5.6 this morning and a boring day ahead as I have to write mini 'how-to' manuals. I love all the paintings that are being shown, talented bunch you are
Most farriers seem to have that same upper body shape of broad shoulders and huge arms, well at least by us.Oh my goodness! That looks like Prince's farrier shoeing Prince!
That sounds like a really interesting experiment. A brilliant idea to use the CGM then as it will give you so much information on what is happening.Protein, smotein already BTW, I don't/won't post in what have you eaten today anymore but have gone native a little and signed up to the DD keto 2 month plan - will try when we move; will also try a CGM then. Idea is to test my doubts/cynicism to destruction.
Edited to make last word more tasteful
Your experiment is looking even more interesting. I have read somewhere (or watched a video) that fibre in our diet isn't necessary but I haven't ever experimented with almost no fibre. Will be really interested to hear how you get on.Has anyone else ever followed a Diet Doctor meal plan? I just checked what they sent me and 2 things struck me. Portion sizes look stupidly small and almost no fibre - severe transit issues worries me. Not holding out much hope of being able to last this for long but completely understand how people lose weight on these plans. Absolutely nothing in the plan I wouldn't eat but I suspect I will be starving by end of day 2. How did you guys who tried this manage?
I loved this cartoon.

Have a good hospital appointment @DJC35.9 after no food at all yesterday. Abdo pain has dulled to a mere twinge so should manage the tube trip to the Royal Marsden ok.
Many thanks to all who have sent me good wishes, @Muddy Cyclist and @PenguinMum this morning. I’ll let you know later how it goes. It’s such a fabulous place, I get the scan in the morning and see my consultant Mr Strauss in clinic in the afternoon, very efficient. I always see him, never an underling and he is such a wonderful chap, never fails to make me feel optimistic. We have abbreviated his name in the family Whatsapp group to LMS ( Lovely Mr Strauss) we are all under his spell!
Today my middle daughter can’t come with me, Mr C is coming but she has accompanied me to every visit so far, so she feels a bit like my version of a footballer’s lucky pants. Daft to be superstitious I know.
Seems to be, like diet and bg control, No 2s and fibre are a very N=1 experience/treatment. The chia seeds, unground flaxseeds, inulin and as much fibre as I can eat plus exercise is all that stops transit being the most horrendous (and novel) experience. DD meal plans not filling me with excitement from that aspect. Good to hear you are back safely and had a great time.a book of No2's..to look at...:***:
glad yours are good.
i found for me the loo breaks () are fewer apart.
and what was once a day easy, is now every other.
wee, yep, that's as was.
i did read chia seeds give the fibre if needed, i went celery and veggies myself.
plus the flax seeds bread and rolls help me out
agree also read fibre not so necessary as we get enough as it is
Not sure Kellogg would agree with their marketing team depending on all the extra "roughage"
to help them sell their enhanced natural goodness flakes of wholesomeness.
I think that your diet does qualify as low fibre.My diet at the moment is meats, cheeses, fish, eggs, nuts. I may have a tiny bit of dried fruit and double cream. I drink tea and coffee. I don't eat any vegetables apart from a little red onion if I have beef broth.
I think that equates to very little fibre. Does it?
I have no problems with Number 2's with this way of eating.
Last time I saw the continence nurse, recently, she showed me a chart of photographs of Number 2's?!?!? Blimey.
Which one are you she said?
I pointed to one. That one I said.
Perfect, the continence nurse said, now keep on eating all your vegetables and fibre and potatoes and you will have perfect Number 2's.
I don't think so. I kept my mouth shut about my diet. If I eat what she suggests for 'perfect' Number 2's I would be in agony with tummy pains and constipated.
I don't need fibre.
