FCMR Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 I heard that they just start up another one, letting all the twats back in again. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its Twats that make Pricks stand to attention
Stavros Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 I think that you're just leading us up a blind alley! Stav.
Tee Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Whats the point in asking a question if you know/think you know the answer? Isn't it a tad pointless? why not just state what you have to say and leave it at that?
MrsTrellisfromNorthWales Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Did anyone see that programme on Channel 4 this week? I think it's called You Are What You Eat. Mr Trellis and I adore it. We love to laugh at fat people being humiliated. Anyway, its premise is that this skinny Scottish doctor goes and tells a fat person why they're so fat. This week it was a woman who ate a lot of bread and butter. Half a tub of butter a day. No prizes for the reason behind for her fatness. But the white bread was interesting. She had so much yeast in her system her toes were falling to bits, her vag was smelly and itchy and she couldn't poo very well. The yeast stuff was all news to me.
ans Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Anyone see Horizon last night on the Atkins diet? Very interesting stuff.
Mission Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Nope, I missed that ans. Having done that diet though, I can confirm that it's not all it's cracked up to be. For sure, you do lose shed loads of weight at the start (I lost a stone in 5 days) but it's pretty dull sticking to it and as soon as you come off it, the weight piles back on. I'm working my way through the book from the 'You are what you eat' series and so far, I'm more inclined to give that a go than try Weight Watchers. I'm hopefully starting on it in the next two weeks and I'm going to do 8 weeks like they do on the show and see how I look and feel after that. I've been thinking about switching to organic food for a while now and I do eat way too much red meat and processed food so I hope to see some major changes in the way I look and feel. I've kept a food diary this week and will do the same next week. I'll be interested to see just how many calories and how much saturated fat I'm putting into my body at present.
purrrrrrrrrrry Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 WOW Slim, I am totally impressed with your knowledge throughout this!! Am guessing that either you or someone dear has a significant health care problem, or you are gay. (No insult intended! - and bet you know what I mean - heeheh!) Actually I know a whole bunch of healthy hetero guys who take responsibility for their health - and yes that sometimes includes eating to live instead of living to eat. Sometimes the options are a bit of a no-brainer, but we also know that there's a few ppl swimming aroud the gene pool who have no interest in that lifebuoy you just sent out...

(No insult intended! - and bet you know what I mean - heeheh!) What a grossly incorrect assumptiont to make. Perhaps the guy just likes bread and knows the crap they put in it over here?
Slim Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 I don't think I'm gay... I have made a serious effort to watch my diet lately, and having adopted the principles of the popular GI Deits of the mo, I've lost nearly 2 stone. More than the weightloss though, I feel better, I've loads more energy (don't get those phased out moments I used to get) and I'm sleeping a lot better. Having the extra energy is also making it easier for me to go swimming three times a week and I'm out on me mountain bike too. O know its not particularly blokey to eat a salad instead of pie n chips, but I'd just quite like to still be around when me kids grow up. Doesn't mean I'm into blokes arses though! And ans is a bit right too, I do like bread. For the first time though I'm looking at the lables, and am kinda horrified at what I'm feeding my kids under the 'healthy' branding. Were baking our own at the mo, which is good, but time consuming.
purrrrrrrrrrry Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Oh god, I wish I hadn't said that now... didn't mean it quite so literally!! Good on you for taking such an active interest in nutrition - the more ppl who realise how fundamentally flawed (and ultimately profit-driven) the food industry is, the better. Things like The Mediterranean Diet are fairly well known, and is quite simply good food eaten at its best, and freshly prepared. But if there was a way that the food industry could process it so the foods into readymeals and the ilk that last for three weeks (ugh - how scary) and label it as the magical solution for the time-pressed (only if you buy this particular brand though!) and have a separate nice shiny plastic display section in the supermarket, and an ridiculous price (because it's quality, see? grrr...) they would. It sometimes seems that the entire universe seems to be held together with modified maize starch - there is even an organic version! How nice of the special ppl to make that! Good luck with the bread making (do you have a machine - they are supposed to be good?)
Bill Posters Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Things like The Mediterranean Diet are fairly well known, On a side note, I understood that the French had a fairly healthy diet. However, I am led to beleive that no small part of this is down to statistics. I'm told French doctors are not allowed to record 'heart failure' as a cause of death. Certainly makes their diet sound healthier.
MrsTrellisfromNorthWales Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Similarly, do you know how many Frenchmen die of e-coli or salmonella? No? Neither does anyone else. They don't bother to keep records on food poisoning. However, an international study of heart disease problems etc says that France is second healthiest developed country in the world, after Japan. That's in spite of eating all that goose fat and all those creamy sauces. Scientists don't really know why they are so healthy. They should be full of clogged arteries, if the current theories about fat are right. The theories of why the French are so healthy include the benefits of drinking a lot of red wine, spending twice as long as an American to eat the same meal, the calories used up in Gallic shrugging and being invaded by Germany every few decades.
ans Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Not to mention the discarding of weapons and the frantic waves of surrender as soon as said invasion commences.
