The Programme, week 4: Nutritionist's comments
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.Matthew Lovell: Jo has stuck really well to the low-starch carbohydrate plan she was on for two weeks (avoiding root vegetables, bread and cereals). She's definitely feeling a reduction in weight, having lost two-and-a-half pounds in the last week. Her mood and energy levels have fluctuated a little and we are going to include a little extra carbohydrate from starchy sources, such as porridge, wholemeal toast, at breakfast as she'll use these energy-dense carbohydrates up over the course of a day. Her training appears to be going well too, with extra running feeling good. Progressing well.
Both Alex and Jo find the diet much easier knowing that the other person is also going through roughly the same experience. Often embarking on this type of diet can be quite difficult and potentially isolating without the right type of support from your peers and professionals as well.
