This is only DAY 10. I had not overcome sugar craving and I am not fat adapted yet. Soon I will be using Ketones as fuel. Until then, I have to PERSIST.
I do feel easily irritated these past few days.
You can never be too thin. Look at Angelina Jolie and Michelle Pfeiffer in the movie Maleficent The Mistress of Evil.
I personally think they are too thin. But the point is they can choose to be thin. Can I also be thin if I want to? Thin or fat in this case is a question of preference. In the past I purposely wanted to be well-build because I wanted to have some muscles. Now I want to be light so that I can be fast.
By definition, an elite long distance runner is thin. At 57 kg, I will be as thin as Mo Farah. That is not underweight, that is optimum weight as a long distance runner.
To me it's not about body beautiful. It's about form following function. I want to be a long distance runner, therefore I should have a body of a long distance runner.
Along the way I build lean muscle. So this is how a 56 kg 5% fat should look like:
If I do it right, I can be thin as well as muscular.

The Eclipse Mint really helps to curb hunger. I am thinking of having some Super Combo Nasi Lemak. I cannot simply give in. I am still within the 2 weeks sugar craving and fat adaptation phase.
I'll take a short nap.

Today OMAD is really challenging. I feel weak. So after sleeping for 2 hours I decided to have some carbs; scone and raisin. I nearly blew it out of proportion, thinking about having rice for lunch. I ended having the Q Bistro Combo. Again after meal I thought of having a fruit cake. Then I said, "It's just sugar." Then immediately I came to my senses.
I ended having hot tea with lemon.
If we are not careful, we end up eating more sugar instead of real nutrition. I already breached the protocol today with the scone. I guess the raisins were not that bad.
Always be careful with sugar and processed food. That is my crusade. Beside AHAD and OMAD, my pledge is no sugar and starch.
The year I say NO to sugar and starch
So now whenever I want to eat something, I will ask, "Is i[s] sugar and processed food?" It is very tricky. Non sugar and non starch means veges and animal products. As long at it is grains and it is processed, chances are they are sugar and starch.
That's when OMAD comes in handy. First level is LCHF. If that fails, the second line of defense is OMAD.
---------------------
I made full use of the quality time by sleeping for 2 solid hours. I feel fresh. Looks like nowadays the latest I sleep is at 11:00 pm. Otherwise I have trouble staying awake before lunch.
---------------------
I need to stay focus on my daily progress, namely the 500 grams a day reduction. Very importantly, for me to keep producing the result, I need to eat OMAD and exercise AHAD. When possible maintain LCHF unless like today. I was pretty weak.
So I push the limit every day to produce optimum result. Now I know 80% is due to food, I am very determined not to unnecessarily eat sugar and starch.
In the past, I had the tendency to lose control after a few minor slips. This time I am determined NOT TO FUCK UP. That include no Nicorette. I'll have the Eclipse Mint instead.
