A Fatboy Slims Blog

I’m going to start putting recipes up and gradually make them better over time.

This is a really simple way to get a couple of eggs into your diet in the morning, good for building muscle etc. This omelet has the following nutritional values:

Serving Size:  190g
Energy: 273.5 calories
Total Fat: 19.3g (Sat fat: 5.2g)
Protein: 18.3g

Ingredients:
2 eggs
Half an onion (diced)

Instructions: Beat the eggs in a bowl. Chuck in the diced onion. Put in microwave for 2.5 minutes on high. Pow! A quick omelet. It wasn’t too bad taste wise - but had the consistency of a hat. I think a few spices could be used and maybe a splash of low fat milk.

Well I’m back on this mission with a vengeance. I’m going to use this to track my progress and see what works for me and what doesn’t.

I’ve decided it has to be a combination of fitness and diet and a whole change of lifestyle. Here goes!

Just a quick post to say that its all going well, I’ve been eating again and Ive dropped a few pounds a week. Ive been eating loads of Tuna and cottage cheese! It all seems to be working well though.

Well this is what I went for on my first calorie counting trip to Tescos.

• Tuna Steaks
• Salmon Fillets
• Burgen Bread
• 2 bottles white wine
• 2 bottles Bulmers
• 1 whole mackerel
• 8 tins of tuna in spring water
• Loads of water
• Tuna with Vegetables (says this is new on the tin)
• Spinach, rocket, watercress
• Organic potatoes
• Organic bananas
• Garlic
• Chilli

I have NO IDEA why I bought the mackerel - I’ve never had it and it doesn’t look particularly appetising. I think it was a knee jerk reaction to to the fishmongers question of “is that all?”. Theres a couple of slip ups in there suh as the alcohol but as I figured I’m in it for the long haul I can do that. Bonus!

Apologies for not posting for a while. I have been deciding what to do about the Lighter Life diet. And I’ve decided I dont like it! To be honest, it’s no fun whatsoever and I really missed the preparation of food and eating of food and having to act like a social outcast.

So I’ve bought myself a copy of Mens Health and have decided to join the gym this week. This is how I’ve stayed trim in the past - I just think I went a bit wayward.

To be fair to Lighterlife it really does work for some people, but just not for me. I have a keen interest in nutrition anyway and exercise and working out but I’ve just become extremely lazy. I’m also under the impression that it might be a bit extreme and I want to just change my whole lifestyle but I still want to enjoy it.

Basically the whole thing was just too boring for me. Here goes the hard way! Wish me luck.

Well I’ve lost 6.5 pounds in my first week. I’m neither pleased nor displeased! I’m going to up my running to try and get a bit more off I think. The posts for tonight and last night have been lame. I promise to write something decent and worthwhile every day next week.

The other bloke in my lighterlife group has lost 21 pounds in his first 10 days. Thats phenomenal.

Right I’ve had the right hump today. I’ve been hungry and gagging for a beer. I’m worried that if my weigh in tomorrow goes badly I’m going to be demotivated. I’m not going to right anything more tonight and see how it goes tomorrow.

I started running again today as I feel so good. It felt amazing. Although it was only for 10 minutes I felt lighter on my feet than I had for ages. Maybe its this “feel good” factor of going into ketosis (did I mention that yesterday? - I pee’d on a stick and it went pink - this means im in ketosis).

Well I’m well chuffed with that as the main reason I am doing this is so that I can do the things that I love and have neglected.

Anyway thats it for tonight, I’m that pleased with myself I’m rewarding myself with a short post.

Well a bit annoyed actually. I’ve kept to the diet strictly but I drank 12 pints of water again. I got weighed and I’ve only lost 2.5pounds in the first four days. The counseller said this is probably down to the amount of water I drank and was still carrying. This means that I’ve got to go this Thursday for another weigh in.

There was only 2 of us men that stayed for the session, the other guy that was there has lost 17 pounds in his first week which is pretty amazing. He’s got more to lose than me and has an active job whereas I sit on me bum all day. I think I’m going to start running again.

So I only lost 2.5 pounds in the first 4 days but I feel like a different person. I had lost 2inches from my chest and 1 from my hips and waist. That part was pretty impressive.

The session itself after was also pretty good and its good to start recognising some of the reasons why we over eat and drink. I think they could be very worthwhile indeed.

I’m just hoping I drop more weight for my next weigh in on Thursday otherwise its a bit demotivating. I’m definitely not drinking more than 6 pints tomorrow.

Well today I felt fantastic. Only 3 days in and I’m jumping out of bed earlier at the weekend without being dragged out by my girlfriend. I think its the amount of water I’m drinking and the amount of beer I’m not drinking. My skin looks better and I’ve lost the bloated look on my face.

I’ve not had a weekend day feel this long for ages. It feels so long that this morning feels like yesterday.

Today was a breeze and starting to feel less hungry. I think I might be overdoing it on the water. I think I had about 12pints today and your only supposed to have 3 litres. Bloody metric versus imperial!

Ooh yeah, I just did a quick conversion in google and thats nearly 7 litres. Better chill out on the waters tomorrow.
