Kyonovice Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 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.

sensei8 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Sounds interesting. Good luck with it; much success!! Btw, did you check with your doctor first?? **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyonovice Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singularity6 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 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.
