Very true.

What is the post-lunch equivalent of Brunch?
Like, when its too late for lunch, but too early for dinner/tea?

Whatever its called, I had a very nice one today just now:
Layer 1: Three soft but crispy edged strips of decent bacon : smoky but not too smoky, not too salty, and exuding practically no water (impressive in this day and age of mass produced bacon).
Layer 2: Eggs, scrambled to a perfect level of creaminess and with parsley from my own front garden
Bottom layer: Two tiny slightly toasted and buttered slices of that nice chilli and cheese loaf from Morrisons.

A very satisfactory food experience.

Good effort but my image of afternoon tea is more about petits four or scones with cream and jam, than bacon and scrambled eggs on toast

Oh God that would be torture for me.

I am managing to drink more water nowadays, a friend of mine talked me into it about 10 years ago and I have to admit to feeling much better for an improved water intake.

But not for five days with no actual food intake, I couldn't bear it, and would fall quickly off that wagon

Today I have had a nice chicken and avocado salad for my lunch.

I was the same way with Fried Rice as you were about pizza (except I didn't make myself throw up, I would NEVER do that)

A couple of years ago, I eventually fell off the keto wagon after being reasonably successful, but discovered very quickly that I can't eat a whole carton of fried rice any more, without having a great deal of bloated and distended-feeling stomach discomfort.

I tried to blame it on MSG but I think I've just got to take it easy with carb overload.

Can't believe the amount of carbs I used to eat specially the bread/spuds/pasta/rice type of thing (and lets not mention pastry!) , but I am much better having cut most of those out, just the occasional little splurge which blows ketosis and then I get back on that wagon. But I tend to reducing carbs (as much less than 50 as possible and preferably below 20 most days) rather than cutting them out completely.

Somehow or another I do recently seem to have the capacity to control myself enough to have lost a bit of weight. But (me being me) that could go tits-up at any time, so I am trying to make the most of it and I genuinely am starting to feel a lot better than I have for a good year or so.

I'm only really concerned to lose a bit of weight so that my flight to Sydney doesn't wreck me for days The older you get, the less comfortable long haul becomes, and as a fatty, its even worse.

I've mentioned this before but I'll bang the drum again: the best thing I ever did with regards to diet is to cut all sugary fizzy drinks. Not had a coke (or even diet coke) in 10+ years.

I have chocolate bars stacked up that people have bought me that I just don't fancy any more and I've stopped buying The Biscuits of Beelzebub*
