    None, although I'm not very keen on warm sultanas... or fussy eaters.

    And I feel amazing too. :)
  • Well I used to suffer with binge eating and was very overweight so I have to be fussy/strict with my self. I don't miss all the crappy food though tbh
  • I am a vegan so follow a similar diet to Daniella although I do eat a bit of sugar & flour. I avoid takeaways as they are likely to have animal products in them (and because they cost so much), but will have deep fried food from time to time. I eat mainly veg, legumes, grains, nuts, fruit and seeds.
    I'm not keen on warm sultanas either...
    Never felt better.

    Hi Daniella,

    Completey off topic, but I'm pretty much adopting this diet for just over a month to lose a bit of weight as quick as possible. Currently making a 5 week meal plan. Would you mind sharing a couple of favourite meals?
