A view from the other side.... Had a quite disturbing colonoscomy a few weeks ago, more tests pending, and I'm on a severely restricted diet..... No fats (milk cheese etc) , nothing spicy (onion garlic chillies) , no/low fibre, only simple proteins like chicken, tuna, eggs. Pretty much living on boiled eggs, tuna pasta and as much honey (calories! ) as I can get down me. Struggling to keep weight up at
59kg! Doing good though, trending in the right direction, so pls no sympathy req.
All just a prelude to simply saying
you can do it when you have to, just don't get to the stage where you have to
I'm off to have a delicious 77 calorie boiled egg now....
You need 7,700 cal to make 1kg of body fat. 256 more/fewer cals a day =1kg a month =nearly 2st in 12 months. That's doable whether you're aim is up or down. (5x ginger biscuits for us calorie counters
)
