All too late for Almeria, sadly. C'est la Vie. I'll plod round as best I can.
The main thing is, I believe in the method. I'll re-set my eating sights, too. Beer is the hardest loss, next to bread, but go they must, along with all sugary demons, including (and I had not appreciated this fully) fruit. I've developed a passion for watermelon, but fruit of all kinds are out. Natural sugars, I guess.
Kale is in, though. Mmm. Kale.
Is there a Kale Ale?
Good work, Sweder. The good Dr Maffetone's book is sitting beside me right now, and shortly I'll be dipping into it again to see how to further my success of recent weeks. More on that, soon*.
I have found ditching the bread the easy part of the process. The beer, less so, although I am generally happy enough to substitute wine (which is carb-free), but fruit has been an issue. In the end I just forgot about it and eat a modest amount of fruit anyhow, and it doesn't seem to be so much of a problem. I'm hardly being a Maffetone purist, and maybe that'll slow my progress, but everything is a compromise. Thus far, a more than acceptable one for me.
Keep at it!

Although, oops, I just realised I said I wouldn't do that. Maybe we can open another thread somewhere. Or just mull over it during a few beers - I mean kale smoothies - in Almeria.
Jumpin' Januaries!
