Well,day one has nearly ended. I am missing my bread, but somehow managed to eat cereal,although I had it dry.

Had Ryvita as well.... it most be 40 years or more since I tried that well known brand of cardboard!!


Also had a tub of yoghurt, again another first..



Viv made me a lovely stir fry with my 4 portions of seasonal vegetables, almonds and beef.

No wine, though, but........

Recent article about the trial...

This was earlier this year. There are a lot more trial participants now...

This is a full body scan done today to measure total body fat and muscle mass, and of course the results confirm standard BMI results ...

What does this mean?

Well no bread,nor potato,even no sweet potato, nor corn.

Only two standard drink of alcohol a week!!

I get to eat things daily that I don't have now, like yoghurt and cereal!!!!!!!.

I guess the good thing is that I am doing it for my own good health and to be around longer for the people that love me and also I am doing it to improve the knowledge about human nutrition.
