I see you are back Murph - that must be some sort of record for good weather in Wales! That, or you have very low standards?

How do you know how his trip was already?

The only thing I have ever done in Wales was wonder about the hills in the rain looking for mushrooms. That trip wasn't much fun, but the trip shortly after that was fantastic.

Well, Murph's status currently is "Psychadelic"! Possibly psilocybin-induced?

I wasn't in Wales. I was on the North Norfolk Coast and the weather was fine.

That's Diggers and Bertie looking for a seagull to abuse.

My nasty little secret is out. I'm an old hippy. Although locally, no one would be surprised by that admission. This is what I drive:

Tuesday last was my Birthday. Unusually for me I was feeling rather happy despite the relentless march of time, but my Better Half thought it would be a good idea to point out that I was overweight and "don't you think you ought to do something about it". "No" I replied "I don't have to. I'm a man" and to prove the point I dropped my trousers, released the beast and waggled it about in the air. As she wandered off, rolling her eyes and mumbling something about being married to a twelve year old, I got to thinking that she might have a point after all.

So, I am dieting. I don't do things in half measures, so along with alcohol, I have cut out all rice, bread, pasta and potatoes. I am eating only vegetables, dried fruit, and mycoprotein.

Cake is dead to me.


I miss suet based puddings, but they are now gone from my life.


The diet started on Tuesday and today I even brought a weighing scale. It objected when I stood on it but finally came up with 19st 13lb (279 pounds or 127 kilos). I was mightily relieved to come in (just) under 20 stone. Googling the ideal weight for my height (6'2") apparently I should be no more than 13st 10 (192 pounds), to that I say "BOLLOCKS TO YOU, MR GOOGLE, YOU ARSE!!!". If I was as light as that I'd look skeletal. I'm a large framed chap, I used to play open side flanker (not that that will make any sense to the unfortunate Americans amongst you) and I'm pretty sure that anything below 16 stone will just make me look sickly. So my target is 16 stone (224 pounds).

Hah, only 55 pounds? I'll have that licked in no time.

Riiiiiight. Where, in the Queen's name, did you hear about this diet?

I'm going to be blunt an honest. I'm very open minded when it comes to these things. I consider myself more knowledgeable than 90% of nutritionists when it comes specifically to how to burn fat properly and keep it off.

That is one of the stuuuuuuuupidest bollofucking diets I've ever heard of. Truly, honestly, I am saying this from the bottom of my heart.

Dried fruit may as well be candy dude. What's wrong with the water that normally comes in fruit? Too filling?

[I then kept typing....and deleted it]

I could give you some helpful resources, but I doubt you'd listen to me. Do you at least eat fish?

I've got to go to the dentist...I'll be back.

Fuck man. The only real food you're gonna eat is vegetables?

I don't even drink protein shakes.

Okay now I'm gonna be late.

I gotta agree with loop. Sounds like you're trying to go low carb, but you are basically eating sugared candies as dried fruit. Regular fruit is OK, but in serious moderation. Vegetables, animal protein (mushrooms are not really nutritionally sufficient,) and fruit and nuts in moderation is basically a paleo diet ,which is very healthy and good for losing weight. With what you have now, you are going to suffer from a lack of fat in your diet, which is going to cause you to eat more, since fat is what helps trigger the brain to realize you are full.

I'm sure loop will provide more resources later, but do your body a favor and look into the paleo diet instead of the strange vegan nutritionally minimal sugarfest you have going right now.. :

Fats do a quite a lot more than we realise, including regulating hormones. Wonder how long Mr Murph will last on his diet. Sounds rather fibrous too.

I don't know what the others are whining about. If you add the occasional Snickers, Big Mac and bag of Haribo Gummi bears you'll have what I've been eating for the past 20 years, and mine is a figure to be envied.

OMG,
I had to sign in to answer a PM.
But LMAO, Who cares about the damn food? How can anyone remember the damn diet in this post.
You and Pony are hilarious. I am not kidding Murphy this one beats all; you have really taken the cake this time! (literally):H

I have tears running down my face and once again had to leave my desk before I pee my pants.
I've been with my company 29 years and never lost my job due to alcohol but your posts just might do me in.

Never laughed so hard in my life, never!

Murph.... yeah, what Lo0p, Mog and UKB said. Seriously shite diet you're on.

I'm going to keep this simple, because it IS simple. The best and easiest diet - eat food in as close to its natural form as you can get it. No (or as little as possible!!) processed crap. If it's packaged, it's most likely processed. Bread and pasta would fall into that category. Potatoes don't. Potatoes are fine.
If you eat this way, you really don't have to worry about anything else, really. At least, not at this point.
I'm not in the camp that says you need to limit fruit. Maybe some people need to. But I eat a LOT of it and I do just fine. I'm also very physically active.

I know you're a vegetarian, and I still think you can do just fine and pretty much get everything you need (may need to supplement with B-12) by eating this way.

And yes, good fats are your friend. Get yourself a jar of coconut oil and stir fry your veggies in it. Toss a spoonful into a fruit smoothie. Eat avocados. Eat nuts (preferably raw if you can get em, otherwise just roasted, no salt). Eventually your palate will adjust to not having everything be overly seasoned and you'll actually begin to TASTE the food.

And of course, everything in moderation - don't eat JUST avocados and nuts! Variety is your friend. Eventually your body will tell you what it wants. And if it says cake, it's fucking lying! Let me rephrase that - eventually your body will tell you what it NEEDS. Aside from that, it's really no holds barred. Go nuts... err, I mean crazy! :H

Admittedly I did shit my pants several times and passed out on numerous occasions and I looked dreadful at the end of it, but the pounds just fell off.

Nor do I. Why do you mention it?

Big Mac's are a nono I'm afraid, but the gummi bears are quite appealing and aren't they fruit flavoured, sort of? Sounds like one of my five a day to me.

Thank you Lushy. I like your new avatar btw.
