I've mentioned the D-Plan diet ("Eat less food. Take more exercise. Duh") in these pages before now, and had a share of arguments about it's efficacy with some of you lot out there.
Talking about it with someone the other day, they observed that if they ate less food in terms of volume but instead all that they ate was deep-fried sugar-coated lard then they wouldn't lose weight would they, eh? Eh? So my diet is wrong, wrong, wong. So there.
I have to acknowledge that they are quite correct in this statement, and so I am renaming the D-Plan diet. It shall henceforth be called the 'Pedantry will make you fat' diet.
That is all. Move along now.

My blood pressure has come down and I weigh a lot less. Whatever the reason, it works, or at least, works for me - without the usual hunger pangs or misery associated with a calorie-restricted diet.
