It does take a long time of not eating much for me to lose weight. Today for example, I had two tablespoons, probably less than 100g (or possibly millilitres) of plain yoghurt plus a peach and a small glass of orange juice for breakfast. A crab salad, not a whole crabsworth, for lunch and a glass of wine. For dinner, a small helping of salmon, a spoonful of pasta and some french beans, followed by a couple of greengages. Oh, and a couple more glasses of wine. I really don't think that's much, and it's fairly typical of the quantities and types of food I've been eating recently. Yesterday, for example, we went out for lunch and I had a BLT baguette. The Sage had a steak and offered me his mushroom, a nice open one. Once I'd accepted it, he said hopefully that he'd swap it for some bacon. Since he had an 8 oz steak already, I was surprised that he wanted any more - still, I gave him half my bacon, 1 1/2 rasher's worth. I ate the salad, the slice and a half of bacon, the mushroom (which was grilled, not fried) and drank a half pint of cider and left all the bread. I hadn't had anything at all for breakfast. For dinner, I had most of a fillet of fish, grilled, some baked potato and some sautéed courgettes and tomatoes. Then I had some ice cream, a small helping.
Really, I'm not eating much. I'm not losing an ounce though. Unless I'm saving it all up and will suddenly drop half a stone. But how is it that some people lose several pounds per week? I really can't eat less, it wouldn't be healthy.
