As someone who usually has rice with their chilli do you just omit the rice or replace it with something else? Im in the same boat with currys. I only eat veggie currys but i will miss chaptis!

google cauliflower rice if you want a rice substitute.

I started last week.

There were several threads about it all, I (roughly!) collated them all into one single document which I can email over if you like. You'll need to email me though, cos you ain't got your address up!

Thanks for the replies so far.

anotherdeadhero YGM.! Cheers!

do a google search for primal recipes, you wont go far wrong.

today i am making meatloaf and sweet potato mash for tea.

i have lost 16lbs in 2 weeks...... 8)

Bloody hell. Nice going Ton! So sweet potato is allowed? Lovely!

anotherdeadhero- can you email me as well?
Cheers!

If ye email me, ye shal recieve the wisdom of the masses.

and what mass eh!

what's with the sweet potato ton??

Dave, if you mean what am i cooking with it, then broccoli and spinach.

but if you mean 'what's with it?' well i just fancied some cos i feel beaned out.

is it as bad as normal spuds?

i dreamt of beans last night and chick peas.
my chilli con carne is full of butter beans, kidney beans and filled out with green lentils, no rice, just eat til I cant move. 🙂

[i]just eat til I cant move.[/i]
😆

Do you lay on the floor afterwards, with chilli streaks down your face and your tongue hanging out one side of your mouth.
Hommer Sylee.

I fear sweet potato may be contraband Ton....a bit like my "great cous cous incident of 2011" 😯

Ton you're not on Man v food are you. 😆

Saleem, i would leave the man v food bloke for dead on a good day..... 😉

sweet potato was consumed in the shape of 5 chip shaped things.
i was gonna have a platefull, but felt guilt riddled all of a sudden, thinking of images of idave and solo stood over me, tutting and shaking their heads............ 😆

I thought sweet potato was ok?

Anotherdeadhero ygm from me too. 🙂

Of course, iDave is demonstrating the liberal spectrum of the iDiet, [b]once[/b] you have emerged from the journey, fulled iDave'd, trim and generally happy at how it all turned out in the end.

However, if you're just starting out, then remember, that you will probably make the odd error or misjudgement.
But as you will know, its not the end of the world.

So, sweet potato, no sweet potato ?.

Well, perhaps try to look at it this way.
When you try something for the first time or decide to introduce something into your diet.
Read-up on it first.
You know the iDiet premise, with respect to low GI and reducing the quantity of sugar in your general diet.
So, with this in mind, research your food items and then give them a go.

As has been pointed out before, its a basic template.
once you have it, then you get to play with it to tune it to what you're wanting.

Ton, once you reach a weight you're happier with, and when your body has adjusted to burn more fat for its energy.
Then sweet potato once a week aint gonna do any harm, imo.
In fact, with such a wide range of foods to choose from, I bet you'll struggle to fit them in, 6 days a week.
😉
I'll be keen to know how its going, if you care to post on your experiences.

Its all iDave's work really.

😀

anotherdeadhero can you mail me too please?

Address is in profile.

Thanks

Quite fortuitous this as I'm starting the one true way.

On Saturday (well Sunday actually, Saturday will be my anything goes day...).

I do find it strange that people struggle with food ideas, it's not a difficult concept to follow, if anything it's good that you've now dropped the meat and one veg route.

I had a lovely roast veg medley the other day - Butternut, carrots and parsnips cut long ways, a chopped onion and a shallot, a few chillies and garlic, a chopped pepper and some diced chorizo, seasoned and a tiny splash of olive oil. Bung it in the oven at 190 for 30 minutes and bosh. The oil from the chorizo flavoured everything in the tray making it rather awesome, will definitely be making it again.

do that ^^ with a couple of chicken breasts on top, slathered in harissa then wrapped in bacon... oh and more than a splash of olive oil

Snakebite said tomatoes are out, is he talking sheet again ?

He must have his with custard. They're allowed IMO

Beaten to it ^^^^

🙂

What is this idiet and where can I find out about it ?

Cheers

As above, interested and intrigued by this. A search seems to go round in circles.

[i]What is this idiet and where can I find out about it ? [/i]

To receive a [b]Free[/b] advise doc.

Others have written a nice e-mail to iDave.
Then, when he gets time, he'll shoot off a reply with an attachment.

However, if you don't get any joy.
(He's got a crust to earn like the rest of us)

Then you can mail me, I have an old version, which I think is still relevant, although not having the latest revision, I can't confirm this.

Thanks Solo.

Thanks solo. I'll send him an email and see how it goes. Failing that I'll email you.

Cheers

steamed salmon, broccoli, savoy cabbage and cauli/butter bean and carrot mash well seasoned and bloody lovely, even the wife said it was nice. i thought tomatoes were classed as fruit?

Tonight is/was a very quickly thrown together cottage pie style thing:

[list][*]Few handfuls of veggie mince
Tin chopped toms
3 or 4 chillis
Onion
Cauli mash on top
Served with leeks/cabbage and gravy
Glass or two of red.[/*]
[/list]
Ten minutes to prepare, absolutely lovely.

And just because i know you're all interested...today was my iDay off.

Started off well - compliant breakfast of veggie sausage, toms and egg
Lunch - 3 x cheese on toast
Tea - Veggie burger/buns and fries. With onions, cheese & gherkins. Slowly working my way down a bottle of Vodka, and probably gonna hit up some Mini Egg Shnizzles in a while.

sc-xc.

Good to see someone enjoying their new diet.
I hope you stick with it.

😉

i'm gonna give this a bash whilst the wife is off on hols. 3 weeks of beans and the freedom to trump without any raised eyebrows. Yes!

beans only make you fart a lot if you don't soak them for long enough or don't cook them for long enough, or too fast. Rinsing the beans and replacing the water after a few hours of soaking is a good idea too as the beans release toxins into the water. Or it could be just a poor digestive system and being a Johnny Fartpants is normal.

Kev

Definitely the water, drain and rinse after soaking, drain and rinse after cooking keeps it under control for me...! 😆

iWhispers.

There is more to life than beans.
Ssshhhhh !.

Don't tell ianyone I told you.
😉

I know solo, but i LOOOOVE butter beans (not to mention the trumping) so it's good to have an excuse to go bean mental. The wife isn't a huge fan so i don't get to eat them as much as i'd like...

I shall eat other things too i promise... Is it wrong i'm getting excited about butter bean mash?
