I started the day after my hen party so after a weekend of heavy drinking and cheese eating pleasantly surprised to be starting at 9.06. However weight fluctuates so much after drinking alcohol as can make you weigh less due to dehydration.  I am not following a specific plan really just things that have been recommended by friends, the NHS website and any other dieting website which are offering high protein diets. My friend recommended 30% carbs, 30% fat and 40% protein each day. As I am logging everything on My Fitness Pal this works out the ratios for me and today I was pretty much spot on! Not sure how easy it will be to maintain that every day though.
