Sunday's intake: B: Tea, coffee L: Hot dog (was with a minor Canasta at school fair) D: Roast chicken, salad, small piece of baguette to mop up olive oil; Turkish yoghurt (from Lidl or Netto) with nuts and berries. Piece of 75% chocolate Without prompting, my two teenage boys now regularly...

Neither do I - go for full-fat Greek yoghurt with berries and some nuts (really quick), or eggs (boiled, fried, poached, as omelette.

Tuesday's intake: B: Cup of tea; Greek yoghurt with assorted berries, linseed mix, handful of nuts L: Chilli con carne (no rice or bread); apple D: Family Canasta were chowing down on bangers and mash, so I opted instead for half a red pepper (cut into strips) and tbsp of hummus, followed by...

I agree pretty much with all the above comments. Some days I skip breakfast; some days I don't, depending on how hungry I feel. What I've found useful, though, is using mini-fasting like this as a way of stabilising weight/maintaining weight loss. If I discover I've put on a pound or two I find...

Thanks, Devonbear. I'm a hopeless baker, but Mrs Canasta is very good. I've tried - with some success - to wean myself off desserts in general, but I do occasionally hanker for a slice of cheesecake. Could you, perhaps, post the recipe on this thread? I'm sure there are plenty of others who...

Thanks, bb.

Like you, I find it difficult to find the time needed to source and try out complex recipes, so simple suits me best (in most things in life). Bear in mind that I had no other pre-existing medical conditions (apart from pre-D) before changing the way I eat, so if you do, take medical advice...

Yesterday's menu: B: Cup of tea Mid-morning: Coffee, handful of mixed nuts L: Tinned sardines with bean salad; apple; piece of 75% chocolate D: Sml slice of melon with one slice of prosciutto; pan-fried cod loin, green salad; pear with matchbox-sized slice of extra mature cheddar

Thanks, Deb. Will check it out today.

No, you won't, I'm sure. Have a hearty breakfast and you'll be back on track. I'm aiming for some kind of 'serene' today. :)

Where do you get CoYo, Deb (if I may call you that without seeming too presumptuous)?

Now that is the diet of a zen master...:)

B: Cup of tea L: Half a green pepper (capsicum) cut into strips with which to scoop hummus into my gaping maw. Followed by tinned mackerel fillets with 4-bean salad and a small amount of extra mature cheddar. Pear. (I was hungry, as I'd spent the morning painting a stage set for my local am-dram...

Hmm...thought not.

I am always dubious about any claim that contains the phrase, 'it stands to reason', so perhaps you could explain the biochemical processes at work?

The real eye-opener for me was discovering the extent of the relationship between junk-food producers and senior scientists whose work is partly the basis for the current guidelines, and who act as advisers to government on obesity and nutrition. I followed the trail and came up with this...

Mosley's 8WBS Diet works. I started it in Jan 2016 after a diagnosis of pre-D and had similar aims - lose 2 st, reduce A1c, etc. I'm a male in my late 50s in a sedentary occupation. Four months on and I've hit my target weight (9st 3 lbs) and got pretty much all readings down to the 'normal'...

Great news, supergirthuk, and well done you. I had my own 3-month follow-up appointment a couple of weeks ago (diagnosed pre-D in late Jan 2016 and started the 8-week blood sugar diet after reading Michael Mosley's book), and results were as follows: Weight - 9st 4 lbs (130 lbs) as opposed to...
