Cassis Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 No changes here, I shouldn't think. I hope not, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I don't have a sweet tooth, so I cannot cut down on choccies, sweets orcakes... I don't eat crisps, not much cheese, love bread though! No excess of anything in particular, but I could be more active, so...I will not change my food intake, as I know I will not stick to it, but I will do more to burn off the calories...I will compensate by every naughty 'excess' by doing something 'worthy':1 drink at apéro = 1 'deliberate' glass of water1 more-copious-than-usual meal = 1 extra walk...The extra exercise should help towards shifting the current unhealthy balance towards the good side!Does that make sense???

Cassis Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I like Clair's approach. Up the exercise rather than starve yourself of what you like, assuming you're not eating lard cakes with chocolate topping at every meal swilled down with a bucket of ale.

Cassis Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah, but going for walks is such fun and the fresh air's great - it's one of the reasons we moved here, to be able to take walks and ride bikes for miles in the forest without meeting a soul.

Hoddy Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 BBC 2 is advertising a series “The Truth about Food”. Apparently they put nine volunteers on an ape’s diet with staggering results. A dramatic decrease in cholesterol, blood pressure and weight in just twelve days.Maybe we can learn something from that ?The trouble is (referring to the old thread) I don't like fruit.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 What will you be eating? Whatever I want, but not a lot of it! Funnily enough, I'm not a great lover of fruit either, or veg come to that.[:$]Love the new avatar Dick, much more friendly looking & that colour lippy really suits you.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beryl Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Any curry made in France is 'pretend' [:D] . I hadn't had a raisin in a curry since the 1960s Nesta ? packet version .I love veggies and have to have most of my fruit intake via a fruit salad . I can't eat too much of any one type of fruit so I usually make a bowl of fruit salad ( but I don't refridgerate it in the winter, as I don't like really cold fruit either!)

Suninfrance Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 I used to love those Vesta curries.My ancient Marguerite Patten cookery book has a really nice recipe for chicken curry which involves sultanas and to top the curry when it's served up a sliced banana. A bit fiddly to make, but deeeeeeeeelicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
