    here are some takeaways I estimated before.

    Those numbers are shocking! I knew obviously that take-aways were high in calories but I suppose I never really thought about the actual figures.

    I am always weighing take away food out of habit. The chipper with that menu do give bags of a similar size, about 450g.

    Most are twice the size of ready meals in supermarkets.

    People go on about mcdonalds food not being filling, as though there is some magical additive or something in it. The standard burgers & meal sizes are simply not that big a portion size, a big mac is 490kcal. But its rare to hear people say the portions are scabby, just this comment about feeling hungry an hour later.

    People may not often pour out chips on a plate so might not realise how big it is. My housemate was buying "tesco finest oven chips", they were about 400g, meant for 2-3 people, I was saying that with the cost of electricity for the oven it would be cheaper to get a single bag delivered from the chipper. You can look at it as good value. I usually get 2 feeds from any chinese takeaway.

    Any ideas what would be light on the stomach to eat? I haven't eaten since Wednesday night. Stomach was in bits Thursdsy morning, got sick and a some diarroeha. Felt ok Thursday night so I had a tiny piece of plain chicken breast and it came out 10 mins later. got up this morning feeling fine, again tried a tiny bit of food and out it came again.

    dry toast? crackers? chicken broth? Vindaloo?

    chewing gum, that takes 7 years to go through apparently, and if you do happen to expel it quickly you might make some interesting bubbles

    I'd say your best bet may be to starve yourself for 24 to 48hrs.

    There was a bug going round a while ago I ended up having to go the doctors who prescribed me some medicine but general advice was starve myself for a few days then when I felt ready dry plain toast to test the waters.

    Anyone trying vinegar with meals? 1 tbsp is supposed to have all kinds of benefits (lower blood sugar [not that I care about that :)], more useable energy etc), but I'm getting a localized pain in my left arm (tendon) after a few days of 3 tbsp/day. Is vinegar leeching minerals, and would I need to get some supplements, or any other explanation? Noone else reports this side effect.

    I've a pretty nutritions diet (e.g. ox tail soup tonight, eggs etc) otherwise, and tried the vinegar a few times, and every time I get this side-effect...

    Vinegar in rat models can aid glycogen replenishment after excercise so maybe you're trying to stuff a bit too much glycogen in the bicep. :)

    That depends on how much of it you eat and what you eat the rest of the day. There's no one food item that is good or bad. It should be looked at in the context of your day/week as a whole.

    It's just as a snack 2/3 times weekly. Every other bit of my diet is grand (I think - followed instruction from this thread :pac:) I'm not trying to lose weight either - more just trying to vary what I eat.

    I haven't posted in ages, but I have been reading some threads. I've noticed two justifications for eating/doing less than healthy things that have increased in popularity in the past year.
    The first seems to be an attitude of 'well it's better than x so I'm going to eat y instead' which sounds fine until you read some of the x's and y's
    The second is a more complicated replacement relationship where the person seems to use things that they don't have/do or never did/had(at least so far) and use it as positive so that they can do a negative.

    I loled.


    In case any of you do either of these things and are now getting heated up for a reply, stop for a minute, breathe/chill, think a bit and realise it doesn't matter partly because I don't care how anybody else eats and it really shouldn't matter to you what other people are thinking. The part I'm interested in is how the mind works and why.

    If I replace meals with a thimbleful of marvellously-marketed liquid, will I not have a bikini-body like the hottie in the ad?

    That stuff needs regulation. I honestly feel these fads are fuelling the weight problem.

    It takes hard work, there's just no other way, it doesn't have to be torture, and there are definitely things you can do to make it easier (eat filling, healthier foods for one) but there is DEFINITELY no easy way. I would have found it. I would have sold it and I'd be typing this on my Carribbean island right now. :)

    They also fuel the continuous promotion of themselves.

    Meal-replacement for X weeks -> back to 'normal' eating -> weight goes back on -> meal replacement package is purchased again.

    And the beat goes on.

    But healthy eating isn't sexy. It's green-and-wilted/grey, it's bland and it tastes like cardboard, obvz.

    One of the best quotes I read on the subject is 'People will do ANYTHING to lose weight...except eat healthy and exercise.'

    Also, the emphasis is always on losing the weight, that's all anyone wants the hear about, when the real hard part is maintaining. Maintaining is at least 3 times harder. You have no 'yay I lost a lb' feeling to sustain you, 'oh, I'm the same weight, yay?' doesn't quite give the same buzz.

    so dont maintain, constantly cut and bulk in smaller and smaller increments.

    I lost 9 grams, awesome, time to bulk again. I gained 12 grams beast mode. cut time!

    Didn't see it posted here so here goes. Apart if pasta is cold, you absorb less calories from it. Even less if it is reheated! It going cold makes your body treat it more like fibre apparently, and even more so if you reheat it.

    I don't really like pasta myself but thought it might be of interest! Can't help but feel dubious myself.

