Cook a lot: the 17 day diet, the end

I have quit the diet. Alas. The reason: chocolate mousse. 

You see, I had a load of recipe testing to do. Spaghetti carbonara. Spinach quiche. Supersandwiches. And chocolate mousse. All carb laden dishes, all things that Dr. Mike would have a fit about if he heard. I wouldn't be a good recipe tester though if I didn't actually eat the food. Or so I tell myself. 


Therefore, the diet has come to an end. The relief is palpable and things have cheered up no end in our house. I  lost 1.5 kg and felt quite energetic (albeit cranky) throughout so I am planning to keep up the reduced carb thing. But not right now. Right now I am going to eat the chocolate mousse.
