Well, I am not really ON an diet... In the normal sense of 'Going on a diet'...
I still eat 'normal' unhealthy meals daily. Chips & beans, with chicken nuggets or sausages... Full sunday Lunches... 2 or 3 bars of dairy milk chocolate a day... I always have a couple of pot noodles at night... Plus as an example of me 'not being on a diet'... Tonight I'm having a chicken curry and egg fried rice with chips from my local chinky... So I am certainly not starving myself
Two things are different though.
1) I dont drink anymore (Well not the liter of smirnoff before breakfast style of drinking...) Although as I type this I am having a glass of 'Barnsly Gold' from the acorn brewery of barnstable... That has just arrived as a late xmas pressie
&
2) I bought a treadmill...
I do 3 X 20 min walks a day. Once in the morning, once after lunch, and one early evening... I only
WALK. I dont run, and I
ONLY do it for 20 Mins.
NOT A MIN MORE !
I cover around 1.3 miles per 20 min session. While I dont get sweaty, and barely even notice the 'workout' (Cause I do it infront of the TV - Hence the 20 min limit... One 'half hour TV show minus commercials) & that works out at 1.3 miles X 3 times a day, = 3.9 miles a day. 7 Days a week = 27.3 miles a week...
The equivalent of walking a marathon, uphill each week...
But thats it really... It flies in the face of all the healthy eating and going to the gym style advice you hear... But thats it. Simple as that, and it works !
