October 1, 20178 yr So, here in the UK it's "Sober for October" so I am going to try a little experiment with my diet and weight management....My only vice now it alcohol (wine and gin - mmmmm gin). So I am going to weigh myself tonight and log my weight, I am then going to go this month without alcohol (and while I am at it, I am going to seriously reduce the amount of dairy I take on - gone is white coffe, "normal" tea and in come black coffee in the morning and green tea, I don't eat much yoghurt or cheese anyway).I will then log my weight at the end of the month and see what a difference this has made.
October 1, 20178 yr Sounds interesting. Good luck with it; much success!! Btw, did you check with your doctor first?? **Proof is on the floor!!!
October 1, 20178 yr Author Nah, I did my own research, though I would try a more oriental diet (well sort of - cutting out dairy and adding more veg, not eating man made starchy foods such as pasta etc)
October 1, 20178 yr I greatly reduced my carb intake. If what you mentioned in the original post have been part of your regular diet, you might want to consider having a couple cheat-days during the month. Have a couple beers on a Friday or Saturday night. Maybe weekend coffee can have cream?If you flat-out remove all that from your regular diet, you'll likely break down and binge. Just my two-cents! 5th Geup Jidokwan Tae Kwon Do/Hap Ki Do (Never officially tested in aikido, iaido or kendo)

Thanks, I shall see how it goes, I am so adamant that I want to try this, just for the month to see how it goes, 1st weigh in is 75.6kg and I dread to think how much % body fat (I reckon at least 20 %)

October 6, 20178 yr Author weighed in this morning and I am down to 74.1kg so going well so far....my aim is to get to a point where I am down to about 70kg (11 stone), and ideally lose the slight bear belly I had acquired so that I am mainly lean muscle
