Dieting

[Rob]

I have a friends who is always,according to her,on a diet.
I heard the other day that she likes for breakfast 2 slices of white bread spread with butter with ham and crisps in the middle!! Washed down with Coca cola!!
I cannot understand why people have unhealthy diets without them realizing this for themselves!!

Most people have unhealthy diets simply because of the stupid amounts of simple carbohydrates contained in modern processed food.

You don't have to go to extremes like your friend to end up ill from what you eat.

The easiest diet to stick to is high protein and only complex carbohydrates.

These foods make you feel full and the urge to snack is gone.

Mmm, I love crisp sandwiches! When I was a kid the Co-op van used to come once a week, on washing day I think so must have been a Monday. And lunch was a soft white bap and a packet of crisps.
I think a high protein diet is a load of rubbish. I think the "normal" food pyramid is the way to eat properly and there is no reason to eat lots of processed food if you know how to cook. Some of those ready meals take longer to microwave than a meal cooked from scratch. It is all mass marketing gone crackers!

Dinner in our house is going to be a new dish :

new potatoes in a bit of oil, roasted for half hour,
add asparagus spears and roast for 5 minutes
add halved cherry tomatoes and some salmon fillets and roast for 30 minutes or til cooked
sprinkle with basil leaves (and I think some balsamic vinegar goes on at some point but I forget when, recipe is on the BBC Good food mag site, search for salmon).

What about the recipe of the month NL? Long time, no see.

I loved the recipe idea we did
but I ended up doing it all!

So I can't do it now tooooooooooo busy!

But of course if anyone else would like to do it please do!

That is sooooooooooo not true!!!
I think you'll find i was always there helping and San too come to think of it!! Or did she used to pretend to cook the recipes?
I won once or twice too as i recall !!!
You are such a martyr NL with your " now toooooo busy!!"
Mind you i'm not going to do it cos i've got a stiff neck and i can't sit too long behind the PC!!
Physio's told me to take it easy !!
