Brambling Your colleague's diet sounds like the cabbage soup diet, although I always thought day 5 was beef and tomatoes rather than just tomatoes. It's definitely not something you could sustain (or I could ever do again) but it was a very good boost to start a diet. I think it was because it was so restrictive that eating healthily afterwards was a treat
She called it the GM diet Izadora but there was no cabbage soup, she is indian so I don't think she eats beef, she may have misunderstood or decided not to replace it with another protein. I think I'll stick to what I'm doing rather than a more extreme dietwell done on weighing yourself, i find that's the difficult bit when you know you have put weight back on, once you have got on the scales you can't hide from it
Honey you are lucky you got the towels clean again even if it took all day I know sometimes it's impossible to get rid of the smell.
Needt2bthrifty - I have added your loss to the chart :T
B - Fruit and FF greek yoghurt
L - rice and vegetables (cooked yesterday) green beans and tomato and courgette sauce
D - will include LO crumbed chicken not sure what else, but lunch was more than usual so maybe just some green beansLife shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin0 -

Todays food.
Bacon butty. :cool:
Two mince pies. :cool:
Meat and potato pie. :cool:
And a lot of carrot and swede mash to ward off the scurvy!
I am calorie counting instead of my haphazard "healthy food and being careful. ish" so I am fully embracing pastry. :rotfl:0 -

I have a feeling I am eating more calories than before i was counting them, which might be unhelpful.
I love the rain, so i went for a two hour walk while it was bucketing down.
Food today...
Large tuna and salad butty.
Two lotus biscoff biscuits with biscoff from the jar spread on them. (food of the Gods)
Tomato soup and Danish bread.0
