All the best Jan

I often wonder where all the food went from my HCLF days. I used to have to eat, or snack, every couple of hours, but I never put on weight until after the dietician got a hold of me.

What I eat now may be more expensive but I eat far less of it. As an old fart I no longer pay prescription charges but even so I have deleted my statin, H2 blocker and antidepressant. If I'd known then what I know now the NHS could have avoided wasting a whole bunch of money on antidotes to the diet.
