Diet progress: 74 kg

A bit slower that expected, but I reached 74 kg.
I guess now it will take another month from now to lose another kilogram and reach the target.

Diet progress: still 75 kg

This week I have to admit it, I didn't follow the diet in a strict way.
Too much beer on Wednesday, Friday and last night.

The results are pretty clear, no progress.

Diet progress: 75 kg

The balance is now telling me that I weight 75 kg. That means I've lost another 800 grams.
Not too much, but perfectly on target.

Diet progress: -1.2 kg

When I put 73 kg as one month target I wasn't so sure I could make it.
But the progresses are promising: now I weight 75.8 kg, that means I've lost about 1.2 kg.

New bet: to weight less than Davide

Lately Davide has been making fun of me because he eats like a pig and still weights less than I do. He is also so stubborn that he doesn't want to take a blood test, so these are the terms of the bet: "he'll take a blood test as soon as I will weight less than he does".

So the plan is simple: strict diet and a lot more of physical activity. With strict diet I don't mean I will not eat anything, that is very stupid. Instead I will choose carefully each food I'll eat during the day, avoiding to take any carbohydrate after lunch (1.30 pm) till the day after.
This isn't easy because it means i can't take any sugar in the coffee, drink a cola or having even a fruit. Pizza, pasta and bread are then prohibited at supper, so I could only have vegetables, meet or fish.
The explanation is that by keeping a very low sugar level in the blood, the body will start burning some of the lipids that have been with me for a long time. By not taking any carbohydrate after lunch it means that I will be burning lipids all night long.

So, let's being. Starting weight: 77 kg, one month target: 73 kg
