My Body is a Temple...

Actually, my body's more like a garage full of crap, next to the powerstation of my lungs and the cesspit of my liver.

However, I've been on this diet for a week now, and I've not found it too hard.

The book lists a meal plan for each day, which I've liberally misconstrued as I don't eat meat, but wisely-chosen veggy-burgers and sausages are pretty damn low-carb anyway, so it's not been too bad.

Basically, meals have consisted of: Eggs, salad and veggy-burgers, with no-sugar jelly puddings and snacking on nuts, celery and cheese.

Despite how utterly gruesome this sounds, it's been suprisingly easy. Partly because I already liked salad, I'd just got out of the habit of eating it (let alone it making up half of most meals), and through being a veggy for so many years, a bit of my mind can just learn that certain foods are out and blank them out without even craving them.

So yeah. No cravings to speak of, though as I say, that might be down to my Jedi-veggy-skills, and the amount of actual food allowed for each day is more than enough to sate a nuclear-powered serial-horse-abuser like myself.

I've lost just over 5 pounds in a week which to be honest, yeah... that's worth the effort.

If I can get the best part of a stone off (14 pounds to my yanqui chums), I'll be dead chuffed.

The rather cool side-effect of drinking Bloody Marys has been that my hangovers have been greatly reduced, too.

And I burned about 500 kcals on DDR today, too. Not quite the 1000 I was aiming for. Need to work on that.

It's not actually made a visible difference to me yet, truth be told, but I've noticed greatly elevated energy levels.

Certainly no problem to carry this on for another week.

Strange. Maybe I should have tried this before, but I always discount such things as unhealthy faddishness. I guess I'll know more when I've done it for more than a paltry week, but initial signs are quite good.

Now to get shitfaced and write music, as my wallet looks decidedly annorexic.
