[QUOTE=codemonkey;
Rice is also really good. If you have diawoowoo, drinking the water from cooked rice can make it stop.[/QUOTE]




Diawoowoo!!! oh codemonkey that really made me laugh, so much easier to spell and thanks for the rice water tip! lots cheaper than immodium :rotfl:

Yes, I loved diawoowoo as well - and sooooo much better than diawhoops.....

I have had my first appointment with my health coach. It was very good, she was kind and sympathetic, listened to me and gave me a very useful booklet published by the British Heart Foundation. I had a choice how often I want to see her - I chose once a week because it will help me if every Tuesday I have to go and talk to her one-to-one and be weighed.

Hope to have lost a couple of pounds by next week!

I'm so glad your appointment was OK SDW! Kind people are awesome when it comes to matters of the self (if that makes any sense...).

Good luck!

I'll probably have gained a few so that'll keep the universe in balance :rotfl:

Glad it went well though.

Yes, she sounds excellent! Hope she inspires you (I would still recommend buying the 5:2 book, which is about £3 on Amazon, and reading it....)


(I'm going to put the link cos if you google 5:2 diet it brings the wrong book up. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fast-Diet-Healthy-Revised-Updated/dp/1780722370/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1419949619&sr=1-2&keywords=5+2+diet)

Code, is there a microwave at worK if so, you could use your freezer mountain to take meals to work!

If not, remember that food doesn't have to be hot to be a proper meal. A good quality sandwich is nutritious and interesting! Plus homemade cake or yogurt (which can also be home-made!).


Sorry 7DW, with all this talk of food, although it's the good sort!

Think that's what I'm going to have to do. Sadly a lot of freezer stuff is pretty random stuff like yorkshire puddings and frozen veg so might have to cook veggie curry or something.

Sadly, curry is the one thing I can never get quite right.

Impossible to spoil curry! just bung in random amounts of (cooked) curry powder, or stir in a Patak's spice (or even pickle) and dilute with plain yog if too hot.....


(Founder member curry enthusiast club - my favourite!)


WaS, did you get an email from Approved Foods the other day offering curry hampers? I was tempted, but haven't fallen - yet......

I don't know what I do. I follow the instructions but it never tastes...right. There's no such thing as too hot.

Except maybe the kismot killer. I'm not that stupid.
