Phew...

I'm constantly struggling to keep weight off - with varying levels of success - I was pleased to read this article :

So sporting a 'beer' belly is not as bad for your health as it may seem.

They'll be telling us next we should be eating butter and not margarine.

 

I eat butter and usually have squid and chips for lunch, can't seem to get over 10 stone though

 

Margarine has been considered bad for a while now.

Most of the widely accepted health advice dates back to the 1980s and earlier, and much of it has since been proven to be utter horse manure.

Official nhs diet advice still has people making themselves seriously ill with various deficiencies, by ruling out saturated fats (essential if you want various fat soluble vitamins) and eating lots of diabetes inducing carbs while depriving your body of the protein it needs.

If you stick to official government guidelines for diet, you actually can't get what you need without consuming so much that you'd put on lots of weight. Ie, you can't achieve the right nutrient requirements within your calorie allowance if you follow official guidelines. Well you probably can, but it would cost loads and take all your time up studying data.

 

No need for fancy diets, just get a smaller plate/bowl and get a dog to take for walks.

 

Oh I don't need either ... I get by with middle-aged spread

 

Did you read the article? You're doomed, I tell yer: dooooooooooomed!!!!

 

If i'm doooomed then so's my pet tapeworm

 

I play little heed to the latest health advice . At least two a week are blared out on breakfast Tv.
Eggs are bad for you then good.....
Ginger nut biscuits are carcinogenic ....
Grilled is better than fried , have you ever tried to grill a Mars bar , impossible !!!

 

I boil my Mars bars It's healthier.

 

I'll start a "Save The Tapeworm" campaign

 

One of my (student) sons had a fancy for a slice of fried bread.
Out came the frying pan, out came a slice of bread, on went the hob, in went the bread.
He was sooooo disappointed!!!

"It was like bad toast!" he moaned.
"Yes, son. Try adding some fat for it to FRY in"

 

Just going to find a bowel for you to keep it in

 

Would that be a cereal or pasta bowel?

 

Aah, now see, not having mains electric, I make my toast in a dry frying pan then add butter to the first side while the second side is browning
