The world's best least-known diet

[Fantasticdiet]

I've found what I believe to be the world's best diet and wanted to share it with fellow mumsnetters.

But first - I want you to guess what it is!

nah

just tell us

life's too short

or

eat less move more drink more water

Tell me or I will have to kill you. I may kill you anyway if it's something like "eat less, move more".

I dont know but I am guessing it's not eating a whole bar of green and blacks in one go whilst mumnsetting and telling your dc it's grown up chocolate that will make them sick so you cant share...

I promise that this diet delivers steady weight-loss of 2-3lbs a week

And you don't have to do anything!

Promise this is a really good thing, and no-one knows about it because it's sort of ancillary to something else.

NoS diet :).

Alouiseg You might have to kill her, becuase it is the best diet in the world. Eat a little bit of everything even chocolate, and take the stairs insetad of the lift! (your feet instead of the car).

If it is the least known diet how are we supposed to know what it is?

I bet it's give up anything that comes in a wrapper.

Don't tell me, and it yours for free when you sign on for... yadda yadda yadda

.

Takes the fecking stairs anyway

get food poisoning? you're so ill you can't eat for weeks properly and you definitely lose a lot of weight.

Don't eat anything that wasn't available during rationing?

ROFL - I promise I am not on any form of commission and it really isn't marketed as a diet - it just happens to be the best diet I've ever tried

come on. spit it out.

Actually, is that it? chew it, then spit it out?

SecretNutellaFix - i think you've hit the bacteria on the head there. Botulism!

ROFL at chewing it up and spitting it out

Double ROFL at botulism - good guess - although I'm not sure botulism would give you long term steady weight loss

ok, you're rofling we're tapping our fingers....

drum roll

hands over the mike...

Whatever, i actually don't care anymore

Me neither. I'm off.

I might have leave you all hanging while I nip out shopping for some size 12 clothes - haven't seen the inside of a size 12 for a few years now ...

Goes back to lettuce leaf mournfully.

I hate threads like this. I wont be back.

annoying and smug

Oh, I've made you all grumpy :(

And I'd planned to hang on a bit for the big reveal.

So, here it is:

Well, my bottom teeth are uneven, which created pockets in my gums which were prone to infection. After much debate my dentist persuaded me to have a fixed brace fitted on my lower teeth.

The fixed brace is virtually invisible because they use ceramic fixings for adults. But eating is very inconvenient. Snacking just stops completely. You just don't snack when you know you're going to have to clean your teeth thoroughly afterwards. You also tend to eat smaller portions.

Apparently it's a well-known phenomenon (to dentists) but it's a happy side-effect for me.

Just wanted to share :)
