That’s right, I knuckled down for a few weeks and broke the 160kg barrier!
My nutritionist gave me some more great food advice, and recommendations:
Kelp powder! It’s salty and a bit strange at first, but very good for you – I even add it to my shakes!
Flaxseed Oil: Full of Omega-3 and other exciting goodies. This goes in the shakes as well. The great thing about the shake is that the banana in it pretty much overrides every other flavour (how does banana do that?!). So now my shakes are: banana, milk, kelp powder, flaxseed oil, strawberries/blueberries, handfuls of lettuce and spinach. Sounds disgusting, looks disgusting, and tastes… ok. You get used to it. but wow, great energy kick!
I’m going to be trying Flor-Essence tea soon as it apparently cleanses toxins. And for lunch now I have raw broccoli & cauliflower with some almonds, for a bit of protein to help with the Wu Shu martial arts.
Now, you might think I’ve gone over to the other side, but I still love meat! Every Tuesday is my “night off” where I have a roast from one of those takeaway roast places, a few RTD drinks, a few chips. You gotta keep it real you know 
Oh and exciting things are happening with Saving Lucas! For a start – we’re making it completely free! I’ve been wanting to do that for ages but had to find a way to keep the business partners happy at the same time. So.. there will be a few banners on the site, but don’t worry. I’m a web designer – I hate ads and popups as much as you do, so we’ll keep them as unobtrusive as we can. Oh and we’re going to build in a lot more social features – where you can compete with your friends, or set up groups of friends to compete with each other, seeing who can meet their goals the most consistently. And I’m finding a way to be able to give something back, by rewarding you for meeting your goals. But the reward will benefit the world in some way – sponsoring a child in Africa, provide a well in a drought-stricken region, donating to charity… I’ll keep you up-to-date as it all plays out 
Hi Lucas,
Long time ago that I worked with you guys (we were Home Investments back then – that company with the complicated property calculator…)
Anyhow, I came accross your Saving Lucas site and just wanted to say I’m impressed and good luck! Very nice to see what you have done and what you have set up. Keep at it. I think the website is a great idea.
Have you thought about sending it to Close-up or TV3, Campbell Live?
The health and diabetes subject is so relevant and ‘hot’ at the moment. People need a ‘feel good’ story like this sometimes. I’m more than happy to contact mediaworks on your behalf – you just never know….
cheers,
Marjolein
Hi Marjolein! Long time no see
Yes i do plan to talk to Campbell Live once I’ve lost a bit more weight, and once we have the website fully finished – we’re currently working on finalising the design and the financial model and so on and once the site is rolling properly I’ll start promoting it
I hope all is well with you, we’re still ticking along with Digitalus
Cheers
Lucas
