The Anti Jet Lag Diet

I was reading the other week about a method of avoiding jet lag when you fly on a long haul flight - by fasting. It has something to do with changing the circadian rhythms or something. Something to do with tricking your body into something.


I'm going to do some research into this anti jet lag diet, and maybe post some ideas on here.


I noticed when I typed "anti jet lag diet" into google, this site came up:


www.antijetlagdiet.com


These guys explain a bit what the diet is, then ask for some cash in order to get a personalised reading on what types of foods you should eat in order to avoid or reduce jet lag. That sounds like a very entrepreneurial service they've created!


I'll do my own research first, and think of maybe getting my personalised reading nearer the time.

A long pause - the food diary over the last week

itf229011


The first post in over a week. So what's happened? Life happened, plus the build up of my food diary that I knew I hadn't written, and then knowing I would be missing stuff out ... it became too much ... interesting how my diet and exercise has gone downhill since I've stopped recording ... anyway, here's as much of the food diary as I can find and remember. Lot of junk food, wine and beer.
