The Mediterranean Diet that is. It was recommended to G by his endocrinologist as good for diabetics as it regulates all your insulin production, etc, and obviously you lose weight too. I signed up to eDiets.com and have a plan of what I'm allowed to eat all week. I started this morning & I seem to have eaten for England so far. I had oatmeal with some wheatgerm and almonds stirred in, followed by a ton of yoghurt, followed by an apple... and that was just breakfast. Lunch was some brown rice / fish / veggie concoction followed by a forest worth of spinach salad that I just couldn't eat, and now I'm meant to eat a cup of Strawberries. I never eat that much in the first half of the day so I"ve really struggled to get it all down me!
Separately to the diet I've come off Caffeine. The diet doesn't say I have to but as my boobs were really bloody hurting I figured I really didn't have a choice. Plus obviously I'm something of a slave to it so coming off free's me up somewhat. I did have one cup yesterday morning but nothing else all day and by 2pm I had a stonking headache. Today I've had decaf and my head is pounding a good'un.
Ugh.
Why oh why can't we eat sweets and chocolate and cakes and they be good for us!
