Anyone else watching Michael Moseley

SingToTheSky · 05/08/2020 21:08

No, is it good? I might watch on catch up

Not2bObvious · 05/08/2020 21:13

Yep watching it now, he’s going to put them all on Fast 800 or 5:2 or 16:8, that’s my bet

That’s great curvy, you must have been relieved. Wow on the steps, no wonder you’re knackered.

Thanks guys!

ememem84 · 05/08/2020 22:12

Wowza on the steps!!!

Not watching michael Mosley. I thought it was on yesterday and switched over to watch “how to lose weight well” only it wasn’t michael Mosley. Did learn about the “sexy pineapple” diet though 😂🍍🍍

Nothing but 2kg of pineapple to eat for three days. Ffs. Id die. Actual die. If I eat too much pineapple I get awful stomach cramps and other side effects. So id absolutely lose weight!!!!

SingToTheSky · 05/08/2020 22:16

Ooh that series is with Dr Xand isn’t it? I’ve met him. He’s LOVELY. As is his twin Dr Chris :o

SingToTheSky · 05/08/2020 22:22

Just thinking about that much pineapple makes my mouth feel all “spiky” 😳😂 I love it but it hurts after a while

Not2bObvious · 05/08/2020 22:24

I’m a total saddo, it feels like New Years with all the dieting programs😬 Yeah the blooming pineapples last night! I was surprised the guy on the 12 week plan only lost 8lb? Most men lose that by stopping their post dinner biccie for a week! I do like the doctor twins - very personable
Only watched half of the mm one, recorded the rest for tomorrow.

What channel are they on? Pineapple has that affect on me too em . And grapes in bulk.

Sts today

Awesome steps curvy and yeah for boots

Wolfcub · 06/08/2020 08:20

The Mosley thing was on channel 4

Not2bObvious · 06/08/2020 09:28

Did a big 2 part walk this morning so have over 13,500 done. Shower & weigh, 159.2, back into the 150’s by skin of my teeth. I’ve days away next week and again at the end of the month so I’ve no doubt I’ll see the mid 160’s this month. But it did give me a lift.

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 06/08/2020 10:20

Thanks again everyone.

Pineapple has that effect on me too.
The reason why is because of an enzyme called bromelain, which breaks down proteins, actually starts breaking down your mouth lining just a little bit, causing that burning feeling.

Today will be spent at home tidying my kitchen and living room.

Have a good day all.

SingToTheSky · 06/08/2020 10:31

Ooh that’s interesting curvy I just thought it was because it is acidic or something. Apparently it’s good for congestion too as it breaks up mucus 🤔

I’m very much looking forward to breakfast. Having a yoghurt with various nuts and seeds.

Yesterday I was embarrassingly excited to find some chopped dried mango and apple. Yummm

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 06/08/2020 11:21

Yes Sing, whenever I have a bit of a cough and cold I buy some pineapple juice, especially if I'm working too, it stops me coughing all over the children!

Ooh love dried mango!

Wolfcub · 06/08/2020 12:13

Well now I know what I'm eating next time I have sinusitis thanks Curvy, I go dairy free when I have it but anything extra that helps is most welcome

WreckTangled · 06/08/2020 12:14

I love dried mango.

Pilates done. 4lb up now instead of 5...

ememem84 · 06/08/2020 12:19

Ooh dried mango.

Pineapples great. Apparently it aids healing too. Which is why other fruit goes super ripe when it’s near it in a fruit bowl.

WreckTangled · 06/08/2020 13:13

Vegetarian fajita salad 180 cals. Yum. Making up for the cake yesterday.

Looks nice wreck, plenty of fibre. Had chipotle chicken, guacamole and tomato salad. With lashings & lashings of ginger beer! Oh no I meant wine😉

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 06/08/2020 18:44

I love ginger beer.

The channel 4 show from last night got a bashing on Twitter.

I'm only on 460 for today. I've eaten two decent meals, will probably have some chocolate later. Hopefully that'll make up for yesterday.

Not2bObvious · 06/08/2020 19:02

I should have been more definite in my prediction - only fast 800 would do a stone in 21 days. Meh, I dunno, if they all do it properly they’ll drop that easy enough - it certainly won’t kill them. No magic outside of extreme calorie deficit, I’m confident in that. Easier (possibly) to stick to due to higher protein/low carb food. Been there, bought the book, lost the stone, lost the will

OP posts:
Not2bObvious · 06/08/2020 19:03

Tell you what though MM will certainly gain some pounds through this - kerchief! And the missus

OP posts:
SingToTheSky · 06/08/2020 19:03

Salad looks lovely!

I like freeze dried fruit too. Especially strawberries. The shop didn’t have any though.

Intrigued as to why this programme got a bashing. I’ll try and give it a watch in the next few days!

I was disorganised today and haven’t eaten well. Not huge amounts but just bad choices. Also I’m really horrified how much we’ve spent on food lately so really need to get organised. I hate hate hate meal planning. Need to get the Caglets to agree on more meals they will actually eat so I don’t expire from boredom 😂

Not2bObvious · 06/08/2020 19:04

Kerchief? Ker’ching!!!
