Me too also.

Crisps have no nutritional value at all and cereal's full of sugar. Why would you...?

I went sugar-free for eight weeks and I'm actually under my fighting weight! I followed that diet by Michael Mosley, you know the chap who did the 5-2 fast diet. Made me feel really good. And smug LOL...

I prefer my diet which is based on the Laziness Ratio. You get to teatime and you think "there is no way I am cooking now, waiting on things and the like" so you eat a bowl of cereal and hey presto you dont have to worry about tea and there is less dishes

I may write a book

Oh no, I haven't heard of that, I wouldn't be a massive sugar lover though anyway, it's savoury stuff that are my down fall. I'm just keeping track of my calories really right now, trying not to go over 1200 and doing a 20min run on the tread mill before work

It's amazing how much sugar is in stuff... you're not allowed any bread, rice, pasta, potatoes or other root vegetables. They said I'd have a headache at first, and I am prone to headaches... but I felt absolutely fine from day 1. Oh, and you can only have 800 calories a day. It works!

I'm not back to proper running yet because of my leg, but I'm cycling quite a lot.

I'm not eating bread really atm and I could live without pasta and rice but (how irish do i sound) I love potatoes What did you eat for dinners then, just meat and veg?

Oh yeah forgot about your leg, atleast you can cycle though, I must get my bike out soon too now the weather is turning a bit

[Babayaro.]

Mess at having cereal during the day at like 3pm

What kind of caveman mentality

There's a whole menu in the book, but it's things like 'jewelled peppers with pomegranate seeds'... who's got time for that? So I had mostly meat, fish, eggs, leafy veg, a little cheese... It was only eight weeks and it really was fine, I wasn't hungry. I did miss spuds though, so maybe I am part-Irish after all!

Oh you're allowed cheese then? That's not so bad, i reckon I could live on fish and cheese quite happily for a while

I just looked up that 5:2 diet so it's normal eating 5 days and only 500 calories 2 days? that sounds doable
