Hi Anne and Satine,
It's certainly a lesson in listening to my own body and not taking notice of other people's opinions. The next person who says anything will be told to try it for themselves before they knock it!

In the book I started off with 'Life without bread' there's a really good explanation of how the body deals differently with carb metabolism. I read it and it made sense and yet STILL I let someone talk me into doing something that I wasn't sure of.

It makes you think how much the negative publicity is scaring people away from something potentially life changing. It's very irresponsible of the scaremongers to do that with so little knowledge.

Anyway, I know the pounds and inches will go, I've just set myself back a bit.

All the best
Alison
