Yea that's a great effort.
It's amazing how just eliminating sugar and bad carbs from your diet knocks off the kgs, I'm on the just got diagnosed with diabeties diet.
I wasn't very much over weight but I've lost about 5 kg without even close to starving myself by just eating better quality food.
Amazing how easy it is to be healthy when you have to

Refined sugar has not been a part of my usual diet for over 3 years now. I lost 25 kg two years ago, put most of it back on by putting sugar back in my diet, but losing it again now that it is off the menu again.

I've never had a sweet tooth and seldom ate sugar but beer and red bull, premixed spirits was where I got them

Never been one to mix spirits with soft drink myself, but I can tell you that scotch whiskey has very low carbs and very drinkable straight up with ice. I believe bourbon has a higher carb count than scotch, but not much more. I used to drink nothing but scotch and ice to keep the weight off in my younger years when I was forced to keep fit.

Cheers, Marschy

Yea i only ever drunk scotch straight unless it was premixed in cans.
Now it's not so much the carbs in alcohol but the alcohol itself effect on your pancreas, last thing I want is to end up on insulin so my love of scotch will be occasional now

Unfortunately if you want to drop the weight quickly there is only one remedy. Give up the booze and sugar for a while, sucks don't it?

[dales133]

Sure does

Bugger, good luck with it all mate ! a mate of mines been dealing with that too for the past year  ..

Thanks Ed.
Felt like Shit so I went to the dr and rattled off a few symptoms, he did a glucometer reading on me and I was 27.5...borderline hospitalization (normal range is 4 -7)
Got it under control in a month though but the medication and change of diets kicked my arse

Throw in a 1/2 hour walk everyday with no sugar and watch the kilo's fall off. I used to do this when I lost all my weight. My heart monitor told me I was loosing 400 calories each time I went for a walk.

[Jeepers Creepers]

Sex is good for getting rid of calories too. So I've heard. 

Be good if I could stay at it for 30 minutes though......  My toothpaste always comes out before i'm finished brushing.

[edz]

  You idget, what was the bay like over easter ? did you get the bucket out for a cruise

[Jeepers Creepers]

Yes and no......

We were about to go past the fish Co-op and the drive coupling between the engine and the leg made some rumbling noises.
So a quick U-turn and back to da marina. Should of heard it when we turned it around. 
When we get back from Cairns, i'll chuck it up on the hardstand and get the leg off and sort it out. Well, not me as such, but the mechanic will.

Gotta love boats..... Bring Out Another Thousand ot three.

[edz]

Ahhh just prey to the rain gods and make the grass grow you'll be right, bugger about the gremlins with the tub though .

[dales133]

Lol

[dales133]

They are great when they work

[Jeepers Creepers]

Oh yeah, that's for sure.

Old thread I know but am interested in how the ongoing weight loss and management with Optifast has gone. The diabetes monster has got me and I am now relying on medication (some of which has reported unpleasant side effects).

Edz I will send you a PM in regards to specifics if you don't mind.

Thanks

Rod
