Too bad you’re not following Atkin’s low-carb diet – I am an EXPERT on that approach and have many tasty recipes that really keep you from craving much of anything. But congrats on the 9 lbs (I thought you brits used “stones”) and sorry about the baking boo-boo.

JJ Daddy O – Vecon is a concentrated vegetable stock which obviously mustn’t have many calories as it’s used in bloody everything.

VegasDad – I don’t mind the cooking, it’s the tidying up afterwards I struggle with.

Penelope – Err, no. But you could always try cutting out food instead.

James – I put a couple back on the day after I wrote this if it’s any consolation to you.

Jeff – You can make little poo snacks out of anything. You just have to “process” it for a while (I think that is officially as crass as I’ve ever gotten)

Gail – Apparently sweetener does work, but I’m yet to try it.

Oli – That link doesn’t work for some reason.

Gary – I struggle with stir frying. I think I need a better wok.

Jo – Yeah, but you start to go off it about half way through the second packet.

(un)relaxeddad – Unfortunatly 9lb pales in significance to the amount I’ve got left to go.

Heh heh, sounds like my cooking. You could try that splendour stuff. It’s meant to be nice. :D

mmmm, looks just scrummy, I hope you ate them all.

A hangover from my diet last year is the fact that I stir fry everything now, when I say everything I mean onion, leek, tomato, pepper and mushroom to which is added diced chicken and then a choice of Nando’s sauces, sultana’s and/or pine nuts.

Sounds nice eh ?

Its what I’ve eaten every night since last November.

Yeah, stick to normal sugar for the meringues. They’re not on your diet list anyway.

I love the photograph. Reminds me very much of the stuff I’ve found on a food blog – http://www.latartinegourmade.com. Interesting recipes, accompanied by good quality photos. (I’ll be the first to admit that your photos aren’t quite as inspiring yet, but give it time (and use that bloody flash!))

I reckon next time you trim your beard (you do trim it from time to time, don’t you?) we won’t recognise you.

I just buy mine from Asda!

Meringues are great for diets, as they have no fat in them and the calories are very low. I make a dessert with fruit and ice cream and crumble meringue on top. You could use low fat youghurt if you like the goddam awful stuff of course.

Would sweetner work? it’s not quite the same consistency is it? I’d just use normal sugar.

Remind me never to come to yours for tea!

I always thought meringue was just something you topped a pie with. I didn’t know you could make little poo snacks out of it.

With all the Quorn, Vecon, and Soylent Green you have been eating lately, no wonder you have dropped another 9 pounds!

Congrats nontheless as it is 11 pounds more than I have lost…

My diet has gone down the pan with the introduction of all things Italian lately. I must get back on the wagon again.
Does your diet allow for wine? Beer? Gin? Meths???
