Cheers guys, will give both of your suggestions a go.
The chilli sauce was very good (I used two chillies - not too hot) - https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/...p-chilli-sauce - as you don't use too much, I've frozen about 6 portions for the future.
I love Chips Alex, but ive learned to work out my days meals & do not clash with carbs, ofc you need carbs but i will have no more than 10 chips..
Linky no worky, soz....Quote:

Don't eat diet stuff, dude, as I don't like eating cardboard... For me, food is all about FLAVOUR, and to get that you need some fat and calories. If you want to lose weight, eat less and/or exercise and burn off the calories you consume - NEVER skimp on TASTE or flavour!!;)
So when I have chips, which admittedly is rarely, as I'm not a chip fiend [prefer rice, pasta or potatoes], it's the real deal or nothing...

The link was purely for Alex as i remember him saying he wanted to loose a bit. I personally think Home made chips are shit in an air fryer. As for food in general, i dont have the slightest bit of interest in fancy food or cooking,you know that.. however when i was loosing weight, i refused to follow any diet cos they basically do not work. I never once ate Low fat foods. All i did was to be very carefull with Carbs & portions, Cutting a blokes daily intake of 2,500 Kal to just 1,000 Kal per day, I lost me over 4 Stone within a year. I do agree Lo fat it is tasteless shite & out of experience there is no need for it as i have proven..
Food & the expence of it is something i wish would take a fuck off tablet..
Your'e right, Andre, it is simple maths. A pound of weight roughly equals 3,500 calories, and it doesn't really matter where those calories come from - cut that amount out each week, and you'll lose a pound each week.
Alex,
look into intermittent fasting.
Not about what you eat, but when.
(Insulin spikes, hunger pangs, bad habits...n such)
Your not as hungry as your habits say you are...
True. If I'm busy I can skip eating at usual times and find the 'need' to eat goes away pretty quickly, it's just a habit or routine your body likes. I quite often eat only once a day and never before noon anyway.Quote:

Exactly right, and as indeed you have proven. Low-fat pish is essentially for the lazy who can't be bothered to exercise! Like Alex says, it's a simple arithmetical equation: burn off more calories than you consume, and you'll lose weight. Simples!Quote:

The fact is, eating processed foods, such as ready meals, low-fat ones or otherwise, and obsessing over calories isn't good for you. Therefore the extra energy you gain from eating healthily, ultimately facilitates the losing of weight, as you feel more motivated/more able to exercise/move, which is crucial to losing weight. The human body is the same as any engine: the QUALITY of the FUEL you feed it, ultimately determines how well it runs!!

the better the water the better the pish:eyebrows: i make my own water from a distiller and add the minerals salts etc that i want.. tastes much better and your body enjoys the benefit of less crap to filter out
