dinner

Weigh-in tomorrow.

I've started doing Bikram Yoga again which will be a test on this diet. I'm so used to overdosing on carbs for workout energy.
 
You are doing well with your weight loss. congrats.

Is chia yummy? I"ve bought some flat bread with it in but i can't taste it. Is it expensive?

Its good to see your eating lots of fruit and vegetables. You don't see that enough of that around here. You sure are eating a ton of protein though and no dairy which is not so great for bone health. Are you aware of the need for lots of calcium for bone health?

I usually buy the rainforest brand of chia and it lasts me about 3 weeks; it's not cheap. It has no taste but mixes well with other stuff and has good calcium and omega-3 content. I've been off dairy for over ten years and . I did get a DEXA bone scan over a month ago, and my bone density was well within the normal range.

There are other sources of calcium such as leafy green vegetables, salmon and sardines which, as you have noticed, are part of my diet. According to MFP I have days where I go over on the calcium requirment. By the way, i agree with you, I don't see enough people eating the veggies.

In regards to the protein, some sources say you can ingest 1.4g to 2.0 per kg of body weight (I'm about 90kg right now) -- I try to stay within a medium and i'm physically active right now, so it is needed

Thanks. First time in seven years i've weighed under 200. I started doing hot yoga again and its kind of nice not having my gut get in the way while getting into a pose.

The first few weeks I was eating up to 3500 calories on my cheat day, but now I keep it under 3000 calories.

I'm glad MFP is working out for you -- it's been helping me quite a bit also.

I've been using MFP (another free site) in conjunction with this one. I've decided to move on and soley use MFP. PM me if you want to continue to follow my progress and I will send a link to my diary I keep there.

Much thanks to everybody for their encouragement.

Just for clarification. I followed the 4HB diet for the first six weeks then switched to a Paleo type of diet (no legumes, some fruit) and have been doing that since then.

I will be updating progress and the ticker regularly.

I'm getting close to my ideal weight and need to think about maintenance (the difficult part).

Still maintaining at 175 with about 13% bodyfat.. I have added some new pictures. I was under 170, but that is a bit light if I want to maintain muscle mass

1. Working out 4-6 times per week. (Bikram yoga and Kettlebell classes)

2. Calories between 1800-2500 per day depending on whether I work out or not.

3. Following a "paleo" type of diet
