Well, let’s face it, that’s not really possible – not unless there’s something seriously wrong that needs investigating, and if claims are to be believed, not by people of my age. I’m in that demographic where everyone preaches losing weight is hard (well, yes it is, if you’re a lazy bum like me)
If you’ve been here for a while you know that I lost tons of weight during pandemic, then gained 3/4 of it back, and tried losing it since but my arse has been too lazy to do ACTUALLY do anything about it.
In the last 3 weeks however, I have lost weight – a whole 2kgs in fact – without trying, so much so that it’s got me worried. There’s no extra exercise going on in this household, and yet
I say it’s been without trying, but if you recall a little while I decided to give up sugar. Well, that didn’t happen – not to a chocoholic like me. In recent months I’ve suffered some tummy troubles and in the last month or so I’ve been tweaking my diet/food intake in order to ascertain whether my problem is an allergy of some kind.
Well in the process of all of that I have given up coffee – don’t ask me how, I’m still not even sure; and I keep forgetting to buy biscuits and bread. I have also stopped adding butter to my cooking, increased the use of my airfryer (and reduce oil usage along the way); swapped rice for bulgur wheat, and started making funny ice-cream.
Why funny ice-cream you ask me – well because the recipe goes likes this: half a pack of frozen (red like forest fruit etc) fruit, half a banana, half a tin of black beans (yes you read that right), couple medjiol dates, some oat milk. Blend, freeze, ninja creamy it. I mean it’s basically a meal in an of itself, and without the sugars, salts, creams and carbs.
So providing my tummy isn’t in some serious trouble (and that is currently under medical investigation), I’ve lost weight because through almost no effort at all and some tweaks, I’ve altered my diet to a healthier version.
Which is why I went out for lunch today with a friend, treated myself to a stake and fries and half a bottle of wine.
Bye bye
