I don’t have so much to document for this week because I away in Redang from Wednesday – Saturday, Saturday night I had a wedding dinner and Sunday we went a bit mad after being stuck on the island for a while.

Monday

Dinner was a really delicious Thai style chicken and pumpkin curry – I’d been wanting to try this for a while and it worked really well. It’s proper comfort food, I sat in front of the TV watching Sons of Anarchy and munched this down.

Chicken & Pumpkin Curry

Tuesday

Lunch was something different! A lovely buffalo meat patty and scrambled eggs!

Buffalo Burger

Dinner was tomato prawns, first time getting home-cooked prawns 😀

Prawns in Tomato

Yes that may look like rice, but it is in fact grated cauliflower! Quite a life saver if you love rice and rich dishes that really need to be enjoyed with rice.

Wednesday

I took my car to service whilst I was away in Redang so we had to eat out for lunch, we ate at a coffee shop and ended up with 3 really rich dishes (consumed with no rice!).

Wednesday Lunch

Dinner was in Kuantan, managed to get away with just eating about 1/4 of a bowl of rice.

Wednesday Dinner

Lovely food though.

Thursday/Friday/Saturday

I ate as a little carbs as possible, but diving burns a hell of a lot of calories and there were no high calorie items such as beans available, so I did have some rice. A typical meal would look something like this (didn’t drink any sugared water…ok I had one can of coke, but I also drank a lot of beer haha).

Redang Food

It’s a holiday wei…what am I supposed to do. Didn’t have my phone with me the rest of the time so couldn’t really take any pictures of what I ate.

Saturday night was a garden wedding where I stuffed myself with a lot of butter and bread roles, we skipped lunch so we could get back in time and just ate a bunch of nuts in the car on the way back (almonds, pistachios and cashew nuts).

Sunday went a bit mad instead of getting back on the diet, due to the sad news – we were both in a bit of a weird mood. Not a mood conducive to eating eggs.

I had an all day breakfast at Sid’s (seems to be a common place for my cheat day haha) and a few pints whilst watching the Rugby.

For dinner we ate Japanese at Jaya One – it was ok. I was still hungry after that though so I had a Ramly burger and some potatoe chips – whoops.

Of course by Monday I was back on track 😀

Weigh In

Monday Morning Weight = 124.1kg
Saturday Morning Weight = The best I have is Wednesday morning – before I went to Redang – where I weighed in at 121.9kg
Weight Loss = 2.2kg

Well I’ve decided I may as well document my effort at dieting here for my own good as much as anything else, and to put it out there in the public eye to put more pressure on myself to stick to it.

Also I like to think of it more as a paradigm shift in my eating than a diet, my goal is not only weight loss – but to be healthy. In a way this new food regime aims at body recomposition – loss of fat and gaining of muscle.

Anyway this and the following posts will basically document what I eat, and my weight fluctuations (which hopefully move downwards in general).

Monday

This is generally what breakfast/lunch looks like – before that I would have drank 500ml of iced water and taken my first dose of PAGG.

Breakfast/Lunch

I won’t be posting much pictures of these, because it’s basically a bunch of eggs (fried/scrambled/omeletted etc) and some beans/spinach/salsa/ham/bacon etc.

The crucial thing is to eat 30grams of protein within 30mins or max 1 hour of waking.

Dinner was beef rendang with cauliflower rice, it didn’t work so well because it’s a fairly dry dish and the cauliflower taste overwhelmed me a bit even though the rendang was delicious.

Beef Rendang

Tuesday

You can work out what I had for breakfast/lunch I’m sure.

For dinner it was delicious Vietnamese mint chicken (recipe here) with cauliflower rice and fried cabbage, this worked much better as it was very rich and tasty and had a lot more sauce.

Vietnamese Mint Chicken

Wednesday

Peri peri pork kebabs (recipe here) with a delicious warm bean salad.

Peri Peri Pork Kebabs

Super meal – thumbs up.

Thursday

This is a slow carb dish I’ve been asking for quite some time! Cottage pie with cauliflower mash instead of potatoe – it was delicious – probably my favourite meal of the week.

Cauliflower Cottage Pie

We devoured a huge pile of it, and I was the lightest I’ve been the next day – awesome!

Friday

A whole roast chicken stuffed with lemons! The chicken was beautiful but it lacked fillers, there were some sugar snap peas and roasted carrots but needed something like bean mash to round it out and fill me up.

Roast Chicken

And well I did good, I reached Friday without any sugar (any food was sweetened with Stevia if the recipe called for sugar), no carbs and no alcohol (the toughest one for me – but a large reason why I gained so much weight).

I did celebrate with a drink on Friday night, which I shouldn’t have – but I’d made it a whole week.

And well what comes after Friday? The best day EVER!! Saturday AKA Cheat DAY! The day we can absolutely anything we like in any quantity without remorse.

Saturday

Started off the day at Sid’s with a Ben Nevis burger and a pint of Guinness, followed by a pint of Kilkenny and 3 pints of Heineken whilst I watched Wales win and England lose in the Rugby.

Ben Nevis Burger

After the rugby was done went home, then to Pavilion, was a bit hungry before the movie so I grabbed a Shimino crepe with butter cake and ice cream – it was delicious.

Shimino Crepe

I finished a can of coke and the popcorn during the movie, and then after that we headed to SS2 for Frog Porridge! I had a can of coke with that too.

Frog Porridge

We went a bit mad after that and watched movies/TV till far too late, we went to McD and I consumed a double cheese burger, 2 pieces of ayam goreng and 2 chicken mcnuggets.

And as they say, that was the end of cheat day – I was truly stuffed like a pig.

Sunday

Back to reality, forced down a bunch of eggs for brunch.

Went out for dinner and hit the only really safely slow-carb place we’ve figured out so far, Nando’s. Grilled veges + 3-bean salad + half a chicken = perfect slow carb.

Nando's

I love Nando’s, it’s delicious and totally on diet. I wish there were more restaurant choices in Malaysia that don’t shove processed white carbs down your throat.

I had a vodka + diet coke before bed – bad me. No more booze in the week.

And that’s week 1 wrapped, hoorah and let’s get on with week 2!

Weigh In

Monday Morning Weight = 124.8kg
Saturday Morning Weight = 121.5kg
Weight Loss = 3.3kg
