I've eaten all today's food for breakfast. Never had to add food to try and make up calories - I added 20 olives, but it's still too low, but I'm stuffed.
I'm now fasting until tomorrow morning.
I do book reviews for netgalley.com it saves me a fortune on books, so I'm doing some hard core reading today.

One of the things I noted on the Truth about Carbs was that he gave a group of people a salt cracker to chew and asked them to put their hand up when the taste changed, sweet or anything, just change. Those for whom it changed after about 17 seconds could eat carbs (starcy, sugary) fairly freely, those from 20 - 30 seconds then reasonably and those, like me, who it didn't change for or tool longer to change needed to keep the starc & sugar to a minimum and stick to leafy green veg and some fruit.
Did you know that the starch in a baked potato turns to about 19 cubes of sugar - white rice the same.
They've done some research and found that if you cook rice, pasta, potatoes and then cool them and reheat the soluble starch - which turns to sugar - turns to insoluble starch which doesn't so much and helps prevent illness as your gut biome like it and are healthier.

I ate like crazy yesterday morning and then nothing since - nuts an apple and a banana so fairly healthy eating.

I've just been watching 'The Truth About Carbs' on BBC iplayer. I don't know if any of you have seen it, but if not, then I'd recommend it - if you can get BBC iplayer of course.
One good point is that if you're exercising for between 30 minutes and an hour then you can increase your performance by rinsing your mouth every 5 minutes for 10 seconds with sugar water and then spitting it out. It fools your brain into thinking that carbs are coming, which in turn tells your body it can work harder.
A good - and for me reaffirming programme. My in-laws who have always been sceptical about my views on carbs, now reckon they understand where I'm coming from - and agree with me.

As expected today I'm all achy so I'm spending my time sat on the bed with a very purry cat. He loves it when I'm here he'll spend the day just lying on my legs. This morning I've rearranged the freezers - we moved a small fridge with a tiny freezer on top and brought our big fridge freezer that we brought from Oldham into the house - it had been in the garage for the last 5 years, which is where the other one went. There is already a stand alone freezer in there - all full. I really need to lose the Northern mentality of keeping stuff in for bad weather. We shop online with Sainsbury's once a week and such is the stuff in the freezer we rarely use it. Except for meat - which we seem to have loads of which I buy from Heartier online - organic and British - and they keep giving me £20 off codes, so I just keep on buying.
Have a good one.
