I've had an interest in food/nutrition since my teens & recently a friend put me on to the work of Dr Michael Greger.

I've tried it more or less (yes I know that's the problem) consistently with zero effect, probably because I have completely stopped swim training and sit at my job for 15 hours a day. I'd better buy the book I think.

But the book does give you an easy to use meal planner depending on whether you choose to have 2 or 3 meals per day. It also has the new ideas about fast exercise and the extended overnight fasting, which can probably also find on Mosley's website or by watching his various programs.Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-89735361129155423072020-03-13T03:08:09.641+11:002020-03-13T03:08:09.641+11:00Oh, this is interesting.

I liked my results and kept it up for quite a while but over the last stressful year or two I have gained a bit of weight. Just enough for my clothes to fit badly. I have been thinking about doing it again and even tried it for a week but this time around I am struggling with the 500 calorie restriction. I didn't know it had been changed. 800 sounds much more manageable. Is it worth me buying the book or is it enough for me to know the number is different?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878149675832228998noreply@blogger.com
