Losing weight is meant to be hard, gruelling and time consuming. You’re meant to chip away at the fat using exhausting circuit training, hours of spent on the treadmill and the elimination of ‘bad foods’.
It brings me great joy to note that the notion of needing hard cardiovascular work to lose weight is slowly subsiding…
When new to the game and struggling for meal ideas, you might need a bit of a prod… I often get asked for some basic meal ideas so here are some of my regular concoctions and a quick categorisation of where they can be used in your diet.
It seems we have reached the horizon. People are giving elimination diets a meaty right hook, fly-kicking orthorexic dietary approaches and suplexing ‘clean eating principles’. My ears rejoice listening to the rustle of ticks as people work their way up the nutritional pyramid. Alas, we cannot be ignorant – whilst it may appear we were in the clear and on the straight and narrow path to dietary enlightenment, lingering is the smell of another contender. This stench, a very distant relative to the initial group is prowling; waiting to get in the way of life optimisation.
Its possessiveness is clouding the mind and feeding the law of diminishing returns – sucking people into a pitiless void of wasted time, frustration, envy and disappointment. It might not seem like such a big issue on face value, but when efficiency can be found through the death of culinary fuckery – I’m all for it!
“I can’t cook! I don’t know what to cook?”…. Bullshit.
