Pickled newbie here...

[TyTy]

have you tried the low carb diet

 

[Planetarygo]

I've started to limit everything now, cutting down to wholemeal, smaller portions etc I get bored so easily being a veggie but I'm learning, I'm just petrified that if I take too long to get things right I'll cause damage

 

[TyTy]

All will be ok, just takes time to get used to the change , I found it difficult. I followed the Newcastle diet for 20 days now starting to introduce normal food

 

[TyTy]

I ate plenty of vegetables for 20 days and was tough but worth while ,

I don't think I've heard of the Newcastle diet, I'll have a look
