Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Matt Lovell: Maire is doing well. She has lost 4lb in weight, feels lighter, and her clothes are already looser. She's very focused and has been busy looking at rates of absorption of various carbs, and ways to incorporate pearl barley and chick peas into her diet – homemade houmous is one very delicious way and a recipe follows.
Dinner in particular looks excellent, with good quality protein and grow-above-the-ground veggies (below-the-ground ones had crept in last week). To continue to make progress, exercise on an empty stomach and some careful attention to snacks are this weeks focus.
