Given how much you know and research about nutrition, you still seem struggle to reach your targets.
I could offer suggestions but I feel they might come across as criticism.
The bottom line is put less in your mouth for the greater the weight loss.
I'm well aware of that, thanks. I'm also aware of all the other real-world factors at play and am not prepared, or able to completely forsake my enjoyment of food in chasing weight loss. I know a miserable, unrewarding diet is unsustainable, counter-productive and will inevitably only result in rebound binging on crap.
For the time being my diet is delicious and sustainable - plenty of salad, veg, berries, nuts, yoghurt, cheese, lean chicken and fish; with the sausages, occasional bun-less burgers and scratchings being the only questionable bits.. The weight continues to slowly fall; if at a lesser rate than I'd ideally like.
I'm probably as lean, fit and healthy as I've ever been and still creeping in the right direction. For now this is enough, realistically as much as I could ask for and a world away from having spent most of my life fat, sedentary and existing on carb-heavy junk with zero nutritional value.
do they still make Sugar puffs ? Id assumed theyd been sent to cereal heaven for daring to have too much sugar in them like Ricicles.
I do think sausages count as protein though, in fact I think most meats do or at least to modern cooking notions that like to distil everything down to protein, carbs and fat.
It appears not and I think you're right - seems like the Honey Monster's been forced to rebrand to "
Honey Monster Puffs" and make his wares less diabetes-y.. to varying levels of outrage expressed through the medium of supermarket product reviews it would seem
Thanks and yes re the Sausages - while they're are hardly a gold standard protein source and full of all manner of other crap, they work pretty well with my myriad dietary requirements and of course keep me going out of my way to the city centre every morning
Thankfully a fairly unremarkable one this morning. Overcast but pleasant when I left; meaning I inevitably forgot my sunglasses without the immediate reminder of their requirement.
Nice quiet roads into the city; had a somewhat irritating Mexican standoff with a woman turning into the park and ride - while I appreciate the sentiment of stopping to let me cross she was the only car, had priority and I'd already slowed to nothing so we'd both have gotten to where we were going faster had she just followed the status quo..
A pretty fast run, joining a large throng of other cyclists at the lights. Upon changing we all set off at differing rates; my defaulting to the far RHS as usual and slowly overtaking everyone else - being given a good run by a couple of ladies on unassuming bikes. Pantani'd it up the hill to the market for more poor sausage choices - only scoring two this morning to find them utterly exquisite upon arriving at the office.
Made good time so considered nipping home to get my sunglasses, however slowed by the horrible diversion on the tow path that takes you over a rough, chalky track and worse rubber matting on grass which feels like riding on flats.. so I diverted over Donny bridge for a slightly shorter route to work; arriving conspicuously early for once
