You Are What You Eat

[soozmac]

here's a thought. Instead of Gillian McKeith taking obese people who spend their days shoving junk into their faces and not ever taking any excerise, and helping them to lose a few stone (which, by radically altering their diet, is inevitable anyway, it's not rocket science), she should try helping someone like me, who eats stupidly healthily, exercises 4 times a week and can't lose any weight at all. Wouldn't that be more of a challenge than getting doughnut-munchers to eat some aduki beans?

[snagged]

yes.. but not as good TV.. people like to see more 'instant results... ;o(

[Octavius]

I am almost certain that if you don�t eat lots of red (i.e. BAD) meat and/or fast food, or smoke and drink copious amounts of alcohol on a daily basis without doing any exercise, then you just wouldn�t be invited on the show.

Besides which, your poo must be laudible by comparison.

The funny thing is � who would want to look like G McKeith anyway? She looks and walks like a Fraggle!!

Octavius, i think she looks and walks kinda weird too. I watched it the other night and when they saw all the food and cr@p on the table, what did they expect, bodies like Elle MacPherson??? Its not rocket science as soozmac says.

[soozmac]

Octavius, uou leave my poo out of this! Although I did misread your reply and thought that you said my poo must be audible in comparison. I wasn't quite sure what to say to that!

Yes, she's not the best advert for clean and healthy living, is she? I think I read once that she suffers from some kind of muscular disease or other, which causes her terrible posture. I reckon a nice cream cake would sort that out. It's her kids I feel sorry for. "Mum, can I have some sweets?" Then there follows a half hour lecture on why they are bad for you, exactly what they do to your body, ending with a handful of brazil nuts and a glass of water.

[Goodsoulette]

ahhh... I like Brazil nuts, although I probs would prefer a Double Decker.

Sooz, just out of interest do you watch your glycaemic index?

[soozmac]

what's a glycaemic index?

[PinkFizz]

She walks funny coz she has curvature of the spine.

[Goodsoulette]

soozmac, it sort of categorises food into 3 categories, high, medium and low. Its all to do with how much sugar is in the foods. Its the diet a diabetic would follow and it is the only way I can lose weight at all. You might have a problem with your insulin receptors and your bidy might be overloaded with sugar anyway. For example, you might pick eating a fruit salad which on the surface is brilliant but ifits gor fruit that high on the glycaemic index it might be a cause of weight gain. Its very easy to follow, in Australian supermarkets they label foods up with there GI Index and Tesco is following suit too. It works in strange ways too though, depends how well you want to follow it, cooking foods in different ways will give them a different index count, because of the way the food breaks down.

PunkFuzz, I am aware that she has scoliosis. Whilst we can accept that, I was talking from personal experience when I bumped (not literally) into her at Euston station one morning. A frightening sight indeed and she is about 4 feet tall, are you going to tell me she has achondroplasia as well??!

Sooz, your poop may well be audible, in which case I suspect you might be lined up for a special edition of the show!
