I am 92 years old and have been overweight since my twenties, with dietary periods in between. Recently had digestive problems, often being sick. No reason could be found. Instead of taking antacids I started taking slippery elm two months ago and have not taken Gaviscon nor been sick since then, so decided to go on a healthy diet for health reasons. Not calorie counting but not eating any confectionary, dairy, meat or bread. Before June I could, and did, eat a whole box of chocolates in one evening.

After just two months I feel like a new person and look at least ten years less than 92. I find that I really enjoy this new way of eating and trying new recipes, creating interesting meals has given me a new interest.
