Update - At Last

Hi there,

This is to let you know that I have been blogging on a new blogging site called Empower Network. Click on this link if you would like to know a little more.

However the reason for this note is to advise you to click on this link which will take you to a blog I wrote a few days ago and into which I added a couple of pictures. The old one was me before I started to  lose weight and the second was a couple of months ago whilst I was on a cruise in the Eastern Mediterranean.

My how times have changed haven't they? It was the High Protein Low Carbohydrate diet that definitely worked for me. It is not for everyone, I was talking to a friend who is Italian and under no circumstances could he ever envisage having a meal without pasta, yet that is one of the staple foods that is high in carbohydrates and so not allowed under this eating regime.

For me it worked. I was able to stick to it and lost the weight. I even found my tastes changing. At Christmas we did not restrict ourselves (that is my wife and I) but we found so of the so called 'goodies' that we had been looking forward to were a disappointment and we did not enjoy them at all. It shows how a lot of out likes and dislikes are learned and can be changed. Think about that for a while.

All the best.
