That sounds particularly nutso to me; I mean, I've sat and eaten a bag of sugar snap peas for lunch (I regularly fail at shopping, it was that or a jar of pesto) but I added french dressing, so that'd probably not be allowed. Also, aren't a tomato and a cucumber kinda different sizes, and so not very comparable? Unless it's one of those giant tasteless tomatoes? Yup, not going there, but then I have managed to eat an entire chocolate cake by myself in the past three days (though I figure I burned at least half those calories carrying the damn heavy ingredients halfway across Norwich in the boiling humid weather, so what the hey).
TL,DR - yay, enjoy skating, skating is fun! (also, excuse to use Iceman icon, woot!)
Hello! Nice to hear from you. What is this chocolate cake you speak of, sounds great. I agree that carrying the ingrediants counts as exercise but i'm still disheartened by something the ginger gnome at school - one hard boiled egg takes running a marathon to burn off the calories :( bad times.
Yeah i'm not sure about the size relationship with the fruit an veg i assume it's all about the high water content and less fat. Well i'm not stupid or desperate enough to go on such a crazy diet.
um, yeah, sounds silly to me. apart from anything, a single veg doesn't give you all the vitamins and stuff you need. Also, if you eat less than around 1200Kcals a day, it's actively bad for your health.
I've been doing the small changes thing. Get up 10 mins earlier and do 5 mins stretches and 5 mins of sit-ups/jumps or something. Walk an extra stop to the bus/tube. Eat slightly less at dinner, and cut down on snacks. It's a healthier and more sustainable way of doing it, since you can keep it up without feeling that you're sacrificing all the good food. I've lost a stone since Christmas; not the fastest diet, but I'm feeling better with it than I would with a one-veg-per-meal thing (which is really, really silly).
Incidental add-on: looking at the mortality rates, being underweight is waaay more dangerous than being overweight. And people who are slightly overweight tend to live longest. Best to veer on the side of caution and stay slightly overweight then, methinks.
Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the helpful suggestions Rei, congratulations on the weight loss, i think that sounds like a safe diet that can be stuck to. My problem is that i go on a strict or crazy diet for a week or two then i get bored and fall off the wagon, so i need to go a more sensible option like you have. :)
