About a fortnight ago
I decided to start introducing more fruit into my diet - a girl can’t live on sweets and steak alone (believe me, I’ve been doing it for too long and its made me peculiar). The fruit craze lasted for about a day when I realised I only like eating apples so I’m now on a smoothie mission to get somewhere near my five a day. I’m drinking those Innocent smoothies and although they’re chunky and weird I am feeling a bit better for drinking them.

Have you tried anything new recently in an attempt to make you feel better?

I can't drink smoothies that you buy in shops
because they all have fucking banana in them, and that revolts me.

Cheap frozen fruit, OJ, yoghurt and a blender are what you want.

I've taken to drinking green tea. Partly because it tastes good, but mostly because it's supposed to be really good for you

See
I could do that when I’m at home as somewhere in the cupboard I do have a blender… but at work I can’t be arsed, I just want the ‘cheat option’. You are right though, the one I’m drinking at the moment is strawberry and banana… its full of bits! :S

bleurgh
I'm trying to eat more fruit too. I'm not a fan of the texture of most fruit though, so I just eat loads of veg instead.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 3 Nov 2009, 14:24, Reply)

That’s good! :)
My issue is that I don’t like the texture of fruit and veg is grim, so I’m sort of screwed. I can only eat carrots and the occasional broccoli and rocket. Balls.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 3 Nov 2009, 14:27, Reply)

veg is good shit
if you can manage broccoli then I'm sure you should be able to eat most stuff.

I've found that steaming veg makes it much tastier. that or roasting it.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 3 Nov 2009, 14:28, Reply)

Hmm
See I prefer my veg crispy and less buggered to death in a pan... its probably because I'm shit at cooking it!! :(
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 3 Nov 2009, 14:29, Reply)

crispy as in not very cooked
or as in cooked to a crisp?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 3 Nov 2009, 14:32, Reply)

Haha
As in not very cooked! I'm not that bad a cook! Haha
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 3 Nov 2009, 14:35, Reply)

nothing wrong with cooking things to a crisp!
use a steamer then. not for things like courgette, that would ming, but carrots, broccoli, cabbage, all that sort of stuff should be steamed for extra tastiness.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 3 Nov 2009, 14:36, Reply)

Hmmm
Maybe I should invest in a steamer then... god I hate feeling like a grown up... steamer shopping! :(

I love buying kitchen stuff
but then I love cooking

made thai chicken cakes, with stir-fried veg and egg fried rice last night. mmmmmm

I love buying kitchen stuff too
but fun things like knives and crazy gadgets... Joseph Joseph and Alessi stuff but not a bloody steamer. :(

Charity work
Last weekend I dangled 130 feet off the side of a building to help raise money for The Stroke Association.

We raised nearly £1500 all told AND I didn't soil myself either.

I trust Mr DiT's hangover wasn't oo severe?

Hahaha yes congratulations on that
I don’t think I could have done it, heights are for tall people! DiT was hungover for most of Sunday, we had bacon and I think he’s okay now! :)

It was a killer
But I blame myself for having two more beers when I got home.

Don't eat too much fruit
it's full of acids which erode your teeth, the five-a-day campaign was aimed at poor people who were too stupid to eat anything even remotely healthy, if you're healthy you needn't bother, but you could cut down on the sugary stuff.

This is almost exactly what my dentist told me, so I'm sticking to sweets and beef.
( Bert Monkeysex is waiting for the mods to delete him, Tue 3 Nov 2009, 14:30, Reply)

Hmmm
see I am pretty active but that’s not the same thing as being healthy. I eat bad food but make up for it with running, jumping, climbing trees etc. Bad food makes your skin naff though so that’s the main thing I am trying to sort out… I won’t give up the beef and sweets entirely! Haha

So long as it doesn't have the same effect as they do on PJM
who's now known a Satsuma Man as he couldn't make it to a bash after eating a whole net of the orangey balls.

I hate it when citrus fruits do that
they go all dry and nasty.


Good god...I never thought I'd end up discussing citrus fruits on b3ta.

Strange, strange place.

I'd eaten half of it
then the last piece I put in my mouth felt pretty much how I imagine going down on an old woman would be. all dry and wrinkled.

I had to spit it out.

I joined a gym about 4 weeks ago
Got an exercise plan and some nutrition guidelines off a trainer. I'm going three times a week and the only real difference I've noticed is that I can now do the whole exercise plan without cheating or passing out or throwing up.

A bit late...
However, with me being a West Country lad, I can assure you that liquid apples are the way forward.

Get yourself some good qualty cloudy cider and you'll be able to enjoy both steak and apples in a glass (a lot of farmer will throw meat in with the apples to help the furmentation process, there was a farm on the A38 that once advertised 'cider - not suitable for vegetarians).

Cider.
