A load of pretentious twaddle, that’s what.

AchatAVendre · 20/06/2022 16:44

I'm a very healthy eater, but thats unbearably obsessive.

Testingeyes99 · 20/06/2022 16:44

Who has the time

orwellwasright · 20/06/2022 16:44

A 'naturopathic practitioner'.

So a woo-woo wellness bullshit bore then? She can get straight in the bin frankly. You just know she spouts tedious, unscientific bollocks.

KettrickenSmiled · 20/06/2022 16:46

After an indulgent weekend, a liquid breakfast feels good.

Indulgent? Do you think she pigged out on something really, really bad, like half a dozen sugar-filled grapes?

Tryhard40 · 20/06/2022 16:46

She must spend her whole day prepping veg. Either that or she has minions.

KettrickenSmiled · 20/06/2022 16:48

I thought you wrote "she has bunions" @Tryhard40 😂

Although, given the hours of standing at luxury countertops, grimly slicing organic veg, maybe her feet are playing up a bit ...

ClumpingBambooIsALie · 20/06/2022 16:48

If she thinks that diet stabilises blood sugar, she needs to do a fingerprick an hour after the extravagant juices and smoothies she has in place of solid meals.

Unless, of course, she's not diabetic, in which case why is she wanging on about it?

A liquid breakfast. That's a bloody Mary, right?

AchatAVendre · 20/06/2022 16:50

"Fasted til lunchtime" = had a long lie.

MiddleParking · 20/06/2022 16:51

Not that it really matters because the whole thing is completely made up, but how are there literate adults still walking around thinking there is a link between drinking juice and ‘cleansing’?

StickyFingeredWeeNed · 20/06/2022 16:52

Lara isn’t a single mum with a ft job.

in fact I’d wager daddy/bf pays the bills so she can fanny around doing 2 hours exercise every morning before another 2 hours of chopping veg.

11Hawkins · 20/06/2022 16:53

She probably has Gordon Ramsey hidden in the cupboard somewhere.

Give me a plate of fish fingers, chips and beans anyday!

Yup.
Almost every damn sentence contains, or starts with, "I".

This is of particular merit:
Breakfast: I fast until lunchtime – something I often do at the weekends after a later start.

Unlike the Great Unwashed, who just have a lie in & can't be arsed to make breakfast.
Plus - she doesn't "fast" til lunch. She goes out for a posh brunch, the lying twat.
😂💤

pigwood · 20/06/2022 16:54

What a load of old shite . If she had the stress I love with for a week she would be fucking Uber eatsin the SHIT outta maccy d's . She must be a narcissist with absolutely nothing and no one in her life as important as she is . Good for her

KettrickenSmiled · 20/06/2022 16:54

Snap, @AchatAVendre !

11Hawkins · 20/06/2022 16:55

Also this article is really distasteful, there's a cost of living crisis. People choosing food or heat, or feeding their kids or themselves...
and there's this oh I enjoyed brunch at a restaurant 3/4 times a week. Hmm

StickyFingeredWeeNed · 20/06/2022 16:56

I fasted until 2pm to level out my blood sugars and cleanse my colon.

forgot to eat before I left the house so grabbed a Tesco meal deal and aye, I DID have a pepperami.

ClumpingBambooIsALie · 20/06/2022 16:57

A pepperami is actually a pretty good choice for keeping your blood sugars level…

10HailMarys · 20/06/2022 16:58

'Madagascan vanilla powder is a great sugar substitute'

It's not, though, is it

TheAverageUser · 20/06/2022 16:59

I don't get the issue, she likes to eat that way, it seems pretty healthy. It's certainly nutrient dense at least and maybe she likes having food prep to work her life around.

HannahSternDefoe · 20/06/2022 17:00

After reading that, I need a bag of chips...preferably still in the paper with salt and vinegar. 😂

swedex · 20/06/2022 17:04

Who has time for a 30 minute walk followed by a hiit and then a jog! Sod off!!
Pretentious waffle!

Thatswhyimacat · 20/06/2022 17:04

I mean, if you have the time and the money then why not.

More concerning is her reliance on smoothies and coconut oil, neither of which are actually good for you. I hate people spreading faddy misinformation.
