    Basically this is a return to the "caveman diet", though excluding grains and beans as well doesn't fit with that. But if it forces you into proper cooking with real food and avoiding what is processed as far as possible, that's no bad thing. It's very similar to the Atkins Diet, which is based on the theory that if you avoid complex carbohydrates, your body will have to turn to stored fat for energy and bingo, you burn that off and lose weight. Whatever your opinion of that, it is certainly true that restricting "carbs" will vastly reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, which is entirely caused by eating too much of them for years. Our bodies are still built for the "caveman diet" and haven't evolved to cope with the change in what we eat since agriculture was invented.

    It is noticeable that when the UK was forced into a more vegetable-based diet because of food rationing in WWII, the nation became healthier. It just happened to be that what needed to be rationed, because a lot of it was imported and German U-boats were sinking supply ships in an attempt to starve us into submission, was largely fatty and sugary stuff (making cakes was virtually impossible). It improved a bit towards the end of the war when someone worked out that it was actually better to form ships into convoys with navy ships around them to detect and drop bombs on the submarines.

    Thank you USA for the powdered eggs! Of course I am far too young to remember this and you couldn't make fried, boiled or poached eggs out of them, but anything where you have to beat the eggs up anyway was perfectly possible. Scrambled eggs or an omelette – you could do that.

    It's good to see a proper SHARP chef's knife being used. It makes chopping so much easier. I asked for one for Christmas, my sister bought me a Sabatier, and it has revolutionised my kitchen life. My existing set of knives all have serrated edges and this is NOT good, except for the bread knife – it IS a benefit for slicing bread, but not for anything else.

    I would say to any beginning cook that really you only need 2 knives, an 8 inch chef's knife like this, and a smaller one for smaller vegetables like mushrooms where that feels too big. Don't go cheap, go for quality whatever it costs, it'll last for years and years and you'll thank yourself that you did every time you get cooking. Chinese cooks manage entirely with one big cleaver and if they can do it, so can we!

    Hope 30 days of this makes you feel better! It ought to.
