[QUOTE="Meggy, post: 152881, member: 29011"] Hi Gef I'll use that name because you don't like your own, lol. My dad is called Gilbert and he detests it, and when he met my mum, she was with her cousin and he said his name begins with G and they had to guess it. She said Geoff and he said that would to, and to this day my mum's side of the family call him Geoff, lol. I was thinking you must be some kind of monster, creating mayhem wherever you go. Never mind, lol. I saw my dietitican today, the nice lady, not the eejit. She said it might be an idea to get a kidney function test because of low carbing. She says she is supposed to tell me to eat carbs, but she knows it would be a waste of time so she won't, lol. I said I've not long had one and it was okay so she's happy with that. I take supplements as well, and cod liver oil and evening primrose and something else I can't think of right now, :D I love the diet, though like the man in the article, I sometimes think it's too good to be true and it feels a bit naughty, which I don't mind, :) .
