I once had 6 for my dinner – my weight ballooned to almost 67 kg but I am back to a fighting weight of 65 kg now.
LOL OMG ROFLMAO (and every other internet acronym expressing stupid amounts of disgust at something so horrific!)
How did you cope being so fat? 😕
And here’s me, sat thinking I can be a bit self righteous at times about still being quite slim despite the fact I eat 4 times what normal people do, and I’m 74kg having come down from about 78kg! 😉
It’s probably fairly trivial to find some badly produced study or lazy journalism article suggesting that there ‘may’ be a health risk for just about anything you care to think of. I’m sure if I looked hard enough I could probably ‘prove’ that Cliff Richard may cause gout.
We “know” for sure that some things are not good for us, and we also know there’s lots of people out there trying to prove almost everything is not good for us. Where do you stop? Personally, I’m prepared to accept that drinking maybe 1 litre of Diet Soft Drinks every day is a whole lot better for me than drinking 1 litre a day of full fat soft drink. Even if it’s just because that’s about 20 full teaspoonfulls of sugar less per day, and nothing else. Much as I have a sweet tooth, I know that refined sugar is one of if not the worst thing in my diet at all, so if I can replace something I like that has sugar in with something that tastes pretty much as good with something that doesn’t contain sugar, then that is in my book, a small victory!
I’d love to tell you I had a very healthy diet that anyone and everyone could be proud of, but to be honest I was kinda brought up on convenience food a lot of the time, and I pretty much had to fend for myself from 14 onwards (Mum died, Dad spent a lot of time down the pub), and though I can cook a good meal when I want to I’ve got into the habit of eating more convenient foods too often. But I’ve improved it a lot, and will continue to do so if I can. The “holier than thou” people that only eat food fresh, straight from the ground, and pure filtered water or the finest red wines, well fair play to you, but you probably spend about 25% of your waking life preparing that food which for some people isn’t always easy!
