Diet ++

As I logged onto the Runkeeper application website last night it became clear that my weight had not been accurately set. This means that unfortunately the calories that the Runkeeper application assured me I was burning away in the last two weeks whilst exercising were too optimistic

Now all is reset accurately I need to focus back on the question as to how Agata and I will actually begin to lose weight. To start from the premis: Getting heavier/fatter if

Calories IN > Calories Out + Exercise Calories

So it is time to save some money and buy some heathier foods whilst at the same time cutting down on the deliciously tasty but often calorie laden indulgence food.

I think in the prosperous West we should all reflect on the possible fractions of a day, and for some the fractions even of an hour which can earn us enough money to feed us for an entire week.

With almost an infinity of choice, the 365 day per year availability of what was once seasonal fruits and vegetables, we have now more than ever to decide what we should be eating, not just what we can be eating.

And so on our new diets, which we hope will bring our recent weight gains down:



  • A further reduction on the amount of red meat or fat laden dry meats


  • Let the wine isles be territory that shall be temporarily unchartered
(This will save us a fortune!)


  • Let our shopping basket contain more green objects, more sugar free or low sugar objects

  • Chocolate and Ice Cream are also now banished from our daily menu

So the daily exercise is set to continue, the Diet moves to Diet++ and Agata and Marcus will try to remove at least 3 kilograms each, not including any cheaty water weightloss.
