Thanks Ballerina, I’ve got one of those and yes, the snippet was what I wanted.
Thanks BBT053, I did see the original programme and watched parts a couple of times but it was a long time ago. A poster, who you will know as Breadandwine is a good friend of mine, though we don’t get to chat nearly enough. He started on calorie restriction a few months before the programme, I joined in and when OH’s GP said she should lose weight because of blood pressure I started that and together we had a lot of fun choosing recipes, doing the prep etc. I’ve changed to a 24 hour total fast (liquids only) after our evening meal on one day ‘til 6pm the next. I don’t think that was in the programme but I’m certainly happy with it - not least because today (being a fast day) not bothering with meals means I’ve more time to post.
So, to get back to the point, although I started by taking note of scientific evidence it was subjective feelings that led me to what I do now - not least of which is we don't spend so much money on food!
