Going on a diet!

Last Wednesday was November 11th. Here, in France, this is a national holiday, when we remember and commemorate the soldiers who died during the Great War (how could anyone call it that?) in other words, WW1.

During lunch in Montuel, Brigitte, one of Thierry's sisters, and a nurse, mentioned a diet: the fat and starch diet. She told me that I could loose quite a lot of weight in a short time on this diet. In fact you can eat but you should avoid eating fats and starch together. Seems quite easy but when I come to cooking nearly everything I make includes a mixture of the two.

Lasagnes, mmmmmmm, I love it - it's a no no! Minced beef (fats, lipides) and pasta (starch, glucides)! Although if you make a vegetable lasagne without a bechemel sauce (milk=lipide (fat) that should be OK but how do you make the sauce without milk?

I have also decided to eat differently. Like most of us I work and lunch is short so usually I eat some raw vegetables covered in mayonaise, and some frozen meal thing. I am eating a real meal at midday, keeping to meat (lipides) and veg and then in the evening I am having something like a soup where there are vegetables and perhaps either ham (lipide) or potato (glucide). In short as I said before you should not mix lipide and glucide so it a green veg and one of the two!! I think that is it!!

Of course I have been told also to cut down on the wine but that will come later. Anyway, I have lost 1300 grams since Wednesday.

I just want to loose 7 kilos as according to the thing on this site, I am overweight!!!
