I thought about it, but I'd be one of those who are lying in a heap on the ground sobbing, after trying to run 10 yards.

I have so much admiration for those big people that run a km on that show. I can't even run to the letterbox.

What I'd really like to see is a follow-up two years later to see just how many of the contestants have managed to keep the weight off once the show finished. It may be good entertainment, but I suspect in the long run it actually achieves very little.

It would be interesting.

They are in an artificial environment where they eat little and exercise all day long. Doesn't happen in the real world.

I lost twenty six kilo five years ago and have kept it of since just by changing my diet. I became a diabetic and cut all sugar and high gi foods such as potatoes and still don't need any medication to control my blood sugar

It was served up at a new year's eve party a few years ago.Ii claimed the claw carapase.

you could feed an entire village of ethiopians with that claw. I can't even imagine the size of the critter it came off. Was it lobster and not a crab or some other crsutacean?

Wilks, good for you! I have started hubby and I on a diet this week. Trying to cut out potato and sugary fatty stuff. Also trying to cut down his bread intake.

To replace potato risotto is best made with arborio rice. High fibre low gi. It actually helps push everything through so your body has less time to absorb nutrients and the high fibre absorbeds fat from the blood. Eat it every day

It was a deep sea Crab infact 🙂

The body was around 1 metre across

Thank you. I will have to learn how to make risotto 🙂

At the moment it is rabbit food, green leafy stuffy plus tomatoes and beetroot, peeas and corn plus a small amount of meat. Probably not ideal for a diabetic diet but hopefully better for us than what we have been eating (big slab of meat, lots of bread, mashed potato and really bad things like cheesecake, and appleturnovers and cream and chocolate mmmmmmmm *drool* chocolate.

Senna pods do the same task. fast tracks all the food and you can use the time to contemplate 🙂

Eat nuts for snacks. You should eat every two hours but only small portions. It's easy just add a snack if nuts between the three meals. All those foods you mentioned are diabetic friendly. If you eat 28 grams if walnuts a day you have all of your omega 3. Walnuts do nit contain any if the micro plastic particles that all sea food now contains

Walnuts are good but exxy to eat in large quantitiies.

I dislike cooked vegetables, will eat them when they are baked, but prefer fresh salads.

Shopping for my salads;

Cellery, carrots, capsicum, cucumber, tomatoes. mushrooms, red onions and mixed green leaves.

A little salt, lots of black ground pepper and lemon juice.

This will go with hard boiled eggs, tuna in brine, steamed fish or sardines.

Every now and then I will eat cooked chicken or little meatballs I make from lean mince.

In general I don't like meat very much. Will eat it when visiting family or friends for dinner.

I never use sugar in tea or coffee and very seldom cake, but once or twice a year I crave dark chocolate and make a pig of myself by eating a whole 200g block until the lasr crumb is gone.

Lots of nuts and fresh fruit. Especially cherries.

I used to be 16 stone. Have no idea how much that is in Kg, but I was fat then.
