ewerk 31209 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 CT's wife has low aspirations in life? Well I'm shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46034 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 That looks really nice. Was a bit worried about calories but its about 640 per serving so could squeeze it in. Our lass always wanted to try Risotto and a few years ago she ordered it at this beautiful open air restaurant on top of a hotel in Nice. She hated it so we swapped and I loved it. Which basically means she'll twist but hey ho. Let's not kid ourselves that you will be sticking with 640 calories. Garlic bread is almost guaranteed to be making an appearance.

Christmas Tree 4831 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Let's not kid ourselves that you will be sticking with 640 calories. Garlic bread is almost guaranteed to be making an appearance. Not at all. Even turned it down when it was on offer with lasagne the other day. I'm totally determined on being under13 stone before the end of July and .... Edited June 27, 2013 by Christmas Tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43074 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 :lol:Not at all. Even turned it down when it was on offer with lasagne the other day. Because you were full of jizzy potatoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4831 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Briefly Risotto to the wife and face like sour milk. So I amended Nigellas recipe to what was in the cupboard and knocked up a very tasty lunch for under 300 cals. Phone battery quit before final pic but it was presentable. Could wait until it restarted yum yum. Chilli flakes made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4831 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Ham and bacon? Well Nigellas recipe called for 150g of Pancetta and I only had one slice (30g) of bacon. Hence a slice of ham to bulk it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 43074 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Cheers. Put a bit of timber on since stopping smoking ( about 3/4 of a stone). My brother has shifted 3 1/2 stone since Christmas by doing it, so I thought I'd give it a crack. It's not that much of an effort for me tbh, just cutting out the crap on fast days.

Gemmill 46034 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Aye it's dead simple. You have the odd one where you feel starving, but mostly you can almost forget you're doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43074 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Aye- did a bit of reading about it, spoke to my brother etc, looking for the catch. There doesn't seem to be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22155 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 there's no way i could get through a day on 500 calories like so it's a non starter for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43074 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 It's 600 for men. And if I can do it, any fucker can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22155 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 i find it hard going eating less than around 2,500 calories a day. 600 calores is one meal spread over an entire day. i'd be climbing the walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46034 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 You could do it like. It's what we're designed for, you've just got used to being constantly full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22155 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 i get extremely irritable if my blood sugars run too low. can't concentrate, start snapping at people. i'm sure it's possible but i'm not sure i'd be any fun to be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46034 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 It would help with that issue though. A lot of that is psychological too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4831 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Discovered yesterday that rather than peeling chopping and boiling a turnip (sweed), you can just pop them in the microwave for 15 mins and voila! Beautiful tasty turnip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
