My working diet - sanity check
I have been cutting weight and keeping things very simple for consistency.
For the past weeks, my diet has mostly been:
- beef (usually ~400g per day)
- eggs (2–3 per day)
- cabbage / cucumbers / simple vegetables (200~600g depending on type)
- water
- super occasional controlled carbs like potatoes
- rare treat meal (for example a pastry once in a while)
I also do daily cardio and some basic strength work.
The results have been good: weight is going down, body fat is improving, and I feel more in control compared to my old random eating habits.
However, my girlfriend says this is too repetitive, too meat-heavy, and not sustainable long term. She thinks “beef + eggs + cabbage every day” is too extreme and probably unhealthy.
So I wanted an outside opinion:
Is a simple high-protein repetitive cut like this reasonable for a few weeks/months, or is this too restrictive / unbalanced?
Would you keep it this way until goal weight, or start adding more variety earlier?
