Diet Breakers

Mikey_Fitzgerald · June 28, 2013

We all have cetain dishes or meals that we crave when we're trying to diet and eat healthy

What's your favourite? What do you fantasise about during gym sessions?

Mine would be KFC or Greggs Sausage a Bean Melts

I crack up at the smell of a chippie or bakery, instant meltdown

Crisps

They are my enemy. Whilst also my best friend.

SMITHY FACT
There never been a flavour of crisp I've not liked.

What do you prefer, Roast Chicken Flavour or Prawn Cocktail flavour? We'll say they're Walkers

Tough one that.

Neither taste like the flavour they actually portray.

But I'd pick Prawn Cocktail I think of the two.

You?

Good shout about the chippie. Took everything I had to not have a chip barm on Sunday

Chicken for me

I find Prawn Cocktail just too tart. I can enjoy the first few but then it gets overpowering for me

That's taste buds mate. All different.

Roast Beef or Flamin' Hot Monster Munch?

I've left pickled onion out of this particular battle.

Flamin' Hot for me

God, I would devour a bag of them right now given the chance

Weeks of salads will do that to a man

Mate, seriously, you don't need to be pissing about with salads to lose weight.

by the sounds of it you're stuck in a cycle of eating mad healthy and then eating shiite. THAT NEVER WORKS. Pick a few meals every week where you have your favourite foods and maybe a snack like crisps or a bar of chocolate and it'll keep you focused and stop you doing the inevitable binge which always comes at the end of the cycle.

Easy ways to lose weight without starving yourself or following a 'diet'

Cut portion sizes by 20%
Deliberately chew food twice as long
drink at least 3 pints of water through the day
Eat vegetables with every meal/fruit at breakfast
Eat 2 pieces of fruit with lunch
Cut out alcohol and fizzy drinks
Don't drink caffeine/energy drinks.

I basically do that to be fair

My daily intake of food is as such

Breakfast
Usually Cereal and a bananna

Lunch
Salad with either Tuna, Chicken, Beef or Pastrami usually with an Apple and an Orange

Dinner
A meat or fish with veg. Last night it was Salmon with Cabbage and Carrots

That's been my diet now for about 5-6 weeks. I do occasionally have something bad like a Subway but that's once a week at most.

Annoyingly though my cravings just never seem to go away. I thought that by cutting things out your body would no longer want them anymore, but my body is refusing to play along :lol:
