17st 11 again :( :rolleyes:

Can someone devise a diet plan for me please :rolleyes: not too much to ask that is it? :lol: Also could someone come round and cook it for me!!

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Whats that mean then????

It means:

"Yeah right - I'll come and do your cooking" :lol: :lol: :lol: :p :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh go on PLEASE???? for me???? Ok then it will just have to be a diet designed for me by someone go on whos voluntering???? If I can get everything from tesco that would be a help :^: :p

OK here's goes although I can't promise a post every day cos I'm forgetful and busy....
this is my day so far, will try and post again later cos I don't know what dinner will bring as yet, I really need to go shopping.

BF. Youghurt 2 pts
1//2 cup skim milk...this does me for my tea during the day. 2 pts

Lunch. Lean pocket 2 pts
Trying to glug the six required glasses of water as well, but not enjoying so far cos it's cold outside...
Watch this space...more later:p

Lean pocket? Whats that in English? :p

All I need to do is forget everything about food like what I eat all the time and stuff and start a fresh is that possible maybe I need a brain transplant?

Question
 

Ok then calorie queens :lol: what I basically have is a cal limit of about 1700 and in that I need

2 slices of toast for bf

mid morning banana

lunchtime quick sandwich/similar

afternoon fruit

tea meal

supper meal about 8

Its a challenge! Can I get all that into 1700 cals or not? Then of course there is wine...HELP.

Buy yourself a funky notebook and a Slimming Magazines Greatest Guide to Calories and you are on your way, most foods these days are calorie counted, you can do it J you really can. you soon remember most basic foods and once you write em in your book you dont have to keep flicking through the cal guide,
all the best to you on this fresh start.
you can have wine you just have to work out how much you can have according to how many cals you have left.
GO FOR IT !!

Do you have Hot pocket's there? in the freezer section, well Lean pockets are less fat hence the name, sort of a pastry pocket filled with different pizza like stuff, today's was chicken, peper's and onions with cheese.
Rest of today's food in my tum,

Dinner: 5oz chicken 5 pts
Spinich, mushrooms & onions 0 pts.
I slice potato bread 2 pts
saltine cracker's low fat, 5 @ 1 pt.

Total points so far today 20 I think...still have four more to go, so can snack this evening ;)

I have no pockets at all lean or hot!

Sunday

• Bf scrambled eggs on toast and mushrooms & orange juice
• Tea M&S baked potatos and salad
• Large M&S beef crisps

Hi Veggie,
I am no one to give ANYONE diet advice, AND I'm NOT a calorie slave BUT having said that, one of the things I have been doing is buying a load of fruit (I believe Tesco's stock it) including some I think of as 'treats' like strawberries, Sharon fruit, fresh pineapple etc, making a fruit salad using a tin of fruit in juice (mandarins are best) too which makes it a bit more swishy. I put it in a big plastic box in the fridge, and have it with a low fat Ski yoghurt (tropical selection from Tesco once again) over the top. It's more interesting than a banana and the addition of the goodies makes me feel like I'm eating it because I want it.
I would happily cook for a veggie, it's the only kind of cooking I'm good at. Was one myself for years and years until I got knocked up and developed a craving for ham sandwiches. DH and kids are carnivores, the cat is nervous.
Avoiding cheese is SOOOOO hard for a veggie, and the low fat stuff is no good for cooking (or so i think anyway). I use a teaspoon of red pesto sauce in veg sauces to cheer them up a bit, OR skin some fresh tomatoes in boliling water, chop up and cook with some fresh basil (gently until mushy) pour over pasta.
The other thing you can do to make a creamy but low cal sauce which is hugely good for you is use tofu. I loathe the slimy stuff, but if you have a blender of any kind, you can whizz it up into instant sauce which tastes of very little on it's own but is very creamy and picks up on the flavours of your veg. i give it to my family and they don't have aclue what they are eating! It's nice like this...cook some pasta in a wok or similar, not too much water, but put a veg stock cube in. When the water had evaporated a bit, put in some purple sprouting broccoli, the whizzed up tofu and some chopped red onion, OR some spinach, tofu and nutmeg. Cook until edible then as my 4 year old would say 'yum it up'
Good luck. I'm going to do this, eventually. Don't see why you shouldn't BUT don't be a slave to it. Food is supposed to be a pleasure, not a crime. Cheese pasties are vile, all that saturated fat in the pastry and contents, plus the additives and preservatives, not only fattening but probably carcenogenic...in years to come people will be sueing Pork Farms and their ilk the way they sue fag companies now.
Better than counting calories, try to eat food which hasn't been processed in a factory. A differnet slant on food may help you.
Good luck anyway,
geneve

I find it hard to think of cheese pastys as vile I get mine from the bakers and they are lovely...but I got this plan now haven't started it yet but I'll give it a bash it is from real slimmers :rolleyes: I don't know what possessed me but I have done it now I get an emailed plan every monday for 12 weeks!

Good for you Veggie.
