I'm undecided where to go from here.
I think I'll get a pizza tonight though. I'm still on holiday from work so fuck it.

Andy's a bariatric surgeon, and he was motivated to write the book from 20 odd years of talking to morbidly obese patients who had persistently failed to lose weight, and their experiences with the diet industry.
The book's not trying sell anything, but is a summary of a lot of research into the connection between diet, exercise and weight loss.
I've chatted at length with Andy about the book, and in my opinion, as someone who use to teach nutrition to undergraduates, it's a well-researched piece of work.
Of course many people will still swear by the latest celebrity diet book published by the runner up in 2007's Britain's Got X Factor but there you go.......
wow! Amazing stuff mate, that's superb.
I think the main thought through this thread is that nothing will work unless it is something that you are comfortable with and happy to adopt as a lifestyle. Anything other than this is a fad and doomed to failure.
On the subject of sweet stuff - these things are seductive and definitely habit forming. We consciously ditched buying biscuits and choc, and no-one seems to miss it at all. Whereas before, it was dead easy (and nice) to pop a biscuit down the chute with a brew. For no particular reason.
Then again, the Raramuri of Mexico seem to subsist mostly on corn, so who bloody knows?
Edit: I know a Brazilian guy who is well into keto and triathlons. He's very healthy in a bony kind of way.
My feedback thread is here.
The Vegan / Keto thing is going to be hard to balance. If you look at the most nutritional foods it's going to be pretty low carbohydrate, or at least significantly lower than the recommended NHS Eatwell diet.
I've been doing keto for 3.5 weeks now.
I've gone from 93kg to 88kg.
Still keto and 42kg/6.5 stone down now. I'm even enjoying the gym (especially now it's open again)!
