A dose of healthy eating is exactly what I need just now so I'd be well up for this!

What is your usual diet consist of BMG.?

I make chicken salads which I have every day for lunch, so no problems there.  My evening meals consist of whatever the wife makes me which can range from a pizza in the over, to a nice curry or a salmon dish or pasts bakes or suchlike.  My problem is lack of discipline/willpower and binge eating though.. I'll admit to having a bit of an addictive personality.

If there's a multibag of crisps in the house, I'll struggle to not eat them all, same with other types of snacks.  At weekends I tend to let my hair down with takeaways, undoing any good work I've done throughout the week!

Are you familiar with plant based diets or is this something you're looking into for the first time?

We eat a lot of fat in our house and we cook a lot of things in butter. My wife started a keto diet this time last year which meant that she eats meat, fish, milk, eggs and veg but no bread, pasta, rice etc. She did this because she struggled with her weight after our 2nd child. She lost 4 stone by Christmas and 8 months on from that she is in the best shape of her life on that diet. Everything we eat is full fat.

Yeah, I've heard the Keto diet is class, think Sargon of Akkad lost a lot of weight through it.
