Rearranged

Rearranged

It’s been quite hard

There have been a few changes,

To my diet, it seemed

Needed rearranging.

Little and often

Not eat after six.

The autoimmune

Needed a quick fix!

Out goes the red

And in comes the white

This fish and this meat

Tastes nice to the bite!

The quorn sausage is nice

With a sausage- like flavour

And once in my mouth

I devour and savour.

I do miss the humus

At the wrong time of night

And sticks of celery

Can be really quite trite.

Missing the coleslaw

And gone are the chips,

Would do anything

For a packet of crisps!

And cheese was my downfall

I loved as a child,

From Stilton to Cheddar

And Edam to Mild.

Mayonnaise and sauces

Have now been banned

It’s all home made

And meals are now planned.

No more of the lamb

Replaced with some chicken

It seems to me

This weight loss will quicken!

The wine it stays

It contains so much fruit!

For a weekend treat

With some nuts en route.

But hey! It seems

My clothes now seem bigger

I guess I just needed

Pre diabetes as a trigger
