I’ve a shake gluten free vegan dairy free, chicken and chips for lunch and meat/chip/rice based dinner. 3 big meals a day and very little snackage. Dairy, gluten and sugar are my nemesis. Have cfs so eat any and it’s pains and fatigue.
 
I've eaten no bread of any kind for a year or more . very few potatoes either . No pastry , apart from a few mince pies in season . I haven't missed any of it , but NO I haven't lost any weight at all , in fact I 'm out half a notch in my belt buckling . Don't know what you make of that ! Supposedly , I'm under Doctor's orders for shortage of breath and a bit of foot swelling , which he says is simply retained water . He put me on water tablets and as far as I can see , not a lot of progress there apart from the certain knowledge that "when I gotta go , I gotta go " A bit quick too if I don't want wet pants !.

I decided to cut out bread and sugar since the 6th feb this year.So only sweet things are fruit and I eat the oatcakes out of harbro if I need a bread substitute . But by and large I dont miss it. I think I was addicted to it. I have loads more energy and can work all day , I no longer get shaky like I used to if I would say do a long haul to the mart and eat a cake and juice on the way home ' for energy' then would come home and could hardly feed my cows with the shakes. I eat more meat and more eggs . I have also lost about 6kg just a small bit over a long time probably better, I was 72kg now im 66 kg. I eat scotch eggs maybe 3 a week . As a bread substitute
