The boss has been warned that she is pre-diabetic. She's quite alarmed by this and determined to fix it with diet. She's not overweight but it is implied I think that she has 'internal fat' which can usefully be offloaded so a revised diet is indicated.
I, on the other hand, am maybe 12Kg overweight with a BMI of 28 (on a good day). So I have decided to join in, which will certainly make meal planning easier.
I sent off for Michael Mosley's 8 week blood sugar diet. Basically it's calories, and cutting out unnecessary carbs. Can't burn fat when you are shovelling in more easily accessible carbs apparently.
The soup maker has become the symbol of the new regime. Our son gave us one a while back, its time has now come. Today I made cream of celery. Best so far has been smoky bacon and red lentils.
I only weigh myself about every 20 minutes. Seem to have lost 1Kg in 4 days but that's probably just noise. For now I am subsisting on 1,000 cals a day.
I don't actually feel hungry now. I just really really want to eat a pork pie.
