It's working so far

the aim is 500g a week minimum and so far I've exceeded that during the 3 weeks I've been on the plan.
Weight training is good fun. I tend to stick to Kettle bells as it's both cardio and weights plus I have a really bad shoulder so find light weight exercises better. I try to do cycling, jogging and walking as my main cardio but find that is very good for shredding weight as well due to increasing muscle the longer and faster I go.
But yes, I try to at least have a couple of rest days between weights to let the soreness subside
I find I eat a lot of whole grains, fruit, yoghurt etc, more than anything. I can't eat red meat or chicken so am a bit limited! I am more than comfortable to eat light during the day but night time is my weakness. I'm likely to grab for bread the most, I have a weird pallet where I could just eat some bread for dinner and be happy. A bad habit to make though!
Am trying to substitute with easy vege meals. I make a mean cauliflower soup

which as you say has next to know value

- I also make an excellent bean burrito with salad which is always good!
