Will keep monitoring. This week I focused on hunger signs and eating when hungry and not eating when not hungry. I've decided to only eat if I'm REALLY hungry, and if it's slight hunger feelings, to ignore. There were a couple of days this week where I couldn't ignore the hunger at lunch time, so I ate. I purchased a LotusGrill hoping that it would improve the flavour of my steaks, but to be honest I'm a bit disappointed with it. The steak doesn't have a barbecue flavour at all. Next week I'll try it with a lid on and see if that improves things. My weight stayed constant this week but my waist line shrunk a bit more and so did the body fat %. Seems that I might be converting fat into muscle! Here's my belt.  --- ## Charts Since day 1.    --- ## 17th October LotusGrill arrived so decided to try it out with a grass-fed ribeye!  It really is a charcoal barbecue that's ready to cook in 5 mins after lighting. Incredible. However, it lacks the barbecue taste because it's pretty much smokeless. I have ordered a 34cm glass saucepan lid, and some hickory for next time, so hopefully will get a better flavour. Still pretty good though. ### Lunch Got hungry about 2pm so had * 70g pork scratchings ### Dinner * 390g grass-fed ribeye steak (13.7oz) * 2 English pork sausages * 50g of Scottish smoked salmon  ## Nutrition information | Fat (g) | Protein (g) | Calories | Fat/protein ratio | |---------|-------------|----------|-------------------| | 138 | 120 | 1756 | 1.16 | ## 18th October Tried some burgers and more sausages on the LotusGrill again today. Not bad, not smoky though. One meal today. ### Dinner * 250g Beef smash burgers (8.8oz) * 2 English pork sausages * 50g of Scottish smoked salmon * 4 rashers of streaky bacon * 2 fried eggs  ## Nutrition information | Fat (g) | Protein (g) | Calories | Fat/protein ratio | |---------|-------------|----------|-------------------| | 125 | 118 | 1576 | 1.05 | ## 19th October Lovely sunny day, so decided to do some gardening. I had so much energy that I planted out 8 packets of spring bulbs, dug a long border, edged all the lawn with a spade, cleared and dug over my greenhouse. Boundless energy. I didn't eat anything all day until about 7pm. In the morning I put on a beef brisket on the slow cooker. Fat/protein ratio is way off in this meal. I thought the brisket would be fattier but it was quite lean. ### Dinner * 728g Beef brisket slow cooked (1.6lb) * 4 rashers of streaky bacon  ## Nutrition information | Fat (g) | Protein (g) | Calories | Fat/protein ratio | |---------|-------------|----------|-------------------| | 107 | 226 | 1868 | 0.47 | ## 20th October I thought I'd try and get more fat in today than protein after yesterday's protein-rich meal. I had some belly pork in the freezer so defrosted that over 24 hours in the fridge and roasted it in the oven for half an hour and had it with some hot pepper smoked mackerel fillets. It didn't taste that great, so I only ate one of the strips and the mackerel and binned the rest.  I didn't have much else in the house so cooked four eggs with mushrooms and bacon and some left-over salami that needed using up.  ### Dinner * 150g Pork belly slices * 3 rashers back bacon * 4 large eggs * 4 slices of Milano salami * Mushrooms fried in butter * Hot smoked mackerel fillets (105g) ## Nutrition information | Fat (g) | Protein (g) | Calories | Fat/protein ratio | |---------|-------------|----------|-------------------| | 101 | 104 | 1324 | 0.97 | ## 21st October I was really hungry by 11:30am, so decided not to fast all the way to dinner time today. I had a small ribeye with some cheese and eggs. ### Lunch * 2 large fried eggs * 227g Trimmed ribeye (8oz) * 50g Gorgonzola cheese  I was really hungry by dinner time too, and went out to a quality steak house for another ribeye with halloumi fries.  ### Dinner * 280g Ribeye (10oz) * 100g Halloumi fries * 50g Fried onion loaf ## Nutrition information | Fat (g) | Protein (g) | Calories | Fat/protein ratio | |---------|-------------|----------|-------------------| | 137 | 150 | 1908 | 0.92 | ## 22nd October Again, I was really hungry by 11:30am, so decided not to fast all the way to dinner time today. I was out in London so popped into a cafe and had a greasy spoon. ### Lunch * 2 large fried eggs * 2 rashers of back bacon * 2 pork sausages  ### Dinner * 270g Grass-fed Ribeye (9.5oz) * 175g Steak and bone marrow burger (6oz) * 50g Gorgonzola cheese * 2 large fried eggs  ## Nutrition information | Fat (g) | Protein (g) | Calories | Fat/protein ratio | |---------|-------------|----------|-------------------| | 152 | 156 | 2043 | 0.98 | ## 23rd October I wasn't very hungry today so did a 22 hour fast. I did an intense kettlebell workout after 21 hours of fasting, so hopefully that burnt off a bit of body fat. ### Dinner * 260g Grass-fed Ribeye (9.1oz) * 175g Steak and bone marrow burger (6oz) * 50g Gorgonzola cheese * 1 tin of sardines in water * 3 rashers of back bacon  ## Nutrition information | Fat (g) | Protein (g) | Calories | Fat/protein ratio | |---------|-------------|----------|-------------------| | 125 | 125 | 1632 | 1.00 | --- ## My Stats Start of week: * Weight: 83.5 kg (184 pounds) * Waist: 95.5 cm (37.6 in.) * Body fat: 19% End of week: * Weight: 83.5 kg (184 pounds) * Waist: 95 cm (37.4 in.) * Body fat: 17% --- ## Back next week I will post weekly to the blog, every Wednesday evening UK time.
