She feeds everybody, not just you, as you said.
Take a think about that, and about how fatty Indian food and oils are, no matter how delicious. Believe me, I love a good curry. But not an Indian curry daily - too much, my man.
Your metabolism is natural, unless you go the steroid way and that is m ...[text shortened]... y to my previous knowledge of last post, and take the bread, with minimal sauce/soup. 😉

Doesn't have to be quick at all. But no loss (maybe 1 Kg) in 2 weeks of a change indicates no 'real' change. 😉

Lol, interesting theory but eating bales of vegetables does not work for one is always
hungry! stop snaking is a great idea, instead of a whiskey diet what about a cereal
diet, like eating weetabix with fresh fruits for breakfast and lunch? soup without bread
is like man without women, they are made as compliments of each other.

And in the lead up to my wedding in 1993. And after my motorcycle accident in 2010. My collection of trousers swear by it. I had to have ALL of them altered.
has anyone tried a diet that actually works?

Your own experience seems to confirm his theory, after all, if one has to chase ones
dinner every evening, through forest and glade, rather than ordering a pizza
delivered to the door, one is certainly going to be more healthy. My experience was
somewhat different, i never changed anything, exercise was enough to increase
metabolism and burn da fat! I noticed that all the joggers i observed were really
skinny, coincidence? hardly.

But the swing was slow and the inwardness of it was telegraphed by me delivering it chest on. So I developed a way of bowling a chest on delivery that went dead straight and I'd pitch it right up on the batsmen's crease [after a slew of outswingers] and either bowl him or pointedly intefere with his dignity as he had to convert his imperious pull aimed at a ball presumed to be about to slowly banana from off stump to outside leg into a dig-it-out-off-his-toes "stroke" [complete with plume-of-dust-and-green-skidmark-on-his-willow]. I had to buy many a jug for the wickets that this little three trick routine earned me playing on relatively low rungs of the Herts League, north of London. I was a wicket keeper from age 8 to 17. Took up bowling only after than when I skippered various teams at university and at my club.

If you get your lazy butt out of your comfy 1000.00 dollar chair sitting in front of your computer & get some exercise, you can eat what ever the hell you want!!! 😛

Calories in, calories out. The secret to dropping weight is to spend more calories exercising than the ones you shove in your face. It really is that simple.
