    but sugar isn't better either :confused: so what are we supposed to eat... boiled vegetables with some boiled vegetables?? or has some smart scientist found out that now boiled vegetables make us fat, too?:confused::rolleyes:

    I am not having a go at people for choosing to use artificial sweeteners after all I choose to drink booze when I know it isn't particularly good for me (at the levels I drink anyway);).

    I just don't like the health risks associated with artificial sweeteners, I am less bothered about whether or not they make you fat so I don't use them.

    Anyhow - diet out of the window for me, I had a hige pizza for lunch - unrefined white flower, loads of saturated fat - my arteries are furring and my bowels clogging as I type. But it tasted bloody good :D

    Actually...eat fat and protein and complex carbohydrates.

    Which is what most stuff is made out of. A curious coincidence..?

    Don't be so worried about saturated fats. Many trials were done quite a while ago where they didn't differentiate between "hydrogenated saturated fats" and "naturally saturated fats".

    I don't need to tell you how unhealthy trans-fats are, and the fact they were mixed with natural fats is a touch dishonest IMHO.

    And yes, I am old enough to remember when margerine was better for you than butter...

    Morning All

    Its a beautiful morning here again even if it is only minus 3 degrees still and I am off out for a bracing crunchy walk across the fields!!!!

    Did anyone see SuperSkinny Supersize last night and the stuff about diet pills - eating sensibly is the only way combined with exercise - at least in my opinion. We quite often don;t eat meat for a week and we have pasta etc. have a great low cal reciepe for stuffed peppers if anyone wants it

    Right walking boots here i come !!!

    Yes please Surfbabe i would love the recipe for stuffed peppers xxxxxxxxx
