Well hello there. Obviously this is the first entry in what's going to end up (I hope) mostly a rambling account of my experiences, observations and maybe any recipes I can think up during my time on the Modified Atkins Diet (MAD).

Go to the page up top to read a more in-depth run down. So far I've been on the diet for almost 6 weeks now and it's definitely had its challenges. Needless to say, I started this as a confirmed chocoholic and enjoying the occasional glass of wine or cider. I went cold-turkey.

Just recently, I did a video interview for the Epilepsy Waikato Charitable Trust in New Zealand (for those non-Kiwis). I'm pretty sure I got at least one fact incorrect, but its worth a watch to get an idea of what I'm in for - and yourself if you go down this path.

Hopefully you'll find this informative as well as entertaining. You can get notified about updated blog posts via the RSS feed or you can send me a tweet (see the bottom of the page).
