Having embarked on my iDave adventure in July, with an initial zeal that lasted a couple of months, I’ve got down from around 14st to around 13st, and stayed there.
Briefly touched my target weight of 12.5st in September but have since got back up to around 13 stone.
Had done a fairly good job of habitually steering clear of the verboten stuff, in general terms. Have cut out milk in tea/coffee, butter, bread, have largely replaced white carbs such as spuds and rice with lentils, other root veg mash, or spinach.
However, beer and cake consumption is on an upward curve as winter sets in. I’m doing an increasing amount of backsliding in the run-up to Christmas.
Will probably reset in January and have another go at sticking to it. But having lost a stone quickly, that has stayed off, it’s worked better than any other food regime I’ve tried.
