If you have a bowl, Stilly, you can make aspic. It doesn’t have to be a fancy shape.

My weight is still going down. Since 7 April, I have lost 10.6 Kg, which is about 23 pounds. Most of it has come off back, belly and legs, which is why I will need new trousers for winter. I still have maybe 4 Kg to go — max. More than that will make me scrawny, a condition that does not look good on an aging woman.

That chapter in the Taubes book (I assume you’re reading “The Case for Keto”) was a major eye-opener for me, causing a complete re-think of every assumption I ever had about “healthy” food. I’m still kinda shocked at how much the medical profession does not know about nutrition, metabolism, or hormonal effects. At my most recent visit to the allergy doc (yesterday), he casually admitted that he doesn’t know much about relationships between diet and the immune system — really!
