After last week's pizza etc I felt no further urge to eat either cheese or bread, and the weather here is still pretty hot, so I thought I'd try adding ice cream. After all ice cream is cream and sugar, and I'm already eating lots of cream and carbs in various forms.

So this week I've eaten at least five smallish tubs of ice-cream, a couple the expensive but virtuous Häagen-Dasz, which is an American word which means "We wish to claim Danish heritage but have understandably little idea about the orthography of European languages". The ingredients in their vanilla version are cream, sugar, vanilla.

But I've also had a few of the rather less virtuous but much cheaper Tesco's own brands, which have various chemical pollutants in them for no apparent reason, but no PUFAs so whatever.

And neither of these things have made any difference as far as I can see, I've dropped about a kilo in a week, and I'm currently seven-day averaging 92.2kg which was also this morning's scale weight. (BMI 29 so two points above what I thought of as ‘my weight’ for a good twenty five years)

I got somewhat drunk on wine and whisky last night, with hydrogen peroxide added to the wine to try to get rid of the sulphites. It obviously sort-of-worked in that this morning I had a headache but it went away and I felt fine all day.

So in short I'm eating ad-lib sugar and cream and starch and alcohol and vegetables in various forms with the odd bit of meat thrown in, and I've lost about a kilo in a week.

My thyroid dose has dropped a fair bit, I've been getting less overheated and I'm feeling fine.

I could look around for more forms of cream and pure carbs to add to my 'diet' (honey maybe?), but I'm already below the point where I don't care about my weight and I have science to do, so today 2nd of July after a day on the ice-cream I have gone and bought a loaf of Jason's Sourdough bread (wheat, yeast, water, salt) and dinner was six slices of buttered toast and some stew. Yum.

I've missed bread, not in a cravings sort of way but just because carbs that are not sugar always take some cooking, and there is a heatwave on so I'd like to use the cooker as little as possible. It's no trouble to make toast, and bread can also be eaten straight from the packet.

The miraculous weight loss seemed to start when I stopped buying bread and cheese, and my money is currently on 'low protein is the bit of ex150 that has the effect'. So this week I'll put the bread back in and see what happens.

Bread is quite high in protein, my sourdough says 10g protein/45g carbs in 100g bread. But probably not as high as cheese!

Prediction-wise I wouldn't be surprised to see my weight continue to fall, start to rise, or just stay level. I know nothing here.
