Inspired by the fabulous Sarah Carter, a chiropractor at work ... I've decided it's time to lose the middle-age spread I've been steadily adding since I turned 40. I'm going low-carb or paleo or primal blueprint ... call it what you will, it seems it's the only option to losing weight while still eating well. I've been reading an amazingly educational blog by Mark Sisson and I've just been on a shopping spree to Natural Life in Dorchester with Sarah to stock up on seeds, nuts, coconut sugar, coconut oil and dried fruit. I've just made a batch of sort-of granola (without the grains) for emergency sugar cravings.
I'm feeling quite anxious about giving up the junk food and carbs but desperate times call for desperate measures. I'll keep blogging about how I get on. Today's meals: egg & bacon for brekkie (Honey and Henrietta will be on overtime!); big salad with seeds & avocado for lunch; steak and purple sprouting with blue cheese sauce for dinner tonight.
