Slimmers' Thread, Anyone interested in starting a slimmers cafe in 2012? Options

[dave brum]

I have just been given a very bad warning by my GP, lose five stones plus or face the prospect of arthritis. I am almost 42 tall and weigh 20 stones and I'm already starting to suffer with extreme stiffness in my legs and joints. Just bending down to tie my shoelaces is impossible (I've had to revert to wearing slip-on shoes as a consequence) and now I hate having to feed my wifes cats as the p[ain bending down and getting up is excrusiating.

So, without going down Victor Meldrew Street, my conscience is saying join Weight watchers. However my bank balance is saying something else. So, I want to gauge opinion on here, would there be an interest amongst musicians in starting a weight loss support group thread on here that would be a trifle less extortionate than Weight watchers/Slimming World, or any other similar weightloss scam out to capitalise upon people's misfortune???

Thank You.

DB.

Of course the one thing Dugazon did not mention about a low fat diet is how miserable it can make you feel, and what do miserable people often do they EAT and all the wrong things!

Far better to eat that avocado salad, full of all the right sort of fats, and grab a handful of almonds or other foods that are not loaded with cholesterol but do contain fats.

Oily fish three times a week is good for you and tastes delicious. (yum, yum)

Her eating plan ideas, however are brilliant ( I would expect no less) and I would try to call things a long term eating plan, as the 'D' for Diet word tends to lead to people yo-yoing as they do something radical rather than adapt their lifestyle into something they can sustain long term.

If you look at pictures of Dugazon she is stunning, slim, with clear skin and a testament to the eating and fitness plan she recommends.

She is perfectly right about how nutritionally dense people overall are: something I became only too aware of when weaning Matthew and trying to protect him from hidden salt.

Best comment: "I haven't put any salt in it!"
"But what about the OXO cube?"
"Oh yes, I've put an OXO cube in it!"
