Not a newspaper I normally read but the Daily Mail has an interesting article on eggs here. A large part of my diet is made up of eggs and it seems amazing that they've been so demonised in the past. It seems utterly bizarre to me that the advice we get to eat grains and the like is right. Vegetables and meat and eggs - yes I get those but fruit - although lovely - does spike your body to produce insulin. This article mentions milk is OK but I can't see that as it also produces an insulin reaction in the body. I imagine it wasn't generally available to man until after he started farming although, who knows, maybe they kept a few around?
So far I'm feeling pretty good on this diet and getting ever closer to dipping under 16 stone - it's the thickness of the needle at the moment :-) but I can see progress which is also great. Next week will be a challenge in Italy but I reckon if I stay off the Pasta and the Bread I could get through without too much damage. I know what I can eat and although I may end up with the odd beer here and there I can stick pretty much to the low carb diet.
