Because if I turn around too quickly unpackaged I can do some serious damage. No vase is safe.

I very low carbed for around 6 months last year and was glad I did it as it seemed to reduced cravings and get me more in touch with what was hunger vs a want. I moved back to restricting nothing as I couldn't see the metabolic advantage long-term in continuing and I wanted more variety and less rules. As others have said,…

I like you.

Grew up around Medway, moved to Brisbane, Australia 8 years ago. Give my regards to the pubs 'cos I miss them dearly sometimes :)

I don't go to sleep, I pass out.

Good for you, here's to life and an appreciation of how precious it is.

I have a 38g 'charity size' Cadbury Boost bar every workday around 11am. I'm not a big 'sweet' person but I do look forward to my daily ritual ... And it helps our social club ... Probably ;)

I have 40c/30f/30p as my nominal goal. As long as I hit my protein grams and I have a deficit I really don't care where the rest land.

I want to be lean and feel superior to other human beings.

Just had two slices of the whitest bread you ever did see wrapping a hot salsa sandwich just before bed. I don't expect to live through the night. I mean, Christ, if this bread were any more processed it would be a Mars Bar. ;)

Bacon fat good.

I build in some slack for my snack just before bed ... bread-based usually ... yum. Carbs help you sleep you know. As does putting away a bottle of red.

Historically, yes, being yer typical IT office drone. But now it's actually helping my weight loss: 1) I take the internal stairs everywhere in our 12 story block 2) I extend my walk home to the train station 3) I don't snack at work, run a bit lean (consumption-wise) and look forward to a GOOD dinner Less distractions,…

Absolutely, fat bad. Er, hold on, fat bad why?

The dude does, indeed, abide. It's a magical movie.

So would I :) Some people are just cool, and despite Mr Jackson relentlessly flogging an on-line betting site in Oz he's still very cool ... So, back on-topic, really cold water ... Just drink a shed load of that ... If you want a negligible metabolic boost ...

On another side note I went to school with the writer of The 51st State. He's a nice guy.

I'm pissed on Red right now and will be tomorrow. And I have hit my protein target so yay me :)

That's a commercial enterprise for you ... I'm dismayed by the rubbish nutrition pushed onto children from school onwards but everything is run like a business these days. The bottom line and spreadsheets are king. Hey, chuck another coke machine in the hallway, cut corners and shave off some $ in the lunch break, etc,…

Red wine works, I have anecdotal, personal and, indeed, current 'I'm chucking it down my neck right now' evidence. Seriously, really, no ... There are no shortcuts. At all. If there were then thanks to the internet we'd all know about them and MFP wouldn't exist. My glass is empty, time for another, chin chin. :)

Absolutely Monty, you terrible c---! :)

I like this guy, sounds like a Man With A Plan. I fail to see the 'obvious reasons' though.

No Cholesterol ... Always a big worry when buying a loaf of bread ... Well. Sign me up then :)

If someone took my tuna away I would punch them squarely on the nose. Then kill their immediate family.

If I can bake them and fill them with anything I want I'm in.

Seems like he has it all wrapped up doesn't he? ...

I've seen both, I've read both the Taubes books, I even bought into the whole carbs are driving insulin is driving fat idea for a while. I did the low carb/keto thing for a while. I still gained (unwanted) fat eventually ... And on not a great number of calories either ... After further reading I don't believe the…

How concerned? Not at all. Ignore them, laugh at them. :)

Hello from halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast (a nice bit, honest ;)). Good luck with your pursuit of health ... I eat it all (chocolate, ice cream daily), I drink red wine like a fish if there were fish that liked red and the only exercise I get is walking (and some token bodyweight exercises). There are plenty…
