Food, glorious food

[lnr]

An interesting meme started yesterday (well OK, yesterday is when I first saw it). The idea is to truthfully blog for a week everything you've eaten, in a no fear or favour sort of way, and trying not to change what you would have eaten to make it look any different. Anyway this is what I ate yesterday, and I'll try keep it up.

Addendum: it's supposed to be a sort of anti-diet thing really. Openly eating what _you_ like, regardless of what anyone else might think. Read the original article for a better explanation.

Breakfast at work: can diet coke, toasted mozzarella/cheddar/tomato/basil sandwich.

Lunch from canteen thing: Can diet coke, houmous and salad sandwich, walkers cheese and onion crisps, caramel slice thing.

Mid-afternoon snack:4 or 5 pieces of leftover homemade bonfire toffee from the tub which is sitting on my desk.

Dinner at Mike's: homemade bolognese sauce, half a garlic and coriander naan, glass of water.

Snack at bedtime: parma violets lolly, fun size packet skittles.

Heh. That's easy for me - four weeks ago, every day for a week I had a milkshake for breakfast, a milkshake for lunch and a mug of soup in the evening. For the last three weeks, I have had a milkshake for breakfast, a diet bar for lunch and a mug of soup in the evening. Ah, the joys of the predicatability of the Cambridge Diet :-)

Hope it's working for you. Personally I just can't get over the concept of eating so few calories a day!

No arguments over what to cook, that way!

Actually, it's been remarkably easy, and is working well for both me and the bellinghman. It never occured to either of us think about the number of calories (or lack of), we've just got on with it and we've not had any problems or had to change our lifestyle in any way (other than the fact we can't have any alcohol, but for us, that's no biggie). I like the fact that in effect the calorie-counting has been done for us - I think that diets where you have to count the calories yourself end up with you obsessing about the number of calories you're having, which I'm sure doesn't help. I'm already almost at my target weight, the bellinghman still has a way to go, but within a couple of weeks of starting the diet he found that he was sleeping a lot better, and he's stopped snoring, which means I sleep better, too :-) Now if only I could find out what makes me snore - it's obviously not weight-related...

Absolutely - and precious little washing up, too :-)

Ah it's just it's only about 500cals a day, and I've always been taught that it's really not good for you to go below about 1000. If it was exactly the same system but based on twice as many calories I might actually give it a go.

And the other problem, for me, with diets like Cambridge is that there absolutely no treatment for the root cause that made you overweight in the first place. So the likelihood of putting it back on again, for me, is extremey high.
