The Curious Case Of The Shrinking Woman

I am not a scientist or nutritionist, a keep-fit fanatic or a paid celebrity.
I am a Mum of four who has struggled with eating and weight. I don't think as a twenty something you fully appreciate your flattish tummy and gravity defying boobs.

Then you have children; and boy does the laws of gravity and elastasine change.
I needed to lose weight, nearly five stone of baby fat had to go; but getting help was tough.
When I was at the doctor’s he said I was 'too fat.' He is very blunt; but I'm Northern, so quite used to it.
'Oh bugger,’ says I, 'I have been trying to lose weight but it is proving hard, can you suggest anything?'
'Stop eating too much.'
'Eh, be-buggery doctor, I'd a never thought a-that.'

I went away. A little pissed off.
Two different doctors later and many months of heartache; and I had a suggestion- a low carbohydrate diet.
My change was very quick to those watching, once I found the way of eating that suited me I 'melted'. Since this so many people have asked me to write down what I can eat, what I don't and to share my recipes. They are practical for a busy Mum, tasty, and yes I lost 7 lbs in the first week!
All 'wind an' w'ater' as my granny would say, but I felt less bloated and very positive. I have now lost nearly four stone since I started this low carb way of eating. It has given me and my system the kick start it needed.

I hope what I have discovered can help other people feel just like they want to feel again.
