That's handy then, because the mash was great !! 😉

Rob I wouldn't eat potatoes with custard, but they are off limits 😀

It's more about wanting to follow it as intended, as an experiment 😉 than any worry about putting weight on....... I've been carrying round an extra 2st for quite some time now....I'm not getting precious over it 😀

If I don't follow it to the letter it's a wasted experiment as I won't know what works for me and what doesn't ?

You can't brag about it unless you give the recipe so it can be independently verified 🙂
unless it's just as simple as 1) get celeriac 2) mash it

OK I don't know about the diet, but how can a vegetable make a difference? They're full of water mostly.

Pretty much,
Boiling water, bit of salt and pepper
Peel and chop celeriac root into small squares, add to water, simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, drain, mash add little bit of butter and pepper to taste.... Job done 😉

"OK I don't know about the diet, but how can a [s]vegetable[/s] [b]food[/b] make a difference? They're [s]full of[/s] [b]all[/b] water mostly"

And the bits that aren't water? Glucose, lactose, ribose, sucrose, fat, protein?? Is it all the same? I wonder does some 'bits' spike insulin and some bits not? Could that affect how your body deals with the contents of your plate?
