You can eat low fat Dairy products and the calcium in them helps you get rid of other fat in your digestive system as the calcium causes it to bind together and not get absorbed.
A good protein breakfast (weight for weight with any other breakfast) makes you less hungry at midday so you eat less.
You continue burning calories after exercise is completed while your body recovers.
One of SS smoothies better than eating the individual items as it takes longer to leave your stomach and your stomach doesn't shrink as quickly prompting the hunger pangs.
Works for soups as well.
Interesting stuff, so SS is not a food fascist after all :rolleyes: :D
Very few, provided someone buys it for you!

Many, many cals in beer (and some vitamins).
That pain is a nice feeling though, it means isn't wasn't long till your last hard workout! We got smashed on a circuit yesterday morning, felt especially painful after hitting the gym the night before!Quote:

Done well this week, no chocolate/beer/crisps, just healthy food all the way. Only odd snack was nuts and dried fruit combo.
DT did you eat the Ducks bread? :mad: :DQuote:

Oy! Just don't be tempted by their oat stuff - best go and feed them at the weekend!!!Quote:

BUT a pending weekend with my folks means lots of meals and they're telling me I have to help them with all the chocolate they were given for Christmas :angry:
I saw bits of it. 'twas indeed interesting stuff, but some of it was common sense. For instance, reducing the size of your plate means you'll be satisfied eating less. I wondered what that actress/comedian was on, thinking she could eat masses of food, but because it was healthy, it wouldn't count. Healthy grub's still got calories in! :rolleyes: I also find it difficult to get my head round the fact that people nearly always underestimate their intake: I can remember everything that passes through my lips (even the odd picky/snacky stuff). Strange.Quote:

Because the body thinks there might not be food just around the corner. :confused:
As for my food fascism, I've been known to wander round the office and slap anyone eating a packet of crisps!
Fate has once more got between me and temptation. I went down to the canteen to get a fork (having left mine at home today), saw mince pies were only 20p, was about to pick one up when I realised I'd left my shrapnel in my bag upstairs. Disaster narrowly averted once more!
So, beer is good for us?? :w00t: Hooray!Quote:

Hilarious! But wrong. Oatcakes are wicked. Especially with a load of yummy cheese...mmmm. You saw what Alf wrote about last night's programme: calcium helps stop fat being absorbed into the body. Go get yourself a chunk of stilton, or blacksticks blue, and watch the weight fall off! ;)Quote:

Melt some stilton on it (or Wensleydale and cranberry would go nice, I bet) and you're good to go. Washed down with Stolly's 7 pints!Quote:

Plus, just because someone looks skinnier, we are talking about % body fat, which is the key, and pretty much everyone would like to reduce that! :)

Weight 12st 4.8 (173lbs down 4)
Fat 19.2% (down 0.6)
I'm now below my target weight, looks like I'll have to lose the tub then build it back up. I was hoping I might just be able to miraculously turn the mince pies into muscle...:rolleyes:
