I've just finished wk1 of the Commando Diet (Google it).
Lost 9.5lbs!!! I'm back down (near enough) to where I was after finishing up the Newcastle Diet last year.
Another week to go - then I'm gonna start slowly introducing some fat into the diet. The Commando Diet is low-carb AND low-fat. Not something I've done for a long time.
Basically you can eat:
Steak
Eggs
Lamb
Tomatoes
Spinach
Cottage Cheese
Salad
Grapefruit
Dry Toast
More importantly, it's got me out of the habit of snacking. And INTO the habit of eating breakfast (just an egg a day).
It's one of the more strict diets I've done, with NO selection - every meal is set, for a duration of 14 days.
You know me - I'll try anything once. :thumbup:
Believe it or not, my favourite meal on this diet has been a scrambled egg sandwich (3 eggs) made with dry brown toast. I left the eggs a little runny, and it was bloody delicious! You can only have this for one meal a week,though. I've found that the egg sandwich DOES significantly spike my BG, though... :thumbdown:
