I have been trying to get back into healthy eating for a while now, I tried all kind of plans the only one that worked well with me in the past and I managed to maintain a weight within the lower end of my healthy weight range according to the BMI, this was when I followed a caveman diet, mainly meat and fat.
During my travel I lost a couple of Kilos because I was moving all day long, I also had one big meal at breakfast and that included Japanese type miso soup (no rice) and a Malaysian curry (no rice just the chicken in coconut curry sauce). I was full the rest of the day, so didn’t bother with food, had some drinks though, like natural coconut water drink (out of a coconut shell, they sell those on the streets) and sometimes soya milk with gelatin in it (heh, these are popular drinks in the far east, gelatin has a lot of health benefits I hear) Anyway, I was also moving and walking all day long.
Since I got back I have been trying to do the same thing, have my big breakfast, so I prepare a big meaty breakfast the night before (or just dump chicken/joint in the slow cooker overnight) and try not to have anything major the rest of the day, I really do feel a lot more energised having a big breakfast. My only problem now is that I am sitting at a desk all day, so I think I gained back some of the weight I lost. I try to go to the gym, but its not enough, I must do more, like running etc. I also made the mistake of buying some mennah& salwa desert, and haven’t been able to resist them now and again. But really I must put them away or give them to someone else.
I really want to start again to be healthy, I need a lot of motivation… should I make dua’ so that Allah helps me to be determined lol, this is what helped me in the past believe it or not.
I personally don’t believe in calories too much, I think if one eats the right food they should equalise their weight to a healthy range, not over weight and not underweight.
Sounds awesome !!!! I realized when I lost alot of weight I had a stable social life I was out of the house all of the time that changed , I realized I'm moving out for uni so does this mean I should cut out all of the alcohol :( I need to partayyyy and bullshit !
