Eating Sheep - Page 9

I have hated margarine since I was a child. I've always eaten butter, although now I choose a light version because it's available.

lose count of the amount of people who've acted surprised when I admit I have butter and cheese still in my diet when I am losing weight. Why should I have nasty things just because I'm fat? If I don't enjoy my food I won't stick to my plan after all.

I had chicken tonight (not Chicken Tonight). It was soooooooo good. Although it sticks in my conscience because I'm not eating free range at the moment. £1.20 for 400g mini fillets is difficult to resist on my budget. Green lentils tomorrow night, no guilt associated there at least.

Butter and cheese are better for you, imo, because they're simple fats that the body can easily deal with. Magarines, processed cheese and other chemicals are harder for your body to deal with.

And they make me constipated.

Although I do like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter for baked potatoes, I think you are on the right track on the real butter.

For instance, I use a hot air popper for popcorn. Then I melt real butter, and slowly drip it onto the popped corn using a tablespoon. Drip and flip, drip and flip. If you're patient, you use way less butter for way more taste than if you used margarine.

SG...I think you should allow yourself to eat a healthy diet which of course needs to include some fats and sugars. As long as you're getting these from natural sources (eg through dairy) then what's the problem? You're teaching yourself healthy new eating habits and I think it's great. If you just went cold turkey from things like fats and sugars, it's really is a diet and not a change of lifestyle, which from where I'm sitting is what you're doing. Of course, we all know that relevant research says that's the way everyone should go about losing weight rather than going on a 'diet'.

Good on you for eating chicken. (you know the hormones make your boobs grow right?)

Butter cheese and bacon are staples of my losing-weight diet. In small amounts, but you still want to get calories as fat, just not as many of them. Fat tastes good and satisfies you and keeps you less hungry for a longer period of time.

Shawnee, should they be overlards?

Lamb Satay. Would have been Kabobs, but too lazy to thread on skewers.
