Hi all,
After recently suffering from an atrial fibrillation event, nature has finally got to me. I need to change. I want to be healthy, and be happy.
My body stats:
I am FAT. I do not look fat, the clothes I wear hide my fat very well and make me look smart. I look average, but the moment my shirt comes off there's a massive belly and bum.
I am 30kg-ish over my ideal weight. That's about 5 stone!
My activity
My activity levels are very low. I am a delivery driver so in and out of the van, which I jog to and back from customer's doors. Other than that it is limited.
My diet that I have planned:
I am to follow the Newcastle Diet, but with a twist. I want to go low carb, and low calorie. I create my own homemade soups, these are vegetable based (non starch) but with chicken or lamb stock. I can't do vegetable soup on it's own, I can't bare the taste.
Snacks:
I will snack on things like Radishes, cucumber without the skin, tomatoes. Is there anything else I can have? Any guides?
Progress
The first few days I failed, in the first night, I felt serious hunger. I could not last, so I had a biscuit. On the second day, I had a single slice of Tuna sandwich, left over by another family member.
Today is my official start date
I am drinking about 3.5 litres of water per day, and 2-3 teas a day.
I am to lose my weight and reach around 62 -64kg at the end.
Exercise:
At the moment I am doing no exercise. But I am starting 30 min walks everyday.
Can I make any changes or am I doing it right?
I know I will become diabetic fully if I do not intervene now.
