It's obviously had the desired effect but i dont think you are eating enough to sustain muscle mass/be healthy all round. Do you intend to keep up this diet or is it just a blast to get some weight off?
My lunch is normally fairly protein rich, although I listed mcdonalds as an option ive only eaten there twice in the 5 weeks, its more often a pub lunch which will be steak or fish or burger of fish and chips, and I have a protein rich diet at weekends (bear in mind im only on this diet 5 days a week not 7)
Its only a quick blast to get some initial weight loss, basically I've been loaned out to another company through work and im placed in central london at the moment, so a week into it I decided it would be a good excuse to have a temporary total change of diet and regime for that period, which is 8 weeks total, Ive got 2 weeks left now including this one, my target I set myself was to get to lose a stone, and ive already done that.
Once I go back to my normal job, im probably going to up what I eat and then hit the gym again, I just thought it would be good to get some weight off first as no one wants to watch a fat fucker on the machines
Longer term aim at the moment is I would like to get back into some form of martial art, but I dont know if I really have time in my life to fit that in or not, might be able to manage 1 session a week, its just a shitter as I would like to do it of a weekend but there are almost no weekend martial arts classes near where I stay in taunton of a weekend, they are all during the week, and during the week im up in london and tend to be busy most evenings.
We'll see how it pans out, but either way I feel its a change that has done me good so far.
Ironically the 6 miles of walking a day is an utter piece of piss, im still a lot fitter than I realised I was, although at the same time im nowhere near what I used to be at my prime when I was doing a couple of miles of running a day, 7 martial arts classes a week and a few miles of walking a day, but that was 15 years ago and I had a lot more time on my hands then!
