Okay, so I've fully ended the original diet, and I'm starting a new one from Sunday. I've moved away from the full crash diet anyway for about the last 3 weeks. The new diet will reflect the fact that since I'm not working at the moment (yay!) breakfast can now be my biggest meal and dinner can be the smallest.
So the old breakfast: bowl of ceral with skim milk (or sometimes toast with a glass of skim milk) is now gone (or rather will be from Sunday on).
New breakfast:
2x Eggs
Bacon
1 slice of toast with margarine
Mushroom
498 calories (scrambled eggs) or 410 calories (fried eggs)
+ Glass of skim milk (118 calories)
Total: 616/528 calories (variants as above).
Lunch will also be around 500-600 calories.
Dinner will be around 300-400 calories.
I'll also allow for another 200-300 calories of snacks between breakfast and dinner, so the aim now is to get:
1800 calories daily.
For this reason, starting next week I'll have to begin doing more resistance exercises. 60 burpies and 20 pushups 3 times a week isn't going to cut it. I'm thinking 60 burpies, 30 pushups, 1-2 minutes of hyper dumbbell squats 3 times a week (it is really really difficult just to do 1min, I'm not even sure I can do a continuous minute yet since I haven't done them in a while, but I'll work on it). 3 days of bench and other dumbbell upper-body/back/neck/tricep exercises. I don't plan on getting a gym membership, so I'll use workouts that I can do at home with the equipment I have, or with other equipment I can easily buy (maybe I could buy a skipping rope for instance).

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
