“Hey mate,” my friend said, as we stood in a car park and talked about incidental music. As you do. “Yes?” “Mate, have you, erm, lost some weight?”
Ha. Damn right. Twenty-five big fat pounds of it. And there’s more to come. “Just a little,” I said, though the scales have reported a happier story in which consistency is rewarded by looser fitting trousers.
And so, after years of I-really-must-stop-eating-a-whole-packet-of-Crunchy-Nut-Cluster-cereal-in-a-day realisations, I’ve finally taken the plunge. While previous attempts have focused on loads more exercise, this time – for reasons I’ll share another day – there’s little time for that. But the game-changer has been this: intermittent fasting. Here’s the thing: I like discipline. If I know what to do, I’m perfectly happy to do it. Wear a tie?Make sure you post this by Thursday. Don’t worry, it’ll go on Wednesday.I’m reasonably sure in another life I must’ve been a collie dog, listening to a farmer’s whistle and herding sheep into a pen.
If I want chocolate brazil nuts for breakfast, or a vast sausage bap for lunch, it’s all gravy, providing I eat within the allotted time.
