    I would eat that in a heart beat! Wild mushrooms, not so fast. You must know what your doing with them.

    I have a good source for wild mushrooms, no problem here.

    In few days I will mark my 30 days of OMAD. I hope for next week to lose more weight, I need to stick to basic OMAD. I will try to eat only veggies/sea fruits/birds/fish. Also, one plate rule. No more pork/cow for a week. Also, low carbs. Need to be lower that 100Kg ASAP :)

    Another thing, I decided to check my weight only one time at the week, not every day.

    Yesterday I went to the shopping mall and I bought 3 jeans. What a pleasure to wear jeans again, after 10 long years .....

    Let's see the (good) news Friday !

    This weekend menu: boring stuff, frozen/canned. Nothing special, just LCHF meals.

    Hi all

    Friday report after a low carbs high fat week.

    Next week I will try to eat normal OMAD, one plate rule. Also some carbs, but not too much. 1.8kg is almost 4 pounds, a bit too much for one week.

    have a nice weekend !

    Some of that loss is water to support glycogen storage. When you go low carb, you don't store as much glylcogen and hence not as much water. If you eat carbs again, you will gain a lb or two of that back immediately, which will only be water so don't be alarmed (its a one time deal and won't keep adding on). You most likely didn't lose 4-lbs of fat for the week. If you continue low carb this next week you will see how much fat you really are losing on a low carb diet. Having said that, I think low carb is good for weight loss, but it is not for me.

    Bob is right about the carbs, I gained 10.8 pounds after eating a lot of carbs for 3 days and then lost 8.8 pounds in 3 days by eating low carb :)

    @blambo61, thank you for the info about carbs, it was new for me.

    This week is a busy one, kids started school, a lot of work, etc. So, OMAD but with higher quantities. I eat fishes mostly mackerel, sardines, trout, etc. Of course, with veggies or mushrooms. One day I eat tons of carbs, I enjoyed one glass of wine, etc. I will be happy if my Friday weight will be less than 102 Kg :)

    Next week I will try what @blambo61 said. One week of low carbs, then weight, then another week of low carbs. Can't wait to test that. Anyway, let's finish this week first.

    Baby herring, boiled in lard. Awesome .....

    Cheap food, and very healthy. Good fat, good omega's, etc

    Don't think I've tried that, but looks good to me. I love fish!
  • ooliviuoo
    ooliviuoo Posts: 81 Member
    I used veggies instead rice. Similar result :)

    1kg of baby herring is less than 3 usd. 1/2kg of veggies (mexican mix) is 0,5usd. As I said , cheap and healthy....

    This week I eat mostly fish and veggies. Didn't follow one plate rule, but I avoided to eat too many carbs.
    I am very close to 100 kg milestone. Just realized that I've done 2/3 of my weight target (melted 22.1kg, still need to lose 10.4kg)

    For next week I will eat the same style, and hope to be less than 100 kg in few days. Of course, I will splurge one day after this ....

    You're losing on average more than 1.5 kilos per week that is amazing.

    This week I eat normally, and I think I met the first plateau. It is ok, I feel just fine, and only for my ego I will do something to go below 100Kg. Then, time to strict OMAD and some fitness.

    I started to drink coffee with my wife (no sugar no milk).
