Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead

Ladies and Gentlemen ... I have been inspired!

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and the inspirational Joe (the juicer) Cross highlights the benefits of eating, or rather drinking, real food ... As in unprocessed and fully natural ...  Who would have thought a concept so simple could be so true or so positive!

I so want to do this ... as much to prove to myself that I can do it and as much to lose more weight ... This might be the kicker I need to get me under 100 kgs ... Stayed tuned ... it all starts this weekend!

So What's Next?

So What's Next? You might ask ... short answer is, I don't really know, but I am open to suggestions.  I am thinking of taking a week off and recovering to see what effect returning to normal actually has on on me.

Today for example, I had toast with butter for breakfast ... a no no on the Chemical Diet.  I followed it up with a steak sandwich for lunch followed by a roast chicken dinner with salad.  I also had a diet coke and a flavoured water.  All up I would say it's probably a slightly healthier version of a typical day for me.

It will be very interesting to see what effect that has on the weight situation.  One thing is for certain, I do not want to cave in and eat chocolate, nor do I want to drink the full sugar Coke that I used to ... I need to make adjustments.  The government ran an obesity campaign here in Australia a few years ago called ... SWAP IT ... I think that's what I will do ... I will swap out some of the bad things and replace them with healthy alternatives .... instead of hot chips (fries) I will have a salad on the side.

Diets are great, but being realistic, unless it is something that you can stick to long term, then they don't stand a chance.  Imagine if I had of made a straight line to MacDonalds or KFC for breakfast on the fast day back after dieting ... it would have just been unwise ... Speaking of KFC ... see below for the latest heart stoping (but delicious looking and yes I want one) monstrosity.  The KFC Double ... scary ... I think I'm getting fatter just looking at it.  Don't give in to this mouth watering temptation!

The official Weigh In

After seven days on the diet I have lost 5.6kgs .... A good effort and one that feels worthwhile ...

The Chemical Diet - Completed!

It's official ... I have officially completed all meals on the Chemical Diet.  Like all diets that take you out of your normal eating routine and habits  I have to say ... it was tough ... if I never see another egg, it will be to soon!

Having said that, I managed to stick to the diet almost in its entirety .. there were some life issues that got in the way, but I felt that I managed them well and responsibly.  The only thing that remains for me now is the weigh in.  I will be doing this in the morning at the same time as all the other ones ... that way I have a consistency.  I would really love to drop at least 5 kgs, but 6 or 7 would be great.  Only a good night sleep will tell.

Would I recommend this diet ... YES ... but only if you are prepared for the fact that it's hard and it won't be easy

Day 7 ... The Last Day

I am determined that going into my last day on this diet I will absolutely stick to it.  On the menu today is;


Day 7 Breakfast 2 scrambled eggs, grilled tomatoes
Lunch 2 Poached eggs& spinach
Dinner Grilled steak & salad

I can do this!  Will let know how I go and post my final weigh in details tomorrow.

Day 6 ... The Wheels Feel Off ...

It started well then went down hill quickly.  I had to go to a social function today and it was very, very hard to make good decisions.  Let me cut straight to the point.  Here is what I was supposed to have had on Day 6;


Day 6 Breakfast 1 boiled egg, 1 glass grapefruit juice
Lunch Fresh fruit (any amount)
Dinner Roast chicken, cabbage, carrots

Here is what I actually had on Day 6

Day 6 Breakfast 1 boiled egg, 1 grapefruit (off to a good start)
Lunch 300g Eye Fillet Steak (no sauce, no chips just salad on the side), a beer (yes a beer), a diet Coke
Dinner Roast Chicken (cooked to perfection by my beautiful wife), a litte bit of stuffing, salad.

The result was no weight loss yesterday at all .... as in 0 .....  was it worth it?  Absolutely ... good times with friends and family for no net gain.  Was it in line with the diet ... absolutely not ... but I still think I made good decisions.  Let me know your thoughts.
