Herbalife

I was unemployed for over a year during the last recession, 1989-91 time. I tried to cook sensibly, buying cheap meat down the market, shin-beef for example, disgusting. I also walked a great deal to combat the boredom.

I didn't lose much weight.

Recently I've had to get my weight down. I did it by walking a lot more than previously and avoiding the big fat content things. I looked into but didn't try the herbal and pill popping options, or strict diets. The trouble is being retired now I'm counting the pennies, and most publicised solutions cost money - often a lot of money.

I wonder whether, when you are tight for money, a lot of what is cheap to buy is high on fat.

Is this something your GP surgery can advise on? Some surgeries have someone on the staff, one of the nurses, with dietary knowledge.
