ladies of my office and their various 'diets'
atkins, paleo, pranist, etc. a different one every week.

all the while drinking a bottle of white each night and wondering why they dont 'see the weight come off'.

one of them was eating 12 boiled eggs a day and nothing else. the 'lundgren' diet? wtf. she would quite happily polish off a packet of dr kargs thingies. she thought they were like ryvita until someone pointed out that a packet had 1000 calories in it.

meh

Please
Calories do not exist. The unit of energy is the kilojoule.

Thank you.

it doesnt matter what they are
if you are kidding yourself that eating a packet of mange tous for lunch follwed by one grab bag of minstrels and one box of jelly babies is actually a good diet, you deserve diabetes.

I combined that 5:2 fasting diet
- which is technically a health thing rather than a weightloss thing - with cutting back alcohol to 2 bottles of wine a week as opposed to 4ish.

Lost 10lbs. Alcohol really has a fuckload of calories.
