💰 Cost Comparison: Homemade vs Takeaway Dinners (Australia)

1️⃣ Flame-Grilled Chicken Dinner
Homemade: 150 g chicken breast ($1.65) + 200 g mixed veg ($0.80) + ½ sweet potato ($0.60) = ~$3.05 total.
Takeaway: Nando’s ¼ PERi-PERi chicken ($10.95) + regular sweet potato chips ($5.95) = ~$16.90 total.
➡️ The home-cooked version saves about $14 per meal and delivers higher protein, fewer oils, and much less sodium.

2️⃣ Mexican Bowl
Homemade: Grilled chicken breast (150 g = $1.65) + salad greens & mixed veg ($1.00) + small serve of rice ($0.50) + 2 tbsp store-bought salsa and low fat sour cream ($0.70) = ~$3.85 total.
Takeaway: Zambrero Classic Bowl = ~$18.40.
➡️ The home version is about one-fifth the price and lets you control oils, sauces, and macros.

3️⃣ Fish & Veg Dinner
Homemade: 150 g white fish fillet ($1.80) + large serve of steamed veg ($1.00) = ~$2.80 total.
Takeaway: Typical ready-to-heat fish meal = ~$9–$12.
➡️ You save $7–$9 while getting fresher protein and less added fat.

🔍 Key Takeaways
• Healthy, home-cooked dinners cost roughly $3–$4, compared with $10–$20 for equivalent takeaway meals.
• That’s a 3–6× price difference for similar calories, but homemade meals are cleaner, higher in protein, and more supportive of fat-loss goals.
• Buying small extras like salsa or frozen veg keeps meals convenient while still budget-friendly.
• Consistency with home cooking not only supports better nutrition—it can save $80–$100 per week for anyone replacing daily convenience or takeaways.

I just watched a doctor promoting fasting for weight loss!
Fasting isn’t magic, it just helps some people eat less.
When calories and protein are matched, fat loss is about the same whether you fast, eat low-carb, or follow regular meals.

📊 What the research shows:
• A 2024 meta-analysis (28 trials) found intermittent fasting ≈ daily calorie restriction for weight & health results.
• A 12-month NEJM trial: time-restricted eating (8-hour window) = same fat loss as normal eating.
• A newer 4:3 fasting RCT showed a slight edge (~2 % more weight lost)—mostly from better adherence, not metabolism.
• Meal timing/frequency changes alone = tiny effect unless they help you control intake.
• Low-carb vs low-fat? Same story—equal calories → equal fat loss.

💪 Bottom line:
The best “diet” is the one you can stick to.
If fasting keeps you consistent and under calories, great.
If you prefer structured meals, that’s just as effective.
Prioritise protein (1.6–2.2 g/kg), train hard, stay in a deficit, and the fat comes off, fasting or not.

Don’t have time to mealprep?
Your priorities are wrong if your serious about your results.

Awesome final result with 4 gold medals (among others) at YNF and NBA at the weekend for client Kyle, prep is always difficult but adding to the mix being over 40 and type 1 diabetes; Kyle was an absolute legend to work with 💪.

While competing may not be for everyone, you will never push yourself more mentally and physically than stepping in stage. 💪😎

A recent study from the University of Bath has raised important concerns about the long-term health effects of the ketogenic diet. Over a four-week period, 53 adult participants followed a strict keto protocol and lost an average of 1.6 kilograms of body fat. While the short-term weight loss was clear, researchers observed a 16% increase in LDL cholesterol and a 26% rise in apolipoprotein B—both strongly linked to increased cardiovascular risk.

The study also revealed a reduction in beneficial gut bacteria, hinting at potential downsides for digestive health. These findings suggest that while keto may be effective for fat loss, it could compromise heart and gut health if sustained long term. Health experts recommend closely monitoring cholesterol markers and moderating fat sources when adopting a ketogenic lifestyle.

❌ Yes you can, these are the reasons according to science. 1 is probably the cause for most people.

📆 You need to track your foods or stick to a well calculated plan and not deviate.

💪 Stick to the plan, trust the process, be the best you can.

Do you need to stick to precise macros for your whole journey? Probably not if you want to stick to it!

Low carb diets work for a reason, no matter which one, although most aren’t great if you want to keep or put on muscle
