Are you supposed to eat fat?
I encountered a girl who loved it (for the texture I think) but many who hate it. Is is personal preference?

Fat is tasty
That's why low fat foods are bland, and why people eat fatty foods.

That said, you don't need very much of it, so relatively lean meat with a little bit of fat is very nice.

Yes
My wife loves to eat the fat off meat (not a euphemism) whereas I prefer lean meat.

I only did it in my mid-twenties.
At home I wasn't allowed, and recent years I've started saving it for treats.

Do you have a bit jar of fat marked 'treat' on your shelf then?

( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 2 Aug 2010, 12:31, Reply)

no, but I grill bacon
And dip toast in the fat and juice that comes off
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Aug 2010, 12:32, Reply)

I've taken to frying my bacon
because it's quicker. But I just put it in the pan and heat until some of the fan renders off, which the bacon then cooks in. I figure there's little difference in the fat content either way.

Unless I also put in some mushrooms, as they tend to soak up the fat as they fry.

I've got plenty :(

I lost 4lb of it this week

I'm going to go on a kick soon.
Was talking to a friend about compliments, the last one he gave me was "You can still be really pretty, even if you've got so fat"

Hmph.

it's so bloody boring
Went out for a nice dinner on Saturday and have another tomorrow, so it's also very bloody difficult
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Aug 2010, 12:36, Reply)

I'm a bit ill at the moment, and will try and cope with liquids
I may as well avoid meat for the time being. Though I guess eating protein is good.

I'd go for a nice walk, but it's Camberwell.

That's my failing
If I eat out I'm always tempted to eat three times as much as I would at home.

Which means that to balance things out I have to eat like a pauper for 2 days thereafter. And I don't like doing that.

Losing weight is easy if you don't eat out.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 2 Aug 2010, 12:38, Reply)

Indeed
But I eat out quite a bit, so I have to do extreme nonsense for the rest of the week
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Aug 2010, 12:39, Reply)

I love eating out

I know
If they did low-fat things I promise I would opt for them, but they don't so I can't.
And then there's the wine.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Aug 2010, 12:40, Reply)

Ahh booze
I keep trying to be good and opting for gin and tonic, but the cider, she calls to me!

I want to start eating more healthily, but I am so incredibly lazy when it comes to cooking that it just proves difficult.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 2 Aug 2010, 12:42, Reply)

I have sugary syrup in my cider. It's baaaaad
Then again, I don't have tonic, I have lemonade or ginger ale. Mmmm, gin.

Cooking it is the easy bit
Not driving yourself insane with cheese cravings is the difficult part
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 2 Aug 2010, 12:45, Reply)

THIS
I adore cheese so much, I can't even cut down on my consumption of the stuff.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 2 Aug 2010, 12:46, Reply)

This weekend all I had in the way of 'cheese'
Was some Laughing Cow extra light in my mashed potato.
Sad fucking times.

Don't cook then
Just eat raw vegetables. The weight will fall off, and you'll be shitting for Britain within a day and a half.

My dad still makes us watch them
And my mother sits bawking.
She has no time for boobs.

How can anyone have no time for boobs?
I could spend the rest of my life in their company.
