I find it amusing these days that everyone who gives advice on diet seems to assume that I eat a lot - I have watched in amazement as people who have no weight problems eat and eat and eat - I do not have any idea how they can eat so much and not look like an elephant seal.

Then there are the people who do look like elephant seals who spend all their time stuffing food into their mouths.

The one type of diet which works for me is low carb - but mention Atkins and medical people go ballistic.

Of course they think it is just fried foods and more fried foods - it isn't but they don't listen.

The part of most interactions with a medic which I most enjoy is when they think their doo dad for measuring blood pressure must be broken because mine comes out as normal.
