I caved in. I quit the diet on Saturday night. I have not tried strictly enough nor long enough to know if it was effective. I did not get worse when I started eating starch again, which is something.
What I can say for sure that I will never look at food in the same way again. I cannot bring myself to eat things like hot chips or potato crisps, nor do I feel the need to eat bread. I will continue eating salads for lunch and try to keep my breakfast no or low starch. I will not eat potatoes as often as I used to either. And will eat more veggies and fruit.
So that's a positive, and the fact that I know that I have been able to (kind of) do this for 2 months and can do it again if I want to try at a later stage.
Thanks all for your encouragement and understanding. I will keep visiting here to follow your journeys.
