The diet isn’t 100% effective yet… I’m still trying to cut everything out but it isn’t so easy 🙂
On a theme… I’m sure some of the problems are caused by a food intolerance. Yes last time the pneumonia caused a lot of problems and I ended up eating crap again, but I was already on the way down when I got it. I’m *still* convinced I’m either gluten intolerant… or there’s some problem with me eating wheat based products anyway because I seem to dive into a mega depression when I eat them and it takes such a long time to pull myself out again.
Having said that.. I can pinpoint *exactly* when the diet failed last time. I was the day after the Easter Show and we’d had a barbecue… I didn’t eat must more than normal, but maybe I had a burger or cheap sausage or similar that had something ‘bad’ in there because I immediately began to struggle!
The *last* time I was able to pull it off was when I did my Masters back in 1990. And now I look back I can see why. I’d all bar stopped eating bread and cakes etc. and was 100% vegetarian. We lived on mostly legumes and assorted vegetables… as you do :).
And yet… we had a friend who had an Indian restaurant and I used to eat tons of rice… yet my weight dropped to normal and I was full of energy… even to the extent of being able to jog etc!! So it’s not as simple as it sounds.
Maybe this time with a little more insight I might manage to keep on top of it. I suppose all I can do is hope…
