half price so worth a go, might get some nandos sauce to go with it

It's alright really. Depends what you cook it with. Texture is a bit urgh so I tend to go for soya more than quorn.

Or just **** it off entirely and go down the hard veg route?

Visited my GP as I still couldn't understand why I was not losing weight after 6 weeks of running every other day and reducing calorie intake. Apparently, I have reduced my calorie intake far too low and this causes the body to reduce it metabolic rate and effectively go into "starvation" mode. After exercise, my net calorie intake was barely over 1,000. The simple statement of eat less and exercise more is actually not entirely correct.

The other thing that I needed to do was more resistance and weight training in between the cardiovascular exercise.

Sure. Within reason, obviously. Everything in moderation and all that. I had much the same discussion yesterday with my daughter.

It's all about balance, including, as you say, between different forms of exercise.

1200 calories is the bottom line init probably a bit more

I'm vegetarian so can't really avoid the stuff. There are defo tastier alternatives though.

That said they've just started making a pepperoni slices alternative that taste jolly nice in a toastie with a slice of laminated cheese

I finally caved and checked how many calories there are in beer.

Drinking 2,175 daily calories doesn't leave much room for food.

I give up on getting in good shape.

so thats 11 ish pints a day?

[RedReet]

That figure is for a case of Bud, I didn't even factor in lunch time pints.

[Neil Young]

New research recommends half a unit of alcohol a day. That's less than two pints of beer or maybe a large glass of wine per week.

Even I drink almost twice that much. Most of you lot are doomed.

I think you're in need of AA, not a diet

Good idea, I imagine I'd be in much better shape than anyone else there and would feel much better about myself. :
