I think the over-riding thing we learned this week is that Mark is none-too-taken with a vegetarian diet! I sympathise here as I am a fan of including meat, poultry and game (preferably from ‘the wild’, from sympathetically-reared animals and from sustainable sources) in diets for those who are not following a vegetarian/vegan way of life for whatever good reason. Vitamin B12 is an essential micronutrient and animal-derived foods are our only source which is why strict vegetarians and vegans are encouraged to supplement. Deficiency can result in fatigue, muscle weakness, memory loss, heart palpitations, bleeding gums, mouth sores, nausea, poor appetite and diarrhoea.

However, the celebrities are getting plenty of filling and nutritious plant protein alongside the occasional buffalo meatball so they should be just fine and most of them are beginning to feel pretty good BUT I would really like to see more fish and shellfish which are a great source of protein, hike our B12 levels up nicely AND can't be beat for their richness in brain and energy-boosting 'good' fats.

With luck you are still feeling focused and determined to stay on the reduced sugar road so here are a few suggestions for lunch and dinner dishes that won’t involve quite as much time in the kitchen as appears to be the case in the sugar free farm kitchen!
