Horrified this morning to see a gain. Too much sitting I think. Going for a walk - a five miler meeting DS outside today, I hope - Hello @shangaijimmy, feel free to join us...

It's high protein, moderate fat, low carb and calorie restricted, although the amount of restriction will vary based on your individual needs. From memory Atkins wasn't calorie restricted per se? 🤷♂️
I had forgotten whether you were a vegan or vegetarian, vegetarian much more manageable. All of the things you have mentioned are fine, fat wise it's typically butter or olive oil (I do use vegetable oil for some meals).
Another 1.6lbs off today, think that's me up to 19 or so? 👍
That weight loss is fantastic, Ed, and SL, catch back up, quick like! Enjoy the walk

Today's diet: yoghurt with oats, linseed and blackberries for breakfast; scrambled eggs with cheese and trout caviar for lunch; a protein shake for a snack and prawn mayo with salad for dinner.
A good weekend 🕺
Yesterday I made beef stew (having cooked my dried butterbeans it was rude not to include these) and I mashed the leftover chickpeas from the takeaway box of frozen I started for the veg curry, plus the usual veg, half a butternut squash and some aubergine - all left over. I had a few slivers of cheese at 4pm having fasted for the day, and some stew with cabbage about 6pm. We each had a glass of milk last night and then a few of our homegrown raspberries with a bit of cream as a treat. Yet to weigh in this morning (2 weeks today)
