hi Antony

isn't it such a relief finding answers for things? I was astonished when I read Your Last Diet

I was sixteen and a half stone too so that made me smile ( as a 5'5" lady, but we have that in common ) along with trying everything under the sun, serial yo yo dieter.

Also been interested in nutrition and biology etc since I was very very young, but never found explanations there that fitted like the brain chemical story does

So very thankful about that. And it means I can use every bit of knowledge I have gained from a new perspective. I think you will love what your journal shows you later on! My old 'diet mentality' has gone so life is a lot more peaceful, I have a very close eye on what my journal tells me

but right now, breakfast. Whats macca powder, Antony? its a new one for me.... is it a complex carb thing? as we say, brown? I don't do much shake any more but I used to love raw porridge oats in it. Some people like cooked oats but I preferred raw....... or even better on the side, so shake and a muesli type concoction ( home made) or some mashed sweet potato/ butter was another old favourite
