Hello hello,
Yes, it has been way, oh way too long, but I’m back.
Let’s go straight to the point: I have lost 31kg and I am loving it! It feels so good! And the best part is that my clothes actually fit me or they are too big. But I made a promise that I wont get much new stuff until I am where I want to be.
I am still going strong without sugar, and in addition, I gave up wheat as well. I still make and eat bread, but without wheat. I dont get that blown up feeling after i eat, and oat flour works wonders in bakes. I have created a really good recipe for a raspberry-pie (sugar and wheat free) and it last me for 2-3 days and then Ill bake another one. Want to learn how to make it? Well here you go….
Sugar and wheat free coconut-nuts-raspberry pie:
100g butter
2 egg
- Melt the butter and add the eggs individually.
4tbls honey
2 “caps” vanilla extract
- Add the honey and vanilla into butter-egg mixture
3dl oat flour (or combine rice flour or what ever you want to use)
1dl chopped nuts (which ever you prefer)
1dl coconut
3tsp baking powder
- Combine all flours together and then add to the butter-eggs mixture
250-500g raspberries
some honey
- Add some honey with the raspberries (can be frozen or fresh). I either add one bag (250g) or two (=500g) and they both work just fine. Depends how much of the raspberry taste you want to have.
- Combine the berries with the rest.
- Bake in 200 degrees for about 35mins.
- READY!
I’ll add pics the next time I shall make it. That will prob be on Monday 🙂
Then to training. I go to the gym 3-5 times a week and I have two programs, which i use in turns.
Training:
- Warm up: running 3-7K (8,6K/h)
- Legs: I either use leg press or deadlift. With leg press I squat down with other leg in front of me (I go straight down). I do that 15 times with both legs. Then back to leg press and this again. Both 3 times. With dead lift I do 12 times  squats with weights. Both 12 times, one after the otehr for 3 tiems each.
- Arms: I either do bench with military press or incline bench press with triceos by using this “string” that you pull down on either side of your body. Each combo 3+3 for 10-15 times.
- Back and abs: pull-ups with the machine combined with back trainer or I lie on the bench and bring my legs up and down one by one combined with curl bar. Onece again, 3+3 10-15 times each.
- In addition: “front swings” with kettlebell + some version of plank or breast rowing in the machine (only using my arms) +Â “front swings” with kettlebel. Same old, each for 10-15 times and 3+3 all together.
- Stretching.
It takes me around 1,5-2 hours to do the whole set depending on the run. obviously 3K run takes less time than 7 K run 🙂
And what do I eat these days? Well, I often start my day with porridge/toast (wheat free)/piece of the pie and then I have lunch which can be a salad/ salty pie/ omelette/anything really. Later on Ill have a snack or dinner, which is what ever has been cooked but its always sugar and wheat free. I hardly eat potatoes/rice/noodles anymore. I love salmon, quark with berries, salads, pies, self-made pizza (well,everything I eat is self-made and I mean made from the scratch). It is really easy to get comfortable with a new diet, as I did it step-by-step and I am now at the point when I don’t go crazy about sweets or anything really. Food is what keeps my body running, and I want to eat healthy. It is really simple ones you get to the correct mode.
I will post a set of pictures later on, to show how I have changed. But that will take some time, as in the end of the set i want to be at my goal. But it is coming… one day! Hmm, I could post some duo pic of me last Jan and now.. shall look into it.
OK, it wont take nearly as long ’til im back as it did this time around! Hope you found tips from this post!
Ciao,
Finch