    Just wondering what people's views are on this as someone mentioned in a thread here the other day about some PT's talking bullish!t.

    Where I'm working there's a health coach/PT guy who runs free classes at lunchtimes during the week and offers free meetings to discuss people's training and diets etc. so I set up a meeting with him there the other week for him to do an appraisal of my diet and training routine. All fine, told me of a few things I should change or cut out but a few things made me wonder. He said to not bother with the whey protein shakes I'd take after workouts as he said they're mainly for people trying to bulk up (I'm trying to cut). I was always under the impression and also what is said on these forums regularly that there's nothing special about protein shakes, they're just a quick and easy hit of protein. Not too sure what he was on about there.
    The other thing he said was if I was having a protein shake to not have it with milk but water instead, as the fat molecules in milk counteract the protein shake in some way, really not sure about that one. Have ye ever heard anything about that!?

    He also encouraged to eat more in the morning time and less as the day goes on but again just wondering if this ties in with the whole myth of not being able to eat after a certain hour. Cals in v cals out is surely all that matters?

    I'll get a chance to meet him again so I can question some of these things. Not trying to discredit him or anything I'm just wondering why he might have said some of these things. Any thoughts?

    Protein shakes aren't just for bulking. It's just a convenient way of getting in protein. Once you're conscious of the kcal in them you can use them anytime.

    Having them with milk doesn't counteract anything. It might mean slower absorption but it doesn't mean the milk had somehow cancelled out the protein.

    Doesn't matter when you eat in the day really.

    Protein shakes are adding in calories. If you are trying to lose weight, it'll be easier to stick to your target calories and probably more satiating if you stick to whole food.
    I agree with the PT that there's no real need for shakes for somebody trying to lose weight. Most of the time they are hindering progress unless they have a good understanding of nutrition.


    One exception to this is if you don't have convenient a protein source after the gym. If you can eat real food, but if you can't shakes can fill the void. The PT was prob referring to the fact that mixing with water will be absorbed faster. On top of that there's the calories in the milk.

    lets talk fats? what is fats really? why people suffer from obesity?
    FAT, HDL, LDL AND FATTY TUMOR (LIPOMA)

