Paul,
I've been eating eggs and bacon, lots of chicken in a delicious mustard sauce,
in other words lots of protein, and now I can eat as much vegetables as I like, just as long as nothing is cooked in oil. Last night mushrooms stuffed with cottage cheese, tomatoes and herbs, delicious! This morning fried eggs and bacon on an oat bran pancake, Yum!
I'm not a porker either, 173 cm, and I was 115 cm around the middle, I just got sick of the shape I was, and the thought of carrying around 12 kg less every step of the way suggested I would have more energy.
Another downside is that I'm going to need some smaller clothes, but there are quite a few Op shops around here!
Cheers
Chris
