Couldn't resist today!

#1

Whilst shopping in a farm shop today for double cream, lamb, chicken and fresh veggies I overhear a lady telling the butcher how she’s spent nearly 4 hours doing workouts, yoga, etc etc in non air conditioned places with a personal trainer and she still can’t lose weight.

I couldn’t resist! My will to keep quiet let me down and my desire to share the magic took over. She was of a similar age to me. When she said" when you get to my age doesn’t matter what you do nothing works" I had to speak.

So I told her that the good news is that’s not true (at which point I got a dirty look from her and sheer disbelief!) This spurred me on, so with a smile I explained the LCHF is the answer and even our age range can lose weight, just might take a little longer. Also told her the butcher was our best friend. He was smiling! She looked horrified! “But I like my alcohol too much was her reply”. So do I, and enjoy a few glasses most weekends.

I’m still smiling about this! I agree that exercise is important but I don’t need to kill myself with ridiculous workouts in unusually high temps for the UK currently(a miracle in itself!)

What joy!

That’s pretty cool! I wish more people would try it. It makes me so mad when I see how dupped we’ve been by the whole system. How many times do we hear a calorie is a calorie and so many other false notions that the establishment has indoctrinated our world with.
Maybe she will think about what you said.

Brits and their alcohol, I’m one so can attest we think we need and deserve it. Almost a year clean and introducing keto style diet my life is possibly the best it has ever been; but the entitlement and addiction to alcohol is so great many will never leave it’s clutches and never blame it for any problems.
