Getting Fit and Healthy


MrShoestring still has 11lbs to lose to reach target weight after putting on quite a bit at the start of the year. I got this book out of the library to help him and we liked it so much that I've ordered a copy to keep.

The book is all about what this GP noticed in his surgery when he started giving lifestyle advice rather than handing out prescriptions, he reckons 75% of the problems he sees are caused by lifestyle rather than actual illness. A great deal of what he says seems to make sense, so for the next few weeks MrShoestring will be cutting out sugar, eating more vegetables, relaxing and moving more ! With a bit of luck those last few pounds will come off and then we can start encouraging others to try a bit more healthful living !

  3. My diabetic DH has finally decided to take my advice after watching a Ted talk and adopt a different lower carb approach to his diet. Halleluiah! Why did it take so long-I think everyone needs to have some kind of epiphany of their own, and then get started. Mine was in January 2016 and I steadily lost 3 stone mainly thanks to Michael Mosely’s advice. I’m creating as many meals as I can from scratch and nearly fainted today when he actually put hummus in the trolley when we were shopping. Fingers crossed.
