Day 13 - a RANT


Fuming!!!

I went out for the day yesterday with my normally hale and hearty father. Poor old bugger was looking very white and washed out which is pretty unusual for him, because like me he is disgustingly healthy. He is 78 and apart from a few joint problems he is pretty fit. He was the one kind enough to donate the fat genes to me so he needs to lose some weight.

It turns out the reason for his pasty look was because he has been going to the enemy....WEIGHTWATCHERS - shame on him. I had to take him off and feed him some decent food. Once the colour had returned to his cheeks he was told in no uncertain terms that trying to exist on 1000 calories a day (with only 16% of that coming from proteins) when you are a 16 stone male is just plain NUTS. His poor body had gone into starvation mode and he was faint, weak and bad tempered.

What sort of organisation does this to people for money??

Dad has now returned to the low carb fold after his brush with the diet industry.
