Guru - I want to do your swaps too!

[Elvira]

[onlyme!]

[Elvira]

i love rice, pasta, bread, potatoes-all the carbs!!! no wonder i am obese!! x

oooh but i do love beetroot!! especially pickled! and parsnips mmmmmmm!

 

[onlyme!]

I love bread and pasta and pots but rice is RANK! I hate it I always have and believe me I am not a fussy eater....that is how I ended up nearly 17 stone

 

[Elvira]

You see I am a fussy eater but I eat the wrong things! x

I'll eat just about anything, apart from turnip (unless it's in soup where I can't detect it), stuff like mussels and whelks (but I like scallops), and wierd French ideas like snails. So this is a tough one.

But since you'd swap something for chocolate, that means you can have an amalgamation of things. So I'll swap turnip for the mighty Parmo!

As far as drink is concerned I'm not arsed really. I used to drink Coke Zero a lot as it was the drink of the gods, but I've not touched anything but water, tea and coffee since I started CD. I've not missed soft drinks at all, and I think I'll just jack them in for good.

Ah beetroot is brilliant, my dad grows it and we always get some. It just wrecks the kitchen when you cook it

And parsnips too, but they're best honey glazed and roasted, on a tray with potato, shallots and butternut squash.

<drool>

Back to my water

 

[b_n_3003]

water for diet coke (miss it so) and celery for sweeties

 

[Elvira]

I find talking about food makes me feel less hungry/want it less. And watching cookery programmes and smelling food makes me feel like I have eaten it? Weird I know!!!


Ooh ooh! Mashed swede with butter mmmm

 

[lunar jim]

Ooh ooh! Mashed swede with butter mmmm

Yuk!

 

[Elvira]

No way!? That is something I could live on. No actually carrot and swede mash I could live on! With parsnips in it and potato...

I always love the look of, and smell of courgettes but never found a way to cook them that I like

 

[sailaice]

I love carbs too, I could eat potatoes, pasta and rice all day long

 

[onlyme!]

you would like courgettes if you cooked them up with garlic and bacon OH YES PLEASE!

 

[Elvira]

Sounds divine but I was thinking more along the lines of an 810 friendly way lol they are allowed on 810 aren't they or have I imagined that? x

Yeah, I can't stand turnip, and swede is just a turnip in disguse...

I love courgette. I take some Quorn, chop up some courgette and do them together in the oven with a couple of mushrooms, some balsamic vinegar, chilli flakes and some herbs. Yummy, and totally allowed on 1000 calories

Bacon isn't!

But, you could do my courgette/quorn thing on 810, according to the CD bible. On 1000 you have a carb with it.
