midwife crisis

garden goodies tomorrow

It's been pretty crap in the veg garden again this year. But we have peas and beans fresh from the garden for supper tonight. Well I get to eat mine tomorrow. I'm on one of my 2;5 fasting days today. The theory according to Dr Mosley on the BBC's recent Horizon programme goes something like;
Research is suggesting that by having 2 fast days(or very low calorie intact) the body cells get to repair themselves rather than reproduce, which leads to less likely hood of certain cancers (amongst other things). It's also very interesting, I feel more alert and have some fantastic dreams on the fast days/nights. I'm eating one small meal usually at lunch time. I am hungry in the evening, but if I keep drinking the green tea it passes (albeit for a while). The strange thing is that I'm not at all ravenous in the morning and I don't feel the need to eat extra to make up for the day before.
I have no idea how long we'll keep this up for, especially going into winter, but it's not a bad thing to know what it feels like to be hungry.
