No weight, hear me out. I like SSBBWs but as a man myself, I want to lose some weight. There's an old stereotype of a skinny man with a big woman that has always been around.
I weighed 105.5kg and my height is 5'9". I want to get down to 80Kg. Maybe even 75Kg. The BMI calculator says I should be 56Kg which is impossible and probably unrealistic.
Perhaps I'll do a monthly update on this thread. I want to also want to be toned and muscular, so I have some weights to do at home. I managed to get down to 90Kg but lockdown happened and I put it all back on.
I weighed myself this morning and I weighed 102.5kg. Which is great as I have started a low carb high protein diet 2 weeks ago.
What is the plan? Well I now look at the info on food.
Aim for
Nutrient levels
Saturated fat per 100ml or gm below 1.5g
Sugar below 5g
Salt below 0.3g
So the main thing I look at is sugar, and go for for every 100g of product the sugar content needs to below 5g or close to it. It is shocking how much sugat is added to supermarket food these days. Cereals and cereal bars are the worst, even if they claim to be healthy. Some cereals have 30g to 40g of sugar per 100g. Thats 30-40% of raw sugar you are shovelling into you mouth!
When you start looking at products you'll find not many things are low in sugar, even the sk called healthy bars. But, I have found sliced ham, honey roasted sliced ham, sliced chicked is very low in sugar and high in protein. So for breakfast and lunch I will have some sort of meat (vegans will need to have a look for an alternative), and a apple or some cuts of cheese. Largely I am cutting out bread, which is high in carbs and sugar. I may have a white coffee or black coffee now, instead of a Lattee or Capacinno. I have always had diet drinks such as diet coca cola or pepsi max, which have now or low sugar. But I will try to drink more water instead.
I will try to keep active by doing a little walk each morning before work, aiming to do 600 to 1500 steps. I arrive early before work, and do a little circuit. On my days off I will go for a bike ride, and in the evenings do some weights. Each day I will take vitamin supplements and Omega 3 oil. I take at least 75mcg vitamin D, extra vitamin C and zinc. I have not caught covid and like most people in the UK now, stopped wearing a mask.
The main cut outs-
Potato chips 100%
Bread (at least reduce by 80%)
Pasta (at least reduce by 80%)
Ice cream
Sweets
Chocolate
Any other dead calories and high glycaemic foods.
