Good stuff. Interesting how adaptable the body is, how it chooses the fuel source to burn based on diet and can switch.

The principle is similar to the paelo diet and similar to the traditional diet of desert Aboriginals.

Is there anything you really miss eating? If you go out and have the steak and salad, can you eat some of the chips?

Swam 1500m then did 20 clicks on the pushy.
Now, a porterhouse, rissole, snag & zucchini on the BBQ with another box of Swan Draught.

Agreed, if the choice is beer (and red wine) and being slightly overweight but happy, or no alcohol and being skinnier and not happy, simple choice for mine.

I did somewhere round an 800m swim yesterday, although mainly floating with the current probably doesn't count as strenuous exercise, nor would the 2 km walk to get to the beach and then home after the swim.
Was refreshing though.
