He did lose a bit of weight and it apparently is good for cholesterol but the docs weren't keen on taking this type of diet over the long term as the effects were unproven.
It's minefield isn't it?! Who knows what to eat and what not, the government keeps changing their minds- what is good one decade is poison the next and so on.
Everyone needs to work out what works best for them (if in doubt there are wonderful professionals out there). There is not one solution for everybody as everyone has their own biological, spiritual and emotional make up. It's your job to eke out what's best for you!
All is well!!!
Happy eat-ing!!!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
