Diet...anyone?

[Penfold42]

As it say's.......is anyone on a diet at the moment....trying to get rid of the Christmas and New Year blow out....??

I have been since 2nd January......:eek:

Must admit i find it really boring........no beer or goodies....
Although i tend to sleep better now......but i just find the food so....well .....taste like :Censored: ......:D

Anyone have any good tips in the diet food area.......??

I'm only doing it because the MD is on it.......every bleeding Christmas.......and each time i say i like my 'roundness'........:D :D :D :D :D

Thanks.....:)

See, I don't get that, healthy food tastes like ****?

My diet is fairly healthy, I tend to avoid eating a lot of meat, and particularly anything that has been sliced off a pig :)

I actually cannot stand fast food like McDonalds and the like, and I don't appreciate fizzy drinks much either.

I think it's more a matter of what you are used to?

Maybe, maybe not.....
I'm not saying i eat crap every day.....i eat fruit, cereal, fresh veg and pasta.
I like meat - all types and don't stuff myself till i can't walk.....

I think i eat sensibly...but...diet food lack's what i call flavour.....i.e...'fat'.....of which gives food it's flavour....and on a diet you can't eat what flavour's food....'fat'!!

If that makes sense......:)

[rob1963]

Luckily I don't need to worry about dieting, as I'm already nice & slim.

:rolleyes:

[Jiggles]

You been in the house of mirrors again :D

[Penfold42]

:rolleyes:

At least your diet worked......;)

As i've said....i dont actually consider myself fat........big, yes....but not fat!!:D

[Jiggles]

They all say that :D

Ah yeah, I know what you mean, like all these sawdust ricecakes and water with a hint of cranberry/lemon/strawberry (and by hint, they mean hint!)

[Jiggles]

Some time this year im going to try a little experement to see what happens when i get rid of sugery foods ie sweets, fizzy drinks and the likes out of my diet to see what impace it has on my body. (Abit like super size me :)) Natural sugers will be allowed :)

[Corabar Steve]

I don't see how you can say that. It's all down to what it is & how you cook it.


Right I'm off for sausage, egg, bacon, beans, b p & a fried slice :sj:

[leighinstoke]

I'm dieting - has been an ongoing thing since last year - I got down to 16stone from 18.5 but now back up to 17.5 for various reasons (I keep eating!).

Target is 15 stone by this time next year which I know I can do as I got down to 16 stone easily enough.

Diet consists of: no prepacked produce, fresh veg and fruit everyday, no red meat (plenty poultry and fish), pasta, rice, low-fat items and, if tempted to nibble - seeds, etc, rather than Cadburys!

Also avoiding a lot of the additives in food can help, especially aspartime as a sweetner as it makes you retain water.

Main thing for is to stop snacking. This also means one visit to the buffet and only having salad, which I usually do anyway.

Oh - there's also the big 'E' word that goes with diet - EXERCISE - which means getting off my rump and getting out there, taking a walk, etc. I'm no gym rat but will happily sit in my chair all evening.

Good luck all other dieters.

Leigh.....

[Corabar Steve]

Don't people eat pasta to help them bulk up? I'm sure a mate of mine did. If so it's not the wisest thing to include in a diet.

Must go & have that fry up, it'll be lunch time before I have brekkie at this rate! :sj:

[leighinstoke]

Bulking up isn't bad as it makes you full and not want much else. It's what you add to the pasta that's the killer.

One think I was told by the rather nice dietician at the hospital (I was referred to see one a few years back) was drink plenty of water.

I've got a few diet books here - Gillian McKeith (who's not a doctor), the Mayo clinic and a few others. Never tried the Atkins and also never followed one of the diets explicitly - more just use the books for guidance.

McKeith's book is good - tells you to examine you poopy deposits - but she fails to actually tell you what a good download should look like.

Leigh.....

[PropellerHeadCase]

I've lost 8-9 kilos in the last year by simply not eating carbs when I get home from a gig and drinking more water over all. No other changes to my eating or exercise habits.

[Vectis]

I dropped 3 stone in 6 months by making 3 small changes to my diet...

1. Nothing with a fat content > 5%
2. Eat breakfast even if it's a slice of toast or a weetabix
3. Eat a bowl of shreddies instead of a full dinner every other day.

Anything else goes, without being silly of course. I didn't stop the :beer1: but tried to drink more wine instead.

[Penfold42]

McKeith's book is good
It maybe good.....but her voice is like scrapping fingernails down a black board!

tells you to examine you poopy deposits
:eek: :sick: ...nice if your round friends........gives a whole new meaning to 'Now Wash Your Hands!!'.......:D

but she fails to actually tell you what a good download should look like.
It might be because she's full of it.......:D

We are having a night off tonight.........not going mad but ditching it for the night only......

Steak with stilton and canberries, baked potato and coleslaw.....glass of wine and a beer...........been starving myself all day.........:)

Isn't she the annoying one who was on a TV show & told people how healthy they were by examining what they did in the :Rob James: ???

I think I could go for that, 3 stone is about what I need to loose!

I'm off the beer already, Low-Cal Mixer & Vodka for me at present. :)

I wish I only needed to lose 3 stone.

In reality, it's more than DOUBLE that.

:cry:

[Corabar Steve]

I'd just like to say

[robbiedj]

Steve, how could you? That's terrible.




Where's the HP sauce? :whistle:

[Penfold42]

What's that next to and on top of the black pudding??

[BeerFunk]

Haggis, surely? An essential ingredient!

[rob1963]

I'd just like to say

Out of interest, Steve, was that an actual meal you demolished?

...or just a pic you found on the internet?

[BeerFunk]

Either way, it's a heart attack served on a plate :D

[rob1963]

Either way, it's a heart attack served on a plate :D

True, but what a way to go!

[Penfold42]

Either way, it's a heart attack served on a plate :D

You think that's bad.....i know someone that buy's the feta and olive oil jar's....eat's the feta, olives and then drinks the olive oil in the jar....:eek:

Nope, White Pudding.

Nope, that is a typical Saturday brekkie Chez Corabar

Here's another (actually this one was lunch)

Steve,

Do you need a lodger?

:D :D :D

[Corabar Steve]

You're on a diet, & anyway, I am the lodger.

[Dragonfly]

looks yummy that but still waiting for last nights fillet steak dinner to make room for anything else :D :D :D

[Corabar Steve]

It's a wonder how I stay so skinny.

[Jiggles]

Good metabolism?

[rob1963]

You're on a diet, & anyway, I am the lodger.

I guess that's a no, then.

Drat and double drat!

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

No beans Steve?

[Corabar Steve]

Beans or tomatoes, never both

[PropellerHeadCase]

Is that some odd religious thing? I fail to see how legumes and a fruit that thinks it's a vegetable can be at odds :confused:

[Corabar Steve]

Tomato sauce on the beans Vs juice from the tomatoes

[Vectis]

Beans AND tomatoes is OK so long as:

a) the tomatoes are NOT those horrid sloppy tinned variety
b) they don't touch. They must be separated by a sausage barrier.

Also neither the beans nor the tomatoes can touch the mushrooms! Eggs or bacon make a good damp-proof course for the mushrooms!!

Anything else goes... :D

[KrazyKaz]

trouble is now (after reading this post) - I'm really really hungry!! :)

Bean sauce must never touch the egg, mushrooms go with everything.

So I'm not the only one who uses the saussage barrier method then.

Not sure about diet pills, but my doctor once gave me some strength pills.

I don't know if they were any good, as I couldn't get the lid off the bottle.
