"For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism." -
I had a flatmate who was a bit plump to put it mildly and once she moved in we had to activate additional kitchen cabinets so that she could store jars and jars of organic grains.
Quinoia was one of her favourite foods (I thought dammit why can't you eat something that grows in Slovenia). I was super fit in that time (jogging, training) and when I went home from work I sometimes grabbed prosciutto (smoke dried pork - not kosher or healthy but tastes super good) and mayonnaise.
And always the organic flatmate would tell me - I ate some of your mayo and prosciutto.
My brother lost a lot of weight couple of years ago and his diet based on eating less proteins but not eating stuff he didn't like. He even made occasional exceptions for some ice cream or beer. -
We have fake (Beef) prosciutto here, not as good as the real thing but still extremely yumm.
My wife traded Quinoa for buckwheat, it tastes ok."For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism."Comment

Almost a year ago, I made a decision to stop feeding dollar bills into the junk food and pop machines at work. I was pushing 240 lbs. at the time.
Last week I went to the doc, and when they wieghed me, I cheered out loud.
197.5 lbs!
Under 200 for the first time in 20 years
Plus, $3-$5/day not given to the vending machines....about a thousand bux there, which I have instead thrown into an old hobby I have taken back up

My recipe: I was 107 kg. I had to go into Nicosia General Hospital for a bit over 2 weeks. The food there was so goddam awful, I just couldn't eat most of it. I had some tasteless, watery, soup with a slice of dry factory pseudo bread (I added some herbs and spices to make it less awful) for lunch and supper and a glass of milk. On odd occasions, I was given a couple of lettuce leaves, a piece of fruit or a red jelly of indeterminate flavour. When I got dressed to leave, my pants fell down to my ankles; I had to take my belt in 12 cm! I was 81 kg, 26 loss in about 18 days. This was three years ago. I haven't bothered about weight since except to monitor the effect of diuretics. This morning, I'm moderately "dry" and weighed in at 91,2 kg but will drop to under 90.5 when today's Lasix takes effect.
It was a drastic diet and unbalanced, but it certainly was effective and I'm glad I haven't rebounded more than about 10 kg.Brian (the devil incarnate)

Been going to the gym again since 2 weeks. Goal is to gain weight. I'm 1.75m and 63kg.
Drinking beer does help a bit but not enough and in the wrong place.

Has anyone tried 5/2 fasting?
Dr Michael Moseley explored it in his programme for BBC's Horizon thread. Fasting has many potential health benefits, including restoring cognitive function. There are many successful studys in mice etc but not too many in humans yet.
He settled on a 5/2 regime and kept it up for at least five weeks. He ate normally most days and fasted (600 calories of healthy stuff) on Tuesdays and Thursdays). After 5 weeks he had lost almost a stone and the blood tests (glucose, cholesterol and IGF) were much improved.

I have a problem, not specifically of weight but more of profile. 2 compressive vertebrae fractures, a partial dislocation and an intervertebral hernia have caused me to lose a good 7 cm in height. The distance between the bottom of my rib cage and the top of my pelvis is now only 4 cm. This has caused my gut to bulge outwards, pushing the fat in front of it. Talk about love handles!Brian (the devil incarnate)
