Grape diet

[mollykins]

Is a diet where, for one day a week you only eat grapes, healthy for an 84 year old? i think she drinks normally though . . . .

[mccfluff]

wine?

[society]

Green or black? just curious...

[mccfluff]

and what variety - that's important soc...

[mollykins]

I don't know, I think she normally has green.

[jaydah]

like fermenting spirits in old oak barrels

[ummmm]

Yeah, what does she drink?

[mollykins]

Tea, coffee, fruit juice, water.

[ummmm]

And one day a week she eats just grapes? Nothing else at all? She's 84 and you're concerned?

[mollykins]

She only started doing it recently.

[ummmm]

Have you tried asking her why?

[mollykins]

Yet on the other days she'll eat stuff like beef stew, fish and chips or a roast dinner.

[boxtops]

There is nothing nourishing in grapes, high sugar and some fibre.

[mollykins]

She wants to lose weight and drop a dress size i think, at 84, nearly 85!

[mccfluff]

ahhh yes the drop a dress size grape diet, i tried it, drank nothing but wine for a month, not sure about a dress size def lost my mind a few times

[mrs_overall]

Suggest she goes on the wine and stress diet

[society]

Is it your nan, Molls?

[mollykins]

yes society. They're careful with their money and hardly ever have alcohol btw.

[mrs_overall]

She can't be that careful with her money if she can afford to buy a load of imported grapes at this time of year - they cost a fortune

[society]

Grapes do contain lots of sugar so eating a whole lot won't help much with dieting. Why not suggest to her a diet of small, regular meals with more salads, fish, water, whole grains etc.

grapes = sugar = fat
