Cooked pasta for the rest of the house and had salmon with green beans, okra, onions, garlic and cucumber. All from my garden.

Fwiw, my program has been working well for me and I don’t really deny myself anything. Down 15kg in 4 months and significantly stronger. Simplicitus' Fitness Journey, and you can too!

I do have to commit to the workout, but it’s easier for me to make myself do something for 1 hour a day (that isn’t that difficult and gives a high afterwards) than to, say, overly restrict food. I am aware of what I eat but don’t currently log calories (I have before and have a good sense of how many calories I’m eating).

I watch what I eat and try to eat when hungry and not overeat, but I also cheat a fair bit.

Tonight I had restaurant fish and chips and a slice of carrot cake (the cake was perhaps excessive, well, definitely excessive), yesterday I had 2 big Costco hotdogs for lunch and shrimp cocktail for dinner, the day before I had 2 In N Out double burgers (no cheese or fries, diet lemonade).

I find that if I sweat for an hour 5 days a week and eat 2000 calories every other day and 3k the rest, that I still lose 1.5 lbs/wk. Granted, I’m 6’2" and currently weigh 290 lbs and burn 1k calories per workout. I’ve never really seen dieting without exercise work long term in anyone I know.

Also, nothing is better for overall health than exercise. Best of luck!

I will be adding in more exercise when my foot heals. It’s a bit debilitating ATM, swimming is probably my only real option. Good luck to yourself also.
