Tom Watson (Labour Deputy)

Low carb eating is very effective. My DH has lost 38 pounds since being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in March. His diet was pretty poor before but he was committed to changing his ways and controlling his diabetes through his diet. We both did a lot of research and found Michael Mosley very inspirational. I have lost 36 pounds as well and we both feel great. Last week we bought a 15kg bag of dog food which was very hard to lift and DH pointed out that that was more or less the amount of weight we had lost. Tom Watson has done extremely well for a man in his position who must attend a lot of functions with food and alcohol readily available.

Ilovecheese that is a truly revolting thought.

I buy a well known brand R**se ? , just remember I don’t do spelling very well

mmm I could, but I must resist.

I bought some Cretan honey from Lidl, it's delicious. Is that advertising?
Otherwise I try to buy local honey

Jalima, as some dip into the biscuit tin or bag of sweets I dip into honey,

I wonder what happened with his skin.

I do have honey on yogurt for breakfast - but one small spoonful is more than enough calories for me!!
I'm trying to be a size 12 as well.

Try it Jalima, I am still size 8 trying to be size 12

If I lost 7 stone I would be an extremely skinny Minnie, so that makes me feel a lot better; two stone would be nice. Perhaps I should eat more honey Anniebach

7stone!! That's not far off my whole body weight.

Yes Jess, every day. Love it.

Please, take Poldark, he’s yours. I don’t want Tom. Wrong party. Added to which DH might take umbrage.

I'll have Poldark, you can have Tom Watson then!!! Seems fair!!

I did say quite kittylester! ( No accounting for taste. Some find the Poldark chap tasty!)

A whole jar Anniebach? In a day? Every day?

Anniebach, I can only dream of honey at the moment, I put on 9lb in the 8 weeks my leg was in the cast, 4 weeks since it has been off and just getting "back to normal". Trying desperately to lose those flipping pounds!!!

The painkillers have aggravated an existing stomach problem so eating fruit or some salad products are out. But hey ho I shall persevere and hopefully get down to my Pre-injury weight.

Why, when I have a jar of honey every day do I not put on weight?

I think that's a step too far Alima!!

Sugar is a carb, some people do not realise this. You find sugar in practically every processed food and ready meal on the market.

Cook from fresh, and move more it's the only way.

Low carb is how he did it, along with many savvy T2 diabetics.
But I'm biased, being a big fan of low carb eating.

Alima

I heard him on Radio 4 today. Seven stone loss in a year is fantastic. It spurred me on to losing a bit less than that.

I know OM. Quite a tasty geezer. (Who’d have thought it!)

And Alima that photo doesn’t do him justice. On Central TV just now he looking fit and tanned too.

I didn’t recognise him at first, had to google that he was the same person. Amazing transformation.
