To demand that every time one says one is on a diet, this MUST be met with disbelief ?

Not "oh right"

Was your last comment to me? If so it was quite uncalled-for and a very strange personal attack. Happy to be wrong.

I have two colleagues who are on lighter life when I am doing low carb.

Those shakes look monstrous. They have been told about ketosis and think that the lighter life is the route to that, I have mentioned very briefly that low carb does the same thing but you can actually eat food, but they are not convinced and think that atkins diet is a surefire way to have a heart attack.

Mostly though we keep out mouths shut as we are vastly outweighed by men on the team and we don't want to Invite Comments.

Why talk about it at all? If you'd keep it to yourself, nobody would notice and wouldn't invite comment. There's nothing more boring than listening to somebody droning on about diets all the time. Do it or don't do it, nobody cares...

It's sometimes nice to talk about what you're doing as part of general conversation. I sometimes tell people after they feel obliged to continually offer me cakes

Lying witch read the thread, I already explained why

I don't tell anyone about my low carbing - If I am pressed to eat cakes/biscuits I just claim to have a wheat/gluten intolerance - it gets a much better reaction!

I hope you won't mind if I roll my eyes at your fake intolerance.

lol at intolerance.

Or lie and say you have diabtetes

Claim to have a made-up-illness.

What's Latin for "don't want to eat it"?

I am joking about the diabetes, I know it's a hideous condition to be diagnosed with, not just a get out of jail free excuse for dieters (in case anyone is offended).

You're on a diet

WOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

i don't believe you!

That's it. I want more. "what? YOU? You size 24 barrel of health?".
Yes. Like that.

Getorf dieting is a very personal journey. Your way is best for you, their way is best for them. LL shakes are not monstrous, it is very hard to go without any food though. Some can, some cannot and disguise it with - wouldn't want to go without food.

I think when you tell someone how old you are the correct response should always be 'NO! You cant be'
NOT
'oh'

EVER.

Oh I know it's a personal journey, but I can't think how cottage pie flavoured soup from lighter life can be described as anything other than monstrous. I smelled the thing.

Yy neve do food replacements. Eithe do without. Or have a small bit. No snack bars no fake sugar. Man
Up and take control

Same as loads of the same non carb food every single day! Monster arteries for your trouble! ewww

i love.

Bless you. Defending lighter life when it acts by sending the body into ketosis. Which is exactly what low carb (which you are erroneously slagging off) does as well.

Why not take a word of your own advice "dieting is a very personal journey. Your way is best for you, their way is best for them"

At last we agree!

Is the right time to interject with 'diets dont work'

HTH

Or that old chestnut 'eat less, move more'

I do not believe you devere

God, all those shake diet things are just ridicularse. Same amount of calories in a shake as there is in a sandwich - just what is the bloody point?
