It’s fair to say that low carb has worked very very well for me.
I’ve not really posted much here in the last couple of months, but was here a lot during my first month and found everyone’s help and encouragement pivotal.
I have lost 2 stone in 3 months which I didn’t think possible.
However, for the last 2 months I have been doing a lot of strength training, and I fit in to the old clothes I had kept back from my youth. So I have probably lost more than 2 stone in fat.
I am enjoying life way more now.
I have even been able to earn more money at work. Because I sleep so much better and I have more energy, I am earning 3 hours overtime every day by coming in early, and working through my lunch hour. That has really helpped us out.
I now understand what people mean by having mental clarity.
I have more time for the kids and can now actually follow what my 5 year old is talking about when he waffles on for THE LONGEST SENTENCE EVER about a youtube video he has been watching.
I have found my temper gets away with me a little more than it used to. Maybe the me talk clarity, is also making my mind work faster, or making working out a lot has risen my testosterone. My wife is very snappy at the best of times, and I have been snapping back quite a bit recently and regreting it after.
One thing that has been wonderful, is that I am no longer pushing crappy food on my kids when we go out. I used to insist we fins somewhere ‘propper’ to eat because I needed to eat a ‘propper’ meal. Now, if we are out in town, I am happy to grab a pack of ham or turkey. It saves so much time and money.
Lasty… sorry… just one last thing I was to boast about. Last weekend I got all my old clothes down from the loft. I was a 40inch waist in June, bit I can now fit into my old 34inch waist trousers.
