I am not a big fan on starvation, excessive exercising and making weight loss the centre of your life. In fact I am a huge fan of eating healthy and exercising with pleasure for health rather than weight loss. I know from the past experiences that it is achievable to eat and lose weight. But this time I had a sense that this was not enough. I couldn't stay in control and I need to do something drastic. And I did.

Braised beef and mashed potatoes 

Chicken and egg salad


I stopped eating all of the foods that I'd normally crave at once and started from eating regular, low-carb, low-calorie meals and going to the gym every day or almost every day. My gym sessions where structured. I learnt in the past that certain exercises were better for stomach fat than others and I tried to implement these in my routine.

Overall, I was very good over those 10 days.

I'd go to the gym and burn at first 300kcal, after a few days this increased to 400kcal per session. My workout always consisted of treadmill and cross trainer, recently also bicycle and a bit of weights (hip abductor). I was very tired after every work out and my legs felt as if they were made of wood. And this is how those 10 days went - work-gym, gym-work. I would often even forget that I was meant to have a meal - I was too busy.

Chicken and avocado salad


This did take it's toll. I slept till 1pm on Saturday, something unthinkable to me. I was constantly tired to the point where I wouldn't really want to move. But this is just a small chunk of what needs to be done.

Greek salad

My diet over those 10 days consisted of salads, fruit and eggs. I'd eat as little as possible without feeling hungry. I always had a lot of leafy vegetables and some meat to keep it healthy but full of protein. But during those days I also ate crabsticks, soup, popcorn and custard so my diet was quite varied but still very simple.
