Carver ham is no longer showing 2 for £3 in Tosco. Not sure if it will still work as it wasn't comparing at that price anyway, it compared at £2.94 :huh:

Is anyone going to admit to shopping in A's Boldon at about 4pm (Using 2 nutri-grain APG's) I was really tempted to say 'hello' :rotfl:

Not me, I was in about lunch time (or dinner time for the dodgepots among us )

Can I chuck my two penneth worth in? Just my understanding of what I have read.

I think anything less than 90g of carb a day is considered low. 1g of carb contains 4 calories and same for protein. 1g of fat contains 9 calories.

The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a calculation to work out how many calories you need for your brain, heart, lungs etc to function - so if you lay in bed all day this is the calories you would need to stay exactly the same. The heavier you are the more you'll need. There are loads of calculators online. Go below this figure and metabolism will slow and the body will start eating up muscle.

Muscle is a liability and fat is essential. :cool:

When you wake in the morning your body really only needs protein. The body is quite happily in a ketosis state (using fat as fuel) so why would you want to load up on carbs if you are going to sit in an office all day. Stretch that state till lunch?

White bread is higher on the glycemic index than a snickers bar :eek::eek:

I read this book:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Starts-Food-Discover-Whole30-Unexpected-ebook/dp/B008C20TDG/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1398185730&sr=1-1&keywords=it+starts+with+food

To me, it makes a lot of sense, it's not about counting calories. A good read if you want to know the ins and outs of how hormones work or work against us.

I got 40 Robinsons yesterday.

They are still on the kitchen work top lined up in flavours, labels to the front. I was a bit annoyed as the Summer fruits one was just one short of two rows:o

Of course I would take a photo but as zippy knows my photobucket account has been suspended[/b[.......probably for hosting dodgy turkey pics:rotfl:

Why doesn't clucky open an account?

And how did nectar bingo go?

aau1

I know nectar often has £15 off first £60 order. The mobile app is offering 3000 nectar points. That could be worth £30 in the double up that starts tomorrow

I know its not our shop of choice but could be good for someone (assuming the points get added immediately)

Does anyone have any experience of whether this combines with a £15 off code? I know the tills let you use bonus points and conditional spends together.....

Eta. T&cs say points added within 28 days. Prob going to miss the double up

I didn't realise so many carbs could be eaten and still lose weight. I was trying to stick to less than 10g per day but ended up feeling nauseous and headachy so gave up over the weekend Back on track again today though

I did a 900 cal diet a year or so ago, really good & easy to do. Never done dieting before, I was getting concerned about the beer belly & OH wasn't exactly helping. It's exactly what it says on the tin 900 cal a day, doesn't matter what you eat as long as come the end of the day you only eat within that limit, Friday's fun day so you treat yourself with an extra 200 cal. It's especially good in the run up to an event because you'll be dropping you're intake by half GDA. Then at optimum weight you move up to 1500 cal, I used an app Calorie Counter +, it's a user based guide that shows you everything that a food has from Carbs to Salt in all products, it also allows user to input items that aren't on the lists & it updates it for all users to use

Kids!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

When I went to pick up DS2 from school earlier, a little lad walked up to me and said 'xxxxx might be late out of school today, he's been stabbed in the head with a pencil and has gone to the medical centre' :eek::eek::eek::eek:, so I ran into school to find out what was going on. I was properly flustered!

The lady at the front office eventually located him in the student support area, He was a bit distressed but not physically hurt in any way at all. PHEW! It turns out that someone threw a pencil at someone else and his head was in the way! Apparently the way he reacted make everyone in the class think he'd been badly hurt. He was hysterical and completely over reacted :(

Between the incident and school finishing.....the story about the head stabbing has spread through school and obviously got taken home and told to parents and Ive spent all evening answering phonecalls and texts from people who 'have heard what happened'
