Especially if eaten with baked beans.
 
Sprouts, carrots, parsnips, spuds, onion = full quota of five-veggies-per-day
 
And sage and onion stuffing must surely count as another two
 
A rough calcumalation shows that's a total of 8 all told!
 
By my logic, the more of it I eat, the healthier I shall become.

I think Steve's login has been hard-coded into the spam identification software...

 
It's a conspiracy I tells yer....
 
And you can't spell 'conspiracy' without "piracy".
 
Or "cons".
 
I'm onto summat here you know.
 
Either that or Gibson has been secretly bought out by Kim Jong-un, and I'm top of the North Korean 'most wanted' list.
 
Interestingly enough...
 
Princess Diana died on the 31 August 1997 having been staying at the Ritz, Paris.

Thatcher died on April 8, 2013 having been staying at the Ritz, London.

I've been saying it's a conspiracy for years, but everyone else thinks it's just crackers.

That was well played, sir - quite funny.

My healthy 8-a-day diet is working wonders...
 
 
I just 'lost' a hell of a lot more weight than I ingested at tea time.
 
 
 

I am going to have to start on the same diet approach that you are currently going through, as I am now beyond big.
 
Mine begins 12/31 - breakfast.  NO milkshake, NO hash browns, NO flavor, NO happiness.
 
Here is an NBA player's hack for helping to burn extra calories.  Water conducts heat away from the human body 25 times faster than air at the same temperature.  Because of this, getting into a cool (NOT cold) shower for 10-15 minutes, or better yet into a swimming pool - does not have to be cold, your body will burn all kinds of calories generating heat to keep the core warm.  The cool water gets the body to jack up the metabolic rate way high, to keep warm.  The EXTRA cool thing about this is that once the body gets into this mode of raised metabolic rate - it will continue to operate like that for 45 minutes to an hour, so even after you come out of the shower or pool after only 10-15 minutes, your body will be flying through burning extra calories for close to an hour.
 
The above is used by pro athletes all over, to keep excess pounds quickly off - and they are legitimate pounds - not those cheesy dehydration pounds that come right back when you get a drink of water.
 
I will be doing the above as well, also beginning on 12/31.  I literally have 60 pounds to lose.

By a similar token, drinking cold water right out of the fridge is better than room temperature water since the body has to heat it up to body temperature and that uses up calories.
