Top Tip Lunch Ideas

[Topper]

Is that the five days eating normally and two days of fasting diet?

I suspect so Paul it is all the rage, but I have not tried it yet a friend of my wife's has been on that diet for five or 6 month now and has lost shedloads of weight in the region of nearly two stone

Also picked up a tip from someone on an ex pat forum who suggested using a smaller plate.....sounds a bit silly or even obvious but it does work.....

The only problem I have with weight is the lack of it, no matter what I eat I can't put weight on, I am just over 6ft and weigh around 12st, but I do try to eat healthy most of the time.

Ditto.

...I am just over 6ft and weigh around 12st.....

Damn.....so I just have to grow 8"??

 

[PaulR]

I haven't been 12 stone since early teen years...

 

[sonnetpete]

......and I start the "amazing height increase" treatment tomorrow....



.......though I won't need to diet again by the looks of it.....

I reached 12st at about 14/15yrs old paul, and then stopped, on occasions I have got to 13st, when work is very slow.

Part of the extensive reconstruction surgery I underwent between 2000 and 2003 involved gory apparatus which enabled me to restore about three inches of "lost" (Military Service) height from my left femur.

I can laugh about it now, but it shaded Gout by a long, long way.

I am 5'11" and weigh just over 12 stone (or 78kg in my language)...and an trying to lose it. Doing some running and had a nice chilli con qourn with a delicious Bajan hot sauce.... Yummy

Well my wife is sightseeing in London this weekend, and I am home alone, so its a quick fix for me when I return from the pub, Poop peas and the oven is at the ready for my return.

Well Lady Tivu is also away for the day, so I had Egg & Chips with Ketchup and Brown Sauce.

Martin-f....your sooooo lucky ...a Lovely British pie........TBH......I'm really quite envious........( my supply of ... "Pukka pies" ....ran out months ago) :-( .......

Just got back from a late and extended lunch with English friends who have a second home here. Both born and bred in Yorkshire, so we had Yorkshire puddings as a first course, then roast lamb, mash, veggies and more Yorkshires and apple crumble for afters.....it's supposed to be my diet day too...

@Steve Steve : My local supermarket stocks Pukka Pies though I'm not that desperate to purchase one at about twice the price you would pay in the UK. An English butcher has opened a shop in my local town too, which the ex pats will no doubt support until they decide meat is meat and you can buy something cheaper in the supermarket....I do fancy a pork pie though LOL

Or until the realise he is supplying the same meat as the French butchers and the only thing English about the shop is the bloke running it and the prices

As herself is not due home until after 7pm, I are mostly been eating Cheese/Onion and Cheese/Tomato Toasties for tea.

Edit: Just made a second round and ran out of Edam, so I made one half with Camembert (and Onion) >>>> It was absolutely delicious. A revelation, in fact.

The pie was lovely TBH, but it will be nice to have my wife back home tomorrow and slave over the stove next sunday .

Slightly larger trays then (Or a tiny bit less batter): I used to use Bun-sized ones, but find the very best are Muffin Trays.

Thank you G , worked a treat, next shelf down next time/turn oven down a little .

 

[Lazarus]

Yep, I think those will be perfect next time.

Mind you, SWMBO likes those extra crunchy tops, whereas I prefer a soggy bottom.
