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

@pigwood my thoughts exactly! She sounds like a right barrel of laughs.

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’?

Absolutely!
The liver is our ''Detoxer''...As long as we take reasonable care not to damage our livers with too much booze, the Liver does a fine job of detoxing us.

'I'm someone who eats healthy, is a vegetarian and likes vegetables.'

Me too! But in a curry, or fajitas, or cauliflower cheese or great mounds of buttered carrots with a roast chicken Grin

Exactly! Most veggies can be improved by slathering them with cheese sauce 😀

… Lara’s husband Jasper is a hedge fund manager which is why she can devote so much time to tossing kale while earning £67 pounds a week from balancing her mum’s friend Lucia’s chakras for mate’s rates

.. Despite this Lara was bullshitting from Wed night on, when she actually had 3 gin cocktails, half a bottle of White and 2 tequila slammers with her mate Sienna, so Thurs breakfast was a massive grilled cheese sandwich and it was downhill from there

When Jasper and Lara go out for dinner, Jasper remembers he has some ‘emails’ to send before bed and secretly orders McDs on Deliveroo

Meanwhile Lara is upstairs eating the emergency twix she keeps hidden in her sex toys draw

Jasper lies to Lara about being Vegetarian

In 18 months time Lara will admit she has an eating disorder, and will start a new instagram and get her mate sienna to commission more shite articles like this one but involving embracing grilled cheese sandwiches

Lara is stilled scared of being more than a size 8, so she now hides half the twix she pretends to embrace and eats dried kale she now has hidden in her sex toys draw

Lara now refuses to have sex with the lights on due to her massive 6 pound weight gain, it’s the last straw for Jasper who leaves her for Sienna, this means he has to take up ancestral eating, but bone broth is still better than vegetarian sushi which is literally the most pointless food known to man

To have a reason to start a new instagram account and guilt guilty Sienna into commissioning more shite articles, Lara decides that once Gin cocktail too many means that she is alcoholic so her Dad pays for her to go to the Priory, after which she writes an e-book called something like All That Glitters about her tragic posh girl life which makes heavy weather off the fact she took minuscule amounts of coke 3 times when she was 19

The end

TBF Mondays Mexican salad did sound good

'one simple tip is to add citrus to any meal to increase the bioavailability'

Mate a simple tip is pushing rice krispies with the back of the spoon to fit more in the bowl.

Unlike the load of bollocks in the article, your simple tip is a game changer, I’ll try that the next time I’ve run out of bowls and use the kid ones, thanks!

Lesina · 20/06/2022 22:56

She’s making it up as she goes along. Nobody has all of that drizzle shite to hand in their cupboards. She’ll be down McDonalds in the morning sucking on a bacon and egg McMuffin like the rest of us.

Fizbosshoes · 20/06/2022 22:59

I must congratulate the OP @Loadedforest for managing to sneak this thread past most of the MN food police!! (Until page 10 anyway)
I was expecting lots of carb avoiders people to say this sounded quite delicious but they couldn't possibly eat that much in one week...

Tadpoll · 20/06/2022 23:12

I order pancakes paired with roasted tomatoes and butternut squash, chickpeas, avocado and a tahini and yoghurt dressing.

That. On pancakes?

WishILivedInThrushGreen · 20/06/2022 23:12

What a load of shitey bollox.

For lunch I schlepped over to Cuntio's in Bloomsbury for a chia infused water wrap filled to the brim with grated hemp perfume mixed with faff and otto of mung.

I then headed home for three hours of listening to wood whilst indulging in my favourite exercise of nostril flexing.

Oh I feel good!

TeaAndBiscuitsAndWine · 20/06/2022 23:13

Some of the responses to this are brilliant! I have to say I did have a lovely colourful lunch myself today: fried egg sandwich with ketchup - delicious!

LoisWilkersonslastnerve · 20/06/2022 23:19

Normally I say live and let live but oh I'm cringing at the pretentious tone. What an absolute fud😳

It's depressing that some poor deluded souls actually believe this narcissistic bollocks and will sign up to get their 450 quids worth of made up fucking woo.

She can shove her mung beans up her bleached arsehole

santastolemycat · 20/06/2022 23:35

I have nothing too add except you are all hilarious and I should have been in bed half and hour ago!

santastolemycat · 20/06/2022 23:42

She’s be better saving her money by shopping at a supermarket mums love ;) and using her spare cash to buy some instagram followers! She’s only
got 1000 or so poor sod. My dogs got more than that.

Fernsinthegarden · 20/06/2022 23:43

‘Gut nourishing’ = shits, surely?

so much in there I like the idea of but god knows I have neither the willpower nor the fucks to actually follow through with

She is in the menstrual phase of her cycle though. Who doesn't reach for blueberries and chia seeds then? So much better than a family bar of Galaxy and half a bottle of red...

The whole cycle is the menstrual cycle, she means menstruation I think.
I always "poach two eggs and roast celeriac, broccoli and tomatoes – drizzle everything with cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, lime and chilli and serve on a bed of spinach." during my period.

I actually just chug down some Floradix when I remember

echt · 21/06/2022 00:44

This has to be the funniest thread for ages.

I read one day's entry of ineffable shite and cut to the comments. Priceless. This is why I still like MN after all these years.

NotMushroomInEre · 21/06/2022 00:51

I'm 100% plant-based and my diet looks like this:

Breakfast - 3 or 4 coffees with soya/oat milk. Maybe a packet of beefy Seabrook.

Lunch - Some form of pasty, or a couple of fake meat pies. Or a Quorn ham sandwich.

Tea - Vivera Shwarma kebab on a garlic and coriander naan, with some fried onions if I can be arsed to cut one.

Snacks - more fake meat pies, a tesco effervescent multivitamin, a squirt of B12, and alcohol with Booja-Booja truffles. The Booja-Booja are a rare treat, the alcohol not so much.

I once had a chia seed shot and nearly choked - those fuckers expand when wet, so I haven't had one since.

I only get to walk the dog for 10 minutes at a time due to his age 😪, but that suits us both.

My mantra is 'I must improve', but I keep putting it off until tomorrow [sigh].

FarmGirl78 · 21/06/2022 00:52

Jeez. I got to Wednesday and there was no sign of pot noodle so I really couldn't be arsed reading further. This is not a woman I could relate to. Just bore off with your misery salads.

WiddlinDiddlin · 21/06/2022 03:34

Who is responsible for the invention of this 'buddah bowl' shit. Its a fucking salad, call it a salad, that is what it is.

Is it a way of making vegans and veggies feel a bit less shit on a menu full of dirty burgers, advertise a superfoods salad and a 'buddah bowl' as it looks a bit better than just two fucking salads?

Yes it is in every pub and restaurant now! Let's face it Buddha is hardly a poster boy for healthy living. 😂