    Fat is present in all the food that we eat. Generally, people say
    that fat is present only in oily items and coconut. But, fat is present not
    only in these items but also in all the grains and all the foods. If fat related
    items get digested well and mix in the blood, then it is good fat.
    If fat-related items do not get digested properly and then the
    improperly digested ones mix in the blood, it is called bad fat. Properly
    digested fats are called good cholesterol and improperly digested fats
    are called bad cholesterol. Doctors have given them the names HDL
    (High Density Lipoprotein) and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)
    respectively.
    If the fat in the food that we eat is properly digested, then it is
    called good fat or good cholesterol or HDL. The fat which is not
    digested properly is called bad fat or bad cholesterol or LDL. So, please
    do not be afraid of the words HDL and LDL. Good fat is HDL and bad fat
    is LDL.
    When improperly digested fats i.e. bad fats (LDL) mix in the blood,
    they get stagnated here and there and form as tumors. These are called
    fatty tumors, fat globules, or Lipoma. If the bad fats in the blood get
    deposited to the walls of the blood veins, the way inside the veins for
    the passage of blood will get blocked and this can cause increase in the
    blood pressure. Whichever body parts bad fats enter into, all those
    body parts will get diseases. Liver will take this bad fat, convert it into
    bile and store it in gall bladder.
    In order that the food that we eat gets digested in the stomach,
    bile should be supplied by the gall bladder. Bile is a fluid that helps in
    the process of digestion. Bile which is created using bad fat cannot do
    the job of digestion properly. When bad fat (bad cholesterol) goes to
    the heart and clogs the passage at various locations, it is called heart
    blockage. Therefore, the only reason for fat globules, rise in blood
    pressure, improper digestion, blockage in the heart, etc. is the fact that
    improperly digested fat items in the food that we eat mix in the blood.
    There are doctors who cut and remove the fat globules. But, after
    removing it through operation, do they teach you the proper way of
    consuming fat items from then on so that good fats mix in the blood?
    Do the doctors who prescribe medicines and tablets to control the
    increasing BP teach you the methods by which bad fat can be removed
    from the blood veins and good fat from the food we eat goes into the
    blood?
    Doctors remove the four or five blocks in the heart through
    bypass surgery and angioplasty using balloon, etc. Treatment is given
    only for taking out bad fats and blocks from the heart. But, nobody
    teaches the technique as to how the fat-related items that we eat can
    be digested and mixed as good fat in the blood. Instead of this, they
    advise us, Do not eat fat-related item from now on wards. Do not
    add fat to food at all. After listening to this advice, people
    stop eating fat-related items. All these people will end up getting a
    bigger disease shortly. This is because fat is an item which is very
    essential for all the parts of the body.
    Wherever two cells touch each other in our body, only if the
    paste-like fats are present between the two cells as covering material
    and packing material, the cells can function properly. Thus, fat
    materials are present between any two cells. There will always be an
    oily matter on the surface of our skin. This is also a kind of fat only. This
    oily paste is the wonderful shield which protects us from skin-related
    diseases. Moreover, 80% of the fat matter from the blood is absorbed
    by the liver, converted into bile and stored in the gall bladder. When all
    the food we eat enters the stomach, bile must be secreted for digesting
    it.
    So, is it right to say that we should not eat fat which is such an
    essentially needed item for all the body parts from head to toe? Only
    those doctors who do not know the role played by the fat in our body
    will advise us not to eat fat items.
    Therefore, please do not be afraid of consuming fat items. Fat is
    an important and essential item required by our body. Because we do
    not know how to properly digest the fat in the food, bad fat goes inside
    the body and creates disease. But not eating fat at all is not the solution
    for this. The proper and correct treatment by the doctor should be to
    teach the technique of how to eat fat-related items so that they get
    converted into good fat.
    Therefore, in our treatment, fat-related diseases can be cured
    only if those having fat-related diseases eat oily dishes, coconut, etc.
    We will teach you the secret technique of how to eat fat-related items.
    By following this, you can cure all fat-related diseases just by eating oily
    dishes, coconut and other fat-related items.
    Doctors advise you not to eat coconut-related items. This is funny.
    Coconut is one of the best foods in the world. Coconut is given as
    sacred offering to God and distributed to devotees in temples. Just
    think whether a bad thing will be given as offering to God. Coconut
    contains all the minerals and all the other good things needed for the
    body. Coconut is one of the best natural foods available to mankind.
    Why should we not eat such a food?
    In olden days, our forefathers used to drink a mixture of coconut
    milk and Palm sugar, and drive away all the diseases. Ask your
    grandfather or grandmother. They will tell you what a life-saving
    medicine is this mixture of coconut and Palm sugar.
    So, whatever disease anyone gets, he can cure it by drinking the
    mixture of coconut milk and Palm sugar. This solution is the one
    medicine which can cure all the diseases. Several years ago, when our
    forefathers took a person struggling for life to a doctor and when the
    doctors tried all the medicines and still were not able to cure the
    person, the coconut milk medicine was given as the last resort to the
    person given up by the doctor.
    The coconut milk that we refer to is not the colorful hot coconut
    milk which is sold in all the streets nowadays. The coconut milk is
    prepared in a unique way. In southern districts of Tamil Nadu, for
    preparing a dish called “sodhi, coconut granule is made by grating the
    coconut. This is made by making the white material of a coconut into
    small fine pieces by grating. If we press this grated material firmly on
    our palm and add a little water, we will get milk-like solution. As per
    age-old medicine, if we give one glass of this coconut milk to a patient
    struggling for life and who is given up by the doctor, he will survive.
    Thus, our forefathers used to save lives using the coconut milk.
    But now if our grandfather or grandmother is struggling for life, we give cow milk to through the hands of their grandson or
    granddaughter and snatch their lives! Therefore, hereafter, do not give
    cow milk to people struggling for life. “give them coconut milk.
    There will be a small problem in giving coconut milk and saving
    life. The separation of the assets of grandfather or grandmother by the sons and daughters will be delayed! So if you want the property of your grandfather or grandmother immediately, then take away their lives by giving cow milk if they need to be alive and be with you for a long time, then give coconut milk and save their lives.
    Therefore, coconut is not an item to be avoided at all. By learning
    the technique as to how to eat the coconut so that it gets digested well
    and is converted into good fat, just by eating coconut all those having
    fat-related diseases can be cured of their diseases.
    Some people are afraid when they see oily dishes. Oil is an
    absolutely essential item that is needed by our body. So what is there
    to fear about it? We add oil in our food because our body needs fat.
    Therefore, please do not be afraid of oily dishes. The problem lies in the
    fact that we are not able to digest even ordinary oil. There is no
    problem with the oily dish.
    We are now going to learn how to eat oily dishes and oil-related
    items so that it can be converted into good fat. So, from now onwards,
    we can cure all fat-related diseases just by eating oil dishes and oil related items.

    Speaking of oily dishes, I FINALLY found a shop-bought mayonnaise that isn't made with crappy oils high in omega 6.

    It's called Sir Kensington's, and it's only available from amazon in the US, that only ships to the US, so I am getting a reship company to reship it to me.

    Yes I really do miss mayonnaise that much, and no anytime I've made it myself it hasn't been the same.

    How much was it. I see it on amazon.co.uk it said it will not deliver to Ireland but accepted my belfast parcel motel address, refused my dublin address

    €70.24 for 10x10oz including delivery (delivery is £2.52). Then parcel motels fees on top of that.

    Can you link me that? That's cheaper than I got it, I think with postage ended up at over €16 a jar!:eek:

    It's the real deal though, it's not hellman's but it's like really delicate mayo like you get when they make it from scratch in a good restaurant. I've been having potato salad, egg mayo and tuna mayo all week long it's great!
