Great, if my arithmetic is correct..a stone = 15 pounds. This solves one of my great mysteries. The UK press always gives weight in stones---leaving me wondering...
As for losing weight, I'm a devoted Atkin's dieter. The low-carb diet works for me. I lost 40 pounds 10 years ago and I've kept it off. Of course the low-carb diet explains my love for single-malt Scotch. Scotch, like most pure spirits has zero carbs. However, I still miss having a cold beer on a hot, humid day.

I lost over 3 stone last year in fact about 45 pound in total but due to eating a little more bit more for the last couple of months about 6 or 7 pounds has crept back and I want to nip it in the bud so no alcohol for me until my birthday in November and try to eat between 1000 and 1500 calories a day till Christmas.
Then reassess in the new year after the Christmas/New Year feasting when I probably will have gained 2 or 3 pounds.
Great to hear all your ME insight, POC ..
Agreed on Atkins .. I think it’s sound
(and so does my son, who’s a doc).
Thought of you when I saw this
