When you think about it it's kind of stupid - big brekkie, nothing for 4 hours, big lunch, nothing for 6 or even 7 hours, dinner etc...blood sugar levels up and down and all over the place, energy up and down, moods everywhere.......who the fuck came up with this 3 square meals a day crap? :D

There are lots of good snacks to be had too that make an essential contribution to our overall diet - raw veg, fruit, dried fruit, seeds, nuts, yoghurts, ricecakes, oatcakes etc (or is that just me? :oops:)

I've been doing the Holford Low-GL/Optimum Nutrition diet which requires you to eat every couple of hours or so. I love it because I never feel hungry (amazing for me), and my blood sugar levels must be stable because I'm not having any cravings for anything (not even crisps, my usual weakness).

For today's snacks I had oatcakes with trout pate, and I'll have an orange or apple and some shoyu seed mix later. :cool:
 
well, madge will have had her tea at the child minders, the better half is playing football, so i guess its fish finger sarnies for me :cool:

Now then, are they nearly lovely, or nearly homemade? Clarification if you don't mind missus!!

I'm finishing off me taiwanese hotpotty thing but I scoffed most of the wontons last night :( Extra noodles it is!:D
 
they were nearly homemade as in i had to make them in my home oven

and they were lovely :)

noodles maybe tomorrow night, with some chicken, red onions, and sweetcorn..possibly...
 
pasta with mushrooms & onions & a sauce made from mushroom soup + grated cheese on top (nothing else in the cupboards & no money til next week!)
 
Home made burgers with frozen potato wedges. Yes, frozen. If anyone wants to make summat of that bring it on - I'm fucking knackered :mad: :D

good grief, how did you fit in the oven?:eek: didn't you feel a bit cramped while you were making chips in the oven? why didn't you just do it on a chopping board whilst standing in the kitchen? :confused:

So not actually homemade at all then? Cheat :p

Actually, I haven't had proper homemade chips done in a chip pan with lard in for far too long. I haven't even got a chip pan anymore. Proper chips and egg is gods own food - spesh with a big load of bread and butter :D

And I have to say it's fucking lush. :cool:

After my disappointment of not having one at lunchtime today, my food rage has abated
 
in the end I got some cheap crispy chicken things and had stir fry veg with them (red pepper, mushrooms, mange tout and sweetcorn)

was delicious

then I finished off the grapes with a yoghurt
 
Tonight we're having steak and chips with pepper sauce, onion rings, mushroms, grilled tomatoes and peas. I've been eating really well for a couple of weeks and don't feel any better and haven't lost a fucking ounce so fuck it.
 
I'm the same as you madz, fucking annoying innit

so I'm having last nights abandoned bangers n mash with wine, lager and gin no doubt and a whole heap of sweets :oops:

Annoying, depressing, bewildering...........
I feel like a fucking freak, which is why I avoid diets in the first place :mad:

I'm drinking tomorrow night - friends b'day party. I'll either have white wine topped up with soda (I just neck white wine like water :oops: ) or gin and diet tonic. I always seem to stay more in control with gin for some reason :confused: :D I plan to pace myself but in reality once I've had one drink I'm 'off'.
 
Later: A soup made from cannellini beans and ditali rigati pasta (short, ribbed tubes). It's called 'Pasta e Fagioli' which simply means pasta and beans.

easy to make - two tins of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed. put in a pan, cover with water, add two crushed cloves of garlic, a sprig of fresh sage and a sprig of fresh rosemary. heat through for 20 min.

Pass this through a sieve, to get a puree which is free of the outer skin of the beans. Put the puree in a saucepan and add the pasta. Add salt to taste. Cut a chilli in half, add that too. Cook the pasta in the beans, stirring and adding water occasionally. When it's done, add fresly ground black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with some wicked bread.
