Cutting Carbs for 27 Days

3-06pm

We had a huge response to yesterday’s talk with Prof Tim Noakes. Clearly there is great interest by those who listened to be more healthy and for many, to lose weight.  I decided to speak to Wayne and ask him to ask Tim if he can come again. Tim immediately said, ‘yes, tell me when!’ So Tuesday 13th November has been booked for ‘Tim Noakes Tuesday’ on the Rise and Shine show. Diarise the date and be near your radio between 7 & 8am. 107.5FM, Cape Town wide and 96.7 in the Fish Hoek and surrounding area! (www.ccfm.org.za on the www).  I have taken note of what the twins (see www.jaquelineduncan.co.za)  have been eating over the last several weeks & have partially adjusted my diet. I say partially because I’m a bit of a lemon cream snacker, the odd piece of toast eater and a few baby potatoes enjoyer! I also enjoy dessert and chocolates and a whole range of other ‘forbidden fruit.’ The idea of cutting it all out is a Mount Everest for me, but today, in a (perhaps rashly spoken) single sentence I wrote out of my immediate future all the above delicacies! From today, until ‘Tim Noakes Tuesday’ I am a high protein, high fat, low/no carb eater! 27 days. It’s going to be an interesting birthday for me come 5th November! What an exercise!  I’m going to thinking carefully about how  difficult it is, how practical it is, how satisfying it is and how enjoyable it is?  You’ll be reading about my journey right here! It’s a housewife experiment, – just let’s see how implementable it is to the ‘woman in the street!’ After all, this is life and eating is part of it. It has to be ‘do-able’! Who knows, it may become a lifestyle change.

So far today I’ve had, fruit salad, double cream natural yoghurt with a couple of dozen almonds. That was pre-studio breakfast. For brunch, I had scrambled egg with chippolatas and cherry tomatoes. That has sustained me until now (4pm) when I’ve just had a dozen almonds. I’m going to need to go shopping! I can see that!

The sunrise this morning…

I’ve taken the day off tomorrow to try and shake this fat, viral head cold! 🙂

Jeremiah 32:26-27 Then the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: ‘I am the Lord, the God of ALL mankind. Is anything too hard for me?’

Nope!

No giant too big, He cannot slay.
