Should this be the ultimate diet?

[bulkbiker]

I have been experiencing my third weight loss plateau over the past few months and am still a few pounds (20 or so) above my desired weight so... with all the talk of the Newcastle diet on other threads I thought I'd try this out for a week to see what results I get. An LCHF 800 calorie a day regime.

I intend to have my usual 2 mugs of tea with lactofree milk when I get up (this morning just had hot water as fasting for the insulin test)
Then a couple of coffees with double cream during the day.. one for lunch and one mid afternoon.
For dinner 3 eggs (probably poached) with 40g of grated cheddar.
I have put in a 10g of butter allowance in case I get hungry and another tea with lactofree for the evening.

This gives me a set of macros like this

Yes I am sad enough to measure the milk and cream!

So starting figures from this morning are

Weight 213.6
Body Fat 27%
Visceral Fat 13
BMI 28.9
Ketones 0.2
FBG 5.7

I'll update daily to keep me honest and welcome any thoughts..

I may change the composition of what I eat later in the week if this gets boring but thought the egg fast, Newcastle with cream diet sounded quite fun. Now I just need a jazzy acronym. any suggestions welcome. Oh yes its also zero carb (i.e. no plant).

Ooooooh I love 'Newcastle with cream'. And I do like a jazzy acronym! Hmmmmmmmm. I can't make a decent word from those initial letters.

How about the Bulkbiker Debulker?
Or the Not-so-bulky Biker Diet?

Whatever you call it (and remember, that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet) I'm reading this thread with interest. Go for it!

Crikey, @bulkbiker, you sure are a glutton for punishment or maybe resourceful and adventurous! Can't think of an ancronym just now, but will be watching progress alongside your other thread. Very best of luck with this venture

BB be interested to see how this goes. BMI of 28.9 does seem to give you some slack on hitting the low calorie week. I'm down to 21.9, 71 kg and round 1.80 m and am wondering.....

Wish you well with it.

Will be really interested to see how you get on @bulkbiker

I do very well on a calorie restricted diet rather than fasting ( morning hormones say NOPE).

As I'm sure you know I eat my satisfying avo everyday split in 1/3 with each meal and some protein with it. About 5 oz a day. Very few veggies if any these days. They're not agreeing with me. I do have some macadamia nut and pumpkin seeds throughout the day but really aren't necessary per my appetite. Rather to keep calories up.

Perhaps an avo fast and some protein would keep your calories low and provide some good wholesome nutrition?

Just a thought.

Good luck!!!!

Interesting bloods today
FBG 5.7
This afternoon between coffees 4.5
Just now 2 hours after eggs/cheese and evening tea 5.1

We could do with a few vowels for a decent acronym, methinks. Maybe we could have an E for each of the eggs?

In the academic research, studies with a jazzy acronym are much more likely to gain funding. Do you think the same thing applies to weight loss plans with jazzy acronyms leading to greater weight loss?

As an aside, when do you expect your fasting insulin result to be available (online)?

Posted the blood off today and it went first class so maybe Wednesday? I'm hoping I'll get an e-mail to let me know.. or with the results. If it hasn't arrived by Wednesday I'll give medichecks a call.

 

[bulkbiker]

Feel fine tonight.. off to bed .. sweet dreams all

Morning,

What contraption do you use to measure body and visceral fat?

Morning,

What contraption do you use to measure body and visceral fat?

I've got an Omron scale BF 508 which I bought a while ago.. it has a handle contraption that you hold out in front of you to measure the bits apart from weight. The gym I go to also has a very posh looking one and the results are pretty similar so I reckon the Omron is ok. I thought I got it quite cheap but it seems to be about £45 these days. I thought I paid about £25 may have caught a cheap offer.
