Not wishing to make you feel bad Monty, but we had nicoiśe salad late afternoon and a supper of pasta & smokey bacon tomato sauce tonight. (Been to school show early evening)
Yeah loads of things, had a beef curry with dhal last night which admittedly was a bit odd with out the rice and bread. Basically most meat and vegetables.
Must admit though I caved in tonight and had a rice noodle stir fry and a bottle of wine.
The idea behind it is the first week you don't eat any processed sugar, natural sugar in fruit or carbs that your body turns into sugar. Then over a few weeks you start introducing them but in much smaller quantities than before. Have to say 3 days in and already I feel much less sluggish.
I was drinking around 150g of sugar a day just in coffee before. Or 27 2Kg bags a year!
Chuff me that's about what my wife weighs. I've been drinking a small adult in sugar every year, just in coffee!
Actually that was a really cheap meal. The salmon came from our local fish vanman (£2 each) and we buy our veg from a local wholesaler so the whole meal only cost around £2.50 each. That's less than a Tesco sandwich.
