So yesterday I read the book and today I started the diet. Tomorrow I have a gym induction and Friday I have docs appointment to discuss meds (coming off anti-depressants) and other stuff.

It was shopping day so I have written up a rough week menu and went shopping. I now have in my fridge things I’ve never even eaten before, like asparagus and spinach leaves. My fridge is packed to the brim. I also, and this was so hard to do, threw out all pasta and other nasty stuff that’s no good for me.

I’ve started a food diary and feel very positive and proud of me.

I shall keep you all informed as to how I get on.

Thanks so much for this site and the book.

Welcome Loukc. You’ll find lots of support and advice on here. Looking forward to hearing your progress.

You’ve certainly planned a full week of life changing life changes Loukc! I love that feeling of making a new you! When you take control of one area of your life you often feel better about other areas too. So I think your bsd journey is going to have a really positive impact on your emotional well being too. All the best. Keep us updated.

I’m already loving the food. Had bacon and broccoli stir fry and wow it was lovely. I’ve never stir fried broccoli before and was worried it would taste like under cooked veg, but to my surprise it was so nice. I added crushed chilli and Cayenne pepper and a handful of flaked almonds which I thought I didn’t like, but stir fried it all went together well.

It’s given me more confidence to try other stuff now.

Hi loukc you have inspired me to try that brocolli bacon stir fry 🙂

Awwww that’s good let me know what you think?

This morning I made a shake of cup of spinach, blueberries, almonds, Greek yoghurt and water and put it in the blender. I managed to drink it all and it was kinda weird tasting, not bad but just weird lol, after drinking it I was unsure if I was going to keep it down, but managed it. Lunch I had portebello mushrooms and beans sprinkled with mozzarella and of course Cayenne pepper, love that stuff.
