Hooray, lost nearly a pound, so I'm now just under 10 stone. Went lower on calories and did some exercise.
I'm going to try out the "five small meals" diet to see if it helps with my falling asleep after meals.
I've eaten melon for breakfast at 7.00 am and will probably try oatcake with almond butter mid-morning then egg and spinach for lunch, maybe mackerel and salad for dinner and something like yogurt, cheese and fruit during the evening.
Never done this before, so see how it goes.

Do keep us posted, Judy! It flies in the face of the philosophy of intermittent fasting, but every body is different, so it may be just the ticket for yours.

The advice my OH was given by a hospital cardiologist was to have a rest for 20 minutes after a meal, either sitting in a chair or lying down in bed. There's nothing wrong with a nap after meals, as far as I can tell. Your body is focusing on digesting. So far better to have a rest than trying to be up and at it. The UK workplace isn't ideal for resting after meals, but if your body says it needs you to nod off, maybe it has an idea of what's best for you. That said, I don't want to undermine your efforts.
