Thank you, Allie.

I am mid-forties and child-free by choice. Life has been a rollercoaster ride so far! Chronic health issues currently cramping my style.

My life(style) mirrors that of my favourite aunt, who was diagnosed type 2 diabetes in her late fifties. With shades of my other aunt who was diagnosed with vascular dementia in her early seventies. So plenty of time to ‘clean up my act’ right?

Not at the rate I was changing from a pear-shape to an apple-shape. Several inflammatory conditions flaring up. I likely have early stage fatty liver, but am three and a half weeks into reversing that (no alcohol).

How do I know? I studied and worked in healthcare for decades!

Having read and followed Michael Mosley’s ‘Clever Guts Diet’ previously, I recently bought the ‘Fast 800 Diet’ book and have just ordered the ‘Fast 800 Recipe Book’. The underlying principles of a balance and variety of nutrient-dense wholefoods and being physically active I am very familiar with from my ‘previous life’.

Objectives: Stop trashing my liver and pancreas, reduce systemic inflammation, resolve nutrient deficiencies, get back to a healthy size/ shape/ bodyfat. I cannot achieve any of this without targeting my blood glucose-insulin levels.

Currently: Reorganizing and transitioning my kitchen from ‘moderate carb wholefood diet’ to ‘lower carb Mediterranean diet’.
