Lots of food for thought on this diet (pardon the pun).
For example, on our housing estate, the houses on the estate own the roadways so of course each home has to pay for their upkeep. A couple of days ago a family from 'hell' (I am sure you may have met them) moved on. Where their cars had been parked (for months on end) on the roadway, they left huge thick dark oil patches. Amazingly a neighbour cleaned the dark oil with refined cooking oil! It reminded me of when I was a kid, sitting on the side of roadway on a hot summers day, popping tar bubbles from the tarmac. It was great fun and our hands were really filthy - after getting a good telling off from mum, she massaged butter into our tarred hands - this diluted the tar and we were able to wash our hands clean.
In a not so far fetched way - isn't this what we are doing on Atkins. We are using fat to get rid of the stored fat in our bodies.
It all makes a lot of sense now lol.
Next week I have decided to experiment with about 5 g's of almonds everyday to help give me a bit of fibre. Will of course keep the other food I am consuming to 12-15 g of veg carbs. I am sure my total carbs will go above 25 carbs, but maybe under the 20 net carbs the book advises.
It's a journey of experimentation. Have a good Sunday!
