Umit, cut out the alcohol - or at least reduce your intake. Hard I know with so many good Aussie wines, but believe me it will be worth it once you start to lose the kg's!


Hi there Bubbles, I need some pointer for healthy yet simple to make food. I am pretty good in the kitchen but I don't have the time to be messing around with food too much.

Check out www.slimmingworld.com you'll get a weeks menu ideas (free), that are delicious, simple and don't leave you starving :D and you'll still have friends at the end of the week, unlike those who eat cabbage soup for a week :lol: :lol: :P

The cabbage soup is the kick start of a healthy long term diet. On Monday I weighed myself 153.75 kilos. I would like to loose at least 20 kilos by the end of the year.

I have memories of the cabbage diet (mostly the smell around the house, every time the lid came off the pot :lol: ).

Hubby did it about three years ago and he lost several kilos in the space of a few weeks, and as you say it is the kick start some need to get going. He's managed to keep all the weight off, and lost a bit more after resuming a normal diet.

You're allowed protein with it, and I used to put a tin of tuna (opened :D ) into his evening bowl of soup.

If you're past the first three days don't stop now! .... have a banana and a walk instead :lol:

I've almost finished all my boxes of Loukoumia, to start dieting on Monday (and since I'm not in Cyprus at the mo. I shall not be able to get any more) ....

Is 'olives' some bit of slang that I don't know about?


Elies/elyes, no.

Everyday I have olives, cheese (halloumi, feta/tulum, Roquefort) tomatoes and Cyprus bread + yogurt (Pittas). A variety of meze's everyday. Main meal in the evenings.

No hidden message and cetainly no junk food or kebab. :wink:
