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.

Day 5 ... Did I Just Cheat Today? ..

The answer is maybe.  You see, today I had a team lunch and inevitably I had to order something.  I searched the menu for something healthy and i came up with the following;

It's a Coffee Club Citrus Salad ... It's not bad and actually tastes great ... Is it cheating ... YES ... Of course it is, but sometimes life gets in the way of even the best laid plans.  I went to lunch with my team and made a good choice ...

I didn't buy a cheeseburger, I didn't buy hot chips (French Fries for my American friends), I bought a healthy grilled chicken and salad option and surprise, surprise I loved it!

I am very conscious though that it will no doubt have an impact on my weigh in number in just 2 days time.  I feel that my decision was a good one, but time will only tell.  Let me know your thoughts in the comments ... good decision or bad?
