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
