What got you here won’t get you there
An important lesson I’ve learnt in life, that applies most especially to weight loss, is “what got you here won’t necessarily get you there”. This week my weight loss stalled for the first time since I began. I have seen my weight go up on occasions, like last week’s business trip to Paris where I…

Keto(ish!) Korean air fried chicken!馃い馃構
I had to share this recipe; it was incredibly tasty and ready in about 15 minutes using the air fryer. I spotted the Schwartz ‘Air-Fry Spicy Korean BBQ Seasoning’ in my local Tesco, and since Korean fried chicken is something I鈥檝e really missed, I had to give it a go. It鈥檚 worth noting that the…

Stop! Fast! Lessons in electrolytes and limits
Well鈥攖hat escalated quickly! I thought I was just fighting a scratchy throat, but this evening took a serious turn. After a series of coughing fits, I actually fainted on the sofa during a particularly strong cough! For some context, my type 2 diabetes was originally “announced” two years ago by serious hypertension. At its worst,…

As I’ve been doing so well with my weight loss I decided to treat myself with tacos this evening, but I found a way to keep them completely diabetic friendly, and I have to say I was very impressed with myself! They were utterly delicious. The taco shells were always going to be the “worst”…

The dangers of food delivery!
Is it just me, or did Covid make it far too easy to order takeaway? With almost every restaurant available on Deliveroo or Just-Eat, along with those who already have their own fleet of delivery motor scooters, we now see almost every type of food available at our fingertips, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, groceries, booze.…

21 hr fast today
I’m keeping up the fasting momentum although I’ve taken a couple of rest days exercise-wise. Just walking today, about 6,000 steps. My fasting target today was just 18hrs, but as ever I played it by ear and in the end fasted 21 hrs quite comfortably. I’ll set a target for another 18hrs tomorrow but just…

36hr fast – back with a blast!
Yesterday I kick-started my fasting with an OMAD (one meal a day) fast, basically I just ate lunch – an omelette – in the early afternoon. After my bike ride in the evening, I was a bit hungry but by the time I’d had a bath and chilled, I was honestly feeling more tired than…
