I must admit this picture is a few months old and it was a moment of madness. The stupid thing is I bought 10 and stuck them in the freezer.

I'll let my doctor know that the information he give me was wrong ( 1800 calories a day ) and I'll sent an email of to MFP telling them that their site is flawed and they are setting my calories to low (1710 calories day ) Thank you for letting me know. You have left me speechless. Billy

MMMMmmm bacon, a bacon and egg sandwich would be lovley. Oops I forgot I'm not eating bread.

When I was talking about white foods it was tongue in cheek ( white bread, white rice, pasta and potatoes). I was trying to be witty to start a conversation but by the looks of it I've failed miserable . LOL

I'm 46 6'1 and 16 stone 10 (If you don't know what that means Google it) and my BMI is 30.9 , BMR 1995 so I'm Obese Did you think I'm lying about my details? You put those details in to any weight lose site and come back to me and tell me I'm lying. I'm losing about 2lb a week and I havn't been hungry since I started my…

I love sweet potatoes but haven't had any since I started my diet.

What are you suggesting ?

Thank You for understanding :)

Why do you have a problem with me not eating potatoes, bread and pasta ?

Have you looked at the pictures of me on my profile and 1700 calories is the amount set by MFP. Do you know any thing about losing weight because your talking out your *kitten*.

As someone who's 6'1 and well built 2oz of pasta isn't going to cut it. I'll stick to my cabbage and swede.

Thank you for your advice :)

They look processed and sweet. Where can I get them ? :)

!00g of uncooked pasta is roughly 350 calorie and 3 slices of toast is almost 400 and that doesn't include the butter. If I was eating 2500 calories a day like I should have been I wouldn't have joined a weight lose website. If you asked any one who has lost weight they all have little tricks that work for them. Good or…

Because I wanted to up my protein and eat more veg and to stay under my calorie allowance of 1700 which is hard to do if bread and pasta are using up 700 of that. Since I started cutting out bread and pasta my chocolate consumption has dropped to almost zero. Its wasn't my plan it just happened.

Every time I've been to France everyone is carrying a baguette under their arms. That blows my argument out of the water because they're all skinny minnies . BUGGER !

It's not just beige food that's the work of the devil, but beige paint and beige swirly carpet.

Before everyone gets their knickers in a twist. I don't literally believe white foods are the work of the devil. It was trying to throw the question out there in humorous way ( it went over the heads of some people ) I have cut out white carbs (potatoes, rice, pasta and bread) and replaced with veg. I just wanted people…

Someone has had a sense of humour bypass.

You MUST count your fruit and veg. Most days I have 300 calories from veg and if I have a banana and 2 apples that's another 200. If you are reaching you calorie limit everyday and not adding your fruit and veg your not going to lose any weight.

Would you like to enlighten us with your comprehensive answer :)

At the moment I'm going to keep to my diet but I know I can't stay away from devils little helpers from forever. Then it will be the brown stuff. I don't know if it's the removal of the white stuff or the increase in protein that's controlling my sugar carving

You have done really well at losing 127lb. That must have been hard hard. More power to your elbow :)

I'm Irish and the thought of giving up Potatoes is a bit like giving up breathing but it's been pretty easy. Pasta has been harder because having the sauce with veg just isn't the same.

Thats a good idea, do you not need any oil?

I find weight-watchers meals and all diet ready-meals are so small I have to cook a lot of vegs to go with them. So If I have to cook a load of veg I might as well make something fresh to go with my peas and carrots .

Congratulation. You look fab :)

Theyre the size of a small cantaloupe melon and twice as hard as a potato. Really hard work.

Swedes in England and called Turnips in Scotland. I have seen turnips in the supermarkets in London. They look like a swede but much smaller.

I might go out tomorrow and get a hot air popcorn maker. We don't really need another gadgets in the kitchen but can't say no to low calories snacking.
