When we were in the UK (2010) we ate Fish n' Chips for dinner every night in a different pub or food establishment. Especially delightful when the fish was served over mushy peas.

Our beverage choice was J2O, something that is not available here in the US.

My daughter agrees with you but I have not tried it yet as I have lost and kept off half a stone this week, even having had a proper meal last night and suffered the usual 2 pound boune back.

Well done Teddy, don't be tempted by the chips.

[NikitahDE]

Ummmm. chips

Currently on a three day diet, Hardest bit is no milk or butter as I do enjoy my tea, but am reduced to black coffee. Just had tuna and toast for lunch - no butter just tuna on toast. Still its only three days and they say you can lose up to ten pounds in weight. I will let you know, and publish the diet sheet if it works, I shall sulk and eat chocolate if it doesn't

Go for it, Teddles - You can do it...

Good luck Teddy.

Day three and I could eat a dead dog. Thought of swapping one of the children for a cup of tea with milk. And what I would do for a bar of Fruit and Nut does not bear thinking about.

Teddles, get a grip on yourself, will ya? Please remember that you're doing it for an excellent cause........

I wouldn't be surprised if you put back all you lose plus some within a week or two, crash diets are useless as a long term solution you need to alter your lifestyle to some extent; if all else fails have part of your stomach sealed off.

All most fancy diets do is put money in somebody's pocket, and it ain't your own; I had 2 wives, both kept trying different diets, none worked for long.

Eat food without all the fancy sauces and garnishes, meat and veg cooked properly is all you need, no stodgy desserts, more fruit less pastry/sponge/suet pud; plus you need to have an active lifestyle, that doesn't mean spending pounds on a gym or a set of weights and exercise cycle. It means doing a bit more walking, swimming, cycling. Aerobics is just a fancy name for PT with music.Exercising in a Gym or on machines at home doesn't get any fresh air into your lungs, mind you with your fag intake you probably don't have enough lung left to take advantage of fresh air. I know the difference I used to smoke 30+ a day, if I hadn't given up when I did about 10/12 years ago I doubt if I'd still be here.

Sweets in moderation, a bar of choc lasts me at least a week. I may splurge from time to time with cream scones or dumplings but they are not part of a regular diet. I've never eaten a Pizza, don't intend to start either. I'm actually losing a bit of weight, about half a stone/3 kilos in a year

Stop and think, consider where you want to be in 10 or 15 years time, above or below ground.

You are wrong Mike. Every time I have been on a crash diet I have kept the weight off, give or take a pound or two. I only put weight on after my heart surgery and have managed up to now to lose two and a half stone. One more to go and I will be down to fourteen stone which is realistic at my age. As far as fancy diets are concerned I have never paid for one, or brought special food. My wife is a very healthy eater, fresh fruit, veg and good meat. Being a cripple exercise is a problem, mostly got in the garden doing the heavy work while my wife weeds and plants.

Ps My favorite food is bacon and eggs. Bacon grilled and eggs cooked in a low fat butter substitute. Probably eaten one every two weeks

[hwood]

Well that three day diet was rubbish so I will not bother to print it. I lost two or three ponds and found it harder than my crash diet regieme. Glad it did not cost me anything. So back to the grindstone (I may not be eating much but what I do eat will taste good).

[Automobill]

Do you really want to loose weight????

[neerewed]

No Colin, its just a hobby.

OK fair enough......

[ingeneensueva]

For anyone that is interested this is a diet given to patients before an operation and does work. I say no more but apologise for the poor quality. Do not vary the diet

Hmmm, looks do-able........Thanx for sharing.

Thanks for the diet sheet but that is exactly the one I followed and I stuck to it rigorously. No variations and no cheating. I found it very hard with no milk or butter but I followed it to the letter. It did not work for me which I found very disappointing. I have since spoken to my diabetic nurse and she said several of the nurses at the practice have tried it, with the same results. I am not saying it will not work for anyone. Try it and see. I have also tried the cabbage soup diet in the past, recommender by the British Heart Foundation, and even with that one I only lost five pounds in a week two pounds of which I put back on. I will have a bit of a break this weekend and then hammer it again next week. Fingers crossed This is the lightest I have been since my heart surgery and it works for me by eating very little. I always think that if I am feeling hungry, I am losing weight..

teddy

[luffyplayaz]

Well I am down to 15'5 and holding. It is now time to hammer it again espesially as we have some old friends coming over next Saturday and I will almost certainly eat too much that night. 15 stone (210 pouns) here I come.
