I've not been reading too much into the calorific side of things but have managed to eliminate the carbs...mostly.
the other week, my dinner consisted of broccoli and cauliflower
It's a bit hit and miss but I've noticed a few signs of progress - walking fatigue, dizziness, bad breath and much smaller stools
As for the grog, that's Saturdays and Sundays only None on a Friday night is tough though

I know I've picked the wrong time of the year to do so though - roast tatties, pies, mash etc. but am pleased to know I possess a modicum of willpower
Coming up to a month at which point I'll knock it on the head and revisit during the salad period...when we have a new manager
