While I wait for my Tridec appointment at the Women’s College, my doctor has recommended I get the book The G.I. Diet for a good base of diabetic recepies and tips. I was really hoping for the book to be about getting a random snog from some bellbottom wearing stranger on the street. Sadly, no. It’s a borderline Adkins-esque diet guide that just happens to be all about Sugar/Fat-free eating, which we should be doing anyway. In a nutshell, you eliminate all sugars as best you can from your diet and at major meals you reduce your usual 1/3rd meat and carbs down to 1/4 each and increase leafy veg to 1/2.

Which has made me quite musical.

Especially after the Mixed Bean salad.

Coupled with going to the gym 4 times a week (doc says 5. Pffft!), I have lost 10 lbs in the last 15 days. And that ain’t water folks. I allow myself only one diet coke every 3 days or so and drink at least 3L of water a day now. No juice. Boring. I’ve boosted my vitamin intake and suddenly I am wearing pants I gave Sharkboy last year. Ta daaa!

Yesterday I was on the streetcar behind someone with a McDonalds bag. It was probably the closest I have ever come to nearly physically yearning for something other than sex. Well that or that Big Trak I wanted back when I was 15.

And then I saw the trailer for Fast Food Nation. I haven’t read the book, mind you and coupled with the only thing I remember from Supersize Me (the non-decomposing french fries from the extras disc), I think that I shall never eat McD’s again.
