink a litre of water before bed to help wash the toxins out.
Feeling good and a lot less tired than before!

Weigh in....week 2

So today I've weighed myself using the same machine.

It's been 5 days since I started.

My thoughts on the first five days. 

I feel great, no chocolate, Coke or sweets. I don't feel like I've lost much weight but feel less bloated. Like my skin has stopped swelling. 

I use the machine at the leisure centre as this gives me my weight and also body fat % and mass. 

My weight didn't change. 
24.7 stone.

However my body fat has dropped by 2.1%. This is 3.1kg of body fat. 

My initial thoughts were, is the machine wrong?

However my understanding is that on a  better diet with higher protein your body developed more muscle. Muscle weighs more fat. So is it possible I've lost fat and gained muscle??

Last minute change in plans....

Due to go out for dinner.... But it's cancelled!

Nothing defrosted and feeling seriously hungry!

So mince out of the freezer. Cooked with onions, peppers and carrots. Add some spices and herbs from the cupboard.

Throw some eggs in a pan for scrambled eggs. 

Weirdly this tasted amazing! Scrambled eggs just seem to improve everything. And they are healthy.....


New approach!

I don't feel like I'm losing weight, I feel better in myself but think I'm consuming too many fruits and other items. So today!

1 bulletproof coffee in the morning
1 egg and bacon salad for lunch
1 steak and vegetables for dinner.

This should give me what I need throughout the day. 

I also have two apples to snack on after my meals.

Let's see how this goes???

Paprika Belly Pork with cauliflower, broccoli and red cabbage

Best meal ever!
I put the pork in the roasting tray, fat side up. A small amount of coconut oil and some paprika, salt and pepper. Roasted on high for 20 mins then turned down. When I turned it down I added a half chopped red onion.

Par boil the veggies so they have a bite still. 

Then serve! The Pork was fantastic. The flavour with paprika just melted in your mouth.

The fresh veg was nice and tasty. I loved every mouthful! 

Will definitely do this again!!

I've just failed!!!!

5 single packs of Kettle chips and I'm failed for the day!

Lesson learnt!

DO NOT BUY MULTIPACKS!


Day without fruit juices....

So today I decided to stop drinking the fruit juices that I previously been downing everyday.

Feeling really low on energy, even after my butter coffee and bacon/egg salad. 

I think after a couple of days of no fruit juice I will feel better.

Lots of water, clean food. 

Looking forward to my pork and vegetables later. Hopefully this will help me get through.
