Covid-19 pound weight loss

Ok so it's been since Tuesday morning of last week and it's soon 11 days after initial illness after I sleep tonight, it being around bedtime now. So coming on 11 days sick. Hoping to get back into the swing of things on day thirteen, Monday.

I have shed a whopping 19 pounds, to put it the American (pre 1969 Australian way). 19 pounds! Imagine how much weight that was to carry around everyday plus how taxing it was on my backbone, heart, muscles in general. I mean I had pretty good cardiovascular health, a lot better than now. But all that fat was just horrible really. Even my little daughters, 7 & 5 were calling me a fat pig on a regular basis in the most matter of fact terms that it could not be reasonably refuted. (Ie telling them to 'shut up you dopey trashbags' would have been grossly inappropriate and injust.)

I'm definitely not in six pack territory however if I can lose another fifteen pounds that's going to be fairly slim and trim. Not sure how I would maintain that but really it's all about portion control. Just eat half a lemon and drink tea all day.

One thing that was grossly wrong was drinking half a gallon of milk like everyday in coffees. That's too much milk: half a gallon a day, however this has been normal behavior for me in Australia, at least two pints a day. I did not do this in China, America, Spain, France, Bulgaria, South Korea. It's definitely a bad 'stay-at-home' habit that I have to stop. I need to avoid milk almost altogether. The way cows are constantly kept pregnant in industrial settings, to produce more milk just seems wrong and unhealthy.

I do not care to give up meat, however as a practicing Muslim I suppose I can eschew all non halal red and white meat. Normal healthy portions for me are like one hamburger a day, with an egg and meat, some cheese, maybe a very small side of vegetables. Then just snack on some fruit or nuts, something light.

Covid 19 has been an absolute God send so far as it has arrested my greedy appetite.

I need to avoid processed foods/sugar. No yoghurt from the supermarket (criminal sugar), no soft drinks (too much sugar). No coke Zero (bloating/stretching). Stop drinking coffee at all just switch to tea all day with lemon and honey. I can totally do this. I have been fasting or eating super light for almost eleven days now and feeling great! So much weightloss. Being a fatty sux.
