@mangochutney I lost weight after switching to the “grandparents” diet. That’s where I eat a proper breakfast (high calories, low fat), small lunch, and very light dinner.

@khurtwilliams @purisubzi That “grandparents” diet seems like exactly what my wife and I were recently talking about. We want to switch away from heavy meals in general but have found heavy food late in the day to be annoying either way.

@SimonWoods, my endocrinologist, agrees.

@mangochutney if I’m able to I combine breakfast with a long hike or bike ride. The weather in New Jersey is challenging at the moment. > 30°C temps and > 85% humidity and poor air quality due to smoke from forest fires in Canada. I’ve quit riding and hiking for now.

@mangochutney I struggled badly with the 5:2, though I think I should have planned what I was going to eat a little better.

@mangochutney I’m more of a savoury snacker, but doughnuts are a weakness. I really should shop for myself/buy in food to ensure I can stick to a certain way of eating.
