It goes something like this:

If you are happy with your weight eat whatever you want and exercise however much you want to.

If you are heavier than you’d like to be eat less and move much more.

If you are lighter than you’d like to be eat much more and move more.

Simples.

eat much more and move more.

it is nearly correct
If you are heavier than you’d like to be eat picolax

Just seen some photos of me 12 months ago, I’m in!

Right then nospoons – find a pie shop 50 miles away, ride there buy and eat one pie then ride back.

yeah for some common sense around here.
even though 107% of statistics are made up, only 3% of diets actually work. I reckon this could be the 3%.
(60% of the time it works all the time- ……. sex panther)

do phys, drink beer, eat pies, do phys, etc

Alternately you could launch the ‘surrounded by actual Zulus’ diet, where you get chased across the African Karoo- quite a big place

When I was 16, I wore 28″ waist jeans.

Now, at 39, I wear 30″ jeans.

I’m ****, sign me up!!

30″?! That can’t be healthy -move less!

Can we have trifle?

I like the sound of this.
I’ve just drunk a lot of beer, that’s ok on the Z Plan right?

can we have the worlds oldest brewery since 1040 weihenstephan Hefe weissbier alc 5.4% vol cloudy wheat beer (it says here)?

I don’t mind a little bit of flab 🙂

I’m riding me bike all over the place in the morn…

This idea is so true, I like it. Forget fad-based pish, just equate calories in to calories out.

Someone will be along soon to take your debit card details.

30″!!! where do keep all your internal organs???

30″!!! where do keep all your internal organs???

Inside him but they’re much smaller and weaker than a normal persons.

The samuri diet goes thus.
Eat what you want. Work so hard at everything you do, you almost die.
You’ll lose weight, trust me.

just equate calories in to calories out.

Woah, got a bit ‘scientific’ there for a second.

Oops, my bad. Worth trying the Viz approach instead.

Weigh yourself, go for a dump, weigh yourself again, and the difference is how much food you can eat.

What,are Chain Reaction selling diets now?

Remember, lard can aid slimming only as part of a calorie controlled diet.

SBZ we could be twins.

If you are lighter than you’d like to be eat much more and move more.

shouldn’t that be
If you are lighter than you’d like to be eat much more and move less.

?

No Bassspine, because that would just make you fat.

Much sense spoken here!

I was at work reading a trashy magazine once, and read out to some of the (supposedly educated staff) about a prof in America who “lost weight by eating only sweets and cakes”. They simply couldn’t fathom how he did it! Some wondered if they had laxatives in, others thought he made himself sick…
The concept of a calorie controlled diet, regardless of the foodstuffs, was lost on them!!

DrP

30″!!! where do keep all your internal organs???

Apparently I have hollow legs.

You’re only an inch and a half taller than me but weigh almost a stone more. Fatty! 😉

A colleague doing the Slim Fast shake thing had her ‘normal meal’ at work yesterday because her husband was away: lasagne and chips followed by apple crumble and custard 🙂

SBZ, you weigh three stone more than me fatso.

To give you an example of my diet, this morning I had some toast and jam, some cereal, a couple of bacon and egg rolls and two cups of tea. The exercise part included taking my boys to their running class and then out on the bikes for a couple of hours. That’ll be a nice big lunch and this evening’s curry well and truly earned.

sbz, there’s no way you can be ‘fit as a butchers dog’ and eat curry, cakes and pies, that’s just impossible, the world doesn’t work like that.

Course you can!

Keva – why on earth not?

You do know what long distance cyclists really eat, don’t you?

sbz+mike, I was taking the pish. I frequently consume vast amounts of food and beer for my size and have been doing so for years – not cakes and sweets though as they’re not my thing.

Nice load of roast lamb, cakes and cider today. Earned with a three hour walk with the kids. Quality diet this one.

You know, it’s easy to be sarcastic, but I’ve rapidly lost weight on iDave despite eating quite a bit more calories than before…

See if I was rapidly losing weight despite eating more calories than before I’d be straight to the docs and making sure that I didnt have cancer.

It’d be right funny if I suddenly developed a cancer with no other symptoms at the exact same time I started a diet, wouldn’t it?

Strikes me that the people who are always telling you how easy it is to lose weight are the people for whom it is easy. Or who’ve never put it on in the first place.

Wouldnt be funny in the slightest. But sudden unexplained weight loss and all that…

Funny as in strange.

It’s not unexplained is it? I’m on a diet.

If you are taking in more calories than you’re burning off and still losing weight then it is indeed unexplained.
