I just don't understand it -I had a MASSIVE salad half an hour ago and I'm still bloody starving!

[helloisitmeyourelookingfor]

Thought I'd start a weight loss chat for people who have erm, hearty appetites but still want to lose weight

Anyone with me?

A massive salad would keep me and my family of 16 children full for a week op. No wonder you're overweight.

If you take the unhealthy route and cut out food groups (carbs) and are not moderately active on a frequent basis, then you can expect to feel starved for the duration of your diet.

Did you try adding dust and breathing deeply ?
But seriously I would be up for a thread for the more ravenous would be dieter .

I couldn't manage a massive salad all to myself.
You need to exercise some portion control.

Have you thought about putting it on a side plate so it looks bigger? Or in an egg cup??

Ahhh some fellow dust eaters

@PaulRuddsWife I am creased up at your example -you hit the nail on the head and martyrdom is so filling!!!!

No wonder this country has an obesity problem with all you people eating massive salads.

Yup the martyrdom sustains half of MN.

It must be because your salad is from somewhere common like Marks and Spencers. Not Fortnum and Masons or Harrods.

I find martyrdom fattening and yet not filling or satisfying

Oh, not Horrads, which is chavvy.

F&M or Selfridges for salad. Not Horrids. Too nouveau riche

Don’t forget the sprinkling of sanctimony with a dash of torment and tears

Is this the 1st massive salad post of 2022?

@Tillsforthrills

Is this the 1st massive salad post of 2022?

Like the first cuckoo of spring!

But it's just not a massive salad if it's not packed full of veggies. I make mine in bulk on a Sunday to last me the week. It's so massive I have to keep it in the garage.

You could try wafting last weeks chicken carcass over it?

If you've used it correctly you can definitely squeeze that 8th meal out of it...

It's so massive I have to keep it in the garage.

I'm in! I need a bit of humour as I haul my (massive) carcass back onto the wagon.

Short story: lost c2st in latter half of last year, have out on about 1/2st over Christmas and I've probably got around 4st in total now to lose.

Long story: oh I'll get round to it at some point but includes period of limited mobility (not weight related, just freak accident), fairly happy with the way I look generally (lucky to carry weight evenly) but edged up to a 22/24 last year and I'd prefer to be around a 16 (currently a 20). I like food, found Why We Eat (Too Much) to be a revelation and I usually weigh every day (Christmas free for all excepted).

Let's see where 2022 takes us eh?

I'm in, need to learn the ways of dust eating polishing off Xmas biscuits

Ah you forgot the bone broth, you need to eat three whole teaspoons of it before your massive salad.

That is of course providing you havent strained the broth straight down the sink , I have never done that , oh no not me , but I believe some MNers have

Massive salads will only fill you up if you tell everyone on MN that you've eaten it and couldn't possibly eat another thing until next week.

If a massive salad is eaten without an audience does it even make a sound?

You also need to tell everyone the random shit you put in your salad that is the trick to making it really filling. Cashews! Beetroot! A quail egg from your own flock in the garden!
