This be the poem?

A friend of mine sent me a link to this little ditty performed by the …. hmmmm…. raconteur, writer, ex-MP, Celebrity Goggleboxee, and an all-round eloquent and amusing person, Gyles Brandreth. In just over 30 seconds he tells you (almost) all that you needed to know go low-carb. Could he be the modern William Banting? (See Heroes and Villains No 1)

And here, to help you remember the details of the diet, is my poem on the subject. Do as the poem tells you & you lose 2lbs a week. It works, I promise. Bon appetit! pic.twitter.com/eZtIkGPHgV
