Mike Nott

The Nott world has been in a bit of an upheaval recently when it comes to health and food: taking up and sticking with my first bit of serious exercise in decades - karate, and being on a serious weight loss plan - lost nearly 2 stone in last 2 months.

So just to add to the mix, after being vegetarian for 12 years (though pescetarian for the last 5 years) I have decided to start eating fowl and maybe meat again. I don’t really want to go into the personal details why I’ve decided to make this change, apart from to say that I was a very unhealthy vegetarian (bread, cheese and quorn) due to my slack eating habits. I think things may have been different if I could have been a healthy veggie like some of my friends who I have the absolute utmost respect for.

I am still a massive supporter of the vegetarian movement and fully support all vegetarians. I also hope that my girls will make the switch one day (as long as they take the healthy route) and I may even change back again in the future myself.
