When you say you need want to lose some weight and they start to tell you authoratively how to do it!

Drives me mad!

Sorry, that sounded unintentionally dogmatic! I've literally just not experienced the irritating diet advice, though - perhaps my reputation for having a lousy temper helps...

It's only really at work that i "eat" the shake :) but it's mainly there I get questions in fact and then 'my friend lost 25 stone by eating carrots for breakfast' stories come up!

What vlcd did you do tisi? :)

I'm on a vlcd too and I'm not that interested in talking about it (lost 5 stone so far though Wink) but people ask me all the time how I'm doing it etc!

Then you have a stronger stomach than I do, Tartan. The shakes are godawful!

(Does this count as diet talk? Should I now start issuing authoritative advice from a balcony, as if I were some kind of Diet Pope? Not that I'm an advice-giving type. I hate getting it, and I certainly don't dish it out.)

Tisi - Grin

I think you need to copyright Diet Pope. Not sure which diet is for you? Visit dietpope.com

Haha tisi - I really like the shakes though. My favourites are vanilla chocolate mint and banana :)
