Ok so I have discovered an amazing way to half yes HALF the calories in your meals... are you ready?

I did this with rice today but I am sure it is applicable to most foods

Whilst cooking the rice (or whatever) start playing candy crush saga and totally forget you have food cooking. Burn half the food to the bottom of the pan and be too darn lazy to start again.. Ta Da!

Yeah, I am an idiot! :grumble:

    in addition to that... not to get so frustrated with the whole process and throw the pot out because it is just too darn hard to clean the burnt food from the bottom of it without a blow torch... been there too.. love these fun little life lessons.. lol

    Drat, you stole my secret diet trick! It's okay, I've still got the old standby of "engage in a cleaning standoff with your housemates until there's no clean cookware in the entire house and just eat raw fruit and veg rather than give in and wash their dirty dishes". It'll be a best-seller!

    Another handy tip, if you burn the pot of quinoa, your house will smell so bad you won't want to eat for several days! Handy handy.

    That happened with my quesadillas yesterday. It didn't work tho because I just scraped the insides onto a new tortilla ans stopped housecleaning :P

    Added a step that makes the trick not work!
