Topic change: No flour, no sugar

I am about a hundred pounds overweight (6 or 7 stone?), and have been slowly creeping down for at least a year, probably due to sugar and starch management in my diet.

----------------------------

Probably? Several months ago I instinctively started to eliminate virtually all sugar and flour products (actually carbs, including potatoes and such) from my diet. The weight really started to come off after that. Don't just manage it. Get rid of it. You don't need it.

I had noted this to my sister and she asked me if I knew a Dr Gott. Never heard of him. But, evidently he has been promoting  the "no flour, no sugar" diet for some time. Do a google search and you'll see what's written about it.
