I don’t want to jinx it, but at the time of writing, admittedly less than a fortnight after announcing the big project, my diet is going spectacularly well. It’s not all abject failure over here at Beta Male, oh no. About twice a year, just to keep everyone guessing, I like to throw in a success. Yet the fact is I’ve lost half a stone, by the simple expedient of eating a great deal less than I do normally. It turns out I’m not big-boned after all.
