Hey everyone Ben-Kumba Radio episode number 368 I hope you are well. So today's show

when I lost five and a half stone I got into nutrition in a certain way and I got into nutrition in a certain way and I got into nutrition in a certain way

because I lost weight in a certain way and what that did is that kind of skewed my understanding of nutrition. It made me see things

differently. It may be see things that weren't there. And when we look at conversations

18 the low-carb paleo movement was huge and it was like the thing. So naturally

I followed a paleo low-carb diet after a trainer recommended it to me and it was phenomenally

successful for me. I lost four stone in four months and then the next stone and a half kind of trickled off over a couple of months.

And my diet mainly consisted of proteins, fats, lots of fruit and vegetables and very rarely

things that we've discussed like bread, and pastures and rice and I felt

great as well now my diet before that wasn't particularly good wasn't awful
