Jungle Diet

[Ann]

Watching "I'm a celebrity" I am amazed at the amount of weight some of the celebrities have lost in the past 3 weeks.
Is it possible to lose weight just eating plain rice and beans (are they baked beans?)
and ......... is it healthy to do this?
I like both rice and beans so just wondering for an after Christmas diet ........ ;)

Ann, you'll probably find you'll lose far more friends than weight. :o)

[anneasquith]

mrs c...... did you get your '' fancy taps '' ? excuse me ann,

[Ann]

Hmmm yes, I was thinking that too .... :))

[tonyav]

Doubt if there baked beans, Ann.

[Ann]

What's the betting that this diet will be in the Sunday papers soon?

[mrs.chappie]

mrs c, go on the rice and bean diet and you could turn your bath into a jacuzzi.

[chrissa1]

Aww. My thumbs up sign, didn't come out.

[Ann]

Chrissa's been on the diet - she's faded away to nothing! :)

[chrissa1]

Lol, Ann. I wish.

[tonyav]

Poor Michael Buerke looked like a skeleton ............

It works...believe me !

I haven't been in the jungle but I had a major health scare..BP (off the scale) ..cholestrerol (off the the scale)...emergency hosp admission...not as emergency admission as my emergency discharge...another story (major phobia).

Anyway...I stripped my diet bare. I only ate fresh veg, baked sweet potatoes, pulses,spices and greek yoghurt (add stuff to make it a dip) for a few months.No ALCOHOL at all !! I No -one had the chance to tell me what to do..I was terrified enough !

I lost a lot of weight. (I had gained a lot in a short period but that's no excuse !

Everything went back to better than normal in weeks...it's mad ,i'm not advocating anything apart from taking a couple months out...even at that I had some brill nights out !

I'm back on it, i've had a brilliant summer so I find it easier in the dark days and nights to abstain from the tempting cold Coors Light ;)

Try it peeps...it really works.Hope this helps x

He list a stone and three pounds and was checked out by the camp doctor. He was deemed very fit and his blood pressure, Olympian.

[Ann]

No meat or fish Kylesmum? Not even chicken?
I bet I could do it if I didn't have to cook for t'other half!

[Ann]

What about fruit Kylesmum - I couldn't live without that every day .. and lots of it too.
How about listing a "Kylesmum diet" on here and list for a week exactly what to eat ..... that would be brilliant (please)!

I'm fed up with looking at diets only to find they are extremely sophisticated menus with foreign foods and spices - I just eat basic food.

Yes, Tonyav. It's our now departed Lab, Jumbo.
